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
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
Awesome post! I am waiting for my box and was curious as to what was in it! thanks

I will definitely check your review ;) about palette not used yet just swatched so don't know how well it will stay on eye love dark shade it's like chocolate brown with tiny gold in it but light shade it looks like not much shadow there at all just big pieces of cream glitter so not very even application
DeleteI got the same products as you, except my lipstick was a bright red shade which I was very happy about! :)

Lovely lipstick colour it suits you well not bad this month :)
DeleteOh God, I finally got my box today and what a disappointment, I read all about these amazing boxes and was so excited. What I got was: A Helen E lipstick, the micabella eyeshadow, which I might use, the FAT CAT mascara (not happy about it at all) and then instead of a hairspray or shower gel, I got a lousy super tiny perfume sample from Narcisso Rodriguez,( which they give out for free in house of fraser) and another lousy tiny sample about 10ml or heating oil, which is in a bag, so only one application.....ah......my first box as well......your eyeshadow palette is so pretty. i never complain.....but i am supposed to receive a free paypal box as well....but that's no reason for being given a crap box!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for you I know is always gamble you'll get good or crappy one.
DeleteI hate parfum samples in boxes I'm so picky with my scents and they're never something I would use.
I know Mememe is very cheap brand so again nothing I would use myself.
Such a shame Glossy is not any more what it used to be about luxury products and very often include something not suitable with beauty profiles :(
