Glossybox Uk October 2013

Hey guys, I received my october glossybox  yesterday and to say i was disappointed when i opened it would be an understatement! Comparing this box to the last 2 fantastic boxes and the Exclusive Espa Editon box i've had has made me slightly unhappy.

 

Here is what was in my box:

MeMeMe Cherub's Blush, Full Size (£5.50 for 12ml) - Cheek & Lip Tint, to me its a cheap version/copy of Benefits Benetint. It has the same colour as benetint, same liquidy consistancy, smell ect. I don't like cheek/lip stains that much so i probably won't use it & give it away. 

 

Katy Perry - Killer Queen Fragrance (£29.50 for 50ml). I hate receiving silly little perfume samples, every time i'm shopping in a shop with fragrances i get a load of the samples if i ask for free! As much as i like the perfume, a larger bottle would be better!

 

Mono - Illuminating Primer (£24.95 for 50ml). While this primer is good for your skin since it's paraben free, it has vitamin E (to detoxify the skin) and Cassia Alata Leaf Extract (protects and prevents skin against UV damage) I feel this product is far to heavy for my skin, having really oily skin (as you may know from previous blogs) i can't use alot of heavy things on my face without looking completely shiney & oily within 5 mins. I used the littlest amount of product and it felt like it took forever to get it rubbed into my skin!

 

Premae - Multi-Vit Smoothie Serum (£22.50 for 50ml), to be honest this product went straight to my mum, the slight smell that came from the product wasn't to my taste so i haven't used it.

 

Then lastly there was a Gamila Secret -Cleansing Bar (Full size is £21). I felt the same about this as i did the Smoothie Serum, it went straight to my mum because the scent to me was awful! 

 

 

The name of this box was dark romance, but to me it should have been called something else as from what i received, there is no dark romance in this box. I mean instead of getting a free perfume sample (that i could have got from my local boots or debenhams myself) a nice deel purple/red/black nail polish would have been nicer to start with.

Let me know what you thought of this months glossybox :)
