Glossy Box Inspection

Hey Sparklers! 

I have heard a few of my clients mention Glossy Box to me and I had no idea what these were! So I decided to investigate a few months ago and see what all the fuss was about. 

For anyone who doesn't know what glossy box is it is a subscription for £10.00 a month, plus postage and packaging, which you can subscribe for one month, or as an ongoing subscription, and for that £10 you receive a lovely little box which is filled with beauty miniatures depending on your specific profile! 

To sign up for this you need to go to the website http://www.glossybox.co.uk/

After hearing people talk about them I decided to sign up and see what kind of products I would receive.

When signing up you have to fill in a few details about yourself, your credit/debit card details, I paid via paypal, and then complete your profile to tell glossy box what kind of products you would like to receive! 

The form is pretty easy to fill out, and asks you specifics such as your skin colouring, hair colour and if you would like beauty or hair products, this is so that glossy box can send you out the correct colouring products. 

Over the past few months I have recieved some good products and as of yet I haven't cancelled my subscription. Some products I have recieved I have ended up buying the larger product because I have loved them that much, and some of the other minitures which I decided that I wouldn't use I have kept and used for extra birthday presents for people, or prizes for beauty competitions. 

So last week I recieved my June Glossy Box, Take a Look! 



The products I received are as followed: 

Glossybox Serie Exclusiv Pro Beauty Brush RRP £15.00
HD Brows Percision Tweezers RRP £19.95
BM Beauty Summer Warmth Bronzer RRP £8.00
Paul Mitchell, The Conditioner RRP £12.25 
Vichy, Dermablend Ultra-Corrective Foundation Cream RRP £19.00




Overall my products in my beauty box would be worth £74.20, so for the minitures I recieved I think that this is well worth it, as I have recieved a full size beauty brush, and HD Brows Tweezers! 


Glossybox Serie Exclusiv Pro Beauty Brush & BM Beauty Summer Warmth Bronzer 

The Glossy box Beauty Brush I used to test out my BM Beauty Summer Bronzer. The brush is very lightweight and very soft. It is not as big as a bronzer brush I would normally use, I think I will use this brush for my blusher from now on as it is more suited for that use. For the retail price I wouldn't of bought this brush at full price as I dont think it is worth £15, however as I have received it in my Glossy Box it will add nicely to my brush collection. 








The Summer Warmth Bronzer is very shimmery and golden which I love! It will go lovely on golden tanned skin, and I even think I may have to use it as a shimmer dust for my eyes!  







The picture above doesn't do the bronzer justice, it is very shimmery and pretty! I will defo be considering buying this product! 

HD Brows Percision Tweezers

I am loving HD Brows at the moment! I am currently looking to do a course to be able to treat my clients to HD Brows so recieving these tweezers has spured me on to get my course booked! 




For £19.95 they are expensive for tweezers, but they are very good quality, and have very good grip! 

If you want a good pair of tweezers and are willing to pay nearly £20.00 for them then I would suggest you buy these!


Paul Mitchell, The Conditioner 

I had my doubts about this product as I have used a few 'leave in conditioners' before and I have always found that they made my hair really greasy. 


I contemplated keeping this product as spares to use as my beauty prizes but the more I thought about it the more I thought I would give it a go! 


So I washed my hair as directed and applied The Conditioner to my damp hair, and left it to dry naturally over night. I woke up the next morning praying that I didn't have to get up and wash my hair again and I have to I was very suprised at the results! My hair was really soft and smooth!! 


I am over the moon with this product and really impressed as I have always had bad experiences with these types of products, so this has completely changed my views! 


I wore my hair down at work and I had a few comments on how shiny my hair was, and one of my colleagues actually touched my hair and commented on how soft it was, so I definantly think that this product is worth a buy! 


If you have had trouble before with conditioners then give this one a go as it certainly worked for me! 


When I have looked on the Paul Mitchell website to investigate more on this product, the description also states that the product 
 "Doubles as an excellent moisturizer for skin"
