Miss Glossybox is the younger sibling of the HBFL favourite, Glossybox. A bi-monthly subscription beauty box aimed at teenagers.

The box costs £7.00 (+£2.95 P&P) and everyone receives the same items.

Absolutely loving this box! The seven (SEVEN!) treats inside are all things I will use which is a rarity amongst beauty boxes.

There are four full size products, two samples and an accessory so well worth the money!

 

NYC In a NY colour minute – Times Square

IMG_5491

NYC are quickly becoming one of my favourite go to budget brands, especially their varnishes! Times Square is a gorgeous corally red with a hint of orange, and is a welcome addition to my sprawling collection of crimson polishes. I’m especially fond of fast dry formulas these days, and can’t understand why all polishes can’t dry as fast!

Full size product

£1.79 from Superdrug

 

NYC Nail Art Creation – Silverism

Another NYC polish, but this time with a tiny tiny brush for nail-art. I’m not sure the silver and red compliment each other very well, but I’ll certainly be having a play around with this and my blue polishes!

Full size product.

I couldn’t find a link to this anywhere online – perhaps a new release coming soon? At any rate it will be under £2.50 along with the rest of the range and available at Superdrug.

 

Beauty UK Posh Pout – Corally incorrect

Yet another copy of the Clinique Chubby Sticks, and this time from budget brand Beauty UK. I’ve not tried this brand out before, but Amie loves them so perhaps this gorgeous red will swing them into my favour. This is described as a “Moisturising twist-up tinted lip balm” but it has a lot more colour pay-off than you would expect from that description. I’d describe it more as a sheer glossy lipstick.

Full size product.

£2.99 from Beauty Uk

 

JvG Soft Touch Eyeliner

IMG_5497

 

One can never have too many black eyeliners. This reminds me of the Avon Supershock gel pencils but far far less greasy. It’s not a bold enough black for my own person tastes, but it applies well and I have to admit is very long lasting. Might have to try this out on the waterline on stage for a real test of it’s waterproof (Or sweat proof!) capabilities!

Full size product.

£6.95 from Monushop

 

Katy Perry Killer Queen EDP

IMG_5499

You know how I always complain about perfume samples in beauty boxes? Eek…well…I was really glad to see this one! I’m in love after a single spritz and this has gone on the top of my Christmas wish list (I’m aware it’s only September…)

Just gorgeous, and I know the full size bottle will look incredible on my dressing table!

P.S Loving the bad-ass trailer, I’m a bit of a KP fangirl (-100 krieg points?)

1.5ml Sample

£29 for 50ml at Superdrug

 

Skinetica Anti-Blemish Gel

IMG_5502

A brand I’m not familiar with, but I’m always willing to try out anything that promises to “soothe calm and banish skin blemishes with results in 2-3 days”. It also claims to double as a toner and a base for make-up so I’m looking forward to giving this a try!

Sample size (amount unspecified)

£6.99 from Skinetica

 

Gabrielle Aplin mirror and album sampler

IMG_5503

Genius marketing and a cute mirror to boot. The back of the mirror has a link to a youtube video where you can check out a sample of the album. Not my kind of thing but not exactly painful to my ears either.

Very cute and handy mirror!

 

You can get your very own Miss Glossybox here for £7.00 plus P&P

Totally hellbent for so many goodies in one box!

– Gem
