What's in my Glossybox? March 2013

This months Glossybox again caught me off guard, with it sat outside my bedroom door (thanks housemates!) when I go home from my mums about half an hour ago - I couldn't wait to get this up for you! This months box has a 'City Chic' theme, complete with stickers! And actually is a great box, I really think Glossybox have been stepping up their game since Birchbox launched here in the UK. Let the battle continue! 

The Value of this months Box is... ~£21.74




Inside this months box... 
Elizabeth Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant (Fragrance Free)
Juicy Couture - Couture La La Perfume
Jelly Pong Pong Lip Blush 
Nails Inc. - Bruton St. Nail Polish 
Tresemme Salon Finish Extra Hold Hairspray  


Glossybox it is basically a monthly sample subscription for £10 (+p&p), but you can find out more here.






Elizabeth Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant (Fragrance Free)
Price for Fullsize - £25, 50ml 
Value of Glossybox Sample - £3.50, 7ml 
My Thoughts - I was very happy to see this as this product has a ridiculous amount of hype around it and I've yet to try it. However things can now change! 





Juicy Couture - Couture La La Perfume
Price for Fullsize - £63, 100ml 
Value of Glossybox Sample - 95p, 1.5ml. 
My Thoughts - I'm not overly fond of the scent, which is rather floral. But considering this is a relatively newly released fragrance I can get over there being another fragrance sample! 





Nails Inc. - Bruton St. Nail Polish
Price for Fullsize - £11, 10ml
Value of Glossybox Sample - £4.40, 4ml.
My Thoughts - I don't have the best experiences with Nails Inc, finding the colours to be sheer and chip easily. But I'm willing to give them another try with this pretty rosey mauve colour. 





Jelly Pong Pong Lip Blush 
Price for Fullsize - £12, 2.5g
Value of Glossybox Sample - £12, 2.5g
My Thoughts - Although the fullsize product of the box and the make-up product I'm really not that excited by this as it's very similar to, but not quite as good on first impressions as the Revlon Just Bitten Balm Stains. Colourwise this is a tad purpler than Lovesick from Revlon. 





Tresemme Salon Finish Extra Hold Hairspray
Price for Fullsize - £4.69, 500ml 
Value of Glossybox Sample - 94p, 100ml
My Thoughts - A fab size and a nice product to be included but as a lot of you know I have dreadlocks and so no use for this - but my mum will hopefully be welcoming of it!




Overall I'm very happy with this months box - although I wouldn't pay £12 for that Jelly Pong Pong product! I know the boxes always differ between people so if you're subscribed I'd love to hear what you got!

  1. Looks like a good box,agree with the lip stain being overpriced though! I've had to cancel my subcription due to lack of funds, rather sad!

    1. I'm sure foods better than lip stains at the end of the day :)

    2. Very true! Especially when I have enough stuff to last years I'd imagine!

  2. Your box is pretty much the same as mine this month. I would have preferred that shade of nail polish though xx

    1. Me too - the last couple of months (since Birchbox appeared) have been very decent!

  4. This looks like a nice varied box with a lot of well known brands, but you're right the lip stain is definitely on the pricey side! :) x

  5. I got the same box as this, but I don't really like what I got. I don't think I'll be using any of the products...
