I'm not going to lie, I am getting a bit bored with the whole beauty box thing. I almost cancelled my Glossybox last month due to some pretty poor customer service but the only thing that stopped me was finding out that the March box was another special edition. This month, Glossybox have teamed up with Harrods to put 5 luxury branded items in to their box.
In place of the usual Glossybox logo sticker and pink ribbon, there was a Harrods sticker and Harrods' signature green and gold ribbon.
The 5 luxury samples in the box were:
♥ Narciso Rodriguez For Her Eau De Parfum (1ml)
Quite a heady scent, not 100% my cup of tea but I think it's a grower. It reminds me of something but I really cannot put my finger on it. Any ideas?
♥ Burberry Lip Cover Soft Satin Lipstick (0.3g)
I think Burberry is one of those brands that I'd always sort of avoided but I have to say this lipstick is gorgeous! I'd definitely give the brand a second look when it comes to cosmetics.
♥ YSL Forever Youth Liberator Serum (5ml)
This is one product I'm not really sure I'd use. I'm not really a serum person. Let me know if you're a fan and if they've benefitted your skin :)
♥ Molton Brown Heavenly Gingerlily Moisture Bath & Shower Gel (50ml)
I love the scent of this! I've really gotten into Molton Brown lately and I would love to try more of their products.
♥ Clarins Extra-Firming Body Cream (30ml)
Clarins is another brand I've come to love over the past year or so and this is a product I haven't come across before. I can't help think this is a gimmicky item though. Do these extra-firming creams actually work?
L-R: YSL Forever Youth Liberator Serum, Burberry Lip Cover, Clarins Extra-Firming Body Cream

Have you received this month's Glossybox? What did you think? Are you getting a bit bored of the beauty box trend now?
I haven't received this months, but I hope I do. I've been pleasantly surprised by Glossybox recently and I was super excited for this month's box mainly because I'm a huge Molton Brown fan! Haha x
ReplyDeleteI think it's a pretty good box this time. I find some of them a bit hit and miss. I'm starting to love Molton Brown too! xx
DeleteI've always watched from a distance with beauty boxes. If it was just makeup I'd sign up without a doubt, but I'm so fussy on skincare that a lot would go to waste.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I find a lot of the skincare products just end up not getting used. I really wish there was just a makeup box, that'd be fab xx
DeleteI have never been mega into these beauty boxes but this one looks fab, really want it now xx

It's definitely a good box this month xx
DeleteI got my box this morning and I'm really pleased with it!
ReplyDeleteI got the Burberry lipstick too in the colour "Rosewood" I also got Fendi perfume and the Clarins body cream ...... not had chance to sample/sniff anything yet though! ;D xx
I've only swatched Rosewood but it looks beautiful. I do like a nudey/brown lip. Oo lovely! xx
DeleteTotally agree about the Clarin's being a sort of gimmicky product - i passed that one on to my mum along with the serum! I'm disappointed that GB seem to provide the skin firming products etc which i don't feel i need so i decided to end my subscription this month. Saying that, i loved the perfume and lipstick! xxx
ReplyDeleteYeah same here, it would be better if it was aimed at a younger market but saying that, it would depend on Glossybox's demographic xx
