Glossy Box #2 June: Product Reviews

This blog has been well overdue, what with my third GlossyBox on its way!  I've been super busy at Push PR, can't quite believe i've been here seven weeks almost, I never want to leave. Is anyone interested in a little catch up of what I've been up to?  If so leave a comment below! 

It's about time I got onto the product reviews from my second GlossyBox.  I was extremely excited and curious to see how the girls over at Team Glossy were going to trump the May box.  Unfortunately, Team Glossy have received mixed reviews with their latest box. I loved the whole idea of theming the boxes, but couldn't quite get over the fact that one product was not luxurious at all.

As a small recap, the June box included:

(L-R) Mama Mio Body Buff, Lalique Perfume, BioEffect EGF Serum, OPI and Batiste.  These reviews will be in order of popularity, 1 being my most favourite, 5 being my least favourite. 

#1 OPI

I was really excited about the OPI sample, which I immediately donned for a night out.  It has fast become a favourite product of mine and without a doubt I'd repurchase this in a heartbeat. 

Would I Re-Purchase?

Yes, without a doubt. 

#2 Mama Mio Body Buff

This product is amazing.  I've never had such soft and beautiful legs in my entire life.  The micro beads really exfoliate your legs well and plus it smells amazing.

Would I Re-Purchase?

Yes, this is a must have for fake tan junkee's too as it helps the fake tan glide on without the streaking!

#3 Lalique Perfume

In all honesty, I haven't worn this everyday.  I do however love it and think it's one of those 'special occasion' perfumes for when I want to feel, look and smell a million dollars. 

Would I Re-Purchase?

This brand is known for it's hefty price tags, but I'd definitely put it on my Christmas list!

#4 Batiste

Surprisingly, this isn't my least favourite product.  I use this product a lot, even before GlossyBox sent it to me, so it was nice to have a handbag size for travelling around.  I still feel a bit let down that this was included in the GlossyBox as it's not luxy. 

Would I Re-Purchase?

Always and forever, Batiste is a must buy for anyone. 

#5 Bioeffect EGF Serum

 I don't think this product actually does anything for my skin at least.  I really wasn't impressed with it, even more so when I saw the whopping £125.00 price tag for about 15ml?!

Would I Re-Purchase?

Even if I won the lottery, no. 

So that's it, I've just recieved news that my July box is at home, so this may be a very Glossy day on Non Optional.  What were your thoughts on this months products?

Glossy Box #2 June

It was like Christmas morning when I woke up this morning to find my GlossyBox left on the doorstep.  I was a good girl and waited until I got to the office before ripping it open.  Everyone will be in agreement that this box had a hard reputation to maintain and I'm on the fence as to whether it did or not, but more of that later!  Here are the products in all their glory:

(L-R) Mama Mio Body Buff, Lalique Perfume, BioEffect EGF Serum, OPI and Batiste.

So let's get into the little on the fence debate I'm having.  When I signed up, it was to get 5 luxury samples every month to try before splashing the cash.  Last time I checked, Batiste was readily available at the pound shop, not exactly luxury now is it?  On the other hand, this month they themed the box for the summer, which I thought was a great idea and also something that could keep this company versatile and original.  They've also made up for the Batiste with an array of discounts, 3 in total.  

Now onto my first thoughts for each product...

BATISTE ORIGNAL DRY SHAMPOO

Obviously, you can guess I wasn't best pleased when I opened this, but considering the theme, I can see why they put it in.  I swear by Batiste so having a handbag sized one will be really useful.  

BIOEFFECT EGF SERUM

This serum is supposed to stimulate the growth of skin cells, hydrate and give your skin a younger finish.  I will try this after cleansing my skin later on.  I'm hoping this product will grow on me and make more sense after use, at the moment I'm a bit WTF?

LALIQUE PERFUME

GlossyBox redeemed themselves with this product.  I'm a sucker for perfume, and this smells gorgeous. It's quite floral, with what I think a bit of a spicy tone to it.  i'm definitely going to alternate this with my everyday perfume.  

OPI DESIGNER SERIES MINI NAIL LACQUER

Firstly, how gorgeously sweet is this miniture OPI?!  I have only one of these polishes, always tempted by the Katy Perry collection.  I love this colour, it's a mix of a raspberry pink mixed with a purple and blue glitter.  It's also the perfect colour for my outfit for tomorrow night, so I believe this could be fate.  The only problem with this is that the colour isn't stated, so if I were to re-order than I wouldn't know where to start.  

MAMA MIO OMEGA BODY BUFF

The last product was some body buff exfoliator.  Now, this again is another of those fated products, as I intend to fake tan so will need to 'buff' my skin before hand.  I've been told that Mama Mio are a great brand so I'm excited to try this out.  This is also a hefty sample, all 125ml of it!

In order of most excited to try, here they come:

1. OPI

2. Mama Mio

3. Lalique

4. BioEffect

5. Batiste (I already know this works..)

So that's it for this months first impressions.  As always, two weeks from today I will review products after use.  I'd love to hear your thoughts on this months box if you received it or are merely reading this blog post.  

I hope you're all well and enjoyed todays sunshine.
