Glossybox - Eco Box

I got my second Glossybox on the same day as my May She Said Beauty Box, my postman may think I have a beauty box addiction.....



Was really lucky and got a different box than my first box



Caudalie Serum, I think this is in all the versions of the boxes.  I have tried this and its lovely so I'm pleased to get another sample.


Philip B styling gel - not something that I would use, will pass this onto my son.


Again I think this is in all the boxes, I got a different scent this time.  These are ideal for chucking in your handbag and they do make your lips super smooth.


Monu Rosewood Reviving Mist - I prefer this to the collagen cream I got in the first box.  It says you can use it to fix your make-up and I don't have another product like this so I'm looking forward to trying it out. 



Inika lip liner in Nude Delight - a nice soft highly pigmented product but its really not my colour.  I might try it as an eyeliner!

Do you think this box is better than the first one? Did you get anything different?

She Said Beauty - May Box



She Said Beauty May box, arrived on my doorstep on Friday. I thought it was late this month but looking back I received my April box on 3rd April so I don't know why I thought it was late!






Kim Kardashian perfume - 3ml sample.  A good sample size as most other perfumes we have had are 1-2ml. It has a rollerball for application, which is again a nice touch. It smells quite fruity to me and I couldn't work out what it reminds me of, but when my friends came round on Friday night I was showing them the goodies in the box and we all agree it smells just like The Body Shop Dewberry perfume! Takes me back to my teenage years! I'll use this sample up but I wouldn't purchase it as its far too sweet for me.


The Vintage Cosmetic Company false lashes, I got these in Betty.  I love the packaging and I really like the style but we keep getting lashes all the time in the boxes and I now have a drawer full! Maybe I should start wearing them to work...


Green People SPF15 with Tan Accelerator.  I am off on my holidays in a few weeks so will take this with me to try, it claims to speed up your tan by 25%.  Its only a 20ml sample so it may do one leg!


Natio Soap - I've never heard of this brand and I cannot remember the last time I bought a bar of soap! Its a huge bar and will last for ages.  It contains all natural Indian Attar perfumes, with mind calming and mood enhancing scents used during yoga.  I won't be able to tell you what its like as Vicki snaffled it! 



Inika - Vegan lip whip in Apricot.  This smells gorgeous! Like Terrys chocolate orange.  Its not a shade that I would have chosen myself but may go nicely with my holiday tan!


Bonus item - Snowberry 3 samples.  I got smoothing eye serum, cellular regeneration night cream and nourishing lite day cream.  I'll give these a try but I don't think you can judge whether or not you like a product from a 3ml sample.  I'd much rather have had a bigger sample of just one product.


I like the fact the everyone gets the same in this box and that the only variation is the colour/scent of the products.  

Did you get this months box?  What did you think?

Glossybox - April

Got home to a lovely surprise today, my April Glossybox. Was a little confused as to what I had been buying (erm this does happen a bit more than it should do!) and didn't realise it was my Glossybox as this month it came in a plain brown box, rather than the usual patterned box.

The actual Glossybox box this month is made from 100% biodegradeable material and is filled with ethical goodies.





I have been really good this month and avoided all spoilers so I was really excited to see what was inside....


Wowzers! Thats a full box!




Caudalie Vinosource SOS Thirst-Quenching Serum - a newly launched ultra concentrated serum.  This is a 10ml sample and 30ml retails at £29.00, making this sample worth £9.67



Inika Cosmetics Organic Eyeliner in Peacock Blue - wasn't too excited by the shade name as I have quite a few blue eyeliners but this is really different than anything I own and its a really gorgeous shade of blue.  This is a full size product and retails at £11.75



Monu Collagen Cream - I have tried a few products from Monu and not been overly impressed.  This is for dry/very dry/dehydrated skin I have combination skin and I think this might be a bit too heavy for me.  I do have dry shins though so may use it on those! Or pass it on to my Mum ;) Another full size product and this retails at £17.50



Figs and Rouge Lip Balm - I got one of these in another beauty box which I really liked.  This is a different scent/flavour and I love cherries so really pleased with this. Another(!) full size product retailing at £3.29



Burts Bees Milk and Honey body lotion - will add this to my pile of body lotions! Its sealed which is good as I know it won't go off while its waiting to be used up. This is a 70g tube and the full size retails at £9.99, making this sample worth £3.68 


I really like this box, I will use everything in the box - will give the Monu a go, it says on the back of the tube it smooths fine lines and I need all the help I can get!  

Can't believe the contents total £45.89! 

I have a second box on the way, looking forward to seeing whats inside.

Have you had your box yet? Did you get different items that I got?
