Hey Hey what do you say! It's Glossybox day

Today is the day when all beauty lovers of the UK get super excited! As today is the day the glossybox gets delivered!
If you have been hibernating for the past six months then you probably won't know what the glossybox is. If that's you keep reading!

The idea behind Glossybox is if you, like most women out there love high end beauty products that more often than not cost the earth but are disappointed when you have spent an obscene amount of money on one thing that ends up not suiting you. It's so disappointing!
The point of the glossybox is that every month for a mere 10pounds they send you a beautiful box with 5 high end beauty products, could be make-up nail varnish, toners, masks, cleansers etc... You will usually receive a full size item too (this month we received 2 full size items!) For you to try at your own leisure then once you have had a play with then if you so decide to go and buy the full sized item, but if it turns out it's not for you it's not the end of the world as you have 4 other products you can try out.
Also it's a lovely little treat to receive in the post every month! Now Bambino is around I don't have lots of cash to go and splash about on beautiful products so this is perfect for me!
If I'm totally honest the beautiful box it comes in and all the ribbon and tissue paper is so beautiful itself! Totally worth 10pounds to me! And you can re-use the boxes and things as they are far too nice to just chuck away!

This months box!



I received:
1. Dermalogica Age smart MultiVitamin Thermafoliant (Skin polisher) full size price 40.50
2. Dermalogica Age smart MultiVitamin Power Recover Masque Full size 33.00
3. Leighton Denny Expert Nails colour &care (Pale blue nail varnish) Glossybox sent us a full size bottle worth 11.00
4.Stila smudge stick waterproof eyeliner (in Moray) we received a full size eyeliner too! Worth 13.00
5.Robert Piguet Eau de perfums Full size worth 65.00

And because it was there 6th box we also received a Dermalogica beauty bag and Dermalogica Age Smart renewal lip complex! Bonus!

I have heard that some boxes can be a bit hit and miss but they are generally getting better and better as they are getting more established. You aren't tied into any contract you can stop the boxes whenever you desire!
I highly recommend it!

I understand this isn't a one off and that USA have been doing this sort of thing for a while and it is becoming very popular in the UK too, and there are many different companies offering the same sort of thing now also. I recommend if you are going to have a monthly beauty box of any kind you research the best one for you.
