I have been looking forward to receiving
this box, not because of sneak peeks (I actually haven't seen any) it’s because I
used my Glossydots to purchase it. It can take ages to save the points, plus I
don’t really like doing the reviews, but it is worth it to get a ‘free’ box
once in a while. Here is what I got this month:-
LUXIE Rose Gold Large Angled Face Brush (504)
| Full
Size |
This is a lovely looking
brush and the bristles are so soft. I am looking forward to giving it ago. I
will most likely use it for bronzer or maybe highlighter.

£10.42 ---
OLAY Regenerist Skin Tone Perfecting Cream
| 7ml
- Sample |
This is a cute little sample
and it smells really nice.
---
£29.99 - 50ml ---
Hey Honey Good Morning Honey Silk Facial Serum
| 15ml
- Sample |
I’ve not heard of this brand
before and the packaging is nice. You have to cut the top of the applicator to
open it, which will keep the product nice and fresh until you want to start
using it.
---
£28.81 - 30ml ---
-417 Catharsis Vitamin Mineral Shampoo & Conditioner
| 40ml
- Samples |
I’ve not heard of this brand
before either and both samples smell really nice. They do sound quite
interesting and would be good to test whilst travelling.

£16.89 - 250ml ---
COLLECTION Speedy Highlighter in Pearl Sheen (01)
| 5g
- Full Size |
This product smells odd and
I do like the idea behind it. I think the shade is slight too light and neutral
for me, it doesn’t really show up on my skin when swatched. Plus I don’t think
the texture is creamy enough to apply over foundation and powders. I suppose I
will have to give it ago to find out.

£3.99 ---
I have been gradually unsubscribing from
beauty boxes and have now decided that this will be my last Glossybox, for a
while anyway. I love receiving them, but I receive a range of products and the
majority of them don’t get used. I feel like that in every beauty box post, I
say I don’t like certain products; lipglosses, lip balms, all hair products,
body products (lotions, creams etc), face products (creams, foundation samples
etc), and these are the types of products that are always included in all types
of beauty boxes. I’m basically subscribed on the off chance that I might
receive a good make-up product (mascara, pink lipstick, eyeliner etc) or
perfume samples. If you add up what I have had and what I’ve actually kept/use,
it is a complete waste of money! This isn’t the company’s fault, it’s mine
because I am a make-up and perfume junkie and all other products just don’t
interest me, plus I can be quite picky with what I will use. I feel like I’m
just paying for items I don’t want, just to store them a while and then throw
them away, I may as well just burn the £13.25 a month! I’m not saying I won’t
subscribe again, but I think a rolling subscription is just feeding my bad
habit and is not helping. I think in future if I see an interesting box, I
might just buy that one-off box and then maybe I will appreciate it more.
Anyway, enough with the negatives this
box was quite interesting this month apart from the obvious problem products. I
really like the look of the brush and I would say that this is the star product
of the box, plus every subscriber got one of these in their box this month. I
have seen other boxes that received a Too Faced Melted Lipstick, so I am a
little sad that I didn’t get one, but I am a little scared of the swatches I’ve
seen of them, so if I did get one, knowing my luck it would have been a bright
red or purple shade!
Sneak
Peek!
The teaser for April’s box is that
everyone will receive a The Body Shop Oils of Life Facial Oil.
What are your thoughts on
this box?
