March Glossybox: The Harrods Edition...



L-R: 1) Versace Vanitas eau de parfum 2) Bliss blood orange and white pepper body butter 3) Lancome Teint Miracle - shade 03 
4) Clarins Extra Firming body cream 5) Révive Intensité crème

Just a quick post to show you what I got in this month's glossybox. I'm not going to go on for too long as I don't think people really like reading these any more. Once again I was disappointed by my box, I didn't get the one product I really wanted: the Burberry lipstick.

1) LOVE the packaging of this it's so cute! The fragrance itself is quite nice: girly, fresh and summery, but didn't make me go WOW.

2) This is probably my favourite product and the thing I've used the most. It's a very convenient size for my handbag so I've been using it as a hand cream. It's very moisturising but not at all sticky, and smells delicious.

3) I haven't given this much of a try, it seems quite a light coverage foundation which isn't really to my taste.

4) I really don't understand why they've given me two such similar products in one box. This cream is OK, I used it on my legs as it's supposed to be firming. I didn't notice any difference but it is a nice moisturiser.

5) This is quite a nice little cream, but I was amazed when I discovered this full size version of this costs over £200! In my opinion, you'd be mad to spend that much on a moisturiser! However, this is the only product that screams Harrods to me, the other items could have been in any other box.


I decided to cancel my Glossybox subscription once again, as I've been disappointed with the selection of products I've received. I was going to subscribe to the Carmine Box after reading some good reviews on Melissa's and Mandy's blogs, but I found out today on twitter that Carmine and Glossybox are now merging, and Carmine subscribers can subscribe to Glossybox instead! This is a real shame as I don't want to subscribe to Glossybox! If you have any questions about the merge, see their FAQs.

Hope everyone's had a nice week and is looking forward to the weekend!

    1. Yeah it is quite good I would've just preferred more makeup and less bodycare product really! xx

  2. Teint Miracle is most definitely a foundation! It's one of my favourites. I'd recommend subbing to She Said Beauty xx
