The Harrods Glossybox - A Review

Let's say I was pretty excited about the arrival of the March Glossybox. There was much hype over this special Harrods edition and so expectations were even higher than usual. The box arrived, this time in glossy white with Harrods branding embossed on the box lid. This opened up to reveal a classy black tissue package tied together with the trademark green and gold Harrods ribbon. Here is what I found snuggled inside...

And here comes a little lowdown on each of the March Glossybox's contents.

1. Ojon Damage Reverse Instant Restorative Hair Serum (25ml - this is full size and worth £16 - yay). Hair serums are like the holy grail when it comes to my course, thick and uber dry hair (too much straightening over too long). Finding good ones is pretty tough. I did like this product, applied to damp hair. It definitely added softness, however i did prefer last months Paul Mitchell Ginger hair oil much more as it not only smelled amazing, softened my hair, it also gave it a lovely gloss and was nicer to run my hands though.

2. Burberry Lip Cover Soft Satin Stain Lipstick in No. 04 Rosewood - This was actually quite a good neutral colour for me as my lips are naturally a bit darker. It has a lovely smooth texture and did not dry out my lips. I am into bright reds and pinks at the moment when it comes to lip colour so it's not going to come out too often, but is nice for those subtle days.

3 Fan Di Fendi Eau De Toilette perfume. 4ml - This has a really lovely refreshing, citrusy smell. Not one of those ones that smells ultra chemically or like bathroom cleaner but a subtle fragrance perfect for the Spring to be worn during the day. I love it! Its always nice to get a small perfume sample as it fits in your handbag and is just the thing for those little fragrance top ups throughout the day. 

4. Clarins Extra-Firming Body Cream 30ml - This is a decent sized sample and I do really get on with Clarins products. I have dry/sensitive skin and the face day and night creams from the February box have been quite simply amazing! I'll be honest I've not really tried this one yet but it smells good and from past experience, I'm sure it will be!

5. Erno Laszlo, The Hollywood Collection - I have to admit I was a little disappointed with this one as it looked like the kind of freebie that would annoyingly fall out of a magazine! However, reading the blurb on each sachet made me more interested. Apparently a brand much loved by the stars of the Silver screen (I'm suckered in at this point) with the likes of Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly and Ava Gardner all apparently fans, each of the different creams was custom made for their requirements. I should really try them all but I know they will be too expensive at the full price for me to use on a regular basis!

An interesting box, not bad at all. Can't wait for the next one!

Glossybox UK February - a little review x

It took a little longer than normal, but last week my February Glossybox finally arrived! I think that overall, I am pretty pleased with the contents. After seeing quite a lot of reviews slating this months box I had prepared myself for a bit of dissapointment. The highlight for me was definiely the Becca Beach Tint. This came in a full size portion of 7ml which actually retails for £20 so there's the box more than paid for in one hit (£12.95 per month subscription)!

The February box came in the classic pale pink box with black tissue, dusky rose ribbon and black tissue shaving providing the bedding for the lovely treats to nestle in.

Here are the five products I received:

1. Como Shambhala Invigorate Shower Gel to cleanse and energise the skin with oils of eucalyptus, geranium, lavender and peppermint. I really loved this, with a fresh scent which clung on for a whole morning.

2.  Dr Bronner's Magic 'All In One' Organic Hand Sanitising Spray (Lavender scent) 59ml. This is not something I use on a regular basis but does come in handy every now and then, particularly during festival season! The smell of lavender is deightful and it doesnt have that highly chemica smell associated with other products in this vein. Overall a thumbs up from me.

3. Paul Mitchell Wild Ginger Styling Treatment Oil 25ml. Again quite pleased with this one, smells gorgeous like posh ginger biscuits. I am a real hair abuser so this worked a treat on my dry, frazzled locks. Best applied to the mid hair and ends rather than roots to avoid that greasy feel. Also as you only need a teeny bit at a time, this should last me a while.

4. Becca Beach Tint 7ml. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! The perfect colour for me, this left a wam rosy glow on my cheeks and a natural rose tint to my lips. It also smells delicious, like strawberry ice-cream. Very pleased with this and so happy I received it in my box! 

5. BM Beauty Eyshadow in Her Majesty (pink shimmer). This alarmed me a little as pink eyehadow would result in a tired eyes look on me usually. However when applied to the skin there is only a hint of pink an a nice subtle golden shimmer so actually very usuable!   

I now can't wait to receive my special Harrods edition Glossybox, on it's way to me in the post as I type!
