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.

Glossybox #25 - February 2019

This is my third Glossybox since I re-subscribed last year. It is also the Valentine’s Day themed box. I would say that so far, this box seems to be the one most tailored to my usual interests. I received seven products in this box, technically six because two go hand in hand. HUDA BEAUTY Lip Contour in Venus This lip pencil formula is supposed to be waterproof and transfer-free. It should glide on effortlessly and give your lips an intense shot of colour. You can use it to contour or colour your lips or pair it with a lipstick. Venus is a warm beige nude shade. It glides onto your lips very easy, but it feels a little tacky when you fill your whole lips in with it. I’m not sure how often I would use this seeing as though I have never used lip liner. I prefer liquid lipsticks and I don’t feel the need to line my lips before applying it. | 1.20g - £16.00 | NAILS INC Nail Varnish in Status Ready This nail polish should be long lasting and super glossy. It is a deep che

e.l.f Earth & Ocean Palette

I haven’t purchased anything from e.l.f in the longest time. I happened upon a post of this palette on Instagram and the complimentary comments really peaked my interest in trying it for myself. Palettes I have tried from e.l.f. in the past haven’t been the greatest of quality; I kind of associate the brand as being for children, beginners or natural beauty wearers. I was also interested in the Retro Paradise Palette , but I thought I would get more use out of this one at the moment. THE PACKAGING The packaging is quite simple with a clear/black outlined plastic rectangular shape. The fronting is transparent so that you can see the eyeshadows from the outside of the palette. It has a clip closing, which you push apart to reveal the inside. The square eyeshadow pans are spread out across a black base and the shade names are printed in grey font under each pan. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.94g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Metallic (ME), Glitter (G), Satin (S) and Shimmer

Jeffree Star Cosmetics Jawbreaker Palette

I bought this palette back when it first launched (summer 2019) and I was interested in it so I could experiment more with bright colours. The colour selection definitely doesn’t disappoint and I was expecting it to be the same quality as the Blood Sugar Palette, if not slightly better! The packaging is quite a large rectangular shape and made out of metallic pink cardboard with colourful dots/dashes all over representing a jawbreaker pattern. The name of the palette is in a slightly raised font. It has a magnetic closing which you lift to reveal the twenty-four eyeshadow pans arranged on a white background. The other side is the same pattern as the front cover with a mirror. You can purchase it for £54.00 ($58.00) from JeffreeStarCosmetics.com and BeautyBay.com. You get twenty-four 1.50g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Shimmer (S) and Metallic (ME) finishes.
