Glossybox February 2013 Valentines Edition


Glossybox February 2013 Valentines theme box

To start with I must say  for the first time Hermes surprised me with speedy delivery! 
Box has been sent out just yesterday evening too early to track yet and what a surprise got delivered early morning!

Now let's concentrate on the box and content
What a lovely design pink with printed flower bow cerise ribbon and pinkish filling much different than usual.




This month I got:

Micabella Cosmetics-Mineral blush powder in Siera Suede 
Modelco-Eyeshadow palette in Bronzed Godess 
Helen E Cosmetics-Lipstick in Raspberry
Anatomicals-Blooming shower
Docteur Renaud-Raspberry cream




Micabella Cosmetics-Mineral blush powder in Siera Suede 
This product has sneak peak on Glossybox Facebook just before box was sent out  with many good reviews and some bad as well I must say never tried this brand before and I do use minerals so I will test it. 
Siera Suede is warm peachy bronze colour as far as I like a little bit more sparkle in blush this  it will be good for more natural look 
Provided 0.8 g  value around £3 pot full size 9g for £34.95




Modelco-Eyeshadow palette in Bronzed Goddess 
Known brand for me tried some other things from them before and available to buy in Boots.
In box eye shadow duo in Maldives & Jamaica value around £12 as full size product is eye shadow trio and cost £18 


Helen E Cosmetics-Lipstick in Raspberry
British brand I know it as well and have some products  already maybe is not brand I will normally buy I don't see package will last long as feels rather cheep and plastic but lipstick feels nicely creamy and they do have decent products.Got in Raspberry which in real is more like burgundy plum than raspberry pink.
This is full size 3.5 g value £8


Anatomicals-Blooming shower
Now to start with I'm not a fan of this brand at all as in my opinion packaging is rude and products are cheap and not good quality this is blooming shower rose body cleanser smells rosy enough light pink in colour probably will use it at some point 
In box 150 ml worth £2.50 full size 300 ml £5



Docteur Renaud-Raspberry cream
Last but not least Docteur Renaud again brand I'm familiar with it's french pharmaceutical brand available to buy in M&S Raspberry Soft Cream Limited Edition particularly suitable for normal to  dry-prone skin.
Love the smell,not sticky or shiny,smooth on skin and provide good level of moisture.
Generous size 30ml worth £15 full size 50ml  £25



Bonus treat Glossybox heart shaped lollipop.



Overall inside box  just over £40 but is about the content and in this month I'm happy with almost all products  sizes are generous at least definitely will use them all!

If like me you're keen to know what other boxes provided I've seen from Micabella selection of colours in blushes and eyeshadows as well,selection colours of Helen E  and Miners Cosmetics lipstics, MEMEME illuminators,
Balance Me Rose Otto body cream,Figs and rouge lip balms and Narciso Rodrigues L'eau samples.








just to clarify all my opinions are honest 
none of the companies paying me for my reviews
I'm just regular Glossybox subscriber and I do pay for my boxes
