February the month of love or not in my case ♥
Glossybox is my monthly obsession from the minute they send me the email to confirm the withdraw to the minute the lovely courier lady arrives to the door I am filled with excitement as to what the beautiful box will have in store.. I am usually pleasantly surprised with the products, as they're products what I wouldn't usually pick up but still love them (which I guess is the aim of the box: to try new products) this month was no different but instead of being pleasantly surprised I was just surprised by the box, not the best choices Glossybox NOT the best choices...
The packaging of the valentines boxes are always beautiful and this year was no different beautiful baby pink with a Barbie pink ribbon really got me in the mood for valentines day, but the products encased really didn't.
First item plucked from the box was an interesting shade of lipstick by the brand Helen E cosmetics, sparkly brown. WTF was my exact thoughts. I'm sorry but isn't valentines day about reds and pinks not brown.. I was really disappointed, I would never think of wearing brown sparkly lipstick, but thought I should give it a go before any hasty decisions were made. As I applied it to the lips, the formulation was very nice admittedly but the colour was just weird and made me look like I had dreaded 'concealer lips'. I hated it and also after a while the formulation began to separate and push to the outer lips. I really hated it.

Next was a Eyeshadow Duo by the brand Model Co in the shade Bronzed Goddess, I had heard of this brand before so had some presumptions. The colours looked really nice in the pan a gorgeous Golden beige and a shimmery brown. Plain and simple exactly how I like it. So as I tried to pick up the colour on my eye shadow brush it had good colour pay off and looked beautiful on the lid. The golden colour was perfect as a highlight because it was soooo shimmery, and only gave a hint of colour. The Glossybox had gained some points I must admit. I loooooveeee this eye shadow. Verrry shimmery I just add and I may not use the brown all that much but the golden colour is my new addiction.
Next up was a Anatomicals Body cleanser, I had actually tried this product before and I loved it, so I was glad to get another bottle. It is branded as a rose smelling body wash/cleanser but tbh I can't really smell the rose (it might just be me) but I genuinely thought it was unscented when I first used it. None the less it's a good all round product, just a shower gel really. Does the Job.
Last up was a Hydrating crème from the brand Docteur Renaud, firstly the smell is divine!! Pure raspberry heaven. The formulation however is very thick which is good for dry skin but for my slightly oily/normal skin not hat good. I used it last night and it felt claggy on my face, I prefer serum textures on my face so it might just be my preferences but honestly I would re-purchase this product just for the smell. I love it. Wouldn't recommend it for combo to oily skin though.
Overall this months glossy box was very random, I enjoyed some of the products but others were terrible. I'm praying next months is better. :D I did love the lolly though, very nice touch G.B
