October Glossybox 2013


I wasn't even going to do a post on this months Glossybox because it's so rubbish but that little creature of habit inside of me got the better of me! The theme of this months box was very Halloween/autumn appropriate - Dark Romance, I was really excited for this box and was thinking berry shades and dry skin banishing moisturisers...erm I thought wrong.

MeMeMe Cherub's Blush Cheek & Lip Tint
This is meant to be a bit of a dupe for Benefit Benetint and is probably the only fitting thing in the box. It's a raspberry coloured tint for cheeks and lips that will leave a nice 'flushed by the cold' look. I'm more of a peachy cheeked girl but the whole point of this box is joining the dark side so I'll be giving it ago although I do think it might end up at the bottom of my make up basket.

Katy Perry Killer Queen Perfume Sample
I hate getting perfume samples as much as the next person but I'm a little biased with this one because as you all know I worship at the alter of Katy Perry. This is a little bit too heavy for me and completely different from her other perfumes (that I own - Katy, I love you!!!) Floriental is the perfect was to describe this but it's a good job I didn't fall head over hells with this because there are literally 2 squirts in the little vial.

Monu Illuminating Primer
This is the one thing that I was really excited to see nestled in that black shredded paper, I've never actually bought anything Monu myself but have received quite a few bits in beauty boxes and have loved them all. This is an illuminating primer that is meant to brighten up your complexion and I definitely need that now the weathers on the turn because my skin takes a bit of a battering!

Premae Multi-Vit Smoothie Serum
This is a kind of pre-moisturising step but I struggle enough remembering to moisturise without adding another step into the equation! You can also add this to a liquid foundation to make a BB cream and I probably will get more use out of it this way but my BB creams have been stored away until we get a shred of heat again.

Vita Liberata Latte Illuminating Skin Finish
This is a bronzer for the body which I have no idea how this made it into the Dark Romance box, I'm embracing the English rose look and letting my natural paleness shine through, my vitiman D intake is flagging so I'm definitely not bronzed and even if I was these 2 sachets wouldn't even cover one of my arms.

This months box is bloody terrible, did anyone actually get a decent variation of this 'Dark Romance' box?!

    1. Regardless of the fact that I'd swap Joel for Katy, Purr is definitely the perfect sweet smelling day perfume! xx

    1. Glossybox usually get it so right but I definitely wouldn't recommend them on this box and would point you in the direction of Birchbox. I'd wait until next months and see if they buck their ideas up and if they do then get subscribed in time for Xmas! xx
