GlossyBox is a beauty box subscription service which will send you a box of five miniature and often full size beauty products for you to try before you buy. They’d make a fab Xmas present for someone who is as beauty obsessed as we are, with 3, 6 and 12 month subscription options, or a rolling contract. Read our review of the October box here and sign up for your own GlossyBox here. If you use the code AFFDEC15 you’ll receive 15% off your first box!
For those of you who aren’t familiar with Glossybox, it is one of many new “beauty boxes” taking the UK by storm at the moment.
The idea of a beauty box is that you pay a subscription fee and every month you are sent a box of beauty related samples, miniatures and occasionally full size products to use as you wish. Think of it as a rather glamorous “try before you buy” or as we like to think of it at thebeautyobsession, Christmas every month!
With the Glossybox, you receive 5 products each month for a subscription fee of £10 + £2.95 p&p. October’s box is filled with products for, and we quote, “an indulgent and cosy night in”. As October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, Glossybox have themed their boxes pink, and have said they’ll be donating, although we don’t know how much per box will be going to the charity.
As usual, the products inside are wrapped in tissue paper and tied with ribbon, making us feel like we’re opening a luxurious present before we’ve even seen what’s inside!
We weren’t disappointed once we unwrapped, this month’s box contained a great variety of products, all in generous sizes. Two of the products are full sized with an RRP of £24.99 alone.
From left to right: Yves Rocher France, Instant Anti-Wrinkle Moisturiser £18 for 100ml (full size included); The Organic Pharmacy, Enzyme Peel Mask, £49 for 40ml (5ml included); Skinetica, Anti-Blemish, £6.99 for 100ml (approx 15ml included); Sally Hansen, Complete Salon Manicure in 440 Calypso Blue, £6.99 for 14.7ml (full size included); Anatomicals, Don’t just clean it woman, scrub it Body Scrub, £3.49 for 200ml (75ml included).
We’re looking forward to trying everything in this month’s box, but we’re particularly excited about the Sally Hansen polish as it is such a gorgeous colour and the Skineitca Anti-Blemish, as anything that can help us fly through the day with confidence is always welcome here at thebeautyobsession!
We’ll update you with individual product reviews shortly, but in the meantime why don’t you let us know what you thought of your Glossybox this month? If you don’t yet subscribe to a beauty box, what do you think of the concept and would you be tempted?
