Once again I am on the drag with my reviews of the beauty boxes, my last review was the style edition but there has been a box inbetween these, oops! This month Glossybox is titled from lipstick to lashes. On opening the box I was greeted with a decent selection of items, pretty much all make up items and all either full size or decent sized samples.
First item, Eyelure Natural Lashes (RRP £5.00, full size received) I haven't worn falsies for so long, I have no real need to as I feel I can achieve a decent look with the right mascara but these do look quite nice and I might keep them for my birthday meal out.
Next item was a primer, Emite Diamond Hearty Primer (RRP for full size £25.90, sample tube received), now I do love a primer, especially a brightening one but to try and compete with my beloved clarins beauty flash balm (not technically a primer but I love it under makeup) is a hard task. This is quite nice, it doesn't rub in particularly well I have to say but I do quite like the look it achieves once on the skin.
The third item is a brand I'm not overly keen on (I always feel it's a tad cheap looking and not great results), MUA Eyeshadow Palette (RRP £4.00, full size received), however I have been quite surprised by this. Yes the packaging is a bit dull but the actually shades are lovely and I have been able to achive some nice results, I can't say I'll be rushing out to buy more of the brand but for day to day use this palette is perfectly adequate.
The fourth item is my least favourite. I am very picky over lipsticks I wear and I often favour gloss, the colour that I have receive is just not for me, I can't get away with wearing a shade like this which is a bit of a shame. Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick (RRP £7.99, full size received), nice item to include it's just not for me.
The final item is from a nice brand, I love their packaging! Royal Apothic Body Lotion (RRP £14.50, small tube received) ohhh this is a nice item I only wish that they'd sent a larger size seeing as this is a body lotion and not a hand cream as I initially thought it was. It smells lush and is a really nice body lotion and as I said I love the vintage style packaging.
Overall I think this is a pretty nice box this month, next month I am really looking forward to as Glossybox are collaborating with top beauty blogger Really Ree so hopefully that will be a really good box.
What are your thoughts on the latest Glossybox?
What is a primer? haha. OMG i need help with make-up! I've not worn falsies for ages either. I found this awesome Benefit mascara and it is so good! xx #fartglitter
ReplyDeleteGreat review. I keep going back and forth wondering whether to sign up to one of these but I'm concerned I won't like everything and then feel it was a waste. But on the other hand I am rubbish with make up so this may help! #TriedTested xx
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not a fan of that lipstick colour either, but the palette colour combination looks interesting!

Ooohhh...I like the vintage design of the cream as well. Glossy box look fab. Thanks for sharing. #fartglitter
ReplyDeleteI hear great things about Glossybox, maybe I will treat myself one day! Thanks for linking up with #TriedTested
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't even know what the purpose of half of the things in there is. Now that I'm getting older and contemplating moving to a country where make-up wouldn't immediately be sweated off my face perhaps I need some lessons.
