It’s that time of the month again to take a peek inside the latest UK Glossybox*. This month’s box contains a nice mix of makeup, skincare and haircare products.
Let’s start with the only product in the box that I don’t like – the Beauty Pro Black Diamond Black Peel-Off Mask (£4.95 for 3). This actually went straight in the bin without me trying it as I don’t agree with these intense peel-off masks that you see all over YouTube. They are really bad for your skin. They are cult now though, so I can understand if you want to try it out. Please don’t put it all over your face through. Just paint a strip over your nose and/or your chin.
Another skincare item in the box is a sample size of the 111Skin Space Defence Bright Eye Lift Gel (full size worth £110). I love this brand as I use their sheet masks a lot. I was really keen to try this eye cream and I love it. The texture is light, so it’s a great morning option. It’s designed to reduce the appearance of dark circles, decrease puffiness and minimise the appearance of fine lines. This is a great opportunity to try out a very expensive product before investing in the full size.
The final item for skin in the box is a hand cream – the Eness Cosmetics Argan Oil Nourishing Hand Cream (worth £6.50). I’m not overly keen on the scent of this, but that’s just personal preference. It feels luxurious, absorbs nicely and isn’t greasy. You also get a good amount, so it will last you a long time. Plus, it’s packed full of nourishing oils.
Onto makeup, I was excited to see a Sleek MakeUP product that I haven’t tried. Their Power Plump Lip Crayon in Notorious Nude (worth £5.50) is full size. It’s a soft, balmy-textured, decently pigmented lip crayon that has temporary lip plumping capabilities. Expect it to tingle (a lot!) when doing its work. This is a really pretty nude shade that will suit most people.
The other makeup item in the box is a pink-toned liquid illuminator. The sample size Manna Kadar Cosmetics Sheer Glo (full-size worth £22.50) has a really pretty pearlescent finish that really reflects light and gives serious glow. I think it works best mixed in with foundation, but you can dab it over your cheekbones too for a dewier look.
Finally, there’s a full-size Batiste hair product in the box. The Batiste Stylist Shield My Locks Heat & Shine Spray (worth £4.49) is a gorgeous product. You spray it over dry hair before heat styling with the likes of straighteners and curling tongs. It protects up to 230 celcius and gives your hair a lovely shine too.
