Glossybox February 2015

I'm a little late with this as Glossybox ship in the latter half of the month and to boot the first box they sent me went astray so I contacted their customer service and a replacement box was shipped out straight away. I am really impressed by their customer service, in my experience it was prompt and efficient.

Personally, I prefer to shop beauty products to take best advantage of GWP's rather than locking myself into a long term subscription but if I see good online spoilers I will buy a one off box from time to time which is what I did here. 

GlossyBox costs $21.00 which includes taxes and shipping. 

I didn't have any promo codes to use but I purchased through ebates which gives a $2.75 rebate on each Glossybox bought through them so I only paid  $18.25. 

The theme of this box was 'Love' and the box itself was very pretty - that's it pictured above. 

I've read mixed reviews of this box but I am thrilled with mine! I'm delighted with every product in it. (Box contents do differ for different purchasers depending on what preferences you choose in an online survey.)

Here's what I received:

Rituals Yogi Flow Shower Gel was the product that enticed me to buy this box - Rituals shower gels are my absolute favorites and I had not tried this perfume before. They come in an aerosol and are a gel which transforms into a rich creamy lather - rather like a shaving gel. I find them to be luxurious and moisturising. Yogi Flow is scented with rose and almond and is a sweet yet not sickly rose. I really like it.

Scalisi Skincare is a new brand for me, I love skincare so was pleased to receive their Cleanser and Exfoliator. It's a clear non-foaming gel that contains exfoliating microbeads and is suitable for daily use. I'm not a fan of the scent of this but it does make my skin feel nice and soft without stripping it. I will use it but not as a daily face wash.

Royal Apothic is a fun brand that I like a lot. Tinties Lip Butter is a tinted lip balm that contains argan, grapeseed and sweet almond oils and shea butter. It comes in an adorable little pot. I received the shade 'Pink' which I look forward to using when I have finished my current balm.

I've not used Julep nail polishes before, they are a vegan 5free formula. I received 'Hartleigh' which has tiny particles of white, red and gold glitter and tiny red hearts in it. It's a shame that this came after Valentine's Day but nonetheless it's a fun polish and will be good for an accent nail.

Finally Unwash is a co-washing product (a conditioner that you use in  place of shampoo - basically you are washing your hair with conditioner). I'm not sure how I feel about co-washing - I think it may not work for me as my hair is quite fine -  so I am happy to get the chance to try it out without having to purchase a full sized product as they tend to be quite expensive.

All of the products I received were full sized with the exception of Unwash (which was still a generously sized tube). The total value of products in the box came to $74.67 and I will use them all so this Glossybox was fantastic value for me and definitely worth buying.
