GlossyBox May 2014

So I came home today to open my glossy box, and I was really excited as everyone is saying it is the best yet! One of the things Ive noticed people saying in reviews is that even before they opened their box, it felt heavier than usual. I didn't find this, mainly because when I opened it, I felt like I had nothing similar to any of the others!

One of the things I really wanted was the Spray and Go by Vaseline. I have seen this in every review so I guess I assumed it was one of the items in every box. I also really would have loved the primer as I am running low! However, when I came to opening my box, heres what I found.

Firstly, I found Scandal Eyes Mascara by Rimmel London in my box. I wasn't too fussed about this as I already have about 4 mascaras already. I don't have a lot of Rimmel products mainly because I find they don't last long, either they run out quickly or break. So I am interested to try this but as I said before, I'm not overly interested in this. (£6.99)

Next came the Ghost Eclipse Tester. I don't really value these as they are very useless to me. I never find enough in the tester to actually wear it out. There really isn't much to say about this as I wouldn't really mind if this didn't arrive in my box.

This is probably the least impressive thing in my box, the Caramel Sheer Conditioning lipstick by B. I tried it on and it made my lips feel horrible. It didn't come out as a caramel colour, it just looked slightly shimmery. If I wanted a shimmery look, I would wear lipgloss. It genuinely looked as if I had no colour change on my lips but some sticky chapstick. (£6.99)

This is almost as unimpressive, Gosh Eyeliner however it comes in a violet shade? I only ever wear black coloured eyeliner as Im so pale, any odd colour looks strange on me. I also only use liquid eyeliner not pencil. (£4.99)

2true Pro 3D candy Marine Nail Art was in my box. I love the idea of this however I don't really like this colour. I would have preferred either a pastel colour or a pink type. I am looking forward to using this and if it goes well, I may look at the other colours available. The only thing I would say is that I seem to always receive nail varnish in every box, I am a little tired of it now. (£3.00)

One thing I am glad to have in my box is a doughnut ring. I have always wanted to try this and now I have! It was quite easy to use. I have quite fine hair but it still worked well. Maybe for a smart day, this would be great. Glossybox have clearly taken into account I have blonde hair by sending me a blonde shade doughnut ring. So maybe they do think about what goes into each box? (£3.99)

Lastly, a tester of the Garnier Body Oil Lotion. This is again something that I am not too fussed over, but I will try it as I do have dry skin so maybe this is a little perk.

Overall, I am dissapointed. I had such high hopes, especially as it was a collaboration box. Personally, I alway feel I get the worst of the products available, just my luck. Hopefully you are all more satisfied with your boxes, let me know if you disagree with anything Ive said! The total value of the box excluding testers is £25.96, and I can't say it's worth it, sorry Glossybox.
