First post! - February Glossybox!

So this was my first ever Glossybox after deciding to try them out after hearing and reading about them on youtube and blogs. I was so excited about its arrival that I practically ripped the lid off to have a look.

here is what I got-

The gorgeous packaging!

Amazing presentation of the box.

                   
















                                   

Awapuhi by Paul Mitchell , wild ginger treatment oil- 

The description of this product was "Absorbs easily imparting a soft, silky texture and rich shine effect" and to be honest the smell and texture of the product was lovely. It smells of ginger as the name suggests and has a nice, not to watery texture similar to that of Morrocan oil. But once I used it on my hair I found made my hair feel quite heavy and look really greasy and unwashed. I dont think I would buy this product again as it is £25.95 for the full size product which I think is quite expensive for what it does.

                                                  Doctor Bronner , lavender hand sanitiser-
This is a simple fresh smelling and light non sticky hand sanitiser. It smells quite strongly of lavender but if you don't mind that it is a nice product to have. I have carried it in my bag to use while on public transport and in the doctors office, and it does what it is supposed to; freshens up your hands and prevents bacteria. I would recommend this product and probably purchase it again as it is a nice alternative to the standard smell free hand sanitisers and is a good price at £3.99 for the full size.

                             
                                                  Como shambala , invigorate shower gel-
I haven't yet got around to using this product, but I had a good sniff and squeezed a blob onto my hand to feel the texture. It has a lovely menthol/ peppermint smell so I think it would be a great morning shower gel as it would perk you up! And the texture is nice and thick so I think it would form a good lather. The full size bottle of 300ml is £20.00 which I think is a little steep for a shower gel, and I think I could find a nice alternative from philosophy or the body shop.

                                     BM beauty mineral eyeshadow in the shade, storm cloud-
I was looking forward to trying this out when I received it in the box, but once I applied it I thought it wasn't too great. The colour looks like a gorgeous greeny, olive sort of grey if that makes sense but once it is on the colour doesn't show very well and is very sheer leaving more of a glitter on the eye. I personally don't think I would repurchase this and use it on its own but I might use it in the future over other colours for a little bit of subtle sparkle.

                                                     BECCA beach tint, watermelon-
Now this I absolutely love! I was so excited to try this out as I know becca is a good make up brand and have excellent products... And it was full size! This is a lip and cheek tint in a deep pinky/ reddish colour I will do a swatch below, it has a great texture and I found it non sticky and long wearing it is very lightly scented and smells and tastes of watermelon (theres a surprise). This is a product that I will definitely use and repurchase in the future, although it is £20.00 for 7ml a little goes a long way and it is a perfect summer product as it is very light and great if you will be in the sun or in the water.

I hope this wasn't too dull for a first post and I apologize for any bad lighting in the photos as the light wasn't great.
