Glossybox April (spoiler alert!)

This month's (April's) GlossyBox has an eco-friendly theme, even the box is recycled and comes in a lovely beige colour. I'm building quite a collection of rainbow coloured boxes...with the normal pink, red for Christmas, white for the Harrods box, pink for February...

So anyway, here's a little look at the goodies that came in my Glossybox this month!


The make-up item is this eyeliner from Inika cosmetics, in a gorgeous deep purple shade - I first tried Inika when I received a liner with a Marie Claire magazine a while ago. This one is just as lovely, I like how the purple shade is deep and subtle - makes it really wearable.


Then there were four other lovely products - a Burt's Bees Body Lotion, a Peppermint and Tea Tree balm (I love Peppermint, so this is a winner for me), a Monu Collagen Cream and a Caudalie Vinosource Serum. I'm a huge fan of the Caudalie range - especially the Vinosource products. I have tried this serum before so very happy to see this in there - it's fantastic for dry/dehydrated skin - especially when used lightly around the eye area.


I'm very happy with the bits I got in the box this month - I don't normally blog about just the contents, but as a couple of the brands were products I've tried in the past I felt I can vouch for their quality! I'm liking how Glossybox are doing different themes for the boxes, and how each one has a nice range of face/body/make-up products. 

I guess my only comment on this months box would be that it might have been nice to switch one of the face or body products for a hair one? No big deal at all, but would have given it a real all-rounder feel to the box!

Still, at the end of the day - I just love the surprise factor of opening the box to see what they've included each time!

  2. I am so excited to get mine now! A couple of other bloggers got different products as opposed to the Burt's Bee's lotion - they instead recieved a gel/ straightening balm which was the hair product that you desired! Nevertheless i think the box you got was great, and i will be a very happy camper if mine turns out to be the same as yours :)

    Love, Ana

  4. I was a Carmine Box junkie and was so gutted when they sold over the Glossybox. I have decided to let a couple months go by before signing up to see if they really do a good takeover. So far this looks great!

  12. Ahh I'm so tempted to sign up to glossybox! I used to be so envious of all the American beauty gurus I watch when they opened there "birchboxes". So i'm so glad there's a UK version. Would you say they were worth the money? And do you find you actually use the products you recieve? :) x
