April Glossybox

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of blogposts, but it is next to impossible to get anything up during exam time! We can't make any promises but we will try our best to get at least a post a week up until our exams finish. Today we thought we would do a different blog post, as we were getting a bit bored of the 'Youtuber Challenge' but we will finish it someday.. Sorry it's kinda late, but I thought of doing the post anyway! Let us know in the comments below, if you want us to do a post about Jolie Box/Birchbox! 
This month's box was limited edition, inspired by Pearl Lowe's (a English singer-songwriter turned fashion and textiles designer) love of all things vintage and floral. The box was a beautiful floral print perfect for spring, and a change from the typical boxes. 







The products inside were as impressive as the box!


This is a daily sun cream with SPF 50+. The oil-free formula is ideal for all skin types, including combination and oily skin. I am yet to try this product as it does not have a proper lid, so it will dry out very quickly, also there is no sign of summer in the UK yet! As well on the back of this product it mentions that it is a free sample, which is quite disappointing. A full size of this product would 75g and would cost £18.50. It can be found from www.crawfordhealthcare.com.






The perfume is described as a 'intoxicating and magnetic fragrance', and has a floral-woody smell. The perfume is not a very common smell, it is unique and has quite a musky undertone to it. A full size is 50ml and costs £44 from www.yves-rocher.co.uk.



This is beautiful smelling body butter. Some people have compared it to the Laura Mercier body souffle's, and I have to admit it is very moisturizing! This is the mango scented one, however there is also one in Pistachio or Coconut Latte. A full size is 200ml and costs £9.95.




Essie is a well-known nail polish brand. I was so excited when I saw it in the glossybox. The red colour is very vibrant, and stands out from miles away however a little out of my comfort zone I have grown to like it. The nail polish's are very high quality, and the colour is well suited for the seasons. A full size Essie polish is £7.99 and can be found at any local drugstores, like boots or superdrug.



The final product was a Sleek blush in 'Pixie Pink' 936. The blush looks very bright, actually quite scary for people who don't where make-up very much, but don't let it fool you! It works beautifully on all skin types, but a little goes a long way! The vibrant pink is build-able however, it isn't so bright when you first put it on. It also adapts to your skin tone; on darker skin tones it looks more 'reddy' pink and on light skin tones it is more baby pink. A full size sleek blush is £4.49 and can be bought from Superdrug in the UK, sleek also have their own website where they sell their products.
