Glossybox Sweden - May 2015
23:31
I received my May Glossybox a couple of weeks ago and to be honest I was not very excited by the contents. The products themselves are not bad, they simply do not match my needs and taste. I am not too bothered by it since I am perfectly aware of how such subscriptions services work but the excitement is just not there this time and you will definitely notice that by my review.
The theme this month was - Summer Countdown and it suggested some exciting and colourful products, sadly in the box, I did not find anything that I could remotely even connect to it. Not that it really matters but it just adds to the disappointment.
1. Laino - Intense Nourishing Body Care & Argan Oil. Full Size Product 200ml/75kr & 50ml/259kr
2. Etre Belle Cosmetics - Aloe Vera Moisturizing Gel. Full Size Product 40ml/209kr
3. Coloran - Eyebrow Bleaching Kit. Full Size Product 79kr
4. Make Up Store - Andreas Nail Polish. Full Size Product 130kr
5. True Organic of Sweden - All You Need Is Me. Full Size Product 50ml/249kr
I am familiar with the brand Laino and particularly their Intense Nourishing Body Care line and I must say - it is horrible. I despise the smell of it and after the first use I had to get back to the shower because I couldn't stand myself. I am not overly sensitive when it comes to scents and I was definitely surprised by my reaction. With that said, as you can imagine, there is no way I would put that lotion anywhere near my body ever again and I have no choice but to throw it away, since I wouldn't even dare to give it away.
The same brand provided a 7ml tester of their 100% pure argain oil for body, hair and face, which looks very tempting and I am definitely looking forward to trying. The packaging is a little bit strange and I will either have to force myself to use all its contents up or find a way to store it without spilling all over my cabinets.
Etre Belle Cosmetics is another brand I am familiar with, again thanks to Glossybox and this time they have provided us with an interesting moisturizing gel, enriched with aloe vera extracts. According to the information card, it is oil-free and contains an ingredient called - liposome, which smoothes the skin and helps improving the elasticity.
True Organic of Sweden is apparently a local brand, known for their organic ingredients. All You Need Is Me is supposedly similar to the famous Eight Hour Creme by Elizabeth Arden and is meant to heal dry patches and smooth any rough skin - lips, feet, elbow or face are just a few of the places it can be used on.
I personally do not bleach or colour my eyebrows but even if I did this brown/black colour wouldn't be the right one for me. Honestly I have nothing else to say when it comes to this kit from Coloran. I am sure it is great and a lot of people would appreciate to find it in their box, I am just not one of them.
The only product in this month's Glossybox which had the potential to be connected to the summer theme of the box was the nail polish. Make Up Store is a great brand which I enjoy a lot and particularly their nail polishes, which tend to last on my nails at least a few days without any chipping. The olive-green shade called Andreas which I received this time is gorgeous and I will most definitely use, just not this time of the year.
I went through my collection and found a decent dupe by China Glaze - Westside Warrior. It is a tad darker but the similarity between those two is undeniable.
That was it from me.. As I said at the beginning - definitely not excited about the products and I am hoping next month there will be an improvement and I will be able to find at least one thing to fall in love with.
