Glossybox is usually my favourite subscription box, and after seeing the sneak preview product I was sure this would be a great one. As it is I’m torn on my feelings for what could have been a great box but unfortunately turned into a bit of a let down.
There are five products this month (three full size) and I got a bonus as I’ve been a subscriber for one year now.
Mitchell and Peach Body Cream
I wasn’t at all excited when I first saw this body cream but actually the smell won me over in an instant! It’s so deliciously natural smelling with a whole host of organic oils and extracts including lavender, rose, vanilla, sweet violet, coconut along with English honey and shea butter. Free of parabens, SLS and synthetic colouring this is a really lovely addition to the box.

Sleek Pout Polish in Chocolate Kiss
I was so excited about this when I saw it in the sneak peek but WHY did it have to be in the most disgusting poo-brown colour ever. Am I the only one who thinks brown lipstick the most dated and awful thing? I love that it has SPF15 and I’m a big fan of pretty much everything Sleek make but I don’t think I’ll ever find any use or wear in this colour unfortunately.

Bellapierre Cosmetics Shimmer Powder in SP002 Twilight
Another product that could have been amazing and unfortunately just happens to be in a colour I really don’t think I will use. Amie got a gorgeous dreamy dark blue shimmer in hers (which I am totally 100% jealous of!) but I got this sandy gold. Though it’s pretty enough I just can’t see myself getting much wear out of this shade. I do however like that it is 100% pure mica.

Vita Liberata pHenomonal 2-3 Week Tan Lotion
Nope. Do not want. Not only are these tiny samples but I have never ever in my life used fake tan, nor do I intend to! I fully enjoy being as pale as possible all year round and really cannot ever imagine a time where I would want to even test this out for lulz.
2 x 3ml Samples
£37.50 for 150ml from Vitaliberata.com
Dove Hair Therapy Intensive Repair 60 Second Treatment Shot
I love the idea of these bonus little treatments but there never seems to be quite enough for my long thick hair! Still it’s enough to give it a try, especially at it advises you to use it only on the ends of your hair.

£1.49 from Superdrug.com
Green and Black’s Organic Milk Chocolate
Finally I received a tiny chocolate bar as a thank you for subscribing over a year ago, which was a lovely surprise!
So overall not an amazing box for me (though it could have been with different shades in the two full size make-up products!) but not a completely terrible one either.
If you want a Glossybox of your very own you can order one here for £10 (+ P&P)
Totally hellbent for almost getting it right
