GLOSSYBOX May 2016.

This may's Glossy box is a collectors addition is all about your getaway giving you travel size products that are cabin friendly great for summer holidays and city breaks.
Their are 4 collectable boxes depict London, Paris, New York and Berlin.
I have received the Berlin box.
I absolutely love these collectable boxes this design is so funky and quirky I really love the bold design and the inside is really nice with the bold purple.
I think everyone must have their boxes but if you haven't received yours yet and don't want to know what may be inside don't continue reading Spoiler.

 When I open my box I always place this to one side because I like to see what I have inside before reading about them, I love the fact these cards offer you deals and beauty offers for products you receive which is a really nice addition to your box.

 Their is also a chance to win a 2 day trip to Berlin inside this box.
Wonder who the lucky winner will be.
Inside we have Proper Corn, an extra treat which I was surprised I haven't seen food items in the boxes before so was interested to try these.
They were surprisingly nice and very addictive I ate one then had to finish the whole pack I'm usually a toffee sweet popcorn fan but these where a nice change and have made me want to try their other flavours.
With only 43 Calories per pack you wont be breaking your diet.
Very lightly salty and tasty.
I believe this is a sample size for these boxes.

Here are the 5 items that were inside my box.
 First I tried was the Velvet Lippie a buttery matte lip cream.
I had high hopes for the colour but because I'm very pale and have lost my holiday tan and I have thin lips this colour made my lips near invisible.
I think I would have liked the pink toned colour, This colour remind me of a concealer.
But the feel on the lips was nice and once dried stays on and haves a lovely finish to your lips.
The only thin is the colour for me but it was not waisted as I gave this to my mum so she got a free lip product from this box.
I find if I don't like and item or it doesn't suit me then I always pass them on to friend or family.
This is a full size for £4.93
 This is the travel size BEE Good Youth enhancing plump & firm moisturiser.
This is always a good item to receive because I love moisturises and enjoy trying different ones.
This is a lovely feel and very smooth once applied.
This is a light weight feel and helps keep the skin hydrated I use under my normal moisturiser to give it a boost.
It is a travel size size for £9
 A few months ago I got an email from glossy box giving me a choice to pick May's Revlon mascara there were 5 choices and I picked the ultra volume mainly because I love these types of brushes and am not a huge fan of plastic so was very happy to have this choice.
The mascara it's self is very light and enhance my lashes and with the brush gives even disperse of product and does not clog my lashes but helps separate them making my eyes look bigger.
I always curl my lashes before applying mascara to help make them look even longer.
This is a full size product and is £9.99
 For some reason the website wasn't working so I was unable to provide a link.
 This is the Hawaiian Tropic Protective Dry Oil this is an oldie but a goody great for this British weather I love applying dry oils for the British sun as this helps to give you a darker looking tan while helping to protect you skin from the harmful rays with UVB AND UVA uv protection this is a great go to product it is also the one I choose when out shopping so this is perfect for when I travel and is ideal for them day trips out handy size for your hand bag and great for holiday travel.
This is a 100ml and is price for £5.99
Well this is HAIRON zero crease hair ties their is 3 in this pack.
I had high hopes for this one and have seen these around in shops and on social media so was interested to give these a try.
They were easy to put in my hair the style is not to bad, But when I wanted to pull it out it pulled on my hair and was a little difficult to remove the plastic is a soft shiny plastic and even when I stretched the tie it still pulled my hair and I could feel it pulling piece of my hair and I felt like it could damage my hair.
These ties that I've seen in the shops are alot bigger and these ones are very small.
My hair is very thin and can break easily so I wont be using these again.
I like the idea but for the first try I wasn't impressed.
They may work for different types of hair but I am not  fan of these plastic ties.
These I believe are full size and are £3.99.
If you want to know my favourite hair ties that don't not pull at your hair then Click Here.

So the price for this months box including P&P is £13.25.
The estimated price for all the products in this box work out at £33.90.
This does not include the price of the popcorn sample.
So thats a saving of £20.65.
Not the most expensive box but still covers the price you pay with just 2 items.

With the exception of giving away 2 product I still have covered the price for the box and am very happy as I just love this design and the box its self is of such good quality you can use it for what ever you want.

All opinions are my own I do not get paid for this post and I was honest about everything I receive in the box.
I subscribe to Glossy Box because I love having a gift set every month and enjoy seeing what I get and trying new products.
It's my monthly treat and I can't wait for next months.
