 OCTOBER  GLOSSYBOX REVIEW


So I know it is already the end of  October and all who subscribed for  GLOSSYBOX already saw whats inside, but I just want to give my honest review for those who still thinking to subscribe or not to.
This is my first GLOSSYBOX ever. I subscribed for 3 month. So my last one will come on December.  I do expect that December box will be something special, because it will be a Christmas time!

Ok, so before I subscribed I read many comments and feedback about the best monthly boxes.
This time I was only searching a monthly beauty  boxes in the UK.
Glossybox was mentioned as one of the best monthly box for £10 value.
There are many other more expensive boxes, but I just wanted something not over £10

Lets go straight away to whats inside. 

The packaging is very nice.The  Box colour is light pink/bluch pink. Looks very girly. And when you open the box its wraped in nice pink paper.
First impression is wow. You just want to open it straight away and see whats inside.
There are 6 beauty items.

  • 1  BEE Good company Honey and Camelina Facial Exfoliator

So what it does. On the packaging says its polishes, hydrates and calms congested and dull skin.
From the title you obviously expecting honey one of the ingredients.
There is something what calls Cera alba ( beeswax)

 (Beeswax (Cera alba) is the substance that forms the structure of a honeycomb. Bees convert nectar into wax, building honeycomb to store their honey. Ten pounds of honey produces one pound of wax. It has a honey-like aroma and can be distilled into a fragrance.)

There is Camelina seed oil, lavandula flower. What I didn't like straight away is that one of the ingredients is parfum and alkohol denat, they are the biggest enemy for your skin and escpially if you have a sensitive dry skin ( as I do ) Long time using this ingredients can damage your skin little by little.

  • 2 item NEW BEAUTY SHAMPOO

Smells like chewy gum.
I don't know what brand is that, but ingredients doesn't look very attractive. I have a very dry, thin hairs, so  usually  I buy a natural organic product for my hairs, to don't damage them more. 
Probably I will pass this shampoo for my boyfriend ( he don't really care what shampoo to use, cause hes not obsessed with natural or organic products as I am) 

  • 3 item Secret Fluch 

This item you can use as a blush or a lip flush. Didn't tried jet, could be something nice. It does have some good ingredients as Shea butter, jojoba seed oil. 
But it is also Mica and Parfum, witch is not good for your skin as well. Unless you have a perfect skin type and you don't really care what to put on your skin.
I do care.

  • 4 item Mascara ultra volume and high definition. Its from Primark. Worth 3£

I don't know what else to say. I have no idea is it waterproof or not. I prefer when its not waterproof.

  • 5 item TRIFLE cosmetics Lip balm.

Never heard about this cosmetic brand. It does have one good ingredient - vitamin E.
I'm only using my favourite Lush lip balm with natural ingredients.

  • 6 item The Body Shop  Drops of Youth 

Its 7 ml small bottle of some elixir. No ingredients written so not going to use it, I don't want to irritate my skin, could be something what my skin doesn't like.

Overall - I wouldn't buy any of this beauty products myself.
I mean if you do care of your skin you obviously want the best products.
I would say these items are selected maybe for a teenagers, who only start using cosmetics, who don't care about any  ingredients or just don't know jet what is good for them skin.

But what can you expect for 10£?

My face cream usually cost 20£ and I'm saying this not because I want to show up how much I spend for my face cream, but just you to understand that a good quality beauty products cost little bit more, and probably you cannot get anything really good for 10£

Well, I will get 2 more Glossyboxes and  probably they will be the last:)
But hey ho, you never know,  maybe next month I will be surprised.

Will try something else. Maybe My Little Box from France :)

Thank you for reading and I hope It helps you to decide  to subscribe or not. 
I was not  thinking to write all negative, but this is my honest opinion about October Glossybox.
