March Glossybox Has Arrived - Unboxing time!

Hey Peeps,

So I'm back in the blogging game after neglecting you guys for a while. So this week I got a nice little package in the post. The mighty and beautiful Glossybox again. yes I know I have already done a post about it, but I love this month's box so much I had to share my thoughts with you.

So here is what came in the post for me!


As usual there are 5 products, a mixture of full size and travel sized.

There is the usual formal of skin care, hair care and make up products. I have to admit, I like to keep it pretty simple with my skin care so I tend to focus mainly on the hair and make up products.

My friends often get lumbered with all my skincare cast offs. Hey, a girl has to be careful. I break out way too easily, so I have no time at all for break outs and allergic reactions.

Anyway, lets check out the contents shall we??

Inside March's box you will find:

417 Catharsis Vitamin Mineral Shampoo and Conditioner - This is not a sulfate Free shampoo, but it makes an amazing clarifying shampoo. As you know, my hair is natural afro, so it is prone to breakage and naturally dry. I have to make a great effort to keep moisture in the hair. I found this shampoo great as a clarifier, which I use fortnightly to washout product build up. A little goes a long way. The bottle is travel sized, but I feel it has a good 2 maybe even 3 washes in it, depending on how much build up you have. The conditioner has a ver thin consistency, so I didn't use it with the shampoo. I think if you have thin hair, it would be a good match, but for my afro I found it was a great conditioner for a co-wash. I actually also tried it as a leave in conditioner by just applying a dime size to my hair when dry. It was brilliant for that. It did not clump or react strangely when I applied gel and coconut oil. So it is a great alternative to a leave in conditioner (even though that is not what it is technically for).



Hey Honey Good Morning Honey Silk Facial Serum - As I said before, I am not really one for changing my skincare regime, so I have to be honest and tell you I have not tried this. It is supposed to be suitable for all skin types and can double up as a base for make up, allowing for a smooth foundation. Sorry hey honey, I will have to take your word for it.

Olay Regenerist Skin Tone perfect Cream - Again, I'm not about changing my skin care regime, but I did try this one on my hand (I know live on the wild side right haha). The consistency is a little thicker than I imagined it would be but it leaves our skin smooth and hydrated. This and the facial serum are both travel size. I can imagine these would be good to carry in your luggage for an overnight stay. I feel this product goes a long way, so you definitely don't need to go crazy when you apply it.

Now for the full sized products and by far my favourite in this month;s box!

Collection Speedy Highlighter in Pearl Sheen - This is just the one. I have died and gone to heaven with this. Way to come through Collection!! This is the most beautiful colour and so easy to use! It has the most beautiful shimmer and when you use this, you will be mistaken for an angel! The glow it gives
you is just out of this world. I used this when I went to an event at the weekend (check out my Instagram for pictures). There was absolutely no need for a powder highlight. You simple swipe and blend! It applies a little creamy, but turns to powder. It is amazingly pigmented, so you do not have to scrub it on. This will quickly be one of my favourites.

Luxie 504 Large Angled brush  - It is a soft, but dense angle brush. at first glance I thought it was a kabuki brush as it it a little firm, but when you use it is super soft. you can use it to fleck your contour, but as she are quickly heading into the strobing season it can be used to apply cheek highlight. The denseness gives you the precision you need but it is soft enough to allow you to blend effortlessly.

Overall I have to say I am so impressed with this month's box. I am ecstatic for the make up products. Glossy box you have provided me with my March favourites and for that I thank you!

Until next time xx
