My new and very unfriendly Hermes lady delivered my Glossybox this morning. When I opened this, I was in a SUPER awful mood because I was still asleep when she came. In my terrible mood, I opened the box of disappointment. Honestly guys, I know all I do is complain about Glossybox and you're probably wondering "b#tch, just quit that Sh!t" and I am or will.... because as everyone has noticed the quality of the contents of the box has been declining monthly.

Vita Liberata Latte Illuminating Skin finish - deux sachets.
Ok, I'm not exactly sure what this is... Highlighter? Bronzer? Tanning lotion? In the description it tells me to apply all over my face with sweeping motions and that it washes off with soap and water. WHAT IS THIS?! I'm going to go with wash off tanning lotion, like that Rimmel crap you can buy. I'm not going to use this because I am super pale and will no doubt have pastey neck.
So I got two samples and that equates to about £2.99 each (full size 30ml for £29.95)
Monu Illuminating Primer
I LOVE MONU products. Not so much the ones Glossybox has sent me but the ones I have chosen and purchased myself. I don't however use primer but this stuff comes out a bit shimmery when rubbed in, so I might try this as a subtle highlighter.
Sample worth £9.98
Katy Perry Killer Queen
I am a perfume snob. So apart from not appreciating receiving perfume samples, I double hate when it's a celebrity one. When I sniffed this, it was reminiscent of something. It smells like my Victor & Rolf Flowerbomb! Ok, initially it smells like flowerbomb, it does develop to something a bit different but still not unpleasant. I purchased V&R Flowerbomb for like over £60, so if you're looking for a dupe which you don't mind hiding in a drawer... you're looking at KP's perfume.
Sample worth £0.87p
Premae Multi-Vit Smoothie Serum
This serum is for combination skin types but the mention of the astringent sounding lemongrass oil seems to me, it's more suitable for the oily-er girls. Not for me I'm afraid but will be passed on to my mother.
Sample worth £9.00
Me Me Me Cherub Blush Cheek and Lip Tint
I'm not sure what shade I got but it does appear to be much darker and more purple than my Benetint. Too be honest, it swatches and smells very similar but I don't generally use my Benetint, so probably wont find much use for this either.
Full size £5.50
And that's all folks!
Ohh we got a similar box but I got some argan oil instead of the bronzer/illuminating sachets, whatever they are. I'm happy with mine, but seems you're a bit unsure?
ReplyDeleteI was a bit uncertain about the perfume too, but didn't think it smelt like V&F's Flowerbomb, especially after it dried. It smelt slightly like one of my Dad's aftershaves which was a bit disconcerting!

Hiya Kath,
ReplyDeleteI've just had another sniff of both perfumes and can still smell the likeness (maybe the ph of my skin has developed it into a different scent than yours). V&F is a little lighter and less musky than KP's, so I can definitely see what you mean about it smelling more masculine.
You're right, I'm not too happy with this months box selection. It feels month after month, only the same circle of brands are featured. I'm starting to build a large stick pile of Glossybox items!
I got exactly the same. One word - cancelled!
ReplyDeleteMe too Kerry. I've just signed up to Birchbox. If you are a new subscriber, you get three goodies including and small o.p.i polish and a lipstick. Might be worth checking out :)
DeleteBox of disappointment, haha! I love it :) So true
