Glossybox #23 - December 2018

It is not long now until New Year and as you can see from the title, I have reactivated my Glossybox subscription, AGAIN! My last box was September 2016. I got this box for £7.00 as there was a ‘first box’ discount offer and the postage was £3.25. I couldn’t get the Christmas ‘All That Glitters’ box, so I was sent this one instead. The sticker on the side of the box said this was the ‘Glossy V11 Dec 18’ box. The products I received are:-

WET ONES BE FRESH WIPES
I have seen these wipes before in supermarkets and they are just usual wet wipes. I suppose they come in handy, especially if you carry them in your bag.
| 12 Wipes - £1.15 |

LUNA BY LUNA TRANSLUCENT POWDER
I’ve never heard of this brand before and I have only ever tried one translucent loose powder before and I didn’t see what the fuss was about. I will give this one a go though because it is white based and I think the last one I tried was more skin tone based in colour.
| 5g - $22.00 |

GARNIER ULTIMATE BLENDS HONEY TREASURES HAIR MASK
I’m not really into hair products, but I think I might give this one a go. This is a 20ml sample size of the full sized product.
| 300ml - £4.99 |

BELLÁ PIERRE SHIMMER ROLL IN CHAMPAGNE
I have seen this product before and it doesn’t really interest me at all. I think my Mum received one in a Birchbox not long back. It is a shimmery champagne shade.
| 2g - £14.99 |

NIKO PRO LIQUID JELLY BLUSHER IN BALI
I have never heard of this brand before either and this product looks weird. It has a strange consistency and I would say it is wet in texture and I personally wouldn’t class it as jelly. A little goes a long way because it spreads out quite far. It is an interesting shiny, coral pink shade with gold glitter. I prefer powder blush myself.
| 8g |

DOUCCE RELENTLESS MATTE LIP CRAYON IN WINTERBERRY (405)
I haven’t heard of this brand either and the crayon does look like good quality, but it will require sharpening once you use it. It is a deep red shade and I would say it is pink based. I most likely won’t wear it because it is a little bright and my lipstick formula of choice is now liquid.
| 2.80g - $22.00 |

I didn’t receive a product card in this box and I don’t know whether it was a mistake or not. I’m sure I remember one box brand were going to stop including product cards so it is more environmentally friendly, because you can log onto your box account and see what products you got. It could well be Glossybox that does this now, because it has been a while since I ordered one. The range of products is a lot better than when I was last subscribed, but again there is not much from it that I would keep and use. I think I will stay subscribed for the time being, but I don’t think it will be a lengthy subscription this time. I hope you all have a wonderful and happy New Year! x

Perfume Power! - Soap & Glory™ 'Eau De Soap & Glory'

I bought this because I already had the first Soap & Glory perfume and I really loved the Mist You Madly line scent. The bottle is cuboid shaped and made of opaque black glass. It has a regular perfume spritzer and the cap is clear plastic and T shaped with a pink woollen sash wrapped around the base. On the front of the bottle there is a pink foiled sticker with the Soap & Glory logo. The fragrance notes are:- Bergamot, Cassis, Magnolia, Freesia, Vanilla & Musk This perfume is a strong florally and musky scent. It is quite sweet, but not overpowering. The bottle is also a classic design, so you can re-use as decoration if you peel the sticker off the front. It is the Formula 2 scent, which is what some of Soap & Glory products smell like (The Daily Smooth, Clean Girls, Mist You Madly etc.). I can really smell the bergamot, freesia and musk. It has a sort of masculine smell and does last for a while on your skin. It is a must have if you love the Mist...
