GlossyBox April- Review

Knock, knock... This month Glossybox has knocked on my door, full of great goodies the review comes a bit later than expected this month.


Caudalie, Vinosource. (Sample size)
This is an S.O.S thirst quenching serum and it has indeed a super light weight formula, it comes more into a serum as you spread it onto your skin. As with all serums I find the skin feels a little bit taut after the application but after using it for a few days I feel that my skin is more moisturised for sure.

Monu, Spa Hand and nail cream. (Travel size)
A nice 50 ml travel size, ideal to carry around on your handbag. It contains lavender and lemon essential oils and therefore has a really pleasant smell. Good moisture as well, not like some creams that when you apply and your hands feel dry quickly.

Phillip B,  styling hair gel. ( sample size)
I haven't used this yet and I am not sure if ever will.  The styling gel maybe ideal for those who want a sleek hair style, or as recommended by the manufacturer it can also be used as a root lift, before blow-dry. This actually would be more suitable for me, who lacks body in their hair but I much prefer to use a spray for that. I think the get could be quite messy, plus I have the impression that it could look like dandruff on the scalp, after blow drying, if not applied properly.

Figs & Rouge, lip balm. (Full size)
I fell in love with this lip balm even before I opened the package. This is such a charming tin so pretty and vintage looking. The lip balm itself is also organic and it's very refreshing. I say refreshing because the flavour I got was peppermint and tea tree, which is meant to have antibacterial properties. I liked it and I would like to try something different next time, maybe coco and vanilla, sounds great, huh?

Inika, organic lip liner. (full size)


A close up of the organic lip liner. It's a great colour, really natural and very similar to the ones I used to buy ages ago. On the picture it came out a bit darker than what actually is, it also has a little bit of gold (colour) in it, which I don't mind.
Please excuse my nail in that picture,  never underestimate the power of macro!


This month was also GlossyBox first anniversary, my wishes to Glossybox is another year full of success, full of great goodies for us too.

See you soon.
