Glossybox advent calendar 2018

Anyone else with the Glossybox calendar and want to discuss what you’ve got each day ?

Day 1 - not a shade I would have chosen (I got the pink-red called Burning Love) but it actually looks really good on. I like the texture, gloss enough to be able to put a light layer on if you don’t want to go the whole hog.
All in all, v pleased with that for day 1.

Anyone else ?!

Definitely in the market for new skincare discoveries so this should be interesting.

Think today's lip item will be going on the swaps pile, don't wear lip stuff enough to use it!

SymphonyofShadows · 11/12/2018 08:04

I was hoping this would be double ended with a lip colour, never mind.

Caggie09 · 11/12/2018 08:29

Basically like the lip primer we had, but instead you put this on top. Would of liked a colour tbh..

JennyHolzersGhost · 11/12/2018 09:08

Hmmm this seems like a product that’s most useful for a regular lipstick user. I too would have preferred another lip colour.

My dd has taken this and said she will wear it as a lip gloss.

Lelly78 · 11/12/2018 22:13

Lelly78 · 11/12/2018 22:14

Interesting typo...

mashpot · 11/12/2018 22:52

Remember I got the wrong glossybox? They sent me a new one today and it’s wrong again! Different products to what I had before but still only 24 boxes and not the same as you lot! Grrrrrrrr!

JustLurkingAway · 12/12/2018 08:11

I think today's palette may go on the swaps pile tooXmas Blush I have, however, been wearing the mascara every day!

youngestisapsycho · 12/12/2018 08:32

Those eyeshadow colours are quite something!

Caggie09 · 12/12/2018 09:19

I dont wear eyeshadow, if i did id be happy. Ill be giving it away!Smile

JennyHolzersGhost · 12/12/2018 09:47

Wow colours ! Shock I can’t decide whether to keep it or put it on the swaps pile. I love the navy and the gold.

JennyHolzersGhost · 12/12/2018 09:48

PS. My best products so far = the mascara, the conditioner and the two serums.

RJnomore1 · 12/12/2018 21:48

I love this palette

I don't think mind has a navy though - are there two colour ways again? Mine is called cosmic vixen.

ScouseQueen · 12/12/2018 21:53

I have Cosmic Vixen too. No navy in it. Think I prefer the sound of the other one!

starrynight19 · 12/12/2018 22:58

Oh no mashpot think you need a refund.

Dd likes the palette today so handing it over, far too bright for me

JustLurkingAway · 13/12/2018 12:57

Very intrigued by today's itemConfused

Caggie09 · 13/12/2018 14:38

Yeah, im not sure either. Is it a facial cleanser sponge thing? Or do use it with a cleanser. Need to read up on it!

JennyHolzersGhost · 13/12/2018 15:54

Judging by the blurb on the Glossybox website it doesn’t need additional cleanser - it contains cleansing ingredients. It’s biodegradable and so is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional cleansers, allegedly. I was hoping for a cleanser so I’ll give it a good try !

Re eyeshadow - maybe not navy. I meant the blue one bottom right in the palette. Maybe more like mid blue ? The gold one is above it.

Lelly78 · 13/12/2018 21:58

I'm quite looking forward to the sponge but bit sure whether to use it first or second as I generally double cleanse... any ideas?

MUA palette £5
Konjac sponge £11.40

£125.86

Caggie09 · 14/12/2018 06:44

Im going to use the sponge for travelling. Pop in my hand luggage, saves taking a liquid.

I use a hair mask weekly, so this will get popped away. Only 11 more goodies to get though!Sad

JennyHolzersGhost · 14/12/2018 09:23

I used the sponge last night. Seemed to work well. I usually use a flannel but this seems like a good option too so will keep using it.

I like the hair mask. Smells nice, will use. Full sized tube - good value !
