More Details

February’s GlossyBox has arrived just in time for Valentine’s Day. Naturally this month’s theme is all about love, and making yourself look your very best for the ‘big day’! Delivered by Hermes, GlossyBox is just £10 a month plus P+P, and offers a fantastic array of samples and full sized products.

My box includes:

  • Micabella Cosmetics Mineral Eye Shadow Shimmer Powder in shade Intelligence 94 1g (£14.95 for 2.5g)
  • Anatomicals You Need a Blooming Shower! 150ml (£5.00 for 300ml)
  • MeMeMe Cosmetics FatCat Lengthening Mascara 8ml (£7.99 for 8ml)
  • Sassoon Salon Sassoon Professional Illuminating Restore 30ml (£20.75 for 170ml)
  • Miners Cosmetics Lip Colour in shade Dreamer 4g (£3.99 for 4g)
  • Heart shaped lollipop (free)

Total value: £24.12

I’m really pleased with my box again. It’s only my second box, but I really like how the box is presented – the packaging is distinctive and contains a lovely pink box which holds all of the products. The pink box (this month with a printed bow on it!) is incredibly good quality and is perfect for keepsakes, although I reckon I’ll likely begin to use it for storing all of my different beauty products.

The products in this box are a great range and I’m really looking forward to trying out the MeMeMe FatCat mascara, although that may be because of my cat, Mish, who is affectionately referred to as ‘Fat Cat’! So far I have tried out the Micabella mineral eye shadow which is incredibly smooth and a really nice chocolate brown color. It’s slightly shimmery, but it’s a really versatile mid-dark brown shade. I believe you can use it with a wet brush to turn it into an eyeliner too. Fab! The Miners lipstick is a mature muted shimmery pink which looks good, but I’m not really one to wear lipstick. Oh, and the lollipop was super tasty!

Super happy again, although I might not use the Anatomicals shower gel/body cleanser as I don’t much like the smell of roses, and I may not use the Miners lipstick either. Both, however, would make lovely presents for family and friends. I am really pleased though that this box is worth over double what I paid for it, and includes 2 full sized products.
