GlossyBox June 2012 'Summer Beauty' Box

 Another month, another GlossyBox. June's box seemed pretty average when it arrived and didn't have the 'wow' factor that previous boxed have had, but the contents are more useful than impressive.

 I received a Dermalogica kit containing a cleanser, toner, and moisturiser. I already have some of their skin care products and they seem to work fine I just wasn't too excited about this product. I prefer another cleanser and have quite a lot of it left so I don't know when I'll get around to using these products!

 I also had a Vichy Dermablend Starter Kit with 6 shades of foundation. None of the shades look pale enough to use on my skin tone but I might try the palest out with some of my other makeup later just to use it up if I need a heavier foundation.

 The GlossyBox Pro Beauty Brush is made out of goat hair for a supersoft application and I use it with my favourite bronzer. 

 The BM Beauty bronzer is really messy and hard to use without getting it everywhere, as it's a loose pigment bronzer it also has a tendency to appear too strong when you apply it. 

 My sample of Yves Rocher France's Mini Mascara- Sexy Pulp claims to give a 'lash plumping result'. Although the mascara gave no volume to my lashes it did give a unique fine and feathery finish and I'm going to use this mascara when I want a more subtle look as it's great for lengthening your lashes.

Overall, the products in this box will be useful but unfortunately they weren't anything special this time! This box certainly made me more inclined to cancel my subscription as I've had enough cleanser samples now.

Glossybox October 2011 'Six Pack' Review

 Another month, another Glossybox. The 6th box had a 6th product but like they say, it's quality not quantity that counts! Here's the October box:

 I received some Dermalogica products, a MultiVitamin Thermafoliant (skin polisher), a MultiVitamin Power Recover Masque, a tiny Renewal Lip Complex (balm) and a beauty bag.

 While the products will surely be useful, the beauty bag is more practical than stylish and I don't think I'll be using it as It's not quite me.

I also got a selection of Robert Piguet perfume samples:

 The (green) perfume called Visa is a little musky but quite sweet, it initially reminded me of a garden center but I'm just weird. The (pink) perfume called Fracas was a bit Grandma-esque but I don't like the smell of lillies. The (red) perfume called Calypso was my favourite, it reminded me of Heat by Beyonce probably because of the amber base.

 I also received a couple of beauty products:

 I love the design of the Leighton Denny Nail polish bottle. Mine was in the shade 'Babydoll' which was unfortunately quite thick when I applied it and streaky. However, I think it looks okay after a second coat. I can't complain as it is priced at £11 and I had the whole box for £10 plus P&P, but I won't be buying that brand of nail polish in a hurry.

 I had a Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof eyeliner in the shade Moray which is a khaki green with a hint of shimmer. It's very similar to the Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in the shade Stash but it's a bit darker. I can confirm Glossybox's claim that it does 'glide on delivering intense, vibrant colour with staying power'. My favourite item in the Glossybox, it is a full sized product which would've cost £13! Here's a closer look:

 Hope you enjoyed my review, let me know if you subscribe to Glossybox too or if you're thinking about it!
