Picked up my Glossybox yesterday. I am generally pleased with it. Only thing I won't use is the nail wraps.
Glossybox says "The Christmas Gift Guide:Part 1. Five products to try before you buy whether for yourself or others".
What I got:
Nail Rock Designer Nail Wraps (red with a black lace effect)
40ml Tube Philip Kingsley Elasticizer - a pre-shampoo treatment - brilliant product, used before, gives hair amazing shine and depletes frizz.
25ml Dead Sea Spa Magik Delicate Boosting Mask for dry/sensitive skin
15ml Arbonne Ultra-Hydrating Hand Creme
1.5ml Freak EDP by Illamasqua
My verdict:
I am pleased with the box. Only product I won't use are the nail wraps - but I can pass these on.
I am always on the look out for hand creams and pleased to try the Freak EDP - I don't always find it easy to get free perfume samples from beauty counters.
I am pleased to try this one it's really nice (not as strong smelling as you'd think considering it contains notes of Black Davana, Opium Flower, Poison Hemlock and Frankincense to name a few) and I'd definitely think of buying especially with 20% off. I'd used the Elasticizer before - fab product and always pleased to try a new face mask. x

I received the exact same products. Of course there was a bit of a Glossygirls outcry on the FB page regarding the perfume sample. Alas, I actually like this one, and too, would consider buying it. It's not overpowering.
ReplyDeleteThe hand cream.. sad to say I don't like it, and I'm a sucker for hand creams!
The smell reminds me of Cowshed Orange and Peppermind hand cream. Too sickly for my tastes.
I hope, here in Italy, the won't send any parfume samples: it's unfair because everyone can get them free!
ReplyDeleteBtw, I'm curious about the dead sea mask! :)
I just reviewed the first italian glossybox if you are interested! ;)
I was completely satisfied, great products!

@NailsandNonsense, I saw the outcry on FB. I've not actually tried the hand cream yet but quite liked the cowshed one. Be interesting to see what Glossbox give us in December x
ReplyDelete@Nicole, I'll let you know how I get on with the mask and I'll check your Italian glossybox post too x
My glossy box came with some different products!
ReplyDeleteAnd my nail wraps is black and white so I will probably use it =) hahaha

I got the same nail wraps as you. So jealous of your handcream + hair treatment, I've been wanting to try elasticizer.
ReplyDeleteGlossybox obviously havent tailored the boxes as they said they have, wish they would sent everyone the same products.
xo
@Livia, glad you can use your nail wraps! x
ReplyDelete@Been There, Done That, Got The Lipstick, Glossybox should really give everyone the same as otherwise people get upset. I like how FU give everyone the same - only giving a different colour eyeshadow etc. x
Wish I got the the PK Elasticizer, looks very good! I got the leopard print nail wraps, I love them but my nails are too small. Thanks for following my blog, just having a browse through yours, looks fab!x :)

@MissRoc&BabyRoc, the elasticizer is a great product. I'm enjoying reading your blog :) x
ReplyDeleteMine's waiting at the post office - grrr, our new postie hasn't realised that we have a parcel safe - there are several items I now have to pick up! I can't wait to see what I've got - hopefully the Elasticizer! x
ReplyDelete@TheBristolBeautyBlog, mega grrr! I read on a blog or on Facebook that there were 10! variations with Glossybox this month! Fingers crossed you've got the Elasticizer! x
ReplyDeleteI got the same things as you in my box love the box this month and can't wait to try out the nail warps because I haven't used anything like them before :) Xx
ReplyDelete@Claire Louise, will be interested on your thoughts on the nail wraps. I'm also loving the Freak perfume. (and tempted by the 20% off code) x
