SEPTEMBER GLOSSYBOX

This months glossybox was the 'London edition' and considering I live in London, I was very excited to see what was inside. So excited in fact that as soon as the delivery guy turned up at my door, I ripped the box open and find a brilliant surprise.
This box contained:
 Eyelure Pre-glued lashes
 Be a Bombshell felt eyeliner in Onyx - which I have tried and am currently loving
 Untold by Elizabeth Arden perfume sample - this stuff smells so nice!
 TONY&GUY Shine Gloss Serum 
 Dr Lipp Nipple balm for lips - such a strange name
So two products were full sized and I'm impressed with this box, can't wait to try all these out! What's even better is because I got this box for free, aren't glossydots just brilliant!?

And that is this month's box so I leave you with a little quote that was inside the Untold packaging!

AUGUST GLOSSYBOX

 Despite hearing a lot of negative comments about this months glossybox, I'm impressed! The theme for this months box was 'high-flyers', so the products are from various parts of the world including the UK, USA, Brazil, India and Sweden.
Emite Make Up - Eyelash Curlers £20 - Sweden
I'm excited to try these out! I've recently binned my old eyelash curlers and I was debating whether to purchase a pair of Shu Uemura curlers - the holy grail of eyelash curlers. The only thing that put me off was the price tag, I just couldn't justify spending that much money of curlers so I'm super happy about receiving these. Considering they're around the same price as Shu Uemura, I'm expecting a lot!
Óceane - Makeup Remover Pen - Brazil
I've never seen anything like this in the UK so I'm excited to try this out. I always manage to smudge my eyeliner so this is just perfect for me.
Tresemmé - Keratin Smooth Concentrated Treatment Shot £1.49 - USA
Bearing in mind this is available to buy in Superdrug, Boots, Waitrose and Tesco - how have I never seen it? I suffer from really dry ends so this should be a saviour!
Jelly Pong Pong - 2 in 1 Eyeshadow/Liner £10.50 - UK
As I'm sure you'll are very aware, I'm a big fan of Jelly Pong Pong cosmetics, especially their Fairy Lashes Mascara, so I've got high expectations for this. Although I only wear liquid or gel eyeliners, I think this will come in handy for creating a dark smokey eye.
Urban Veda - Neem + Botanics Purifying Exfoliating Facial Polish - India
I've never heard of this brand before but their principles are impressive so I'm really hoping I like the product, that way I have an excuse to purchase some more items from their range.

And that was this months glossybox. Out of the five products I received, four were full sized, which is just amazing! On first impressions, I'm impressed so hopefully these products will be as good as they seem!
What did you think about this months box?

JULY GLOSSYBOX

I have to be 100% honest and say that when this box first arrived I was like 'meh', but the more I keep thinking about it, the more I'm starting to like it.
I would have never have chosen any of the products in here by myself (that explains my meh reaction) but then I think to myself and say, well isn't the reason I signed up to glossybox is to try products I wouldn't have discovered on my own? Yes. Yes it was!
This box contains really good products and I'm excited to try them, shame I judge it before I saw its potential! 
Apart from Essie and Sleek, these brands are new to me so it should be interesting to try this box out over the next month! This months box contained:

Sleek Pout Paint in Cloud 9
Sleek Pout Paint in Rosette
Essie Sleek Sticks in Oh My Gold! (new product!)
Anatomicals Spray misty for me facial spritz
Alterna Haircare Bamboo Style Boho Waves Tousled Texture Mist
Coola Organic Suncare Collection Mineral Face SPF 20 Unscented 

Receiving full sized products is always a bonus so I was very happy that 4/6 products this month were full sized!

JUNE GLOSSYBOX (FINALLY ARRIVED!)

Hello hello helloooooo ladies! So I thought I would kick off this gorgeous Friday afternoon with my June Glossybox post. I'm not quite sure what happened with delivery this month, but my box was delayed, nevertheless I'm impressed. I've seen many bbloggers slating the box saying how much they didn't like this months product, I however disagree. I'm actually really excited about this months products!
All these brands are new to me, despite having heard of them before, I've never actually used any products from them (I guess that's why I'm excited!) This month box included:

Monu Professional Skincare Hydrating Moisturiser SPF 30ml
Helen É Cosmetics Eye Pencil with Smudger in Black
Figs & Rouge Coco Rose Lip Balm
Organic Surge Shine Boost Conditioner
MEMEME Long Lasting Nail Gloss in Wild

I'm amazed at the fact that four out of five products were full sized! Very impressed! From the little leaflet that comes with the box, these products look very promising so keep your eyes peeled for rates and slates!

GLOSSYBOX TURNS TWO

So it seems that everyone in the beauty blogging world has been very excited for the May Glossybox, and there is no surprise considering they Glossybox turned two this month and by the sounds of their tweets and instagram photos it was going to be a special box, and it is! 
My box arrived today and I was delighted to see three full sized products, two very generous samples and a Glossybox birthday treat!


The box arrived looking like any normal Glossybox but as you can tell the inside was very different!


But lets get to why you're reading this, the products!


As you can see, this box was impressive! This month contained:
Headline Colors Poolside Party nail polish in 083
Jelly Pong Pong Fairy Lashes mascara
Awapuhi Shine Spray in Wild ginger
Roger and Gallet Fleur de Figuier sachets
Beautiful Movements Cosmetics Prime & Create Mixing Medium in sample size
Glossybox Nail files

What I'm most excited to try is the Headline Color nail polish, it's a gorgeous colour and the brief product outline in the leaflet makes it sound like a pretty good nail polish. In the whole box this month I've only previously heard of Roger and Gallet and Jelly Pong Pong. R&G are very well known, whereas Jelly Pong Pong aren't, the only time I had heard of them before was at the Clothes Show Live in 2009 when I brought a bag of makeup goodies from them! Thinking back, I was pretty impressed with the products back them, so hopefully the mascara will live up to my expectations! I'm pretty pleased most of the products in the box are by brands I haven't heard of before, you never know they may become some of my favourites!

I will be trying these products over the upcoming weeks and will be posting about them shortly!
