October Glossy Box

My First Ever!


I have been sent the October Glossy Box to review - what an absolute treat. Thank you Glossy Box!

The first thing I like to do when considering a product is to check out their website to find a little bit about what is behind the company. Glossy Box has a particularly clear and concise website that is easy to follow and it's values and aims are clearly described.

I do already subscribe to a monthly beauty box so this was a good chance for me to see what other boxes have to offer. 

So on to the contents. I was really impressed with the pretty pink box and wrapping. The fact that it is to support Breast Cancer this month brought tears to my eyes. A dear friend, who was a mum to a beautiful 4 year old girl, passed away after a brave and traumatic journey with breast cancer last year. I also have another lovely friend who had some horrid treatment and operations to combat this terrible disease, but is now a year and counting clear of cancer. It just seems too young to me.........


The box was even contained in an attractive brown and pink box!



There is a card with a clear explanation of each product. Very helpful.


The contents are well packaged. Wrapped in black tissue paper, tied with a pink ribbon with shredded black tissue paper to protect the products.


There are five products. Although they say there will be 5 miniatures , there are two larger size products included here. A full size lipstick and a good 75ml body scrub.




Anatomicals body scrub. Original product £3.49 200ml. A nice citrus smell with small particles that give your skin a nice smooth finish.


Yves Rocher France Moisturising Cream Lipstick - coleurs Nature . A beautiful creamy lipstick in a gorgeous deep plum red . Love this product! £14.50 for 3.7g product. A voucher is also included for £5 off any order over £30.



Olay Regenerist 3 point Treatment Cream Fragrance Free. A lovely moisturiser. This is a miniature. A full size product is £29.99 for 50ml.


Skinetica Anti Blemish - this is stated as kind to skin with no side effects so I am delighted to have this. My eldest son has just stated to get a few spots on his forehead ( much to his horror) so I will try this out on him! £6.99 for 100ml.


Dr. Jart Premium Beauty Balm - Love Love LOVE. Need I say any more. I have a review coming out on my Wednesday beauty buys next week and featured this on my top 5 products for October here. I am delighted Glossy Box has included this. It is an amazing BB - doesn't overclaim and does all it is meant to do - in my experience! Ok - I will calm down now. £24.00 for 40ml.



I am very impressed with the contents of this box. They are all of a good quality , presented well and explained clearly. I am very tempted to switch my monthly order over to GlossyBox from my regular Beauty Box based on this months box.
