Glossy Box

I'm not going to go into too much detail about Glossy Box because i'm sure a lot of people have either heard of it or are already subscribed. All you need to know is that for £10 a month ,+PP, once a month, you receive a box of beauty products. These range from the luxury to the high street and from skin care to hair care, from make-up to perfume and more! You normally get 5 products but this can vary depending on what is actually in the box that month. So here's what I thought of the May box...

1. Glossy Box Balloon! The May box was a special birthday box to commemorate Glossy Box's first birthday. 
2. I got too excited opening what was my first Glossy Box and then had to go back and take a picture of it. Oops!
3. The list of products that are in the Glossy box that month. A nice touch to give you a bit of added information which I found very useful. 
4. Noble Isle Bath and Shower Gel. I am yet to try this product yet. Because it's so small I think it will be nice to keep handy as a travel mini...if and when I ever travel. I have heard good things about this brand though and it smells amazing!
5. Lolita Lempicka L'Eau en Blanc sample and Lolita Lempicka Eau de Parfum. I'm so sad that these were only samples and I am very tempted by the full size version. These will be perfect for spring and summer because they have a very light, fresh and girly scent. Not a brand I had heard of before but I will now keep an eye out for in the future.
6. Neal's Yard Re-hydrating Rose Daily Moisture. To be completely honest when I first saw this I didn't know whether to use this on my face or my hands, turns out I prefer it for my face. I also wasn't bowled over by the rose smell but I have got used to it and can over look it because it is a really nice moisturiser. It's not too thick and rich but at the same time you can feel that you have put something on your skin and you feel like it really works. I have very combination skin and I find it doesn't make me too oily but also gets rid of the pesky dry patches. 
7. Collection 2000 Gel Eyeliner. Not a fan. One, I wouldn't wear gold eye liner and two, from a swatch on my hand it has a horrible colour and consistency. Not wanting to be too negative but that found a home in the bin.
8. Eldora False Lashes. I was a bit stunned when I first saw these in the box. They are a lot thicker than I would normally go for as I like more natural fluttery lashes but I'm sure there will be an occasion where I could put them to good use. 
9. A Glossy Box mirror. I like this a lot because I didn't have a hand mirror and it's found a nice place in my bag. 

As you would be waiting for something to come in the post full of luxury beauty goodies I was extremely excited to receive my first ever Glossy Box, especially at the thought of it being the Glossy Box birthday edition. Although I am still utterly in love with the concept I wasn't overly enamored with this specific box. Yes, most of the things I have use for but I didn't think it was anything special. This isn't to say I am disappointed,  I am now just even more excited to see what's in the next box.
