Near the start of the year my friend bought me a 12 month pre-paid subscription to Glossybox for my birthday as one of my NY Resolutions was self care. I've slowly been whittling my way through the various products and the backlog from my M&S and Amazon advent calendars with the added side items I'd bought from poundland etc.

All had been going well until I got to this months Delhicious Beauty Original Black Tea Body Scrub. Ugh!

The positives being that my skin does feel lovely and soft but that could be because I've scrubbed all the skin off my hands Grin .

It was supposed to be a lovely little treat but it caused more work than ever cleaning the bathroom afterwards and wasn't as relaxing as it should be. I swear that little bastard got in places that I hadn't even been near! I had to rinse my body three times and the shower curtain and tiles at the sides at least six! It even needed the tiles bleaching because bits of the tea part had gotten in the grout Hmm

When I got out and checked the mirror - there was even a piece in my tear duct!

What are your products that you've tried and not liked or that didn't respond in the same way as you thought they would/they said?

Haha I loved that scrub! But yes, I don’t actually think the soft skin was worth the clean up effort it required.. YSL foundation.. looked great when the lady applied it in store so bought it on the spot. By the time I got home a few hours later it had literally ran down my face. The look of horror on my mums face when I walked in.. complete waste of money!! Also, any product that claims to get rid of dark circles.. I’ve tried them all, none work Angry
