May Glossy Box The Anniversary Edition!

I've been really excited about this months Glossy Box arriving, last months box was really good (click here to see what I got) and with this month being the Glossy Box one year anniversary I thought this one was going to be really special!


The box was so cute with the ribbon that said Anniversary Box and the gorgeous tissue paper with the pretty little pictures on, however when I opened it up I was pretty disappointed :(


I was expecting to find some great items in this months box and the items I got were really not that great.


The first item is Noble Isle Summer Rising Bath & Shower Gel, it smells nice but I never get excited about shower gel so I wasn't over the moon with this.


Next up is Weleda Iris, I actually have no idea what this is lol I think it's a face cream but that's all I know, the writing is all in German and the card you get in the Glossy Box just says face cream so I don't know what to do with this, again not very impressed.


Next up is Uniqone All In One Hair Treatment, this is a leave in hair mask and it sounds perfect for my hair. It claims to have 10 real effects which are 
  1. Repair for dry & damaged hair
  2. Shine & frizz control
  3. Heat protection
  4. Silkiness & smoothness
  5. Hair colour protection with UVA & UVB filters
  6. Easier brushing & ironing
  7. Incredible detangling
  8. Long-lasting hairstyle
  9. Split ends prevention
  10. Adds body
I'm really looking forward to using this, my favourite item in the box so far I think.


Next I got Let's Go Lashes Heartbreaker Strip Lashes, I love false lashes so I was really pleased I got these and they're exactly the kind that I'd normally buy so I know I'll get some use out of them.


There were two perfume samples this month and I must admit I'm not a big perfume fan, I wear it but I don't get super excited by it therefore I wasn't super excited to get two of them in one box. However I did change my mind as soon as I smelt them.


The first one is Lolita Lempicka Si Lolita and this perfume smells absolutely amazing! It's a very floral scent with notes of Sweet Pea and Magnolia and I'm in love with it, I love Sweet Peas they're such a beautiful flower and they smell amazing and this perfume is now at the top of my wish list and the bottle that it comes in is gorgeous!

How cute is the bottle?!


The second perfume sample is Lolita Lempicka L'Eau en Blanc and this also smells amazing although not quite as amazing as the first one. This perfume has notes of White Violets and Iris and is more of an evening scent I think whereas the first perfume is more daytime. I really like both of these perfumes and I'm actually really glad they were in my box.


Also in this months box is a Glossy Box compact mirror and a balloon which I'm sure my son will enjoy playing with.


Overall there were some nice things this month but I didn't get the wow factor that I was expecting and I'm kind of toying with the idea of cancelling my subscription, I don't know yet.

What do you think? Do you think it's worth £12.95 a month? Were you happy with your box this month or are you thinking of unsubscribing too? Let me know!
