I'm almost a week late on the old Glossybox post aren't I? I know everyone's probably sick of reading them, but I love writing them, I love receiving the boxes and they're always really popular posts so ner :P

| Glossybox - January 2012 - £10 plus £2.95 postage. |
This is Glossybox's second limited edition box and I think I actually prefer this hot pink colour to the normal pale pink boxes! I was really excited to get this month's box but had to wait a little longer than usual as it was sent out a week late.
I completely understand why Glossybox have sent the Valentines box now, but I wouldn't have minded actually receiving it in February, whether it was after Feb 14th or not as it would have actually felt more like a Valentines box to me. That's pretty much the only little niggle I had with the box this month, I actually love the contents of it and I'm so pleased that I scored the box with the Clarins products in it!

I'm really impressed with the contents of this months box. I've been so keen to try the new rebranded EYEKO products, but thought they were a tad too expensive, so haven't purchased any.
The handle of the eyeliner is a little weird, and I think in most cases, probably isn't needed? I'm sure I can apply eyeliner without a huge handle on the pencil, it's probably going to be more of a hindrance rather than a help. I received a lovely Plum shade and I'm so glad I got a dark shade as I wouldn't have been happy with anything else!
As I mentioned above, I'm really happy with the Clarins products and they're a brand I've wanted to try for a long time. I can't wait to start using them and I really hope they work for me and my nuisance skin!
I had no idea that the FAB brand was sold in Boots! I can't wait to try out the body wash and see if it's claims of being 'gentle' really are true. I find a lot of body wash's are too harsh and leave my skin irritated, so this will be a real test!
I have swatched the MURAD Primer but it looks a little dark for my skin. That could be the lighting in my bedroom, so I need to try it out in some good lighting before really deciding. It's a nice little product, and a good size too.
Overall, this months Glossybox is a definite hit! I can see myself using all of the products (MURAD Primer permitting) and I have yet another box to use as storage! Hooray!
What do you think of the Glossybox?
The eyeliner looks really nice but that handle is just scary haha :)

I loved this months box too, I love everything I got in mine x
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it, I'm still toying with the idea of signing up! People seemed to get different colours of that eyeliner , but I rather like the plum you got :)
ReplyDeletei wish i got a darker eyeliner, i got the white one! Not sure how to use it but i will work my magic somehow! x
ReplyDeleteI loved the January Glossybox and I was a bit confused about the eyeliner too, but then I realised that I think it's for when you've used up nearly all of the eyeliner and sharpened it down to a small stub but can still use it because of the extra handle. Great post! xx
ReplyDeleteYou got a great box. The Murad primer is quite deceiving, I thought it was way too dark at first but when I blended it in and put my foundation over the top you couldn't see it, I think it actually did make my skin appear brighter x
