May Glossybox

Hello!

I was very excited when I received my Glossybox this month. I knew it was their 2nd birthday so had high hopes that it would be a good'un. And I wasn't disappointed!

So here's what I received:

.....

Full size RRP £12.99




If I am honest I have never heard or tried this brand before, so was curious to try this one! 
I received a lovely purple/berry colour which I love. It has a gorgeous fruity smell and feels soft and moisturising on the lips and not sticky at all. It has a pretty low colour pay off but is great if you just want a hint of colour on your lips.

Full size RRP £4.05



This is an oil for your hair, body or face. I have fairly oily skin so am a bit apprehensive about putting this on my face, that scares me a little bit. I tried some of this on the ends of my hair as they tend to get a bit dry and split (from endless dying and straightening, oops) and I have to say it worked a treat. It noticeably improved the appearance of my split ends and it smells amazing! It is a light weight dry oil and doesn't feel greasy at all. It is a lovely product and I am looking forward to experimenting a little more with this!

Full Size RRP £15



I am always on the hunt for the perfect mascara so was pleased to see this in my Glossybox. 
I have heard about this product before and have been keen to try it out. It has a pretty decent size brush, I'm not a fan of huge clumpy brushes 1. because they are messy and 2. the clump your lashes together and look awful. After one coat of mascara I couldn't really see a noticeable difference in length and volume. After 2 coats my lashes looked slightly longer and more volumised but not dramatically. I don't think this mascara beats some of my current favorites but it's okay for an every day defining mascara. This mascara claims to be water-resistant, it didn't flake or smudge during the day but I haven't yet properly put it to the test for its water-proof ability, hopefully it won't disappoint.

Full Size RRP £30 for 50ml



I haven't yet tried this product. To be honest I have some great moisturisers that I swear by but I will definitely give this a go to see how it compares. 
This product claims to "moisturize and revitalize  leaving skin looking plumped, smoothed and absolutely radiant."

Full Size RRP £20 for 20g


I haven't heard of this brand before and wasn't sure what this was for when I first saw it. I have some mixing mediums from MAC which change the texture of a product in to something else, and it seems this it a pretty similar to that. It says that this can be used as a primer, mixed with foundation for an air brushed finish, or with powder blush to make a cream tint, or eyeshadow pigment to create an eyeliner. I am looking forward to trying to trying this to see how it compares to MACs mixing medium.
