So this months box was quite a mess, with some expired products, products already in past boxes, massive amounts of unneeded moisturizer, no glossy magazine, micro sized samples, and a lot of people even missing products from their boxes.
I gave everything in my box to my mum right away, I let her open it (since I had looked at spoilers already) and keep everything since she likes surprises and moisturizing products.
Today I'll show you the products I received in my box, I have been getting them since last April and this was by far the worst box ever.. I haven't actually ever complained about one until now!
Burt's Bees Naturally Moisturizing Milk & Honey Body Lotion
A good quality product, but not full size. It smells super nice and works well, though we have received a moisturizer in basically every box and it's becoming a bit much.
Nivea Essential Care Lip Balm
This is a pretty boring product, useful, but not luxury. It can be bought for 0.90cents at Wal-Mart.
Beauty So Clean Makeup Brush Wipes
There wipes were in a previous box, and they're not very good to use on your brushes as they smell strongly of alcohol and will quickly deteriorate brushes, though I am sure it kills germs.
Wella Professional Leave-in Mousse for Coloured Hair
A full sized product. We have had so many Wella products I really would not like to receive anymore, I'd like to test out other brands as that is what GlossyBox is for. Besides that, the product works nicely, I don't ever use a mousse but I think I might try to use this sometimes in my wavy hair styles.
Two Faced Lip Plumper Sample
I love the Two Faced brand, it's one of my favourite brands to check out at Sephora and purchase from since their products are usually soooo cute. This is a pin sized sample, really just too small to even get three uses of so that is disappointing.
Be Fine Face Masks & Scrub Samples
This is a repeat product, though I don't mind having it again. Some people got different repeat products and this last item really varied from box to box. These face masks and scrubs you can get a few uses out of and I really enjoy that they're named and made out of food.
Yes, it was lacklustre! I got the elizabeth grant moisturizing stick. I don't even know what to do with it.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that i didn't even notice the magazine missing, I guess that proves how useful I find it. It's always showing off products that we didn't get in our boxes.
ReplyDeleteGlossybox was pretty bad in December 2012, just when you think you are getting a nice holiday box and maybe send one to friends as a gift....they decide to put in expired eye makeup from 2005...and Avon also?
ReplyDeleteRevlon nail polish that was dried up from a 5 years ago collection?

I thought in January they would make up for this...but no, sadly they send old and expired product yet again.
Quite a few people got expired Prevage cream that It had in one of the first boxes.
Lastly, Glossy did just send me 2 replacement items for the expired December cosmetics and guess what??!!???
GLOSSYBOX SENT ME 2 DIFFERENT EXPIRED ITEMS...WOW GREAT!
I got MNY Maybeline lip gloss (from a 2010 collection, only found on ebay right now).
Revlon #478 tuscan sun nail polish
Glossybox is also banning anyone who writes they are not happy from posting on their facebook.
They banned me for that!
Love the name of your blog!
