The Glossybox team have given us two treats in February with their Valentines Edition box (review here) and then this beautiful limited edition Spoil Me Silly box.
Theme
This box is all about pampering and has been suggested as a great gift for Mother’s Day if you were able to snap one up.
This box is a really pretty blue-gray colour finished off with art-deco type gold detailing. Very sophisticated!
Product Overview
In this limited edition box we’ve been treated to seven different products although some of these include two items so altogether there’s nine.
Box Worth
To purchase everything in this box (at full-size) would be £85. This box was £30 for Glossybox subscribers and £35 to non-subscribers (plus p&p for both).
Unboxing
I’m including individual pictures for each item since this is a special box. The first thing is something we received in the Valentine’s Box and it’s the Naobay Protective Hair Mask Volume Conditioner.
Now, I was slightly annoyed at this initially as it was included with a box I only received a couple of weeks ago and I can understand why Glossybox have received a lot of comments from subscribers who feel a little conned. However, after using this a couple of times I’ve changed my mind over my first thoughts and really like this mask and due to this I was happy to receive more.
The first ‘new’ product is a cleanser by Aurelia accompanied by a cute little muslin cloth. This claims to decongest and soothe your skin. I’m not a huge fan of these types of cleansers and I’m not keen on the scent so this may be a product I give away. To buy at full-size would set you back £34 and I can definitely say I wouldn’t be paying that for this type of cleanser unfortunately.
Next up is a lip product which is always exciting to receive. Laqa & Co Lip Lube in the shade Honeypot. This is a lip balm so will provide a nice tint to your lips. It smells really strongly of peppermint but I don’t see this listed in the ingredients. It’s not a great shade for me but I’ll certainly give it a go.
Crabtree & Evelyn hand cream/lotion is always a welcome addition to my beauty collection and this one is the perfect size for my handbag. The scent is pomegranate, argan and grapeseed. It absorbs into the skin quickly and the scent isn’t too strong which I prefer with hand cream.
I’m really happy this was included in this box as I’ve been looking for a night time beauty cream for a while. This Beauty Sleep Face Mask by Sanctuary should be applied at night 1 – 2 times a week over a cleansed face and left to work it’s magic. They’ve even thrown in a cute eye mask!
The Eyeko lash curlers are another welcome edition to my makeup bag. according to the information provided, you should receive a no-kink, pinch free curl due to the thick silicone pads.
I really like the design of these but the only thing that bothers me is that the handles are a velvet-like finish so are guaranteed to look dirty really quickly and won’t be easy to clean. Not a huge issue but I’d have preferred a different handle covering.
The last item to unbox was these stunning Stella & Dot Vintage Crystal Stud earrings. These are exactly my style so no surprises that I love them. Even the packaging is beautiful. I don’t own anything else from Stella & Dot but I’ll be checking out their website shortly.
Overall I’m really happy with this box although I think a couple of the products could have been better – especially the cleanser and lip balm.
