I was really excited for this months Glossy Box. Last months box was amazing and I was so pleased with everything I got. I was really happy with all of those products so I had high expectations for the next one.
Unfortunately This months box turned out to be a huge anti climax. I received five fairly small inexpensive products that weren't anything special. I'm not the only one who didn't love this box, after a quick look on Twitter I saw so many users who were also disappointed.
So now I've had a little rant, here is what I received in my November Glossybox...
Lollipops Make Up Eye Pencil - This is probably the best item in the box. Most people use eyeliner and I know I will get a lot of use out of this but it's nothing special. I subscribe to Glossybox to try new products and brands and although I've never used this brand before I'm not really excited to try it.
Burt's Bees Lip Shine - Okay I lied, this is the best product I received. I've heard nothing but good reviews from this brand so I have really high hopes for it. I don't really use lip gloss; I'm pretty loyal to my lipsticks, but I'm excited to try this out. It smells nice and the packaging is cute, so I'm quite happy with it.
H20 Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment - I always love trying out new moisturizer because I have such dry skin. I have really bad eczema and I'm forever on the hunt for some good creams. I find it especially hard to find a good, non-greasy face cream but as this claims to be oil free I'm looking forward to trying it out. My only problem with this product is the size. I know we aren't guaranteed full size products but I just think its a bit mean to chuck in such a small sample.
Monu Skincare Soothing Hawaii Facial Oil - I'm not sure if I even want to try this if I'm honest. My pores can get oily and clogged up quite quickly and I feel like the last thing I should do is put more oil on it. If I do try it out I will definitely do a review for anyone else who's concerned about putting greasy creams on their face.
2True Pro Sparkles Glitter Nail Polish - On the Glossy Box card this says its a nail varnish, but to me it just looks like a pot of glitter so I'm not really sure how to apply it. It looks like a nice little product that will come in handy closer to Christmas. I've tried 2True products before and they aren't amazing but for the price I can't complain. They are one of the cheapest brands in Superdrug so I'm not expecting much. That being said, I do love painting my nails and I'm excited to try something I haven't used before!
So that was my November Glossybox. I think I sounded really negative throughout this post, but that's just because I was disappointed this box didn't keep up the usual good standards.
I'm really looking forward to the December box and hopefully it will be all Christmassy and cute!
*I was gifted a travel sized pot of Moisture Surge by Clinique last year however I was under no obligation to post about it and I paid for this full sized product myself.
