So this is my second Glossy box and I have to say I'm super impressed with both boxes so far! I mean this month just gets better, the box itself is worth it! It's a vintage floral pattern beautifully designed for Pearl Lowe. I just know this will look amazing as a little decoration box. This months theme is spring and I definitely think the products reflect this!
The first item is ' CRABTREE & EVELYN Somerset Meadow Hand Therapy'. This brand I have never heard of so it's great to try new things out! This cream is released on the 29th of April in UK stores. It smells just like a meadow, it's not really floral but has a nature kind of smell to it. I really like the packaging because it's in a metallic tube as opposed to a plastic one so it's quite vintage. It's really luxurious on my hands and is successful in getting rid of any dry spots. It's perfect for my handbag so overall it's a great product to receive!
The second item is ' YVES ROCHER So Elixir Purple Eau de Parfum'. Usually I would be like 'oh great, perfume...' but this sample is actually quite decent. In stead of the little tube you get it's an actual mini bottle. Which makes me feel as though my Glossy box was a little more worth it this month! Anyway, straight to the point, this perfume has a lovely smell to it but it's something which I'm not head over heels for I probably wont be buying this!
The next item is 'ILLAMASQUA Medium Pencil'. Another brand I have never heard of. I was fairly happy with this as I don't own a eyebrow pencil and I was planning on buying one but now I don't so it's all good news! I believe this product is full size which is good because I know it will last me FOREVER! It's very pigmented which means touch ups are a thing of the past with the product. Overall, I'm V-impressed.
The forth item is ' NIP+FAB Dry Skin Fix Body Butter'. I've seen this brand knocking around boots but I was a little put off as I don't really know much about it. I'm glad I received this in my box because I have really wanted to try it but for the price I wasn't too sure. This smells so beautiful and I definitely think I would purchase the other butters for either myself or as a present for someone in the future! They're super moisturising and leave the skin soft and smelling delicious.
Last but not least 'ESSIE Nail Lacquer'. I was so excited to get this and the colour is beautiful. It's baby pink with pretty purple flecks of glitter. I do really enjoy the range of colours ESSIE do but sadly I was disappointed by the quality of this nail polish. I thought it would be up there with the Nails INC/OPI kind of quality but it's more like Barry M but 3 times the price!
Total value of items in the box:
Approximately £31.37
So that's a wrap for this months glossy box! Please let me know your thoughts and if you receive glossy box the items you got! Overall I think this box is brilliant and I'm super pleased with what I have got! Thanks for reading!
