Glossybox, The Harrods Edition!

Okay so, i wasn't overly impressed with last months glossybox, hence no post about it but as i was sifting through other posts to have a cheeky nose to see what others recieved i was surprised to see everyone else got a little card saying something about a unexpected suprise in the next box, i wasnt thrilled mainly because i did not recieve this card in mine, and i was worried i wasnt going to get the suprise. Thankfully, it was for everyone and after a series of clues it was revealed that the next Glossybox would be a Harrods edition! 

And heres what was inside...

This box is amazing, and for the price we pay, we have been spoilt! 

The first thing that caught my eye was the Clarins Extra Firming Body Cream, and you know what girlies this will definatly come in good use. Not that my body needs extra firming (i did only turn 20 yesturday), but i could imagine this is super moisturising, and well, Clarins, this must be worth alot full size. 

Its thick, moisturising and smells lush.

The next thing that i spotted within the depths of Glossybox heaven was a middle(?) size Molton Brown, now if it wasnt for my mum i wouldnt of herd of this brand, she swears by the hand cream and it always smells beautiful and is so moisturising. So, i recieved the 'Heavenly Gingerlily moisture bath and shower' and at first i was a bit unsure as to weather ild like the smell of ginger or not, but it smells so good! Put it in my bath and it made my skin smell so good, and useully shower gels last a hour or so and the smell fades away, but this didnt.

This is a 50ml bottle compared to a useual full size 300ml. 

Next up, a tester size perfume of Narciso Rodriquez for her perfume, now i know Glossybox are known for putting in rubbish perfume samples (im afraid to say i have infact either lost or given mine away), but those were rubbish makes, and this is such a stunning smell.

This is only 1ml compared to a full size 50ml. 

The next thing i thought was another perfume tester, by this time im so excited i just rip open the box, and have to smell everything) and to my suprise i saw that it was a little lipstick! The packaging is a tartan print, in colour 'Rosewood' not necessarily a shade i would normally pick, but ill definatly give it a go.

Sorry its a bit of a naff photo, but i wanted to show you the tartan, so pretty! 

Its a shimmery brown with a hint of red.

And last but not least, i was so chuffed and excited to see a YSL forever youth liberator serum in the box. Ive never tried YSL before, purly for the price of it, for example the full price of this product is £80!, ive herd alot of good reviews of touche eclat, but never thought to buy it. This product is supposed to 'increase youthful activity in skin cells'. Ive been useing it for about a week now, and my skin just feels so amazing after applied.

This was a 5ml size, compared to a full size 50ml. 

Its a serum, and skins right in. Feels divine on the skin!

What did you all get in your Harrods Glossybox, i was very impressed!

Be my valentine, Glossybox!

As i lie horizontal nursing my ever worsening fluey, weak body, i cant help being cheered up by receiving my January Glossybox, yes there back, and after a long break between the Christmas one and this one, i was very much looking forward to it.
Ive been with glossybox now for about 6 months, and i love glossybox, theres been alot of negative comments about it over the past couple of months but i think in my personal opinion we get so much for what we pay, usually one of the products in the box is nearly, or over the price we pay for the whole box, i also love trying and experimenting with things i haven't seen before, or wouldn't usually buy.

With the Christmas box, the box was bright red, so i expected to open my cardboard box and to see the signature baby pink, matte, box. As to my surprise, it was a stunning bright pink! All ready for the valentine season. This is a limited addition box. How cute is the heart sticker and the colour of the box!

As every month rolls by, my glossybox always seems to go straight to the post office, and with stupid collection hours, i never seem to get it til the following weekend, so 9 times out of 10 i wouldn't be able to resist and HAVE to take a peek at the contents on other blogs or youtube. This month, however, i resisted. So it was a complete surprise. Here is what i got...

First thing that caught my eye were the two Clarins moistrisers. I have never tried Clarins before but i have herd so much about them and how good they are.

Theres 2 mini versions of the extra firming day cream, and night cream. This is perfect for glossybox as its for all skin types, so can be used by anybody. The size we received is 15ml, and for the full size of 50ml is £48! After seeing how much it was i had very high expectations.

On the left is the night cream, and the right is the day cream. 

As you can see, the night cream is alot thicker then the day cream, on the glossybox card it writes 'Clarins intensive night-time skin renewal complex', that explains the thickness as its an intensive cream and the skin can absorb all the goodness overnight.

The day cream is alot thinner, and the card writes 'infusing skin with firming benefits that are immediate and long-lasting'. Now i would say to myself, jeez im 19 and im already using anti-ageing cream? And im sure im not alone in thinking that, but youve gotta start early, right?

Ive just applied a small amount of the night cream to my face and it feels amazing already! Really rich and moisturising. 

Second thing that caught my eye was First Aid Beauty body moisturiser in a 57.6g version opposed to the full size version at 226.8g retailing at £10. 

I have never seen this brand before, and so was quiet keen to try it out. Its really thick and is fragrance free, its really moisturizing and sinks really qwickly into my skin. On the glossybox card it states 'The ultimate travel companion for all skin types that provides irritant-free cleansing and hydration.' On the card it writes that it is body wash, but on the product is says body moisturiser, so im not really sure what it is, but ill be useing it as a moisturiser.

Sorry guys about my what looks like giant hands! As you can see its really thick, perfect for winter dry skin!

Next thing in the box of lovelyness is a small product from the company Murad, my mum swears by Murad and her skin has really improved since useing it, so as soon as i saw the packaging i new it would be a good product. This is a Skin perfecting primer, and it states on the packaging 'Ignite skins radiant glow, create a smooth resillient canvas while minimising the appearence of pores'. Perfect for i have alot of pores on my t-section and will try anything/buy anything to get rid of them (well to hide them at least). 

We recieved in our box a 5ml version, to buy the full 30ml version would set you back £29.

I was really suprised to see that it is coloured, useual primers are a gel or liquid clear cream, i spreaded it over my hand and it definatly added colour. To use, everyday after moisturizing, blend evenly over face and neck, wear under or in place of foundation for a fresh look.

Lastly, is the full size product. Eyeko skinny eyeliner. I have never seen this brand before so really keen to get it open and to see what it was. The colour i recieved was Midnight blue, which is perfect considering i have bright blue eyes. We recieved a full size pencil, which retails at £9.50, which is 50p off the price for the whole box, im pretty impressed with that.

I was quiet disapointed when i saw how big it was, i thought ah wow! Thats hudge, but in actual fact half of it is just a sort of plastic point, dont really know the purpose of it to be honest, but i loved the colour of it. On the card, it writes 'Get a handle on your eyeliner for precise definition and intense colour with a long-lasting finish'. On the box of the product it writes 'Create dramatic and subtle effects with precise definition and smooth application. Long lasting wax based formula with a blendable cream finish'. 

The colour i have is called Midnight Blue, and as you can see its like a navy blue. Im really pleased with the colour i have got because i have seen that other people have got colours i wouldnt really like to use on my eyes.

Overal im really pleased with my glossybox, as i am with every month, and i think for the price we pay we really get treated. And in my personal opinion i love getting a present every month!

How cute is this glossybox sweet! 

Thanks for reading my lovely followers. 

What did you all get in your glossybox?
