This September's GlossyBox

You may well remember back in June me telling you all about a fab new beauty related product called GlossyBox.

Three months on, Glossy Box is going from strength to strength and this month I took a sneak peak at their September box.

For those of you who missed my post, GlossyBox is a monthly subscription service where for the reasonable price of £12.95, you will receive in the post, in a beautifully packaged box, a mix of five carefully selected, high-end miniature beauty samples.  

 

It’s a great concept, allowing you to find out about and try a huge range of products which you perhaps wouldn’t normally try. Further more, if you find that you love the products and want to buy them yourself, GlossyBox provide you with exclusive discount codes to use when purchasing the full size product.

The September Box sees GlossyBox maintaining their high standard of products with a range of items from make up to haircare, skincare to fragrance.

 In my box this month there was:

HD Brows Eye & brow Palette

Dead Sea Spa Magik Salts

Neal and Wolf Glow Super shine spray

Moa The Green Balm

Plum by Mary Greenwell

I was very surprised and somewhat delighted to see that there was a FULL SIZE  HD Brows kit in this months box- Not only do I already use HD Brow’s Eye & Brow palette every single day, it is one of my absolute staple products that I cannot live without!  The multi-use palette contains four matte eye brow colours that can double up as eye shadow and eyeliner and last 24 hours- these bad boys wont leave your eyes or brows unless you want them to!

Im a sucker for body scrubs and loved the Dead Sea Spa Magik salts- a blend of Dead Sea Salts, Vitamin E & Coconut Oil paired with a lovely fresh citrus aroma. A lovely, refreshing body scrub for all those of you who like to have silky smooth bods!

 Neal & Wolf Glow Super Shine Spray smells divine and gave my hair a wonderful shine. The smell reminds me of baby powder, not overpowering or chemical smelling and can be used to smooth hair, control frizz and tame static as well as adding shine.

 Moa The Green Balm is something ive never heard of before and am delighted to have found. Moa is a natural skin care balm with ‘miraculous’ healing powers to soothe, nourish and renew dry, itchy skin conditions, bumps, bites, grazes and minor burns. 

It feels nourishing, has a pleasant natural smell is incredibly cute- Am a big fan of products which have multi uses- especially in a recession!

 

The fragrance I received was Plum by celebrity make up artist Mary Greenwell. Plum, a contemporary chypre, blends top notes of peach, blackcurrant, plum, bergamot and lemon. Harmonious heart notes of Gardenia, tuberose, orange flower absolute, rose absolute and jasmine absolute. Followed by delicious Dry down of Precious Woods, Sandalwood, Oakmoss, Patchouli, Amber, and White Musks.

I have to be honest, I wasn’t that keen on the fragrance, but fragrance preferences are so personal im sure many will love it.

So there you have it, GlossyBox delivers once more!

Oh la la Boudoir Prive!

Hot on the tails of Glossy Box which I mentioned several posts back, is Boudoir Prive. Boudoir Prive’s Beauty Box follows the similar concept of allowing consumers to try luxury products before they buy, all for a very reasonable price of £10 per month. For your monthly membership of £10 you will receive one of their boxes directly to your home or office, containing six expertly selected samples of both well established and brand new brands.

The samples will cover skincare, body care, hair care, make-up, fragrance and lifestyle, providing you with a comprehensive selection of items to try. Unlike some of its competitors, Boudoir Prive then encourages feedback on the samples in exchange for fabulous discounts in their online shop, should you then chose to buy the full size version of the product.

Following the dissatisfaction seen with many of Glossy Box’s customers following the arrival of June’s box which contained an inexpensive, well known hair care product which was far from luxurious, the hunt is on to find a truly decadent company who provides truly high end products, and that company could very well be Boudoir Prive. After all, their name alone evokes images of wealthy, Chic Parisians and Marie Antoinette indulging in extravagance, splendour, enchantment and luxury.

In the 18^th Century, a woman’s Boudoir was her sanctum. A place to retreat, reflect and experiment with her hair an beauty in the comfort of her own home. We at Boudoir Prive are reinventing the contemporary Boudoir and revolutionising the way cosmetics are sold online, by giving women the luxury of discovering new beauty products in the intimacy of their own room.

Limited membership is available soon, just enter your email address here for an exclusive invitation. Once you have signed up you will be given a unique link to share with your friends which not only tells them about the fab brand but allows you to increase your chance of priority access and receiving your box before everyone else- which makes us feel a little bit special!

The first Boxes are due to be shipped in July with an official launch in August.

A Box full of Beauty

There are 3 things in life that I love- Beauty products, surprises and receiving exciting things in the post! (ie not bills! )
You can imagine then my excitement when I found out about a brand new product and service which incorporates all 3 of my great loves!
GlossyBox is without a doubt one of the most innovative & original products I have seen in a long time.

For £10 a month, they will send you 5 luxury product miniatures , beautifully packed and presented in pink box for you to try at home. As if that doesn’t sound amazing enough, you can create your personal online beauty profile on their website and they will tailor your products to you, making your box as individual as you are! AND, delivery is free!



For £10 this really is a bargain, as after having a nose around their website I came across the ‘products’ page for their first box, May 2011. The price of the items which were included in the £10 box totalled more than £100 ( granted there are only miniature sizes in the box) but still I have no doubt that for £10 you are getting great value for money.

Ive put in my order for next months today and I am incredibly excited about my little surprise in the post!
