Glossybox UK - April 2013 Pearl Lowe Edition

Missing my monthly treat, I have signed back up to Glossybox so I can receive my surprise parcels yet again. Glossybox is a great find for anyone who loves quality make-up and skincare as you are able to trial both new and existing product from some top brands, including, Dior, Clinique, Essie and many more. Often there are organic, more natural products which I am always keen to try.

I was very excited when I found out that this April's box was a special edition Pearl Lowe collaboration. The box itself (which is always useful for storing, make-up, hair products, jewellery etc) is absolutely stunning with a Pearl Lowe designed floral all over pattern with a pretty peach background, definitely a keeper!

Also, the contents were great too, one of the best yet I'd say.

1. NIP + FAB Coconut Latte Dry Skin Fix Body Butter (sample size 50ml, £9.95 full size 200ml)
I really love this product, it smells delicious and the texture is rich and creamy. It feels so lovely on my dry skin and I would definitely recommend it. This is now half price on the website, great buy!

2. Essie Nail Polish in Sugar Daddy (full size, worth £7.99)
This is a very sheer polish which is great for those days when you want to be subtle. I would normally opt for a bright red nail varnish but I did like how this gave a lovely natural shine to my nails.

3. Yves Rocher So Elixir Perfume (sample size 5ml, full size £44 for 50ml)
This is quite an intense scent, but quite classy smelling. It comes in a lovely sturdy sample bottle so is great to carry about in your handbag when you feel like you need a freshen up. I probably would not opt for a full size, but perfume is a very personal thing.

4. A-Derma Lip Balm (full size, worth £7.95)
Gorgeous! This scent free lip balm has a wonderful, thick, non greasy texture, made with oat milk and works a treat on my dry, cracked lips. It is also full size which is a bonus too!

5. Sleek Make-Up Blush in Suede 921 (full size 8g, worth £4.49)
I have been wearing this all week and really love the colour, it is perfect against my olive skin. I would recommend this as a budget buy. The staying power was pretty good, although I wasn't too keen on the smell, to me it resembled the smell of dry poster paint, but at this price the look and finish of the blusher is pretty good.

So all in all this was a really good box with some great product, I am really happy I am back on the Glossybox and am already excited about what will arrive in May.
