Glossybox review

My first ever Glossybox finally arrived!! 😁


For months, I have heard so much about Glossybox from friends and family to YouTubers and bloggers that I am fans off! As it's the start of a new year, I decided to subscribe to it and give it a go! For all of you who don't know, Glossybox is a beauty website you subscribe to and as a result each month you get sent a beauty box. There are different set payment plans you can choose but I chose to pay monthly (£10 per month) as it means I can cancel my subscription at any time. Each month in your Glossybox you receive 5 products which can either be make-up, skin care or hair care. What I love about this is the variety that you get sent! The products vary from niche, up and coming brands to drug store and high end. This means you will get the opportunity to try brands you'd never thought you'd try/maybe never even heard of! When signing up on the Glossybox website, you fill out a little profile about yourself about your skin type, hair type, make-up preferences etc and this information is used to help cater your box to your specific beauty needs.

In January's Glossybox, the 5 full size products I received were: 
~ MeMeMe Eye Liner Pencil in Clay £4
~ Nicka K New York Colorluxe Powder Blush €8.95
~ Jelly Pong Pong All Over Glow Illuminating Gel £10
~ Kueshi Natural & Pleasant Cosmetics Revitalising Face Toner €10.70
~ Naked Lips Organic Lip Balm Superfruits €5 

I also received 2 free gifts which were: 
~ Simple Kind 2 Skin Illuminating Radiance Cream 
~ Nails Inc Nail Polish in Bruten Street 



MeMeMe Eye Liner Pencil in Clay 
I literally had just ran out of kohl liner so this was a god send. During the day, I love wearing brown eye liner on my waterline to add some definition. The colour of this eye liner is a lovely dark brown which is really pigmented. The liner itself is really soft and creamy which means it is easy to apply to the lower lash line as well which is something I like to do when creating a subtle smokey eye. 

Nicka K New York Colorluxe Powder Blush 
The application of this blush is really interesting. The sponge is connected to the powder so when you press down on the sponge, the powder comes out. An appropriate amount comes out with each press but I feel like it does need blending in properly with a blush brush. I'm not really 100% sure with how I feel about this kind of application. The blush itself is a gorgeous deep pink and is very complimentary for your skin during the summertime. 

Jelly Pong Pong All Over Glow Illuminating Gel
I found the consistency of this gel really light which made it easy to apply and didn't feel like it clogged up my skin. It's a beautiful golden bronze which catches the light and has a natural glow to it. This product is oil-free which is amazing for someone like me who suffers from oily skin. I'd definitely take a look at more products by Jelly Pong Pong. 

Kueshi Natural & Pleasant Cosmetics Revitalising Face Toner
After cleansing my face in the evening/washing in the morning, I've been applying this toner to my face. It makes my skin feel extra clean, really soft and firm like I have a completely fresh face. This product contains natural products so is great to use on sensitive and spot prone skin. It helps to control the oily areas of your skin yet hydrates the dry patches which is perfect. I also love the fact that the liquid is pink, so pretty and girly. 

Naked Lips Organic Lip Balm Superfruits
I am a lip product junkie so this is right up my street! This balm is super moisturising and really nourishing. This product is 97% organic and 100% natural so is really kind to your skin. It's great for on the go use and is handbag friendly! The 'Superfruits' which create its flavour are blueberries, acai, goji, baobab and pomegranate so it smells good enough to eat! 

Simple Kind 2 Skin Illuminating Radiance Cream 
I use this cream in the morning and it leaves my skin feeling so smooth and soft! It adds such a lovely glow to your face which is perfect as that is what my winter skin seems to be lacking. 

Nails Inc Nail Polish in Bruten Street 
I love this nail polish, I'm a big fan of Nails Inc so I knew it wouldn't disappoint! The polish is really opaque so only requires two coats. Its a highly pigmented dusky pink colour which is gorgeous for the winter to spring transition. 

I absolutely love my Glossybox! Let me know your opinions of it!
