Re: Monthly makeup boxes (such an awesome concept!)
If you are in the UK, there is another monthly subscription box which you could sign up to. It hasn’t been launched yet but worth signing up to see if they will be better than glossy because personally i think glossy box was a disappointment this month. I’m sure the first BOUDOIR PRIVE box will be special.
This is called BOUDOIR PRIVE and will have 6 luxury samples:

I will unsubscribe in September because of the postage charge AND if the products are still dissapointing. I will sign up to BOUDOIR PRIVE instead, plus I’ll be getting 6 samples instead of 5!

Re: Monthly makeup boxes (such an awesome concept!)
i don’t know if im too excited about the box now…im not liking this month’s…a granola bar??? seriously??
Re: Monthly makeup boxes (such an awesome concept!)
Just got my July Box today and I’m pretty excited! I also got the granola bar which was surprisingly yummy, lol. Here’s what I got minus the bar since I ate it >.<:
Got:
- Korres shower gel (made in Greece)
- Philosophy facial cleanser
- Redken Shine flash spray (it is for extreme sheen)
- YBF retractable eyebrow pencil in a universal color (and it comes with a spoolie on one end, I LOVE THIS! Matches perfectly although I dont fill mine in, it is great for a little touch up)
- and then I got the bar, which tasted really good, btw and they have put in food before but I never was subscribed then.

Re: Monthly makeup boxes (such an awesome concept!)
Has anyone recieved the glossybox for this month? I recieved mine this morning. Not that amazed really :(. I’ll take photo’s later and post but this is what I recieved for this month:
Ciate nail enamel in a green colour. It was like a bright green colour and I really didn’t like it. It’s not something I would wear and I wear the most funkiest colors sometimes. But bright green isnt my cup of tea. This was a full size product btw!
Illamasqua powdered metal in Ether. I think this is the only product that I really liked. I think I could use it to add shimmer to my face? Highlight my cheeks? Add a bit to foundation and get a shimmery glow to my face? Haha maybe going a bit too far. This was a full size product which retails for around £22 i think. Some blogs have said ooh it makes up for the value of the box but this product isn’t something I would buy in the first place. I would prefer buying that nars illuminator because it looks much better. If people wanna see swatches etc just google it and it should come up on someones blog. I might have to experiment a bit to see if I like it, if not I know my mum’s got her eyes on it LOL
Next product was Orla Kiely eau de perfum. I have a blocked nose so don’t really know the scent! Sorry! this was a sample tiny little size. The bottle was cuute but that doesn’t really make up for the quite rubbish box. lol it’s annoying how so many people liked this box?
This next product really annoyed me! It was Ultra Sun. It was basicaly a sun protection lotion. REALLY?? It was a sample size at that. lol I know that some products won’t amaze everyone but seriously? SUN PROTECTION LOTION?? 
In britain? WHERE THE SUN HASNT EVEN COME OUT IN JULY???
Last product was Weleda pomegranate regenerating body oil. I didn’t like the smell much. Was too citrusy for my liking. I’m passing this onto my mum. She could use it because it’s a firming lotion. I would have kept it to try out if i liked the smell but I didnt really! This was a full size product!
All in all the only thing that i was happy about was getting a parcel addressed for me in cute packaging with maybe one product that I like. and that one product being something I would never ever buy.
So many people have got different products to me which annoyed me as a few of this products i got I would place in a mature women’s shopping basket?
I’m gonna get the august box before the price increases and if I don’t like it then i’m cancelling my subscription! Sorry for the long post!
Re: Monthly makeup boxes (such an awesome concept!)
I loved my july Glossy Box!
I have the Ciate nail polish. Its a creamy pinky nudey colour, which is very flattering!
I also got the Illamasqua eyeshadow pigment in a greeny colour. I wont be wearing that myself, but will just put it in my makeup artistry kit, which i’m building up for september makeup artistry training.
Also go the pomegranate oil, 2 perfume samples and a zen tan lol.
I’ll upload a post on my blog tomorrow: http://nudelipstick-pinkblush.blogspot.com/
I will be unsubscribing though as their will be postage to pay plus I have subscribed to boudour prive instead, which gives 6 samoples instaed of 5!
Re: Monthly makeup boxes (such an awesome concept!)
nausheen86 Do you know when boudour prive are starting theirs? So far all it say's on their website is to subscribe? and you also got different things to me! I wanna change my opinion on the nail varnish as well! Once applied it does look nice but it takes a few coats to get a colour buildup of the same colour of the bottle! I gave the pomegranate oil to my mum as I couldn't stand the smell and also the sunscreen as my daily moisturiser contains it anyway :)
Re: Monthly makeup boxes (such an awesome concept!)
I got an invite to BP, it said August box. But I can't help feeling it's riding on the back of the others and may just be junk too.
Re: Monthly makeup boxes (such an awesome concept!)
Stoppit i was really disappointed in this month's glossybox. I actually don't really like any of the products. I gave two things away and I don't think it'll be that long till I give the rest away to sisters or mum? But like so many people loved them. Am i expecting too much??

Boudoir Prive are sending their first box out next month. I think they have sold out the August box, but you may be able to sign up for the september one.
I have updated my blog and posted on the july box, so check that out if you want to see pics. :)
Yeh, I agree with you on the nail polish. It doest need afew coats.
Re: Monthly makeup boxes (such an awesome concept!)
I haven't even gotten an invite from BP! Did anyone else get a july glossybox?
Re: Monthly makeup boxes (such an awesome concept!)
Wouldn't it be more cost effective to just purchase products that are to your liking rather than pay for a box of random stuff? Personally, i'm not really sold by it.
