As Glossybox wishes everyone a very Merry Christmas, it has been quite the year for them. Boxes selling out before they have even launched, an incredible Advent Calendar (review here) which I am opening daily on my Instagram Stories (here) and this month we have the 'All That Glitters' box looking all resplendent in festive red.
This box has already sold out but the ‘All That Glitters‘ December box is said to have been inspired by the glitz of the Christmas season – sparkly lights, late nights and red inspired by Father Christmas himself! Inside the box are 5 full-size products (3 of which are makeup) plus an EXTRA treat.
The first product out of the box is the Bellapierre Shimmer Roll in shade Champagne - Described as being an easy-to-use highlighter that glides on effortlessly to accentuate your facial features.
It is formulated with only three safe and natural ingredients and can be applied directly to the cheekbones, brow bones and the bridge of the nose. It blends like an absolute dream and is just so incredibly easy to use.
Next out of the box from Beauty Bvld comes the Divine Hydra Gel Lip Masks. Having used these masks before, they are designed to plump and smooth dry and damaged lips. The lip masks have three main aims - to plump, add moisture and contour. To do this, they use the natural elements from red seaweed plant, exfoliating properties derived from sugar beets and ingredients which occur naturally in green tea.
Hyaluronic Acid boosts hydration with Amino Acids helping the skin to stretch and bounce back into place. Anti-Oxidant rich Red Wine extract and Collagen components help to plump and smooth lips for an overall more youthful appearance.
Staying with Makeup and this time we have the Doucce Relentless Matte Lip Crayon in shade Winterberry. This is a new brand to me and until now, I had never heard of Doucce was born in New York, its name was inspired by the French word “douce”, which means soft and elegant.
The Relentless Matte Lip Crayon is described as being a long-lasting deeply pigmented lip colour that glides on to the lips giving an ultra-matte finish. The formula provides both high coverage and an incredibly creamy saturated finish, the shade Winterberry being a rich bold red shade, making it perfect for this time of year. The crayon also comes with a sharpener to keep the tip defined for easy and precise application.
Another brand I have never come across until now is Niko Pro and within the box, we have the Jelly Blusher in shade Bali. Niko is a British Vegan Brand who make some incredible looking makeup brushes and believe fur should remain on animals where it looks much cuter than on human beings (hear hear).
This liquid Jelly Blusher has shimmers of gold nestled within the pink hue of the blush and it is said to not only give your cheeks a flush of colour but also a bit of a sparkle too. The jelly formula is quite unlike any blusher texture I have used before and it is lightweight when applied and also quite hydrating too.
If you love Unicorns and Fantasy then you need to hunt down this bottle of shower gel from Imperial Leather because it will be ticking all your boxes. Called the Fantasy Icons Cosmic Unicorn Shower Gel, it is said to have been inspired by cosmic moons and sparkles.
It is scented with pink grapefruit, citrus and floral aromas and leaves your skin feeling magically soft. I think this is a lot of fun, anything that makes having a shower fun gets the thumbs up from me and being pink and loved by Unicorns hopefully means the Mister will leave it alone!
Finally within this months Glossybox we have 'The Incredible Pore Strip' by MayBeauty. I have had my eye on the MayBeauty Foot mask for some time, but this pore strip is the first product I have got in my hands to try.
These pore strips are designed to remove blackheads and impurities and have charcoal as one of the main ingredients alongside Aloe Vera and Witch Hazel. What I love about pore strips is removing them and seeing exactly what they do manage to remove from my nose, some have been totally useless and others have been incredibly good and I have high hopes for this brand given the rave reviews I have read.
