GLOSSYBOX: August 2012

GLOSSYBOX: AUGUST 2012






I actually wasn't planning on subscribing for this box. but I was too late to unsubscribe.
Sorry but I dont think a review for this box is even worth it. I was so dissapointed.

Oil Cleanser - I have a Combination/Oily skin and I don't want to use that.
Base Coat for nails - I just bought a new one yesterday. 
Lipstick (glossybox) - Don't like the smell and the colour.
Nail adheseves? - I dont use those. Doesnt fit my nails.
Lipcote - Dried out my lips.
Eyeshadow - Crap.

I was just so dissapointed with this. I mean they could do better. this box is far by the least fav (not even a fav.) out of all the boxes I had in the past.

I think i'm being too harsh but thats the truth. I understand that this box was supposed to be their "International box" but how could they give these? I know there's alot of amazing products internationally but why give us the not so good ones :(.

I gave it to my sister.
good thing she liked it; will not go to waste. :)

GLOSSYBOX: July 2012

Looking for reviews for Glossybox July 2012?
Still waiting? well.. here it is! :)
visit! : www.glossybox.co.uk
these are just my opinion guys. :)

The usual Glossybox Box :)



The usual 'whats inside the box' paper. :)


Anddd here it is :) 

=============================================================


BEX LONDON
Londoner Urban Fragrance
♥ Thanks to glossybox I have sooo many sample fragrance just like this. wonder if they would really give us the full size next time.
♥  Not really fond of the smell it has a musk-y smell. all I can say. :D
♥ goshh. the full size is expensive! £81.00/100ml



PAUL MICHELL
Awapuhi Moisture Mist 100ml
♥ It says you could use it for your hair & skin to give moisture and helps you feel refreshed all day long.
♥ well.. I dont use anything or any brand that I dont know and just slap it on my face. no way. so I just tried it on my hair. 
♥ and I thinkk... it was okay(?) the smell.. well there was no smell or anything. 
♥ the consistency is water/watery like. no gel no oil.
♥ did it soften/smooth the hair? no.
guess it just hydrates. nothing else. guess thats why they call it moisture mist :D
♥ Price: £9.35/300ml



JELLY PONG PONG COSMETICS (cute name)
Lip Frosting 15ml
♥ Says that it is a multifunctional cream gloss that you can use it as a gloss for lips for a tint of colour or cheeks for a luminous glow.
♥ as you can see from the picture below I applied it on my hands first just to know what it will look like before applying it anywhere.
first I thought 'oooh pigmented' but after I blended it out fortunately I was like 'nvm' :D
♥ so it is sticky. but not too sticky.
tried it on my lips and didnt like it. didnt gave any moisture instead it just sits there.
♥ although the smeeeell is heavenly! love the smell.
♥ ohh and no way im applying it on my cheeks! 
♥ Price: £10.00/15ml - ooh I got the full size!




can you see, can you see? no?


NUXE
Huile Prodigieuse (whatever that means. I think its a good thing. :)
♥ Again it says you can apply this dry oil to your face, body and hair. and again, no im not putting this on my face T_T
♥ Its all written in french. (cant read french. sorry :D)
♥ It says that it nourishes, repairs and softens! - what I definitely need for my hair! guess thats good! 
♥ oooh the smell is heavenly aswell!
♥ the consistency is not thick. its a dry oil so I guess thats why its watery like :)
♥ I love using oils for my hair; this is good! :)
♥ Price: £17.50/50ml





MONU
Night Renewal Complex 20ml
♥ It claims that it has a rich complex of actives to help smooth and firm the skin whilst you sleep.
♥ This is the second Monu product that I have and both came from Glossybox. 1st one was a Day Cream and I thought it was okay.
♥ I definitely needed to change my moisturizer at night and this is good.
♥ as for consistency, just like the day cream one. it is thick but once you work it on the skin, its vey smooth and easy to apply. It absorbs into the skin very well shown below.
♥ the smell is again just like the other Monu I have. Light smell; good for those who doesnt like strong smell with their products.
♥ I have yet to try this so thats all for now.
♥ Price: £36.95/50ml




=============================================================


There you go!



one more thing. Glossybox is so nice to give a BONUS PRODUCT! yay!
Elizabeth Arden's Visible Skin Balancing line
♥ works to skin looking revitalized and healthy. 
♥ it has cleanser, serum and a balancing lotion SPF15 :D
and also if you bring the 'whats inside the box' paper to any Debenhams Elizabeth Arden counter you recieve a FREE DELUXE SAMPLE! niceee!
better get that tomorrow! :)


Thank you for visiting my Blog!!
Until next time!

Love,
Criselda ♥

  GLOSSY BOX Beauty - June 2012

Definitely BETTER than their Anniversary Box.


GlossyBox June 2012


GLOSSY BOX BEAUTY BRUSH - RRP £15.00
 I don't like this. Not soft. poor quality. 




------

YVES ROCHER FRANCE - Fullsize £16.99

This Claims to plump/volumize my lashes. Didn't see any volume, but it did made my lashes look a little bit longer.


-------

CLEAN START BY DERMALOGICA - Fullsize £12.00


hmm.. It was alright. the Purifying Toner has a strong smell. smells like.. Sampaguita? verrry strong sampaguita :D It doesn't bother me.



The Moisturizer is good. I like how my skin easily absorbs the product. very smooth and soft consistency. It has a bubblegum scent.
It also has SPF15!!!
-----------

BM BEAUTY SUMMER WARMTH BRONZER - Fullsize £8.00






I like this! very pretty! though I don't really like to use bronzer. very soft and pigmented. as you can see the pictures above, it has a illuminating effect! prettttty! :D I have to say.. the container is very MESSY! it was all over my box :'(

----------

VICHY ULTRA-CORRECTIVE FOUNDATION CREAM STICK - Fullsize £19.00





Ooooohhhhh!!!!! I love this!! Its soft and very pigmented! covers my dark circles very well! amazing! Im not sure about it getting dry because of the packaging. but its okay. expensive though.

Overall: I LOVE THIS BOX! LOVE IT!! Skin Care with Make-up is looovee!!

Glossybox: May 2012 - My Thoughts

ANNIVERSARY BOX

didnt like it, didnt love it, im dissapointed.

I read some comments about this box and people were also complaining.
Okay so the box itself, the presentation with the balloon and the double sided mirror as the 'Birthday gift' was good.

but then again, the products.. I was expecting more on this box because its their birthday/anniv box.
and people were complaining about..
'My first box and it was pretty disppointing to be honest'
' Guys, you're not giving people value for money here.'
'Nothing luxury about it, rather disappointing!'
'Yellow eye liner! Bleughhh'
'Yet again my profile was ignored'
'trashy not glamorous and luxurious. Unsubscribing.'
'The Perfume was a joke, it was half full..'
'Terrible!'
'unsubscribing'
'I cancelled my subscribition.'
and the list go on and on and on and on..............


 I really wanted to love this box.. im trying but no.
everybody was dissapointed and unsubscribing and I can see the reasons why.



May Glossybox

Anniversary box








Noble Isle

Noble Isle Summer Rising Bath & Shower Gel
An immaculate fragrance evoking the beginnings of summer (smells like a baby cologne to me). Noble Isle is a new British bath & body brand inspired by the natural and cultural riches of the British Isles.




Lolita Lempicka Eau de Parfum

Si Lolita Eau de Parfum
Discover Lolita Lempicka's feminine world where Parisian chic meets fantasy fairy tale to create the perfect fragrace.
(These perfume samples were barely half full which were one of the complaints for this box.)



Apivita Express Beauty Masks
The Apivita express beauty masks exclude synthetic ingredients and replaces water with green tea (ooh! I love green tea!) infusion to enhance the antioxidant action.




OSMO Ber ber Oil Hair Treatment
(In this box, this is the only thing im excited to use. Im a sucker for hair products!) 
A luxurious revolutionary treatment for all hair types, providing transformational results.(we'll see.
It also has Argan Oil that is popular for hair treatments and hair products.) (EDIT 19june12: This is the only thing I liked out of this box.)







Ardola Lashes

Ardola Lashes - H141

Ardola False Eyelashes
Ardola is about beautiful, quality, and value prices lashes for any occasion.
(I dont really weat lashes but I would love to try one, but this particular lashes is a no no. Its too dramatic for me. It would have been better if I was given a more natural ones. Its cheap compared to other lashes £3.90 buttt it is also cheap looking hand has a cheap feeling to it. I read that some people even got diamonds on the lashes glad didnt got that one.)



cute balloon

Happy 1st Glossybox

Gift from Glossybox

double-sided mirror

youll see why I didnt like this if I took the balloon and the mirror off.






I didnt like this box but im still going to hope that they will make up for it next month. and if not. I too might unsubscribe.

but still.. I love Glossybox. (but not this box) lol
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GLOSSYBOX! 

Love,
Criselda
