February Glossybox

Hey!
Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've got loads of posts planned, I just haven't been in the right mind set to put them up (If that makes any sense!)
Anyway, I'm back now haha.. with February's Glossybox - the valentine's edition. The theme this month was, as I said, Valentine's day & the called it 'Be mine' Here's what I got..
 First of all, I do like the way they've personalised this months box to make it represent Valentine's day more, even down to the pink bow instead of black!
 So first thing I saw in the box were these 3 Hair/Body samples. There pretty decent sizes by the company Giovanni. I got the leave in conditioner & styling elixir for dry & damaged hair, the Ultra moist super potion which works as a anti frizz serum, always comes in handy for my hair! Also, a Ultra sleek hair & body super potion. I'm looking forward to trying these out as I've never heard of this company so if I like it, it might be a new addition to my hair routine! Full size would be £7.99 for 251ml (Why the one?!)
 Next up is a nail varnish, I've received a Ciate nail varnish in a box a few months ago (Not that I'm complaining, because I love receiving nail polish) The colour is quite similar though, but this one is a slightly more deeper red where as the other one I received was more of a coral colour. This is in the colour 'Red Hot Chilli' and would normally be £9.
 When I first saw this next product, I thought the packaging looked really cute! It's by the company 'Nougat London' which is a British brand. This is their sparkling body shimmer, I'm not usually that keen on shimmers, although this does seem like a more subtle one, mainly used as a body lotion I assume. The packaging says Cherry Blossom but I couldn't really smell any scent in particular, nothing over whelming which is nice although, for a body lotion it does seem quite runny so I'll definitely let you know what I think of this once I've used it a few times! The full size of this would be £14 for 250ml.
 I was really excited to see this product in my box! It's the new 'Big Eyes' mascara by Maybelline. I've seen a few reviews on this as well as in the shops so was intrigued to try it out, so I'm really glad it came in this months box! (I love it when that happens! haha) It has two wands, one for the upper lashes and the other for the lower lashes. In the colour Black & is waterproof. The regular prize of this product would be £8.99
 The last product in this box was another full size one, by the brand NV colours. I recently saw this brand on twitter so was familiar with them, I've looked their products up on their website & also on Boohoo.. I was actually thinking of buying a few products to try out when I next got paid so was really pleased when I saw this in my box as I can now test this out & if I like this, I'm more than likely to order some other products from their range to try out! The colour I received is called 'Sugar Rush' which I love the look of, it's definitely a colour I would pick out for myself!
I believe this is a pretty new brand, so I'll write up a review on what I think once I've gave it a try!
A little extra gift this month! Glossybox also threw in this Lindt chocolate bar.. I'm not sure if this is just for the Valentine's edition or if their going to make it a new little thing each month but either way I'm not complaining! Sorry for the rubbish-y photo.. I thought I'd quickly snap it before I demolished it!

I really liked this month's box & felt like I got a lot for my money, they've definitely came back in full force after last month! I've also seen people receiving products different from mine, usually there's just one, but one post I saw had almost every item different.. But I'm really happy with what I got!
What did you think of this month's box?

    1. From all the boxes I've received so far, I've only really not been happy with one so that's pretty good I think, I'd definitely recommend Glossybox. It's a great way to try out some new products aswell :) xx

  5. You look like you've got a fair few nice bits. I used to love Glossybox but stopped getting it about a year ago as I kept getting samples in my box and got really frustrated with it. Danielle xx
