I know January is over now but I thought that late was better than never!
The first item I received in my January GLOSSYBOX was a sample size, NIP+FAB Kale Fix Moisturiser which includes ingredients such as kale (obviously), watercress, almond oil, shea butter & aloe vera - all ingredients which should really hydrate the skin in these winter months when skin tends to be drier! This product usually retails for £19.95 (now only £9.96 at BOOTS!) which is slightly pricier for a moisturiser but it is quite thick and intensely moisturising. The only thing I'm not keen on is the scent of this product - I'm guessing its the kale scent - and you can still smell it even after applying it to the skin so I'm not sure I would purchase this in the full size.
The second I received in the box was a full-sized eyeshadow from the balm in the shade "Matt Moskowitz" from the Meet Matt(e) Trimony palette - how exciting! I've always wanted to try out eyeshadows from The Balm but the palette retails for £39.00 at Debenhams so is a little pricey. I'm really impressed that they included this item in the box! The shade is a slightly purple-brown and the formula is velvety smooth so blends really easily - very happy!
The third item in the box was a full-size "Illuminate Milk Cleanser" from Unani which retails for £13.60. Although this is a good cleanser, it is very milky which I'm not too keen on even after using it quite a few times - I find that it maybe doesn't take off my make-up as much as I would like. I've also received a moisturiser from Unani in the past which was also very milky. However, I'm still happy with the product and it was a lovely addition to the box. I'm sure others would like this more as it isn't a bad product - just not for me!
The fourth item was a Vitamasques "Manuka Honey Face Mask" which usually retails for £3.99. I've received this type of sheet masks in the past and they really aren't my favourite - however, my skin is very dry lately and I think this product is going to be extremely hydrating and help me out with that. I also really like the packaging and "Manuka Honey" sounds like a very nice scent so I'm looking forward to using this on a pamper day!
The last item we received in the box was a "Deep Pore Cleansing Facial Brush" from Spa To You which usually retails for £6.99. I was really looking forward to using this as these types of face brushes seem to be really popular lately. However, as my skin is quite dry and sensitive at the moment, it was a little harsh and sore for my skin. Still, it cleaned my skin really well and I'm sure it would work well for others whose skin isn't as sensitive!
Overall, I'm really happy with this month's box and I think the products are perfect for this time of year when the winter weather has dried out my skin and it is in need of some pampering. Next month I hope to see more makeup products from GLOSSY and will update you on what I receive (at a much earlier time than this month!)
