Glossybox #4 - March 2012


The March Glossybox is also a Limited Edition one in a sleek white box. When I heard it would be a Harrods mystery box, I was expecting some different more luxury products than I have received before. I just find it funny that nearly every month I’ve been subscribed it is always a Limited Edition box, I’m not complaining though, the boxes come in different pretty colours. On the whole this box DISSAPOINTED me!

Here is what I got.
1.    Versace Vanita’s Perfume (4.5ml Sample Size)
It smells quite nice and you can definitely smell the soft flowery notes and a spicy hint of lime. It is described as “A luxurious scent of rich and voluptuous fragrance with notes of tiare flower, lime and freesia”.

2.    bliss Blood Orange & White Pepper Body Butter (50ml Size)
I don’t really like the scent of orange but blood orange is quite different and actually pleasant, especially mixed with white pepper. It is described as being “deeply moisturising, skin softening, naturally rejuvenating body butter in mouth-watering blood orange and white pepper”.

3.    Révive Intense Crème Lustre SPF30   (7ml Sample Size)
I haven’t tried this yet because I wasn’t sure what it was at first, but it is a moisturiser so I will try it soon, although it’s not really marketed at me because it’s for saggy and wrinkly skin (I’m only 18!). It is described as “intense, firming moisturiser that helps to reduce the appearance of sagging skin”.

4.    Lancôme Juicy Tube in Toffee (7ml Sample Size)
It seems like a nice colour, but there is way too much glitter in it so I cannot wear it. Plus I don’t like the smell of toffee and it is really sticky. It is just described as an “ultra-shiny hydrating lipgloss”.
5.    Clarins Extra Firming Body Cream (30ml Sample Size)
I haven’t used it yet and I don’t think I will because it is aimed at saggy and wrinkly skin and I am a bit young to worry about that. It is described as “a formula rich in regenerating and firming plant extracts which restore the skins youthful density and elasticity”.

In the box you also received a Harrods Age-Defying Skincare booklet.

KALEIDOS Space Age Highlighters #2

When I first heard that KALEIDOS was releasing a new Space Age highlighter, I knew I would be getting it! They have also updated the packaging of all of the highlighter tins and they reformulated Mars Melter. They were re-stocking all of the highlighters on Monday 9 th November 8pm PST, so that was Tuesday 10 th November 4am for me! I stayed up waiting for the website to be live and I finally got my hands on Sky Walker and I also picked up the reformulated Mars Melter and the new Space Age Prophecy of course! There was also a sale on the whole site, I got Mars Melter and Sky Walker for $10.50 (RRP $14.00) each and The Space Age Prophecy for $27.00 (RRP $36.00). I am really surprised they offered a discount for the newest highlighter as it was also the launch date for it and there is only a limited quantity available of this highlighter every week. I was very lucky; I got on the site at 4:01am and was checked out and paid up by 4:03am! I paid $8.00 shipping and my order came to $56.00...
