Hello my lovelies and a Happy Valentines Day to you all! For todays post I thought I would write one on my February Glossybox which was a special Valentines edition one so it seemed fitting to upload this on Valentines Day. I was really chuffed with this months box and it will be up there as one of my favourites. My personal favourite products from last months box would have to be the Organic Lip Balm and the brown eyeliner by Me Me Me. I am really enjoying my subscription to Glossybox as it is the gift that keeps on giving with lots of new and exciting products to try each month. I love the packaging of this box I think that it's super cute and quirky. I love the white box with the hot pink writing I love wearing that pink as a nail polish colour.
Hydro Silk Razor By Wilkinson Sword
I'm not going to lie but this was the first product I noticed in the box and my initial thought was that's a really random product. I guess it's one of those beauty products that we all use but we don't tend to get excited about, I guess another example of one of these products would be toothpaste. This probably isn't a great thing for a beauty blogger to say but I'll be honest with you and when it comes to shaving I usually just use disposable razors. I don't know why I just find the cheap and cheerful. Although saying that this one is priced at £9.99 and you do get several uses out of these so price wise it probably evens out in the long run. The good thing about this razor is that it contains a moisturising serum which will be more beneficial for you skin then just a basic razor blade. I've surprised myself in the fact I'm actually excited to try this which is something I didn't think I would say but I just simply want to know if all these fancy razors are worth the hype and the effort of replacing the blades. Seeing as everyone in the 21st century must use these razors rather than disposable ones so I'm pushing the boat out with this.
Mineral Eyeshadow By Marsk
Moving onto make-up now, this is a gorgeous loose and highly pigmented metallic grey eyeshadow. This Valentines Glossybox was inspired by the release of the Fifty Shades Of Grey film and to be fitting this eyeshadow is in the shade Fifty Shades. It is a gorgeous grey which would work really well for a smokey eye. I find posse eyeshadows are more pigmented although I'll be honest in the fact I use pressed more and will only very rarely use loose as I just find them more time consuming. You've got to be careful that you don't go OTT with the powder and it's really easy to just make a big mess everywhere from dropping powder just from opening and shutting the lid which I wouldn't trust in my handbag. Saying that when I have the time and energy I will use loose eyeshadows and I really like this one as I have slightly grey tones in my eyes so I think that this eyeshadow will help to emphasise my eyes. Marsk is a new brand to me but they claim to be a brand that specialises in natural and organic products. It is a more expensive brand but they produce some gorgeous products which are definitely worth checking out. I've got my eye on an eyeshadow called Mudcake which is a gorgeous dark brown. These are individually priced at £14.49 each.
Magnetic Nail Polish By Essie
I thought I would stick with the grey theme and talk about this product next. This was probably the second product I noticed in the box and one that got me very excited. I absolutely adore Essie nail polishes and I am really excited to welcome this gem to the collection. It is a gorgeous metallic grey shade with a snake skin effect magnetic, it is in the shade Snake, Rattle and Roll which I love the name of. A tip with magnetic nail polishes is that if you hold the magnet at the side of the bottle it will demonstrate what the effect will look like on your nails. With magnetic polishes you apply one or two coats of the polish normally and when you apply the next coat, hold the magnet over your nail for 10 seconds to get the special effect. I have only recently been converted to grey nail polishes but I am really into them at the moment and I have seen a lot of beauty bloggers blogging and instagraming pictures of grey nail polish so I would say it's definitely on trend at the moment. This is priced at £9.99 so a little more then the usual Essie formulas but it would make a lovely gift or a treat for yourself.
Lip And Cheek Rose Quartet By So Susan
This is the second So Susan product that I have achieved from Glossybox. The first was a concealer quad and this is in the same design yet with cheek and lip stains instead in the shade Warm Rose. This quad contains four rose inspired shades which I would say are of a more cool tone and more suited for the Autumn and Winter. I would wear the two shades on the left as lip colours and the two shades on the right as cheek colours. I have naturally dark pigmented lips so I can't wear nude colours but at the same time I'm not a fan of dark red and pink blusher so in that way it works in really well for me. So Susan claim to be a natural brand against animal testing. It's a really useful size so perfect for taking in your make-up bag. Sticking with the rose theme I think the products also contain different rose extracts which may be to do with the pigmentation but I'm not 100% sure on that. This is priced at £8 which I think isn't two bad considering you're getting four multi-purpose shades.
Tinties Lip Butter By Royal Apothic
I think that I'm most excited by this product - just look at the packaging it's gorgeous. For those of you who regularly follow my blog you will all know that I'm a big fan of Rose Gold - literally obsessed. This is a gorgeous coral tinted lip butter which I think will look amazing in the Spring/Summer. The good thing about tinted lip butters is that they provide a really nice subtle colour yet they are also more nourishing for your lips then a lipstick. You could wear this on it's own or if you wanted a more dramatic look then you could wear a lip gloss on top. I can see this becoming my everyday lip colour in the summer as it's an easy to wear bright, fun summer shade. These are individually priced at $14 dollars so pricy for a lip butter but this is of an amazing quality so if you're someone who would rather spend more and have fewer products yet the ones you own are of good quality then I would recommend that you have a look at getting one of these. If you're a fan of orange lips then you will love this one.
Love Hearts
The last little product in the box was a lovely and cheeky pack of Love Hearts. I can't remember when I last had these but they were a childhood classic and I forgot how much I loved the taste of these as I really like sherbet. So a big thank you to you Glossybox for my little sweet treat, I loved the Valentines inspired box and hold onto your socks kids, but this may have been my favourite box so far - crazy I know.
I hope you enjoyed reading this post my lovelies and I hope that whether you're single or all loved up you have all had a lovely day and evening. Let me know in the comments what you all got in this months box and if you have tried any of these products and what you thought of them.
