My first GlossyBox came in the post today! I was a little over excited, but after all the hype, controversy and disappointment that’s been circulating around these boxes over the last couple of months I just wanted to rip it open and see what was inside!
GlossyBox we're very lucky to get such a great full sized product like the Nars illuminator into first box, which attracted most people in, but I think it’s also worked against them now as every new box is undoubtedly going to be compared to that first. I still think it’s a great concept though and I'm pretty sure people will be kicking themselves after cancelling their subscriptions.
I was a little gutted I didn't get the mini Xen-Tan that I've seen in a few other people's boxes (if anyone wants to swap something for it, let me know!) but overall, I'm pretty happy. Love the colour of the nail varnish from Ciaté, one of my favourite brands and totally surprised to see the full sized Illamasque pigment in there which at £15.50, makes up for a whole box and a half!
I think the great thing about GlossyBox, and probably its main aim, is to help people discover new brands and products that they wouldn't usually look into. So instead of trying to bag something well known and expensive for cheap, I think we all need to enjoy the products that we're given and hopefully, fall in love with them all! And anyway, who doesn't love to get a mystery box full of treats every month!?
So, what did everyone else get in theirs?
I reaaally want to start buying these!

great stuff this time:) the nail varnish colour is nice! x
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to get my first box in August, I hope it's just as good. I will be gutted if not. I placed my order in like June and have been waiting forever! Come on August.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about cancelling it though straight after because firstly, I only really wanted to try one, I can't really afford £10+ a month and secondly because they've added delivery to the price which I thankfully skimmed it with my August box.

This looks amazing - I wish I'd cancelled my box a month later than I did! Looking forward to my Boudoir Prive box though!
