After what feels like months of anticipation (but was actually only a fortnight or so…) my Glossybox finally arrived this morning, and fell into my grubby little paws when I got home.
Now I’m sure you are aware of the GlossyBox, after all, it seems to have taken over my twitter timeline several times over the last couple of weeks. But for the uninitiated GlossyBox is a £10 a month subscription service which sends you a box of five “deluxe” sized samples… the kind you’d usually get as a gift with purchase, rather than the crappy little sachets the counter ladies sometimes begrudgingly give you if you offer to sacrifice your firstborn and remortgage your house ask very very nicely.
So here’s a few Piccys;
First thing that stands out about the GlossyBox is how lovely the packaging is – Its like recieving a lovely gift… With love from me to me!
So, packaging aside… whats in the box then? I’m sure you have already seen this on twitter and many other blogs but here ya go!
So thats a full size (30ml) tube of NARS Orgasm Illuminator, worth £21.50, an All For Eve full sized lipstick in “Eve Red”, worth £12.50, a 4ml sample of Bionova bioactive cleanser (admittedly small, but more than made up for by the two full sized products I feel), a 25 ml pump bottle of Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Colour Hold Hair Repair Spray, and a 50ml bottle of Como Shambhala Invigorating Body lotion. Not bad for £10… Lets hope future boxes live up to the same standard, as GlossyBox have set the bar high for themselves!
So, as you may be aware if you’ve been following GlossyBox on twitter or through blogs, or on their YouTube channel, the first box was a sell out, so if you missed out on this first box, but you want one, then you’re in luck! Basically shortly after I subscribed to the service I was contacted by GlossyBox offering me a sample box to review – I sensed an opportunity for a giveaway and GlossyBox were happy to agree.
So if you missed out and fancy a box of your own, than leave me a comment telling me you want the box below, and I’ll draw the winner at random a week from now (Midnight on Thursday 26th May) and announce it on here, so be sure to check back! *UK ENTRIES ONLY PLEASE!
If you want to order your own GlossyBox, you can do so HERE.
Disclaimer – I purchased the box shown in this post myself via a subscription to GlossyBox UK, the giveaway prize is a PR sample. The winner will be sent this free of charge by myself.












Ahhh that’s amazing! For a tenner?? I completely missed all the goss on these somehow!
Also I’m really confused, I’ve been reading your blog for ages and I’m sure I followed you months ago but it somehow didn’t work, how bizarre

i must be the only one not to have heard glossybox , this seeems to be great as you get good brand products to try without paying the full price, so worth the £10, this box had great products my fave would be the nars product but the others are great too
would love to win this as i have not tried any of the products
thank you
I’ve signed up for June but would love to win May! x
I need this! Amazing giveaway! Thank you! x
Wow, I’d love to win this! Glossybox seems like a great deal but I can’t afford to commit to it sadly
I think I must have been living under a rock as I’d never heard of BeautyBox before it started being reviewed on blogs. I’d love to be entered for this giveaway as I’ve wanted that lipstick for ages and am kicking myself for not being able to buy one myself
I would love to win this! Please enter me
Thank you!x
I’d love to win this! Just in the nick of time too!
