Latest In Beauty Box: The Glamour Beauty Edit

Here with a review today of a non glossy beauty box for once! As soon as I seen the products in this box for such a good price I knew I had to get it!

I'm not going into detail with the products as everyone receives the same and they're pretty self-explanatory.

I was very excited about the HD Brows palette which I already own but getting a new one for free was too good to resist. I would have loved to get the lighter Bombshell palette to use on fairer eyebrows but Foxy will do for me! I also own the big benefit mascara but a baby one is always handy and will fit nicely in my handbag.

I was happy to receive the maybelline baby lips balm as I've been wanting to try that since forever! I got a lovely cherry colour which smells of cherries (duh) and leaves a very slight red tint to the lips.

I also love the brand balance me; I already own their eye cream and use it religiously. I've recently really gotten into using oils to remove my makeup so their Radiance Face Oil will certainly be getting used with its handy rollerball bottle too!

I love eyelash curlers even though I don't use them every day. The Eyeko ones in this box are very high quality with velvet handles. I've accumulated quite a few pairs from various boxes lately so I'll definitely be trying these out.

Less excited about the hair products but I was needing a new hairspray so I'll give the Toni&Guy one a go and Dry shampoo spray is always a winner as well!

Cost: £14.95 plus shipping
Value: over £60?

Verdict: A great box with a lot of my favourite products. Worth getting even just for the replenishment value of some items.

Glossybox for Net-A-Porter Limited Edition Box - November 2013

Sorry for my absence and to make up for that, I'm reviewing the newest limited edition box from Glossybox. It cost £20 plus £5 shipping and comes direct from net-a-porter.

We have some super luxurious packaging from n-a-p with a cute little measuring tape freebie and lots of bubble wrapped plastic packages inside to keep everything safe. As much as this was 'that bit extra' it did seem a bit wasteful.

The first product was the Philip B Beach Mist which retails for £22 on the website, right away giving us the value of the box. A review on this product is to come!

Next was the roll on perfume from Joya. This has a very strong and distinct scent which is not my cup of tea. 

Next is the ila Bath Salts for Inner Peace. A full jar of these retail for about £70 which is slightly crazy for bath salts so I was glad to get a very decent sized sample. Looking forward to my next bubble bath!

Next is my favourite product and the reason I bought this box. This retails at £20 on the n-a-p website which lifts this box's value even higher. 

The bullet shape of the mascara is very distinctive and I like it a lot. Review to come after a week or two of testing.

Next up is the Natura Bisse Diamond White brightening cream. The full size of this cream also retails at a much higher value than the cost of this box. I'm excited to try it but will probably pass it on to my mum.

Lastly, we have the Elizabeth Arden Prevage Anti-aging Daily Serum. This is another product I will pass on to my mother who rejoices when any of my glossy boxes contain anti aging products. I will be sure to update you guys on any improvements she sees.

Overall, I felt this was a good limited edition box. I like that all the boxes are the same, with everyone receiving the same 6 products. It takes away from the surprise element but seems fairer. Thumbs up!
