[Glossybox] May!
So, I joined Glossybox. It's a monthly subscription service that for £10 sends you a box full of beauty samples for you to try and check out. May's box was my first box and whilst it didn't have items in it that I would have normally tried, I was still pretty darn impressed. The box was gorgeous, really excuqisitely designed and I will be using it for other things, not to the actual box.
From Top Left to Right: Lolita Lempicka L'Eau en Blank & Eau de Parfum, Noble Isle Summer Rising Bath & Shower Gel, Glossybox Compact, Apivita Express Beauty Mask (with honey), Berber Oil Hair Treatment and HD BROWS Grow Baby Grow.
Lolita Lempicka L'Eau en Blank (£65, 100 ml each):
Lolita Lempicka's L'eau en Blank is a really light, sweet, feminine perfume. The fragrance is very soft with very delicate tones. Whilst a great perfume, it is a reapply one as it is so light. I sprayed some on this morning and I still have a little lingering on now... about six hours later. I'm usually more of a heavy oriental toned perfume kind of girl but this was really sweet and such a nice change. Each little sample bottle contains about two or three uses of it, so I'll be using this one up.
4/5 STARS
Lolita Lempicka Eau de Parfum (£65, 100 ml each):
Lolita Lempicka Eau de Parfum is a little stronger. Still really sweet and really nice but not as much a favourite as en Blank. Perfect for nighttime rather than day.
3/5 STARS
Noble Isle Summer Rising Bath & Shower Gel, (£20, 250ml each.)
A really generous helping of Noble Isle is going to have me lasting for days and it's a good job because it is GORGEOUS. A really refreshing smell, it's made from gooseberry with clean notes of orange blossom, moss and cut grass. I really like the orange blossom/gooseberry combo. It's a little gooseberry heavy but is stunning, stunning. It's best used with a little poofball thing, and foams up really well if use with one. Even hours afterwards, a walk and exercise, I still have a lingering scent of Sumer Rising and its really pleasant. Honestly if it wasn't for the hefty price tag, I would be so all over this.
4/5 STARS
Apivita Express Beauty Mask With Honey (£3.50 per sachet.)
Okay, so this is a full size product. And you can if you store well get 2-4 uses out of it. I only used a quarter of one of my sachets and still have plenty left over. I'd only use this item 1-2 per week but the price tag on this is not bad at all. I loved the smell of the honey one, I have quite sensitive skin with normal/dry areas so this mask was perfect for that. It didn't dry or get tacky on my skin but really intensly nourished my skin and left it feeling great once I'd rinsed it off. This would be definitely something I would use again.
5/5 STARS
Osmo Berber Oil Hair Treatment (£19.99, per 100ml.)
Look, I'm not a fan of oil hair treatments it tends to leave me feeling a little well oily. In dry hair, I just didn't feel like I got great coverage and mmm I'm not sure if my hair feels any different but I am going to give this another go tomorrow and use it in damp hair as that is supposed to improve the treatment especially to try or damaged ends.
3.5/5 STARS
HD BROWS Grow Baby Grow (£29.95 per tube)
So, I won't be using this. The point of this product is to help your eyebrows regrow in if you overpluck them and I have plenty of hair so this isn't something that will be for me. I may end up giving this away if someone really, really wants to try it out let me know and I'll get it sent over to you.
The packaging/bottle/design is beautiful though.
