November's Glossy Box

I'm not too wowed this month with my Glossy Box - seeing other people's posts, I was hoping for Philip Kingsley Elasticizer.  However, after I'd trecked down to the sorting office this morning (bemoaning the fact the postie is currently ignoring my parcel safe) I was a teeny bit disapointed that I didn't have the Elasticizer.

My box had the following products:

Arbonne FC5 Ultra Hydrating Hand Creme - I've not tried this one before, but I do like a good hand cream, so I'm looking forward to trying this out.

Dead Sea Spa Magik Dead Sea Bath Salts - I got some Dead Sea scrub sachets in my Glossy Box a few months ago as well.  I'm not really into baths, so I have a huge stash of bath products that never get used!  Perhaps I should set a new challenge to use them up???

Monu Recovery Balm - this looks like a facial moisturiser, and a full sized one as well - I'm looking forward to using it.  I do like to try out facial moisturisers, and this felt quite nice when I tried it on my hand.

Nail Rock Designer Nail Wraps - this is my second nail wraps product from Glossy Box and I've still not used the first one!  I like the leopard print pattern and I might actually try these out over Christmas.  I may get my sister to help me put these on at Christmas, as no doubt I'd mess it up if I try it myself.

Serge Lutens L'Eau Serge Lutens - I've not smelt this before, and I usually like uni-sex fragrances so this will be interesting to sniff.

Vitriol d'Oeillet Sample - Another one I've not smelt before.  I had a little spray of this when I opened my box and I really like it - I think it's a little like Prada Candy, but slightly more masculine which isn't a bad thing!

So the Arbonne hand cream, the Monu face balm and the Vitriol d'Oeillet sample are all thumbs up from me.  I will try out the nail wraps and the Serge Lutens fragrance and the Dead Sea bath salts will get added to my bathing stash and will eventually get used.

Not the best Glossy Box ever, but also not the worst!  What did you get in yours this month?

A Lovely Parcel from Glossybox

Today I've had a long, hard day - I got up at 6 to catch the 7.30 train to London to exhibit at a trade fair.  I was on my feet in heels all day, and I'm really tired. So it was a lovely surprise to come home to my first Glossybox, which I ordered a few weeks ago.  Look how pretty and beautifully packaged it was.

So did it live up to the hype?  What was the brand beginning with N with the most famous product beginning with O?  Was it Nars? Well, yes it was!

The products look fab.  There's a handy sheet explaining what all the products are, including a full sized Nars Orgasm Illuminator, All for Eve Eve Red Lipstick, Bionova Lab Bioactive Cleanser, Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Rapid Repair Spray and COMO Shambhala Invigorate Body Lotion.  

Here is a swatch of the Nars Orgasm Illuminator and the Eve Red Lipstick

For £10, I think this is a brilliant was to test out new products and find interesting niche brands.  I'm sure that the first box will be the best, but I'm looking forward to seeing future boxes as well.  I must say that the box it comes in is rather pretty too.  I'll be saving them up for using to wrap Christmas pressies and presents for my sister's wedding later in the summer.

Have you ordered a Glossybox?  Are you tempted?
