August Glossybox.

OK, so ever since I heard about Glossybox and beauty boxes in general, I've been toying with the idea of trying them out. My main concern was that I'd end up with loads of products that weren't suitable for my skin colour or type and that'd it'd be a waste of money. Well a few months down the line, my chum bit the bullet and started subscribing and loved it. She explained that you fill in a questionnaire so they send you stuff suitable for your wants and needs and so I just went for it last month and got involved. Well, my first box (July) was a bit crap to say the least but I let them off cause I hadn't yet completed my questionnaire; so I hung on for my August box and told myself if it wasn't that amazing I'd cancel it. So what's in my August box...

In case you didn't already know, the August box had an International Brands theme which on the surface sounds really exciting and exotic. The products I got were:

Alessandro Pro White Nail Polish

DHC Deep Cleansing Oil

All For Eve Eve's Balm

Vera Valenti Eye Shadow Palette

Lipcote

Glossybox Lipstick

Now, I don't know about you but in deciding to subscribe to Glossybox, I was hoping to try some luxury brands and products but I'm sorry, the eye shadow palette looks, feels and is cheap, retailing at under £4. I also have issues with Glossybox's own products being valued and considered as an item rather than a free sample because they can just totally make up the value to fit the rest of the contents of the box. I dunno, I'm just massively underwhelmed by the offerings from Glossybox in the July and August boxes. I'm going to cancel my subscription and try another beauty box. I'll review these products at some point (maybe I guess) but the only product I'm that mithered about it the Lipcote because it claims to make your lipstick last longer.  Sorry to all you Glossybox girls if this upsets you; maybe I just set my expectations too high...
