OCTOBER GLOSSYBOX REVIEW!

Hi lovelies!
So a few days ago I received my October GLOSSYBOX in its usual pretty pink and black writing packaging with 6 beauty goodies inside (four of which were full-sized!)

So the first full-sized item I received was a lipstick ("lip cream" as its referred to) from the brand TRIFLE COSMETICS which retails for £12.95. Although the packaging is cardboard on the outside, I absolutely love the design! Its decorated with little cartoons of the ingredients included in the lipstick (I believe) such as papaya, passion fruit and guava, very cute! The lipstick is a pink-nude shade in quite a sheer formula which claims to mattify on the lips - your basic everyday shade (I think the shade name is "exotic fruits"). The only thing I'm not keen on is the scent of the product but I'm sure once its on the lips it won't be noticeable!

The second full-sized item I received I was the least impressed with. This was the PS.. Pro (PRIMARK's new 'pro' range of makeup) Longwear Lipliner which retails for £3.00 and is in the shade 'Red Carpet Red'. The colour itself is quite nice (a dark red) but when I applied it to my lips it was extremely patchy and spread like a felt tip meaning I couldn't line my lips properly. I will give it props for being "long-wearing" - I couldn't bloody get it off! However, I can imagine a lighter shade to be less patchy and it may be a good product to wear under lipsticks in that case.

The third full-sized item I received is the UNIVERSAL BEAUTY COSMETICS "Secret Flush" (a soothing cream blusher and lip stain duo) in the shade "Nectar" - a pretty peachy-pink with a slight shimmer. This product retails for £15.00. I love the spotty black and white packaging - extremely cute and its one of my favourite things we received this month! 

The fourth full-sized product in the box was the BEE GOOD Honey & Camelina Facial Exfoliator which retails for £10.50. The product claims to polish, hydrate and calm congested and dull skin - after trying this out myself, I can say that it is a really nice product! The scent of honey is very subtle which is nice and its also not too harsh on my skin with the added bonus of vitamin E packed in there. This was another of my favourite products!

The fifth product in the box was a "Magic touch" body cream from RITUALS containing rice milk and cherry blossom - the full-sized version of this product retails for £19.50 but the sample was a pretty good size anyway! This is everything I like in a body cream - a nice calming scent which is also fresh at the same time as well as being a moisturising formula
. 

The final thing in the box is a mystery product! The Mystery shampoo we received is said to be "a classical bestseller which has had an update"! Although I'm not sure on what this product is, it does smell very familiar (the scent is sooooo fresh and gorgeous) and it was everything that a good shampoo is meant to be!

The overall retail price of the 4 full-sized products in the box is £41.45 so when you only pay £10.00 for the box, that's definitely a brilliant deal (especially with two luxury sized samples). You can still get your hands on the October box I believe so if you're interested you can sign up to GLOSSYBOX here which will give you 20% off your first box!
Thanks for reading lovelies, I can't wait to share next month's box with you all!
