January Glossybox

As January always hits my purse strings hard, this month’s Glossybox was a welcome treat and fed my shopping starvation for a day or so.

This month’s box is entitled ‘Back to Basics’, all about new starts and rejuvenating yourself after the tough Christmas period. Here’s what I got in my box this month.

Yu-Be - Moisturising Skin Cream

The sample of this was quite small, so I was grateful to get a couple in the box to try it out properly.  This moisturiser hails from Japan and promises wonders to revamp tired and rundown skin. I certainly hope it works for me!

Balance Me - Super Toning Body Wash

I am working my way through so many body washes at the moment, and I must admit the initial smell of this doesn’t encourage me to try it straight away. It smells very herbal, which some people are a fan of, whereas I prefer floral scents. I think I’m going to try adding this to my bath for a relaxing silk effect instead.

The Vintage Cosmetic Company – Floral Slanted Tweezers

I was a little excited to see these even though I don’t use tweezers all that often (my eyebrows are surprisingly tame), but I like the idea of using pretty floral ones when I do. And as these are full size and not a mini version, they make a great addition to the box.

Anatomicals – Puffy The Eye Bag Slayer Wake-Up Under Eye Patches

These couldn’t have arrived at a better time! I’m feeling extra run down and tired at the moment, so to look bright eyed, bushy tailed and less like the walking dead definitely sounds appealing to me. The name is great as well; Anatomicals quirky image and intelligent branding definitely attracts me to their products.

Vaseline – Essential Moisture Lotion

This isn’t a new product to me, but always a delight to see. I’ve used Vaseline’s moisturisers and other products for years now and can’t knock ‘em. My most recent fave is the Spray & Go moisturiser they released, if you’d like to read my full review, you can do so here. 

So that's it for this months glossy. What did you all get?

July Glossybox

I am in love with this month’s Glossybox. Firstly the packaging this month is amazing! It’s based around a sea/beach theme and I’m a bit of a sucker for anything beach themed, so love this.

The products inside follow the same theme, and considering the gorgeous weather we’ve been having in England recently, this is the perfect box for this month.

Ciate London - Paint Pot

I’ve wanted one of these nail polishes for ages now, so was so happy to see this in the box. Over anything else the packaging is just so pretty, and looks lovely sat on your dressing table. I got the shade ‘Pocket Money’ which is a gorgeous nude/dusty pink colour. Can’t wait to try this.

Anatomicals - Spray misty for me facial spritz

I love using facial mists and carry one all the time in the summer months (when the weathers behaving itself anyway). It smells really lovely, like lavender with a minty fresh edge. A lovely spritz of this midday certainly left my skin feeling refreshed in the warm weather.

Coola Organic Suncare Collection – Mineral Face SPF 20

Another thing I always carry in the summer is an SPF. Especially protection for your face, I always try and use foundations or BB creams that contain SPF in the summer months. By using this particular face protection you will also benefit from its anti-ageing properties while it smooths and tones your skin. It also promises to reduce your pores and inflammation along the way. This little tube is perfect for popping in your handbag, and will be staying in mine while this weather sticks around. Big hopes for this.

Alterna Haircare – Bamboo Style Boho Waves Tousled Texture Mist

I love using these sprays on my hair in the summer, especially when I’m on holiday. I’ve tried both the Redken and Lush sprays which are great. I find salt sprays so easy to work with and really create those ‘beachy waves’ with minimal effort. I’m so excited to try this product and it’s definitely coming on my next holiday with me.

Pukka Ayurveda – Radiance Serum

Anything that promises to boost your skin and add radiance is worth trying in my opinion. Ive used similar products in the past and not been overly impressed with the results. I’ll definitely be giving this a go, and fingers crossed for a brighter looking complexion.

So that’s it for this months box, and I love all the products I received. I think this may be one of my favourite boxes I’ve ever received, big words, I know! 

What did you all get? I can’t wait to see what products were in the other boxes!
