My Glossy Glossybox

How Glossy Was Your Box?!

I have decided to look in to subscription boxes recently. I like the idea of being able to try multiple products from different companies, that I might otherwise not notice or be able to buy in England.



This month I went for Glossybox.. Let's see the goodies!


How gorgeous is this box?!

Firstly, Glossybox are always packaged beautifully! The box this
was themed "Stars and Stripes" for the 4th July celebrations in America!

Opening the box you have a number of cards, one will have a list explaining what is in your box and how much the full size product retails for, again the inside packaging matches the stars and stripes theme, wrapped up with a ribbon the blue paper is wrapped around the products...

Inside the box, the first thing that jumped out  at me is the lovely
and ever useful Carmex lipbalm. It has a minty feel when applied to the lips...


There was a full size nail varnish in the box from Color Club. The colour was not for me but the formula is out of this world! I am definitely going to track down some more of these nail polishes!

I had a perfecting eye shadow primer, which after using a few times does seem a very good product, and a Bella Pierre lipstick... This lipstick is *beautiful* the colour is a bright orange with a slight shimmer, the formula is stunning, rich and creamy, seems like this brand is well worth investigating!

Now then...

 As you may already know, we do not have Tarte here in the UK yet... although a few products are coming through via QVC.
In my Glossybox however, I received a sample size of the very highly recommended Lights, Camera, Lashes mascara...

I was so very very excited!

But... on application this mascara didn't live up to its expectations.. It didn't hold a curl, my lashes look rather sad and dropped after a few hours. I will be giving it a fair try and will use it until I finish the tube, but I was surprised...

Overall I really loved the box, even if the mascara wasn't everything I had dreamed of and more (ha!) I loved being able to try the product out, because that is after all, what this is all about!! I will definitely be staying subscribed!

Do you like this mascara? Do you receive any subscription boxes? I cannot wait for my August Glossybox, I also have a rather unusual subscription box for next month... that I am very eager to show you!

Looking forward to it.. See you soon!
