GLOSSYBOX (october)

 

The items in the box;

1) Anatomicals body scrub

2) Dermalogica night kit

3) Skinetica anti-blemish solution

4) Yves Rocher France lipstick

1) ANATOMICALS - DON'T JUST CLEAN IT WOMAN, SCRUB IT BODY SCRUB
   - A pink grapefruit body scrub that buffs with a bravura sense of charm and wit.
   - Smells yummy, I wouldn't necessarily say it smells of grapefruit though. It has large bits of grain that would be great as a scrub. I think I would also love to try out other Anatomicals products and receiving this has definitely spurred me on to doing so. (£3.49-200ml)

2) DERMALOGICA - 3 STEP DAY AND NIGHT KIT
   - Cleanse, tone and moisturise with the Day/Night 3-step mini kit.
   - Not really sure why I've received this product in this months Glossybox, when in June's box there was also a 3 Step Day and Night kit. Very disappointed with Glossybox for doing this and I know other people are too. (£12-kit)  (Review of Junes Glossybox)

3 SKINETICA - ANTI-BLEMISH
   - A unique solution for clearing skin blemishes, showing results in 2-3 days. Kind to skin with no side effects.
   - It has that strong alcohol smell that I think could disturb some peoples skin causing dryness and redness. I would use this by targeting problematic areas as opposed to generally applying the solution all over my face like the bottle says to. (£6.99-100ml)

4) YVES ROCHER FRANCE - MOISTURISING CREAM LIPSTICK - FRAMBOISE
   - Perfect coverage from the first application: a smooth, supple luminous film covering the lips.
   - Love the packaging of this lipstick, and the smell reminds me of the old Lancôme lipsticks. The shade I received is 'Framboise' a raspberry colour. It glide on really well and doesn't try out my lips. (£14.50-3.7g)

NO 5TH SAMPLE PRODUCT?!?!?

This box for me was a real disappointment. Receiving ANOTHER Dermalogica 3 Step Day And Night Kit was just unfair and outrageous. I decided to contact Glossybox and they said that the kit was actually meant for people who hadn't yet received it previously in the June Glossybox. They apologised and kindly offered to send me two replacement products which were a StriVectin face and neck cream (which is actually for older skin, so not appropriate for me) and an Eyeko eyeliner and I received both the next day.

Also, some people received 5 products in their box when I only received 4. I saw a tweet from Glossybox claiming that the Dermalogica Kit was worth 2 products when firstly in Junes box had 5 products and secondly why have they given out the kit within 5 months of each other. I've read some other blog reviews and the ones that received 5 products seem to really like them and I wish I had received those products. Beauty Swot's Blog review

When receiving a Glossybox, just remember it can be temperamental. Some boxes are great, some are alright and some are terrible.
