This is only my second GB, so I still get really excited upon receiving it but this months box just didn't wow me! Here's a little sneak peak as to what was inside the beautifully packaged monthly box...
Ooohhh....
Ahhhh...
- Pro beauty brush by Glossy Box. I am actually really please to receive a make-up brush, as I'm currently trying to build up my collection. I'm quite new to make-up brushes, therefore I am fine with the quality of this one. Although I think compared to other make-up brushes this one feels a little coarse (maybe because it's goat hair..? I'm not sure).
- Mini mascara ultra-volume pulp by Yves Rocher France. I am always happy to try out new mascaras, & I think the wand on this one looks amazing. But a sample size mascara...? Really?
- Summer warmth bronzer. This is a great product just in time for the summer! The photo above is heavily swatched, but it actually gives my skin a nice subtle glow.
- Dermablend ultra-corrective foundation cream stick by Vichy. This is quite a nice product in the sense that there are a variety of colours for you to try out which works best on your skin. But, is it just me or does it seem a little bit of a waste, as you'll end up chucking 5 of them away? Anyway, I'm looking forward to trying this out, it looks promising!
- Eau provocateur by Agent Provocateur. I thought this little set was quite nice compared to some of the single vials you usually receive. I can't really explain their fragrances because my allergies have been quite bad meaning, leaving me with no sense of smell. However, my dear mother assures me they smell lovely :) The leaflet describes them as feminine, sensual and tantalizing day fragrances.
I know that I'll use all of the products, but there was just something missing to wow me. I think it might be because the box looked a little empty when I opened it, or maybe because there were no full size products...? Maybe I am just feeling hard to please today, hehe.
Most of you probably already know about the monthly subscription boxes, but if you want to find out more or sign up yourself do so here.
Are any of you guys already signed up to GB? If so, what did you get?

I got the same as you. The mascara just looks a bit pathetic to me but I'll definitely be using it. As for the brush.. I tried it today and was not loving it. X
ReplyDeleteYes ditto, I will use the mascara but it's still a bit mehhh. xx
DeleteI got the same as you and I cancelled my subscription. I got my first box last August, they were great until Christmas and ever since then they have got progressively worse and worse. I'm going to spend my money on one item that I really want rather than getting disappointed. I feel sad that the brush is made from goat hair x
ReplyDeleteOoh really? It's a shame cause the concept is so good. Have you tried any of the other beauty box; such as she said beauty or jolie box? They seem to have a lot less disappointed customers xx
DeleteSorry I didn't see you'd replied! I haven't tried any others, I used to subscribe to Carmine but then GlossyBox bought them out.. It's such a shame, Carmine were really great! I think I'll just put aside my subscription fee each month and save for something amazing =) xx
DeleteI'm not sighed up for any boxes as I kind of think it's a waist of my money if I get a box I'm not fussed on but as one of my 21st birthday presents my mum gave me a box of goodies called mamma mia prezzy box and I have been getting a box of goodies each Monday-I will get 21 in all. I have had some amazing products so far :) when I've had all of them I will do a post of my favourite products

Aww that's such a good idea! I will look out for that post! xx
DeleteI'm glad I cancelled my GB subscription, these products lack the WOW factor. I subscribed to She Said Beauty and LOVE IT :)
ReplyDeleteI think I will cancel GB too once the novelty has worn off xx
DeleteI had similar items except instead of the perfume I had a little 3 step wash box thingie. I am getting disappointed with it now, so might swap to the one you reviewed in another post!

I seem to think that Glossybox was great at the end of last year, but in the past couple of months the quality of their boxes has definitely gone down, I subscribed because it made me excited watching people get things like Burberry, nars and new cid, but I haven't been impressed by what I've received the past 2 months at all,I much prefer the she said beauty box, but I think I might have to try out joliebox too... :)

I've only had two GB boxes so far. I do get excited receiving them & I think the concept is great, but yeah I agree the older boxes look better quality! I have my fingers crossed that they'll step up their game!! xx
