This is the first Glossybox of the year
and it is the second one I have received since I re-subscribed in December
2018.
AVANT SKINCARE DELUXE HYALURONIC ACID VIVIFYING FACE
& EYE NIGHT CREAM
This is the most expensive
product from the box and it is an anti-ageing moisturiser that is supposed to
be hydrating and rejuvenating. It is also supposed to be smoothing without
adding shine to your skin and it should have a fresh scent. I have actually tested
this and the first time I used it, my skin did look shiny and kind of feel
greasy. The second time I used it, my skin still looked shiny and when I
touched my skin I could tell there was something on it. I don’t think this
means it doesn’t work, I think it just needs a little time to settle on the
skin. I don’t know what it looks like if you apply make-up over the top. My
skin is kind of oily in some place, mostly the t-zone and my cheeks, neck and
nose can be quite dry.

BATISTE RETHINK DRY SHAMPOO IN HYDRATE
This dry shampoo is supposed
to treat your hair as well as refreshing it. It should also been an invisible
formula, which means you won’t be able to see it in your hair. The one I
received should hydrate your hair as it contains avocado. I have used other Batiste
dry shampoos before and it would be my first choice if I needed it. This one
has a nice fresh scent and will come in handy should I find myself in need.

MAYBELLINE DREAM BLENDER FOUNDATION SPONGE
This sponge is latex-free
and should provide you with a smooth finish. You should use the sides of the
sponge to blend your foundation in circular motions across your cheeks and then
in an outward direction on your forehead, nose and chin. You can use the tip of
the sponge for precision around your nose and under your eyes. I have seen this
sponge before in drugstores and thought it looked cute. I don’t use sponges to
apply my foundation because I find it takes me twice as long to apply and then
I still need to go in and use my fingers to smooth it out anyway. I will keep
hold of it though, because it may come in handy some day because it doesn’t
look like your typical blender sponge. You should still be able to clean this
sponge, the way you would with any beauty sponge (soap and water).

HASK REPAIRING DEEP CONDITIONING TREATMENT IM BAMBOO OIL
There are different types of
these treatments and the one I received contains bamboo oil, which is supposed
to strengthen and condition your hair. The sachet can be used more than once,
depending on how much you need to use to cover your hair. I would recommend
sealing the rest in case it dries out inside the open sachet. If you have long
hair like me, you might need to use the whole sachet. You can leave it in your
hair for 5-10 minutes and then rinse it off. I’ve said before that I am not
really into hair products, but sample sachets of hair products may come in
handy should I feel the need to use a mask in my hair. It is better than
receiving a large tube or tub of hair mask that I possibly may not use.

-417 FACIAL MICRO LUFFA FOAMING GEL
You can use this foaming gel
cleanser to exfoliate and remove your make-up. You apply it to damp skin and
then work it in with circular motions. It should leave your skin feeling clean,
soft and fresh. I personally wouldn’t use this product to remove my make-up but
I would use it as a facewash. I find the concept of using it to remove make-up
very strange.

I got a product card with this box! If
you read my last Glossybox post, you will know that I didn’t receive a product
card and I wondered why. I guess they must have forgotten last time. There were
no make-up items in this box, which is a little disappointing, but the products
I received were interesting. I did actually enjoy this box and I think I will
stay subscribed.
The ‘Sneak Peek!’ for February’s box,
teases that everyone should receive a HUDA BEAUTY Lip Contour Pencil in either
‘Flirt’ or ‘Venus’. One shade looks like a nude/brown and the other a red.
