Glamour Beauty Box

Hi ladies :)
I wanted to tell you about the latest beauty box that I've purchased. 
The Glamour Beauty Box is a box similar to the subscription boxes such as Glossybox, however there are 7 products (instead of 5) and you do not need to sign up for a monthly subscription, instead you know which products are inside and can make the decision to purchase it based on that. The box costs £14.95, including p&p but has products that retail over £45! Glamour does a range of these boxes, so you can choose the type you want. 
This is the second Beauty Box I have purchased. The first one was a couple of months ago and I was pleased with the products in that box. My previous box had gold detailing and currently stores my old diaries!
This month there is a special offer, where you can grab yourself a free Stila Lip Glaze with your box to celebrate Mothers Day. 
The box provides an information card about all the products and some voucher codes to get money off some of the brands included (Similar to Glossybox). The packaging is also very similar to Glossybox. 
Invisibobble: This is a new type of hair bobble which claims to leave your hair kink-free. The product reminds me of a slinky and that makes me think of tangled slinkies and that makes me horrified at the thought of getting my hair stuck in it! However, I have tried the hair bobble and even twisted it around to secure my hair like a regular hair band and it does do it's job in keeping my hair up. Although I can't say it is definitely kink-free as my hair is naturally curly and I couldn't tell. It's a nice idea, although I can't really see people making the switch from normal hair ties to these as they are quite garish!
Percy & Reed Abundantly Bouncy Volumising Mousse: I'm always put off when there's hair styling products in these types of boxes, as I know I can't get use out of it, however my little sister is never reluctant to take them off my hands! I do love the cuteness of the packaging though!

Rituals Zensation Organic Rice Milk & Cherry Blossom Foaming Shower Gel Sensation: This foaming shower gel is a great product for a quick wash. It has a gorgeous scent and leaves the skin feeling soft and moisturised. It's a perfect size for travelling too. Cheeky chat me up nail paint (colour- tongue n cheek): This is a new nail polish brand and the colour I received was a coral/red colour. I've tried the polish on and it's great colour for summer. The polish has quite a fat brush which is perfect for quick application although I'm not keen on the packaging as it looks cheap. Burt’s Bees Lip Balm: This lip balm is perfect for keeping your lips moisturised and protected from the ever changing British weather! I've got one of these in my makeup vanity as I always use it before applying my makeup to prep my lips for lipstick and definitely recommend it. I guess this one is going in my makeup bag for on the go!Daniel Sandler Long Lasting Waterproof Eyeliner in Aqua Velvet: When I swatched this eyeliner on my hand it was clear to see it was a creamy formula in a bright blue colour which is perfect for the Summer season approaching us. It'll be great for the waterline as it's waterproof but could also be used to create a statement cat eyeliner look. I can't wait to try it out! L’Oreal Paris Mega Volume Miss Manga Mascara: The main reason I purchased this box was because I wanted to try this mascara. I've heard great reviews on it and wanted to see what all the fuss was about!! The mascara retails in Superdrug for £7.99 by itself. I tried this mascara this morning and loved the result. It thickens, elongates and separates the lashes all at the same time! Definitely one of my favourite mascaras at the moment. :) Stila Lip Glaze (colour- kaleidoscope): This lip gloss will be great for turning a matte lipstick into a glossy finish. It has tiny gold glitters in which will help create a shine for those Summer days. 

Overall I love the products in this box and am glad I purchased it. To purchase your own box, visit the Glamour website.

Bye lovelies, until next time. Stay happy, healthy and appreciative of life :) xxx
