Glossy box March 2015.


So though I only get the occasional Glosyybox they mistakenly shipped me one this month.

Now TBH it's not something that I would have sprung for myself but having said that it's a pretty darned good selection of products.
There's a generous 250ml bottle of Nexxus Colour Assure Shampoo. I've liked everything I've ever tried from Nexxus and I have colored hair so this is great for me - I can never have too many shampoos (lol!) and this one smells great.

All of the other products are from companies that are new to me.

Skincare wise there are two sample pots of Orogold 24K Multi Vitamin Day Moisturiser which contains both vitamins and gold. It looks and feels light but on application I realized that it was quite rich although it did absorb well. A full sized 1.7oz pot of this costs an astounding $178.00 so I'm happy to try this at no cost!

The three make up products that I received are all by British brands and are all full sized. There's a So Susan Concealer Quad - four shades of concealer in a palette that you could use for concealing or contouring. It's formulated from Marula oil and you can blend them to get a perfect match - clever huh?

POP Kajal Pen is a soft eyeliner in the shade 'Inky Purple' which is great shade of aubergine that I think will work with my hazel/green eyes and it has one of those *smudgy sponge things* on it also.

Finally there's a BellaPierre Cheek and Lip Stain in the shade 'Pink' - how did they come up with that name! It's a mineral based stain that I will most likely use on my lips unless its very blendable as it looks to be quite bright and pigmented.

Also this month there is a coupon code for www.caseable.com which is a site that makes customised covers for phones, iPads, laptops, ereaders etc. It's a mystery code for an amount between five and a hundred dollars. I'm sure most people got a five dollar code but I will check it out and if I have a decent amount I will get something... You never know right?

Overall I think that this is a pretty good box. I will definitely use the shampoo and moisturisers and will play around with the make up items. I like that there are three full sized items and the value contained in this box is amazing - $69.00 without the pricey Orogold samples and Caseable code. I think that Glossybox has to be one of the better subscription box services and even though I wouldn't subscribe full time I will  certainly continue to check them out from time to time.
