February Glossybox!

Hi guys!
Hope everyones doing well, I finally got my February Glossybox almost 2 weeks late:(
It wasnt their fault as the nice lady I spoke to on the phone explained to me, another company had issues and quite a few boxes were late this month. 
If you don't know about Glossybox it's a monthly beauty box, every month they send you 5 luxuary high end sample products to try, it costs £10 per month and is available in the UK and Ireland.


It came with the most gorgeous packaging as always, the light pink box which is really cute and girly (also amazing for storage because its really strong!) then the products are wrapped in black paper which is beautifully tied with a lovely dusty pink ribon and a Glossybox sticker!


This is exactly how it looked when I opened it, there is usually something big in there to stop everything moving around but not this time unfortunately.  Inside is the 5 products which sit on top of fuzzy black cardoard. 


The products I got:

1) Como Shambhala - Invigorate shower gel
2) Becca - beach tint
3) Awapuhi Wild Ginger by Paul Mitchell - styling treatment oil 
4) Dr Bronners Magic Soaps - Lavender Hand Sanitiser
5) BM beauty - Pure Mineral Eyeshadow

Como Shambhala - Invigorate shower gel


The company claims it will 'Cleanse and energise your skin'
Its has eucalyptus, Geranium, Lavander and Peppermint essential oils and it's a 50ml sample but for the full size which is 30ml it is £20.
I didnt get very excited about this product. For one I'm not a big fan of the scent its very floral and minty and quite strong.  At the end of the day its shower gel, I'm not even a quarter of the way through the bath stuff I got for Christmas so this is just another thing I have to use up! 

Becca - beach tint


I got the Becca beach tint in the shade 'Water melon'
It's a water resistant colour tint for cheeks and lips and I quite like it, I've only swatched it on my hand and haven't tried it anywhere else so I cant tell you much, but it felt really creamy and is really pigmented and also felt really light on my skin so I think it'll be really nice for in the summer!
 it's a full size product which I didn't realise at first because it's only 7ml! 
 It costs £20 which I do think is a little pricey for the amount you get. 


Awapuhi Wild Ginger by Paul Mitchell - Styling treatment oil.                                  

This is by far my favourite product!

 I was so excited to get this because I'd really wanted to try a new hair serum because I hadnt been using one for so long!
I used it lastnight on my damp towel dried hair, just 2 pumps and massaged it into my ends.
I woke up and my hair was silky, soft and really shiny! I LOVE it!
I even got compliments at school, someone even asked to touch my hair because it looked so soft ahaha!
This is also a full sized product, you get 25ml and costs £7.50 but you can also get 100ml for £25.95.
It smells really nice, the main tone is ginger which I would usually hate and then other spicy undertones.  Even though they are quite warm smells its still manages to smell refreshing!

4) Dr Bronners Magic Soaps - Lavender Hand Sanitiser



This is a lavendar spray hand sanitizer by Dr Bonner. 
I got a 59ml bottle which costs £3.99
It smells really strongly of lavendar which isnt really a scent I like but that doesnt bother me too much, I prefer the gel/liquid sanitizers where as this is a pure liquid spray.  This company is all organic and this product is 
free of                gmo-alcohol and petro-carbomer thickener, also this company don't test on animals which is always nice!


5) BM beauty - Pure Mineral Eye shadow





This was another thing I was quite disappointed with because I really don't like loose pigments/shadows... I think they're really hard to apply and I always manage to get product everywhere! 
I got the shade 'Noir' which is black with really fine glitter, I dont think I'll use it much because I already have pretty much the same shadow in atleast 2/3 pallettes which I am much more likely to use.
The little pot i got was 1g and that would cost you £7.00
