APRIL GLOSSYBOX REVIEW!

Hey sugarplums! Hope you are all having/will have a lovely day today and thank you visiting my blog!

Let's get right into the review of this month's GLOSSYBOX! The box was the same beautiful, girly design as always - its no secret I love the design of the boxes, very pretty. The first product in the box was a set of STYLondon temporary white henna tattoos which retail for £5.99 on the stylondon website. I think these are a really nice addition to the box and they'll be perfect for summery occasions such as holidays and especially festivals! You apply them by cutting out the tattoo and placing a wet cloth over it on the area you want it to be for a few minutes. I don't think this is something I'd buy myself so its nice to receive it in the box.

The second product was an ESSENCE Mosaic Compact Powder which retails for £3.00 on the ESSENCE website. This bronzing powder is a mix of five different bronzing shades and I think it could look quite nice dusted over your skin when you have a tan. However, I don't usually buy ESSENCE products as I don't think the quality is very good - this isn't the worst product but it has slightly too much glitter rather than a subtle shimmer that I prefer. 

The third product in the box was the LEIGHTON DENNY Expert Nails Miracle Mist which is £12.00 and works to dry your nail varnish quickly. I absolutely love this as I'm so impatient when it comes to painting my nails and I always find myself fidgeting and ruining them. I think this is a genius product and I have not seen this type of product before in this spray-form. If this works as miraculously as it claims to, I think I would actually consider paying £12.00 for this as it would save me so much time and irritation painting my nails. I think this is possibly my favourite product from this month's box.

The fourth product in the box was a STUDIO 10 Brow Lift Perfecting Liner which retails for £22.00. Personally, £22.00 seems like a ridiculous price to me and I wouldn't have purchased this myself for that price! I'm not all too impressed with the eyebrow pencil anyway - I don't like the design of the product as you have to sharpen the pencil rather than it being a twisting liner. I don't think the brown shade which you use to fill in your brows is too bad but I find the 'highlight/lift' side to be too peachy-orange of a nude (for my paler complexion anyway). Its not a terrible product by any means but I don't think it is worth the price you pay.

The last product in the box was a sample (the rest of the products were all full-sized) of the Body Shop Oils of Life Intensely Revitalising Facial Oil which retails for £28.00. For some people that may be a ridiculous price which I completely understand, but for skin care I always find I am more willing to pay a higher-end price as looking after your skin is extremely important. I've wanted to try out this oil for a long time now and I think it is a brilliant sample to be provided in the box. It allows you to try out a more expensive product and then decide to buy the full-sized version rather than buying the full-sized version without being sure you'll like the product. The oil itself feels really moisturising and smoothing without being greasy and the scent is a slightly herby, fresh scent as oppose to a sweet scent. Brilliant!

The overall value of the full-sized product in the box was £43.00 and I really like that you get a sample of a facial oil which is nearly £30.00! I think the products in this box have been a little hit-or-miss but I am overall happy with the variety of products provided!
As always, thank you for reading this post and watching the video if you have done! I appreciate every single view and supportive comment I receive its really encouraging. 
Lots of love to you all,
