Glossybox January 2015 - Review

My last review on the December Glossybox wasn't great (you can read that here), my finger has hovered over the cancel button a couple of times until I realised that I had collected enough Glossydots to qualify for a free box so obviously took advantage of that before fully making my decision.  I was quite apprehensive to see what products would be sent this month after the rubbish that was sent in December. My January box arrived last week and on opening it the question was do I cancel or continue with my subscription this box was going to be the decider.................





What did I receive this month?



This is a new brand to me Kueshi Natural & Pleasant Cosmetics Revitalizing Face Toner (full size 200ml received RRP 10.70 Euros). This beautiful, bright pink toner is a blend of natural ingredients such as chamomile, calendula and aloe vera to calm and re-hydrate the skin. It's a lovely item and smells really nice so I'm looking forward to testing this out. 



Next up is a super sweet little faux metal pot with a mini powder puff and  packed to the brim with a pinky blush. Again, this another brand that I have not heard of Nicka K New York Colourluxe Powder Blush (full size 5g received RRP $8.95), with a quick Google I found out that Nicka K was a brand founded in 1995 in the heart of New York City with the emphasis being on high quality products whilst being affordable at the same time. I love this little pot of blush, sadly it's a little too pinky for me but if carefully applied and buffed on I'm sure I'll be able to make use of it. 



The third item is a lip balm (wahoo, got to love a lip balm!).  This particular balm is by a brand called Naked Lips Organic Lip Balm Superfruits (full size received RRP 5 Euros). I like the packaging, it smells nice and it's not at all waxy as promised, a great little item to receive. 



Next up is an eyeliner by MeMeMe in the shade Clay (full size received RRP £4.00), I like this brand and this is a lovely eye liner in a very wearable shade, I've been using it underneath my lower lashes to define my eyes and it doesn't drag the skin at all and you can achieve some nice results with it, a great item to add to my eye liner collection!



Finally and last but not least is my favourite item received in this months box, Jelly Pong Pong All Over Glow (full size 15g received RRP £10.00), I love the brand Jelly Pong Pong, it's fun and funky and this item is no exception! I am a big fan of highlighters and this gives a gorgeous iridescent glow to the apples of the cheeks without being overly glittery, I love, love, love it!

Rather annoyingly I would say that for the moment Glossybox has retained me as a customer, this is also helped by the little sneak peek what is to come in the February box which I am excited to receive. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that future boxes will maintain a high quality and I will remain a subscriber in the future. 

What are the thoughts on this months Glossybox?

  1. This is a lovely selection, but I just find the products in them to be so hit and miss.

    1. I totally agree and find that more and more with beauty boxes, particularly Glossybox X

  2. That's what I found with beauty boxes, there are often items which I wouldn't use. There are so many eye liners one needs. I like the sound of that toner, and a lip balm is always useful.
