Alrighty, it's pretty obvious what today's topic is going to be about.. Glossy Box! I've heard loads of good things about them, but didn't subscribe to them until last month. The reason why I didn't write about them on the first box I got is I wanted to make sure I like it enough to consider ordering another one. I want it to be like a continuous thing.
So here is my April Glossy Box
The box was a special edition designed by the lovely Pearl Lowe.
I was one of the lucky people who got this gorgeous eye/lip liner by Illamasqua. The color came off as a bright barbie pink with purple undertone, almost like the Nicki Minaj for MAC lipstick.
This is a hand-cream by Crabtree & Evelyn, it is rich in macadamia nut oil, shea butter and antioxidant-rich vitamins C and E, this indulent cream. It claims to restore dry skin while leaving a subtle aroma. I'm not crazy about this product. The consistency is quite thick so you just need a little bit. It does moisturise my skin, there's nothing 'odd' or different from the other hand creams that I've used before.
I also wasn't so keen on the smell when I first put it on, but after awhile it turned into this soft sweet scent which I was happy about. It's a nice product, doesn't make me want to go out and purchase another one though.
I must apologize, but have never heard of a perfume from Yves Rocher France before. When I saw the perfume box I thought "Oh great, a perfume sample I could get at the counter." but it turned out to be a mini-size. The scent wasn't really my taste, it reminds me of nightclubs and was a bit too strong for me. It supposed to be perfect for the headstrong, passionate woman who embraces change and isn't afraid to reinvent herself. So there you go!
Next is my May Glossy Box that I just got recently. I had high expectations for this month since it's their 2nd Anniversary(Happy birthday!) So let's see what I got here,
First is this little plastic container that's supposed to be super multi-tasking aloe vera gel product. It claims that other than being a primer it can be also be turned cream foundation, blush and eye shadow. What they meant by that is you can mix it with your powder blusher or bronzer to create a cream tint or mix it with your eye shadow to turn it into liquid eyeliner. It's supposed to be one of former Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt's favorites. I have yet to try it on with my foundation, so I will keep you guys updated on how well it works. I also wish the portion was a little bigger than this.
A sample size moisturiser from L'Occitane. I felt so lucky, because it came just at a right time when I needed a new cream. I'm currently using Kiehl's moisturiser and it was really good when I started off, but now I feel like my skin is getting used to it.
This month's box is filled with multi-tasking products, including this one. The Caudalie Divine Oil can be used for your body, face, hair, nails, added to a hot bath, or used as a massage oil. Wow, right? You only need a tiny bit when you use it, so it will lasts you forever! The smell is quite nice as well, I'm very excited to try it out.
This lipgloss is one of the full size products in the box. The color I got is called Raspberry, it's red-ish purple with a little bit of shimmer. I'm not sure the color is right for my complexion or spring time, it does a good job keeping your lips moisturise though.
Fairy Lashes of Jelly Pong Pong. I've never heard of the brand before, but I can say this is my favourite from this box. It makes my lashes long and full and not clumpy at all. I didn't expect it to work better than my They are Real from benefit. Love it!
This a little cute prezzie from Glossy Box, I can keep my nails nice and clean on the go or incase of emergency. Woo!!
