April Gossybox

I am lving this months Glossybox!

This box represents all things natural and organic, from the box it arrived in to the lovely goodies inside. Usually it comes in a black box with the Glossybox logo all over it but due to the natural theme, it came in just plain cardboard box. The actual glossybox inside has a papier mache / recycled paper style effect and is a pale greeny/beige colour. Last months Harrods box came a week or 2 earlier than usual so it seemed like a long wait for the April one - was definitely worth the wait though, here's what was inside..




YES! NURSE Protect your lovely hands hand cream: £5.45 for a 50ml tube - I love it when i recieve full size products (don't we all! lol)

-
AYUURI Natural body wash: £4.95 for 200ml - Thumbs up Glossy box for another full size product!! I'm not usually a fan of Rose scented products, i feel it's a scent for the more mature person. This however isn't as strong and actually smells really nice. I have enough bath and shower products on the go at the moment so i think i'm going to take this on holiday with me.
-
CAUDALIE Vinosource SOS thirst-quenching serum: £29.00 for 30ml - This is a 10ml sample, so considering this little tube is worth nearly a tenner, i'm definitely getting my moneys worth in this months box! It's not a product i would normally use so it may end up on my ebay in week or two

(visit their website to recieve a free travel kit when you spend £40)
-
♥ INIKA COSMETICS certified organic lip liner: £11.75 per liner: The 3rd full size product!! I don't really use lipliners, i may experiment with this or i may not, haven't decided yet!
(enter GBX0412 at the checkout to recieve 25% off when ordering on the INIKA website)
-
♥ FIGS & ROUGE Lip Balm £3.29 for an 8ml tin: OMG Glossy box - 4 full size products - wow!! I love this, i'm wearing right now and it is sooo smooth. On the card it says it's a lipgloss but on the tin it says its for lips, face and body! I don't feel it would last very long if you used it for anything other than a lipgloss so that's what i'll keep it as.

So, for a box of products costing £10 - there is £25.44 worth of full size products and then the Caudalie luxury sample worth almost £10... this is an excellent box!! - because the Harrods box was such a good one, i wasn't holding out for anything spectacular in this months box.. how wrong was i?!!
A massive thumbs up Glossybox, i am super happy! :)
