June Glossy Box

Before i start this post, i would like to remind that this box was supposed to help me make my mind up if i want to be still subscribed or not... finally got an answer.

again cbox came very fast, but pisses me of the fact that i'm charged for this box up to three weeks porior o dispatch!!! I was at work - as per usual so my boyfriend was the one that received it. Again, i checked tweeter before even ot back home to open mine and this what i was make me laugh + this what i read - made me laugh even more- i will write about it in a bit, here is what i had this month.
the "amazing" content of the box...

Caudalie - again the brand that is featured in every single box, happy with the sample size, not sure about the smell although i like fruity fragrances such as lemon this one smells like....nothing i have triend or would try again...oh well, at last the size was bigger than 1.5ml of the lolita lempicka's samples from the previous box - i'm ok with that.


Twizers from HDbrows, never heard of that brand but another pair of twizers will defo come in handy, i'm little bit concern about it as the and edges are not straight and don't think they will remove all the unwanted hair etc. 

Ladies and Gentelmen, here you can witness the very high end sample we are paying for every month - it is own branded, goat hair, brush that smells horrendous! plus it says it is worth 15.00 pounds!!! FYI, this product was a freebie in the US box few months back - hahaha what a joke!!

BM bronzer, i have a very pale, procelain skin (i'm very proud of it) and i don't use product like that - you can read it on my beauty profile on glossy box, shame no one from GB team took the time to match the sample product to the custmers needs! that is really bad.

sample is soo small that the only brush i have to apply this with is a eye shadow one!haha kid you not! :|

Picture made with flash

no flash

Flash. I can't see myself using this whilst having a porcelain skin + having very oily skin, can you imagine that! LOL

i have no idea why this is upside down, any way, Vichy Dermabland starter kid, i was excited about it even tho i will b only using 2 shades tops! and even thos i don't have a scars or other marks of my face! I used the procelain shade ( as you can see) and it was a fail, it is hard to blend, and after few hours it stays visibly in the wrinkles so you look like an idiot with a bad make up. not sure if i will use it ever again.

I decided to UNSUBSCRIBE, always thought that glossy box was taking a piss in therms of a customer service but this box was a joke, sending me your own branded blush as a high end product worth 15 pounds! are you crazy?! i have set of brushes bought for 14.00 pounds and they are of a better quality than this one!! also o read about the Lucy's case - one of the workers from Glossy box was making a fun of her because she works in McDonalds and she was concern how they are going to pay for interships!! how unprofessional is that??!! No one has apologised to her + everyone is ignoring her like this has never happened.
Believe me you don't want to be subscribed to something that is simply not worth 13.00 every month + being treated like shit and being ignored - no one from glossy box has officially or even unofficially made a statement about the outrageous content of the boxes this month! Also the other case is - if you are a very popular blogger ou will get the best box if not - you are nothing and you will receive a pile of useless cra that you pay 13.00 for!!!!

SHAME ON YOU GLOSSY BOX! the word GLOSSY should be permamently banned from your name!!!

my very first JolieBox

I vlike the idea of receiving the beauty box once a month with a high end samples - i love cosmetics and was really struggling to find a new products that would satisfy me so i decided to subscribe to Jolie box, it is only 10 pounds per month + 2.95p&p.
here is what i have received:
from left: 
1 RMK Make base foundation
2 Organic Rose Moisturiser 
3 China Glaze Nail Polish - Silver/dark graphite
4 - Talika lipocils

As you can see from the picture above i've been already using it and guess what - it is amazing!! all you need is dwo drops on your finger palms and then to apply it on cleaned face after that you are good to go with you make up routine. Finish is long lasting + face looks very smooth - this is definately on my to buy list after i'm gettin paid! This brand is very new chence the high pricing and avaibility needs to improve.

i don;t use stuff like that but must say - smells very nice and makes your skin very smooth and moisturised.

Loads of Jolie box subscribers vere moaning about the quality of this product, apart from the colour that o have received - i have no other complains, i applied only two coatings and that lasted on my nails for more than a week without need to fill my nails or redoing them and that is after goind to work, doing house work etc.


Talica expert, product as per describtion should "make your lashes darker, more curly and thicker" been using that every now and then can't tell the difference, i might do the post where i will take a picture of my lashes everyday throughout the usage period of this product to see if there is any difference.
it is a little bit jelly, has no smell and is of a hand bag size.
Box also contains a Jolie Magazine where you can read about the featured products plus other cool stuff.
ps. i had a problem with my first box has i never received it so they sent me another one within a week...oh well, better late than never!! 

what did you received? were you happy?

Birthday Glossy box



I was extremely excited about the box, glossy box was about to celebrate their very first birthday, so everyone i guess was expecting something special...This time box was delivered super fast as it was despatched via one of the couriers- my boyfriend had to collect the box as i was at work when my box has arrived, either way managed to check tweeter as loads of people vere posting the pictures and  i simply couldn't wait.

here is what i had in my birthday box from glossy box:
ticket:
going from the top of the ticket: 
1. Summer Rising Bath & Shower Gel, I like product like that but only when they sell nice, this one was smelling like a tyical product for men, don't ask why is just did! but i used it straight away and must say that it did what is says - cleans your body (obviously!)
2. Two Perfume samples from Lolita Lempicka, i absolutely hate heavy floral smells and those two were exactly one of those smells when u think it is nice and then you just can't get rid of that smell - not going to buy or recommend it t anyone. on top of that you can get such samples for free from Boots etc - FAIL
3. Facial Mask - Express Beauty Mask from Apivita, i don't ise stuff like that but i tried this one and couldnt tell any difference.
4. Osmo Barber Oil - great product makes my hair very smooth and smells gorgeous - will be definately buying this as soon as my sample runs out!
5.False Eyelashes with glue - i have naturally long lashes and i on't use stuff like that but thought thati will give it a go...this did not work out well, first had a problem with making a right size and then when i finally managed to stick the lashes i was looking ridiculous so i took them off....well at least i tried as the glue stayed on my natural lashes and had a problem for three days to remove this crap!! I think i will have to get rid of this.
and last item:

glossy box own branded bag mirror - i have loads of those definately do not need one but might give it to my mum or a friend.

overall: It is hard for me to judge if i like glossy box products or not, there were boxes with more interesting stuff and i had a feeling that mine was one of the worst boxes in terms of the contents. My first box was organic that was ok i guess, then i had hight expectactions with this one and i feel disappointed again, if this will happen again i will have to unsubscribe. i heard that loads of people started to complain about the quality of the boxes...

what did u get in yours? were you happy?
