Glossybox November 2011

Well its finally here! I finally got my GB today. It felt like Christmas :) Was the wait worth it?..... you decide!

My daughter couldn't wait to see whats in the box

For those that don't know, Glossybox is a service that you pay $14.95 per month and get sent 5-6 deluxe samples of skincare, hair care and make up.
The good thing about this box is that it has something for everyone. Make up, skincare, nails, body and even something to eat while you play with your new products.

In no particular order

Mirenesse 3D Forever Lip Gloss in Blow (full size)
When I first saw it, I have to admit i was a bit disappointed. It's VERY dark in the packaging. It looks like a browny red. Luckily when I put it on my hand it became a beautiful plumy mulberry colour. It's very moisturising and goes on a bit sheer. All of their lip glosses I've tried previously has been quite bright or sparkly. I like that this isn't. It has just enough colour but it's perfect for an understated look.

Bio Oil (60ml)
Nearly everyone has used bio oil before. As a teen I loved it. I haven't used it lately, but am planning on using this one either in my bath, or in a foot bath to relieve dry feet and make them soft again after being neglected in winter.

Bobbi Brown Cleansing Oil (15ml)
This is a great size for travelling (and you can easily refill it too!). I had already recieved one of these in the primped Look Book goodie bag. Its ok, but some people (including me) have found that it can make them break out, so i only use it if I have on heavier make up.

Essie Nail Polish in "Super Bossa Nova"
This is a beautiful hot pink from their collection that is inspired by the beauty of brazil. It is very bright and summery. Perfect for a BBQ or for the beach. Ive never used Essie polishes before so I was excited to get this. It goes on really easily and it dried very quickly. I'll have to get some more colours from them :)

Jurlique Purely Age-Defying Ultra Firm and Lift Cream (5ml)
I LOVE Jurlique products. Even though I'm a bit too young to need age defying products, I might use this as a night cream. This is good to use if you want firmer skin, with less wrinkles and lines. Now one thing i was a bit annoyed with was that the box came with a Jurlique card that offers you 15% off storewide. The catch is it can only be used at Jurlique stores, and is valid until 30th November, 2011. Today is the 28th November. I know that the boxes were delayed, so this is why there is barely any time to redeem it. Which is a shame, as I would have used it! :(

And lastly, pink jelly beans :)


What did you think of the box? If you didn't get one, are you tempted to sign up for the December box?
