My first beauty box - it's Glossy Detox

So I got to recieve a lovely Glossy beauty box today my first time ever, I really wondered what the big deal was with these boxes. So I wanted to try one out. I recieved 5 products today which you can see in the photos below. They are mostly facial products which I will give a little more detail in

Elemis Fresh Skin SKIN GLOW FACIAL EXFOLIATOR 
I really like the smell of this but I felt the consistency and it doesnt really feel exfoliatorish (my special new word) I have not tried it yet though so when I have done a proper testing I can be more accurate in my sampling report 

Jason LIPS BEE HEALTHIER 
This is gorgeous the smell is delightful and I am in love with it. It is the full size too, with 70% organic product I am very happy with this. It full of minty and chocolatey smells which I really love (pass me the mint choc chip ice-cream pleaseeee) I really love the feel of it on my lips though. I even let my mum try it who was impressed too. Don't you feel with lip balms they leave a really nasty layer of wax and weighs your lip down a ton. This doesn't and I didn't have to reapply for ages. I really love this one as I keep returning to my box to sniff and put it on. RESULT!

Monu AROMATIC MASK
This hasn't been used yet by me but it looks like pure clay, but it boasts to be a favourite so sometime this week I will be giving it a whirl on my soft pillowy skin. Yes a-thank you!

Duck Island Limited BODY LOTION
I really love the smell of this - its describes as the very essense of the East which I am big into right now. I am looking forward to trying this. The only real let down was the packaging for me personally. It just has a massive duck on it and a black lid thats about it. If you like that kind of thing though and like the minimalist approach then this will be right up your street. 

Premae Skincare BALANCE RESCUE FACE TONIQUE 
I can honestly say I have never used a Tonique for my face a toner yes but this is new for me. It does smell more like the lemon wipes you get from KFC after you ate all that glorious chicken. I really don't have greasy skin though, but I shall try it because I feel it an education for myself and anyone else out there who hasn't tried any yet. 

So was it worth getting? I would say yes but I don't know if I am thrilled with this box - we did get a eye mask with it which is a cute addition. I guess I just expected more makeup/nail products and there wasn't really anything in there. Maybe its just this month with the detox theme. I am unsure if I want to keep going at this point but it was worth getting this box for the lip balm alone its really lovely and its not that expensive.

So ladies and gents - watch this space :)

    1. yeah I must say I sorta went oh :( no makeup...I am assured by other glossy's that there is usually always one makeup product usually, I have been told Lux box is better for beauty products and they have items in full size. I think you just have to find the one that works for you. They are still really good products by the way - I can tell they are really decent. It's still good to try out new things :D
