Blogmas day 19 - glossybox opening and first impressions

I was really excited to revive this months glossybox, as it was a collaboration with really ree. The box design did not disappoint, it's all rose gold and white. It has let it snow written in rose gold on one side of the box and on the other is let's celebrate. I like saving all the really pretty glossyboxes, so this one is going in my save pile.

 

Getting into the products, there is 6 products inside the box. The first one is etre belle golden skin caviar eye roll on. A rather long name for this product, I've never heard of this before so I'm quite intrigued. This is supposed to instantly sooth and hydrate delicate skin. I'm looking forward to trying this out, as yesterday I told you I had used up my eye cream so this definitely comes in handy.

 

Next is the so Susan statement highlighter pencil, this is full size. Everything I've ever tried by this brand I have not liked, but I wanted to go into this with an open mind. This is a golden glow and seams creamy, I do prefer golden highlighters as they suit my skin more. So I should like this.

 

Just like the birchbox there is also a nail polish, this one is by cheeky and is full size. The shade that I got is disco fever. This is very glitzy and would look great over any nail polish. However I already own a nail polish like this that looks much nicer, so I wasn't overly impressed by this.

 

Next is the hylamide pore delete. This I've never heard of before, it looks almost pharmacy like. This is supposed to be mattifying , minimise pores and blur. You apply this on skin either with no foundation and just powder or you can apply on top of foundation and then apply powder. I'm unsure how this would work applying it over foundation as your likely to be left with a patchy  look when your patting this into your skin. I'm very sceptical about this, and a little unsure about trying it as it does look like a pharmacy product.

 

The last full sized product is the essence liquid lipstick in the shade show off. This is a fushisa pink liquid lipstick. Personally this is not a shade I wear in the winter, it's far too bright. I prefer berry shades, this will be something that doesn't really get tried until the summer.

 

Lastly is the starskin bio-cellulose skin mask. This is not shown in my photos as It was not in my box, however glossybox have resolved this and are sending me a replacement. I've never heard of this brand before and after trying a sheet mask from birch box last month and loving it I'm intrigued to try this one out.

 

Overall I would give this box 7/10, this didn't wow me like some of there other boxes and I was disappointed to find a product missing, I know this issue is resolved but it's still disappointing when opening. I still really like this box but I expected more from this with it being a collaboration with really ree, instead you see a few of the brands that keep popping up in quite a few of there boxes.
