November Glossybox 2014

This months glossybox has arrived and this month I am yet to find one subscriber raving about the products included. I for one, am not far behind on disappointment however, I can see many positive products in this box also; to begin with 3 of the products are full size leaving 2 sample sizes. 

Another great aspect of this box is that unlike last months box glossybox brought back the product cards - meaning the surprise element was heavily welcomed back. 

Prior to receiving this box glossybox announced two of the products for every subscriber; a eye pencil and Burt's Bees lip shine. Furthermore, not only does the box contain a spoiler for Decembers box (a bella Pierre lip stain) but a coupon code off a fashion website.


So the box was pale pink again and also matte again - a concept I really dislike given the title "Glossybox".

Lollipops MakeUp Eye Pencil 

One of the products announced early was this eye pencil; a deep black retractable pencil which is beautifully packaged; a nice pale pink pencil with gold leopred print - I love it! 
The formula itself is said to be long lasting, enriched with Vitamin E with anti-ageing and anti-radical action - a lot of fancy wording for an eye pencil but I must say having used the product it did last right up until I washed my face in the evening, with the colour still as dark and bold as when I first glided it along my waterline. 

Burt's Bees Lip Shine 

We all love Burt Bees products, natural ingredients that only nourish your lips! This lip shine is no exception, not only is it enriched with moisturising apricot wax but it leaves your lips feeling sweet, smooth and looking super shiny and eye catching. A great product at full size also! 

H20+ Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment 

This is a small sample of a moisturising gel that is supposedly meant to minimises the look of fine lines, I have used this product a number of times and have noticed no difference! Moreover, the sample is merely 8ml which really is nothing, however considering 50ml costs £27.50 I guess we can't be too greedy. 

MONU Skincare Refining Capri Facial Oil 

A facial oil that balances the oils on your face and reduces the chances of breakouts; I was super happy to see this product, I love anything that works to prevent spots however, I have tried this product the last three days and have found it has brought me out rather than reduced breakouts, hopefully if I perciever it may come good - only time will tell. 

Umberto Giannini Miracle Worker

The last of the three full size products. This spray is to be used on damp hair before blow drying for shine of overnight for full treatment to hair; it supposedly transforms dry, damaged frizzy hair. Either way it smells gorgeous, essences from the argon oil.
