hello everyone,so it time for my glossy box post and after sneaking a peak on line i seem to have a different product inside my box.
this months theme was city chic. so the products are included to help you achieve from the boardroom to the bar stool look.
also included is the my little travelling book.the city book covers most major international cities,with tips ,shops,includes stickers as an extra,quite a lovely little read and pocket size .

so here's my box.menu and little city book.

inside my glossy.

glossy box city chic

so this box has a bit of everything ,some of the things need looking at for resale as they are not made well enough .


tresemme salon Finnish extra hold hairspray   £4.69 for 500ml sample given 100ml.
now tresemme say this is fast drying and gives all day flexible control ,this extra hold is humidity resistant ,
well i don't like tresemme products as they have too much rubbish in  them but humidity test wore it today in my hair at work in the kitchen ,it failed miserably.so glad i never brought it.

tresemme hair spray

loccitaine immortelle precious cream, £43 for 50ml, sample given 15ml
i love getting these creams as a little goes a long way ,it there major selling anti ageing cream and if you have tried it your probably agree.sinks well into skin and not greasy .

immortelle precious cream

jelly pong pong cosmetics lip stain,£12 ,full size given.2.5g.
these were released for valentines day ,its a rich moisturising  creamy lip stain in bright red .
this is labelled as cruelty free ,made ,packaged ,assembled,in china in case any of you want to know ethics wise . just a note of warning when opening be careful as when you pull the lid off the colour stick shoots out onto the floor as its not pushed down or pressed into the tube,this contains beeswax and ceresin wax for smooth application. would of been OK if in a different colour and for an extra few quid you can get a clarins chubby instead which is far better made .

jelly pong pong lip stain

Elizabeth Arden eight hour  cream protection fragrance free. £25 for 50ml,sample given 7ml.
a tried and tested classic,every  girls on the go must have,created in 1930its won the UK beauty editors favourite product for the past 7 years .a universal balm a little goes a long way ,the sample was very dry i found it a bit greasy for my skin.

Elizabeth Arden eight hour cream

nails inc bruton st. 10ml £11 sample given 4ml mini pot.
this is a dusky nude pink shade ,i do like these mini sizes as you can try a shade without wasting money buying a large bottle ,i personally love nails inc as they are thick and i find they don't chip on my nails.you cant really go wrong with nail polish in  box .

nails inc bruton st.

so a nice mixed box of products some i will use some i will pass on .but it was a glossy dots box so i can be happy knowing it was my free box.
so did you get this box or a different box,have you brought these products separately  what would you say about them are they any good. thank you for reading .

Little bit about the fair-trade Shea butter-
its a natural beauty balm,used by women in sub Saharan Africa.since 1980sloccitaine has maintained sustainable and fair trade partnerships with the women in burkina faso.loccitaine further support these women in return with literacy programs,entrepreneurship projects.

so I'm really looking at the new whipped Shea honey utter cream.but looking further i saw some more honey range items and thought i would do a bulk order of the range instead .so this is what i ended up buying and also had a code through the mail as well ,handy ,
so first off i decided on a duo as it was better than buying singles and also got the added bonus of loving both.

Shea butter and honey body care duo

so here is the Shea butter and honey body care duo -consisting of 125g of Shea honey whipped  body butter
this is a smooth softening aerated butter that feels like a souffle and blends well , it contains 10% Shea ,the honey extracts just cuts through the sickly Shea butter scent ,it sinks into the skin lovely and keeps the skin lovely and soft all day.i also love that the cream is in a good size tin that is self contained in a plastic container so the tin will be reused after .tolerance dermatological tested for sensitive skin.

Shea butter and honey whipped body cream.

Shea honey whipped cream on skin.

and the 250ml honey Shea firming gel.
now this i think i will be buying again think neat honey, it is truly a really thick gel i  mean really thick,a little goes a long way and lathers so thick and creamy  which i think is partially to the Shea .
it is also tolerance dermatological tested  for people with sensitive skin.

Shea firming gel

Shea honey firming gel

or separately Shea honey whipped body butter £16 for 125g

next up is the honey Shea hand cream, 30ml £8
