I came home today and was greeted by my January Glossybox (always a nice treat after a day of work!) and could not wait to delve in and see what goodies had arrived this month! I was even more eager as I'm used to receiving my box no later than the 10th-11th of each month. So I had been waiting anxiously for it. The box was only dispatched yesterday, so was delivered quickly.
The outside packaging was the same as usual, so I wasn't expecting any surprises.
However, when I opened it, I was greeted with a much shinier (some may say glossier....) Glossybox! Imprinted on the top was the well known logo and name, which is also new. By this point I was very excited and had high hopes!! Eeek!
After unwrapping the tissue paper I was disappointed with what lay in the box. None of the items seemed to pop out at me and automatically I classed it as one of the worst boxes I've received. :(
The first item was from the brand Anatomicals. I've had products from this brand before, which I've got as gifts from friends. The brand always has witty descriptions to keep you amused, but from my experience, they have just been average products once you see past the appealing packaging. Each 'Puffy the eye bag slayer' packet consists of 2 gel strips which are applied under the eyes for 30 minutes to revitalise this area and reducing the appearance of fine lines. This product is the one that I look most forward to trying out.
Full size: £6.00 for 3 pack
Sample size: 2 (worth £4.00)
This product smelt gorgeous, a blend of juniper, geranium and lavender essential oils and has a rich and thick consistency which looks like it would keep the scent clinging to your body after use. Perfect!
Full size: £10.25 for 250ml
Sample size: 50ml (worth £2.05)
Vaseline: Essential Moisture Lotion
A non greasy moisturiser to use for everyday use and the flip opening will make it easy to use. But not what I expect from Glossybox as it's neither new or exciting.
Product size: £4.99 for 400ml
Sample size: 50 ml (worth 62p)
Yu-Be: Moisturising Skin Cream
This product was the most disappointing. 2 tiny sample products from an unknown Japanese brand. I don't see myself getting me much usage out of this product!
Product size: £13.50 for 33g
Sample size: 2x 3g (worth 80p)
The Vintage Cosmentic Company: Florak Slanted Tweezers
These super cute tweezers will be a great add to my collection (as I'm always loosing them...Is it just me?!) And I much prefer slanted tweezers than straight or pointed ones.
Product size: £8.00
Full size given (worth £8.00)
The total with of the box was £15.47, which isn't great seeing as the subscription is £10 (not including p&p).
Let's hope February's Glossybox is better!
What did you get in your Glossybox?
Which product would you be excited to receive?
Bye lovelies, until next time. Stay happy, healthy and appreciative of life :) xxx
