Glossybox uk: November 2013 ♡

Hello sweeties! I know i've been doing a lot of beauty box posts recently - i need to get them all up before the next month comes! Hopefully i'll get to take a break from them soon and post some other stuff for you, including more Tony Moly reviews, my ELF favourites and more! This month i've decided to start including the promo codes from the info card + magazine too as i've noticed Glossy offers a lot of discounts!

The November Glossybox contains products on the Glossy Wishlist and they were definitely a huge improvement on last month's box! There were four full-sized products and one quality sample.

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.

This month i received my box on 11th November and actually received the dispatch e-mail later that day... Weird!
November 2013: The Glossy Wishlist
Box value: £35.59
Vichy Idealia Life Serum
Full size: 30ml for £29.50
Sample size: 3x3ml 
Sample value: £8.85

"Introducing Vichy's first skin idealiser; a unique product that helps transform the appearance of the skin's quality. Help protect your skin from the visible effects of stress, smoke or an unbalanced diet. An all-round skin saviour."

I really loved the presentation of these samples in the organza bag - made a huge change compared to the sticky horrible mess of the Unica sample i got in the last box! I received two life serums + one smoothing and illuminating cream. They both have a similar smooth texture and absorb quickly making them great to use as primers. The illuminating cream gives a slightly pearlier appearance.
Emite Make Up Micronized Eyeshadow - Dams
Full size: 1.48g for £16.80
Sample size: 1.48g (full size)
Sample value: £16.80

"Emite Micronized Eye Shadow is completely free from oil, nickel, parabens and perfume. The pigment is micronized to facilitate application and to create an even and lasting result. Ideal for lens wearers or those with sensitive eyes.

I usually just go for neutral brown tones when it comes to eyeshadow but i've always wanted to try black for a more dramatic look. This eyeshadow is super-fine and fairly pigmented but i still need a couple of layers. It can also be used as an eyeliner with a fine brush. However, it's super-expensive and i couldn't see myself spending that much money on this!
Yves Rocher France Hand Cream
Full size: 75ml for £1.95
Sample size: 75ml (full size)
Sample value: £1.95

"Protect your hands as the temperature falls with Yves Rocher hand cream. With an indulgent scent and an ultra-moisturising formula, your hands will be grateful for this nourishing treat."

Promo Code: http://www.yves-rocher.co.uk/control/main/ - Buy the Yves Rocher Raspberry Home fragrance + Raspberry Sparkling Shower Gel using code GLORASPB and receive a Free Perfumed Shower Gel + Nourishing lip balm + Hand cream! Expires 31 December 2013

This was the best product in the box for me! The cream left my hands really soft and it absorbs quickly. The hand cream smells strongly of the cocoa + raspberry which i love but i wouldn't recommend it to those who don't like very sweet smells. The packaging looks expensive and matches the quality of the product and i was so surprised to find this product only retails at £1.95! Would definitely purchase this again and i'll probably use the promo code too.
B. Quick One Coat Professional Finish Nail Polish
Full size: 8ml for £4.99 
Sample size: 8ml (full size)
Sample value: £4.99

"Want no fuss nails, fast? B. Quick One Coat Professional Finish Nail Polish gives you just that; a smooth, long-lasting and professional finish from just one application."

I received this nail polish in colour 'Mermaid' which is a gorgeous turquoise with a beautiful fine shimmer. I really like this colour but it doesn't suit my skin tone well. When i applied one coat it didn't cover my nail properly and it left streaks. I applied another coat on top but the consistency was incredibly thick. I don't know if i applied it correctly the first time but i probably won't wear this again. >w< 
Elegant Touch Rapid Dry for Nails
Full size: 125ml for £3.00 
Sample size: 125ml (full size)
Sample value: £3.00

"The ultimate cult beauty saviour for busy women on the go. The Elegant Touch Rapid Dry for Nails with added vitamin E dries nail polish in 60 seconds, conditions cuticles and leaves the nails looking incredibly polished."

I was impressed with this product - it really does what it says on the tin! I always get so impatient when i paint my nails + end up smudging them every time. :{ But not anymore! It also makes your cuticles lovely + soft like when they apply cuticle oil at a salon. Great price too!
