Hello! So this my third Glossybox so far + this box has a really cool London theme for London Fashion Week! They also included a small info card + mini magazine with lots of interesting info about trends, hair + models. I know a lot of girls were really impressed by the contents of this box.
Glossybox is a beauty / skincare subscription box where you receive a selection of around five products each month for £10 + £2.95 postage and packaging! Check out their UK site here.
I'm a little bit disappointed with their shipping this time. I received a dispatch e-mail on Monday 9th September but according to my tracking page, the box wasn't picked up until Thursday 12th by Hermes. The courier tried to deliver to my apartment on both Friday + Saturday without leaving any note, even though i was at home. Fair enough the intercom isn't connected to my apartment, but there is a note on the main door specifying that this is the case with some of the apartments. The courier wasn't given my phone number, so i contacted Glossybox about this, but of course their customer service isn't open on the weekends. I ended up resorting to sticking a note on the main door to the courier with my phone number on Monday. When he arrived, he shoved the package at me + left. o__o
Rant over, here's the stuff i got!
Box value: £30.24
Elizabeth Arden: Untold
Full size: 50ml for £48 / 100ml for £69
Sample size: 5ml
Sample value: £4.80
This perfume really is the definition of elegance + smells predominately floral. It is a little bit of a mature smell but still wearable. My boyfriend thinks it would suit 20+ ladies. The mini bottle is a nice touch and it looks great on the dressing table.The sample will last a long time.
Full size: One set for £5.06
Sample size: One set (full size)
Sample value: £5.06
Everyone knows i love my false lashes! I used to wear Eylure all the time so i was really excited to get these in the box. I don't like pre-glued lashes lashes though because they don't last as long but i was willing to give these a try. I was super disappointed though because they aren't nearly as dramatic as i'd like them to be. :{ I will probably give these to my mum.
Full size: 30ml for £7.19
Sample size: 30ml (full size)
Sample value: £7.19
Definitely the best item in the box in my opinion! I enjoy receiving hair stuff in my boxes because i'm very limited in my experience in the hair department + never know what to buy. On an average day, i will use dry shampoo for volume on yesterday's blow-dried hair + i won't use heat appliances except for bad hair days. This product is perfect for me because it controls frizz + gives the hair a healthy shine. It doesn't make my hair greasy - in fact, it feels like i've got no product in my hair at all, which i love!
Be A Bombshell Cosmetics: Onyx Eye Liner
Full size: 3ml for $14
Sample size: 3ml (full size)
Sample value: $14 (approx. £8.70)
I've never heard of this brand before - what do you lovely American readers think about them? I'm really not a fan of felt-tip eyeliners at all and this one hasn't changed my mind about them. However, it does have a strong black colour + it's easy to do a thick or thin line with this one. I'll use this over my false eyelashes to cover the band.
Rimmel: Stay Blushed Blusher 004 Sunkissed Cherry
Full size: 14ml for £4.49
Sample size: 14ml (full size)
Sample value: £4.49
I've never tried liquid blushers before so this was a good product to experiment with. It's a really lovely buildable orange-red colour that will suit a lot of different skin tones. It also gives a natural finish because it's not all powdery. I found it quite hard to apply precisely with my fingers though - I'll have to experiment a bit more!
What do you think about this month's Glossybox? <3
Thank you for reading!
