Well its arrived!!! The March Glossy Box done by Harrods!!!

I did say last month that I would see how this month went to see if I was going to cancel my subscription or not and I have to say I am very impressed with this months box. Although they are not all products that I will personally use, my mum - who I share the box with - will use them :)

So heres what I got this month -

•  Molton Brown Shower Gel
• Clarins Extra Firming Body Cream
• YSL forever Serum
• Burberry Lipstick in shade copper
• Narciso Rodriguez perfume 

The only thing missing from this months box is the bit that tells you how much the products are for full price products.

I completely LOVE the Burberry lipstick. It has a lovely moisture texture to it which I like in a lipstick because I think some can be a bit dry. I'll let you know what my mum thinks of the products she is trying...

If you fancy it pop over to youtube and watch my video blog of me opening my box and what I think of the products. :)

Ok so I totally missed tutorial tuesday yesterday as I spent the day watching films, colouring, painting, playing games and writing stories with the little boy next door who I looked after yesterday because his school has had to close because of an outbreak. Then last night me, Matt and Liam went to a pub quiz. Neadless to say we didnt win but I think 20/50 isnt bad for a first attempt at that quiz - the questions were all a mixture and not like a normal pub quiz but I think I may have just found something to entertain ourselves on a Tuesday night :)

Anyway tonight is Guides night and I wanted to share with you the activity I have come up with for the Guides to do tonight. I was in charge tonight of coming up with a crafty thing we could do for mothers day. I wanted something cheap and chearful and so I decided on Bath Bombs!!!

Heres How I made them and what you need :)

- Bicarbonate of Soda/Baking Powder
- Citrus Acid

These are the basic 2 ingredients and then you can pretty much customise how you want with smells and colours. You can use essential oils which are avaliable in pretty much any flavour you would ever want.
I chose to use radox bath muscle soak mainly because it gives both colour and smell for 89p which for a guide activity.
To make the amount you can see in the picture here I used 40g of bicarbonate of soda and 20g of citrus acid. Obviously you can use more if you want bigger bath bombs.

Mix your ingredients all together. I used a jug from the bathroom, I am using plastic bowls tonight with the guides, just so you dont leave a smell on the ones you eat with. Once I mixed these in a bowl I added a tbsp of radox muscle soak powder and then gradually added a tbsp at a time of water. I cant remember how much water I exactly used but it wasnt alot really. Just enough to bind it all together. It may start fizzing a bit but give it a good mix and then mould into balls.
Leave it to dry a bit and it will go hard. Put it in a lovely box and you could give it to your mum for mothers day.

If you want to make quite a few bath bombs in bulk then I would suggest you buy your bicarbonate of soda and citrus acid online. I asked in a couple of supermarkets if they did it in more than 200g and they said had to stop selling it in bulk because people use it to cut drugs with. I had it from this seller on eBay.

Im afraid this weeks Tutorial Tuesday is another picture I came across online, however I am TOTALLY in love with this and it makes me wish that my hair was long enough to do this with. I think it would be lovely for weddings or proms with a lovely dress girly summer/springy dress. :)

So after waiting just under 2 weeks longer than it should have arrived, my Glossy Box finally turned up on Thursday. I would like to tell you that it was totally worth the wait but I have to say, Glossy Box I am disappointed this month. I know there have been very mixed reviews about this months Glossy Box. Some people have totally been in love with what they got and others havent really liked what they got, to the point where they were so disappointed with this months box they cancelled their subscription.

So here is what came in my box.


The first thing I noticed when I opened the box is how .. well .. small everything was.. having only had 2 boxes before this which were packed with products so much that none of them could move you could see the difference as soon as you opened this box.

The products:

•  Paul Mitchell Styling Treatment Oil (£25.95) - Without using this product I know that I am going to get absolutely NO use out of it because this is not suited to my hair at all. It makes me wonder why I bothered filling the questionnaire at all... Looking at the other Paul Mitchell products which could have appeared in my Glossy Box any of the others would have been more suited. 
• Becca Beach Tint Watermelon (£20) - This one is probably the only one of the items in the Glossy Box that I totally love this month. It says that it a lip and cheek tint but I think I wont be using it on my cheeks as its the wrong shade - I cant use pinky shades on my cheeks (I use bronzer for blusher) - However I totally love it as a lip tint! I dont really like wearing lipstick, I am more of a gloss girl so this one with a bit of colour in, I LOVE! I wouldnt pay the full retail price for it though...
• BM Beauty Pure Mineral Eye Shadow (£7) - Having recently fallen in love with Mineral Foundation/Powder I was quite looking forward to trying this product. The black colour is got isnt one I would have picked myself but I am willing to give it a try.
• Dr Bronners Magic Lavender Hand Sanitiser (£3.99) - I could spell this product as soon as I took the Glossy Box from the outer packaging. There is just something about lavender which reminds me of old ladies.. (sorry stereotype I know)... I tried spraying this on my hands and I loved the idea that it is a spray instead of a gel because you can spray as much or as little as you want. However I really dislike the smell. I think Lavender is one of those smells you just dont want lingering especially on your hands! I definately wont be using this! 
• Como Sambhala Invigorate Shower Gel (£20) - Again with the above I TOTALLY dislike this smell!! I like a shower gel thats fruity or girly and this to me isnt anything like this, to me it smells quite masculine (maybe thats just me). Probably wont use.

Overall like many people I am very disappointed with this months box! I will probably only use 1/2 of the products in this box :(
I am willing to give Glossy box the benefit of the doubt for this month and give them another month to up their game and from what I have so far heard about the March Box - Harrods are designing it - it is set to be good! If not I shall be unsubsribing and looking for another beauty box.

I have done a video / ramble about Glossy box too which is currently taking forever to upload.. I shall share when it is done! :)

Have you had this months Glossy Box?? What did you think???
