Glossybox October Unboxing

I love this Pop Art edition for Glossybox October and there were four different colours that were sent out. I love this pink coloured one that I received.  Glossy no longer send a magazine or product card out in the box anymore as it is all online now. I think this is great for saving the environment but I've got used to looking at my little card to read about the products contained inside.

I've received my last two boxes since moving promptly and I'm really happy with them but unfortunately still haven't received my August box even after many e-mails and calls. 

Here are the contents of my box this month and I like what's contained inside.

First up is this Yves Rocher, Quelques Notes d'Amour perfume. This perfume is a little too mature for my taste but I'll still wear it for work everyday. It's a decent sized sample so it will last quite a while too.

I received a full sized Ciate Paint Pot in black which is perfect for Halloween or as a sophisticated monochrome look to pair with black and white. 

I received a So Susan Flutter mascara which is full sized too. I love wearing mascara as it really opens my eyes up so it's great that I've received another one to use. I loved Jelly Pong Pong products and this is the same company. I wouldn't necessarily purchase this product after it's run out as it's too expensive.

I'm excited to try this Nuxe mask out. I've got more into face products just recently and probably because I have so many to use up. I like the sound of Creme Fraiche as it sounds good enough to eat.

 This Rimmel BB cream will be handy to use too and it contains SPF 15 which is a great property to be included. The shade may be a little too light for my skin tone though.

Finally I received this Etre Belle lip peel which I don't really feel to keen on using. I don't like the thought of skin peels. Is this just me? Probably because I've never used anything like this before.

I think that's it a high quality selection of products this month and this is one of my favourite box designs to date. I do still enjoy getting a box of beauty products through the post every month as it's exciting.

My favourite products this month are the Nuxe and the mascara.

Birchbox November Unboxing 2013

 Here is my unboxing for my Birchbox beauty box and my first thoughts about the products contained inside from this month.

I really loved last months box and was impressed with the amount of contents inside compared to the October Glossybox.

On first impressions this month is not one of my favourites as I just seemed to have received lots of little samples which I know it is supposed to be a sample box but I feel something is lacking this month. I've got my fingers crossed and have kept my subscription because I'm hoping that the Christmas one will be special but after than I'm not sure if I will keep it or not.

My beauty boxes seem to have all arrived at once this month and I like to get them up as soon as possible on my blog so they all appear more or less at once.

This month the theme for Birchbox is 'Icons' and getting motivation to be the best possible versions of ourselves.

 All of my items were contained in a little drawstring bag again this month.

 The cards that are included give ideas, quotes and tutorials and are instead of the original magazine. I do like the presentation as it is clean lined and professional even though I am a girly girl.

 Weleda is a really great brand and I have used their products before which I got from The Vitality show. This will be perfect for my hair and I'm looking forward to trying it out. Full size would be £8.95.

 

Laura Mercier body butter- Ambre Vanille £26 if it was the full sized product.

This is a great brand which  many people were looking forward to receiving. I received mine in vanilla which is one of my favourite scents. I can't wait to use this as I love body butters.

 

 This is an extra in the box and it's a Birchbox pencil sharpener at £3 which is not exciting but a necessity especially if you don't have twist up products.

 This was really difficult to photograph as the light reflects and makes the font look unclear.
English Laundry Signature For Her Eau de Parfum from £16. This has musk inside it which I don't like but I spritzed it on my wrist and it smells really lovely and reminds me personally of Juicy Couture with a kick.

 Spa Find Sculpted Silhouette Intensive Bust Firming Extract Serum £26
This can be applied to bust, decollete and neck and is said to boost collagen production, repair sun damage and improve tone and firmness.

 Pukka Herbs selection of teas £2.29

The three cinnamon smells gorgeous as I love cinnamon. I like receiving these as I love food and drink and these add a little twist and they are given in the box as a lifestyle extra.

 Chella Highlighter Pencil £15.95

On first impressions I wasn't really fussed about this however I will get good use out of it to brighten and add glow to cheekbones and inner eye corners. I've not heard of this brand before and it's expensive so I hope it's a brilliant product.

Did you receive the same as me?

I think I'm  not as keen this month because there's not really anything fun inside. My favourite products are the Laura Mercier body butter and the Weleda shampoo.

After seeing all of the products for the second time I have actually warmed to it more.

Miss Glossy Box Unboxing Nov/ Dec 2013

Hello <3

My Miss Glossy arrived yesterday and it was the November/ December one and came in a red drawstring bag this time which is very festive. I look forward to getting this beauty  bag very much as it is fun and colourful. I think it is meant for a younger target audience but I am young at heart and I love it.
Miss Glossy is out every two months and I am subscribed to it. It costs £7 for the beauty box/bag which I think is a good price.

The theme for this box is to get through the winter months in style with a clear complexion, stand out eyes, fresh scents and attractive nails.

Here's my unboxing and my first initial thoughts on the products that I received.

 I love how Miss Glossy box send out the items every two months in a different coloured bag. I'm not a 'red' person but I loved this bag as it made me even more excited for Christmas time. You also get a card with a message and on the back the prices and information are stated about the products.

 Here are all of my products contained inside the bag this month. I received five different items this month.

 

 These are my favourite product this month. I absolutely love the retro design and I really like nail wraps as they make your nails look special for an event/ night out. I haven't seen the other Little Mix nail designs but these ones must be based upon Jesy's cartoon dress she wore. These cost £6.

 I am impressed with this as it is a full sized product and it will be really useful as I still get breakouts on my  skin. This retails at £13 so my bag was definitely worth the price I paid for it.

 This is also another full sized product. I do like Jelly Pong Pong but they are expensive. This is a wearable colour and I will use it as an eyeliner. It retails at £10.50 which I would not repurchase at that price. I could get a top, ring and ruffly socks in Primark for that price.

 I don't mind receiving perfume samples as long as they are pleasantly scented ones and this one is as I have used it before . 50ml would cost £38.50.

I'm not really a fan of So...? scents at all but as it is a small can and a bodyspray I'm sure I will get good use and use it up quickly. I've just sprayed it and it's actually nice ! I think it's because it reminds me of growing up as a teenager and I didn't like them then either! However smelling them again has made me change my mind a little. This product would only be £1.69 if it was a full sized product at 75ml. I received 50ml.

So that was my unboxing.

 Which is your favourite item?
