Glossybox October 2012
The theme for Octobers Glossybox* is DIY beauty to create a home spa. Now looking at the selection of products I got, I don't get the theme. To me these are what you'd use on an everyday basis. If I was going to create my own DIY spa box I'd include something like a bath oil, maybe a relaxing scented candle, face mask or bubble bath. Glossyboxes have been quite good up until this one, I'm quite disappointed with it.Dermalogica Clean Start Day/night 3 Step Mini Kit - This mini kit contains a face wash, toner and moisturiser. All three products are great sizes to try out but this kit really isn't suited to my dry, sensitive skin type.
Anatomicals Body Scrub - I always like trying out new body scrubs to will be trying this out tonight. Again it's another great size and smells like pink grapefruit which I love.
Skinetica Anti-blemish - Again this is another one that just isn't suited to my skin type. Just from reading the ingredients I can see how my skin will react.
Yves Rocher Lipstick In Mauve - This looks a lovely colour especially for Autumn and Winter. It feels really creamy and nicely pigmented. Finally a lipstick from a beauty box I actually like. I always seem to get horrible colours but this one is a great change.
What did you get in your box?
Glossy box's are always so controversial. I've stopped mine but sometimes I see a really good box and want it. I'm not so keen on this one tho x
ReplyDeleteI know! It doesn't help that they send out different boxes. If I got the version with the Sally Hansen nail polish I would have been happier with it :) xx
DeleteGlossybox really need to start taking people's beauty profiles into consideration - why send so many anti-blemish products to those with dry skin?! I don't subscribe because of all the mixed reviews that I always seem to read x
ReplyDeleteI know! Or at least send products that aren't skin type specific :) xx
DeleteDoes seem like a bit of a weird themed box! I do like the colour of that lippie though x

I really like the colour, perfect for autumn :) xx
DeleteI cancelled my GB subscription last month & I am quite glad I did. This months box looks a little disappointing. I will just buy the samples I like the look of from Ebay Save myself some money.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to carry on with it, they'll always be some boxes that are rubbish but hopefully the better ones will even it out :) xx
DeleteYou should try 'shesaidbeauty' boxes, they give a better variety and are a pound cheaper! latestinbeauty.com also have great samples to buy.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of trying shesaidbeauty but I'm going to stick with Joliebox (which I pay for) and glossybox (which I am sent) for now. I feel like SSB and glossybox are quite similar in the products they include :) xx
