I was half impressed half disheartened at the cheap drugstore brands in the December edition so I was waiting with baited breath to see what January would bring.
I am so happy to say it did not disappoint! There are 5 good products in this months edition a huge 4 of which are full size! It’s well worth the money this month.
Here’s whats I got –
Glossybox Eyeshadow in Glossy Mauve
Glossybox’s own brand which I have to admit didn’t know existed! This is a decent size and valued at £7.10 (random to be end on 10p but hey!).
This is a lovely colour and didn’t have any fall out when I swatched it on my hand. It goes on nice and smooth and I can’t wait to try it out properly!
Nicka K Shine Airbrush Blending Sponge
At first glance I thought this was a Beauty Blender and thought GB had really pushed the boat out! But nonetheless at £6.50 this still looks a decent sponge and its a good shape and I’m looking forward to using this. My current sponges in rotation are breaking so this came at the optimum time!
Teeez Cosmetics Oasis Gem Lipstick
This is lovely it has a unique design that I’ve never seen on a lipstick before. It has a satin finish and is meant to moisturise the lips. It’s a gorgeous bright orange which GB said is perfect for the winter months but personally I don’t wear orange until Summer rolls around! Nevertheless I look forward to digging it up when the sun shines again.
Madara Cellular Repair Serum
This is the only product that isn’t full sized its “luxury size” whatever that means! It uses birch juice which is apparently the in thing in the beauty world at the mo and it plumps, hydrates and radiates the skin.
Unani Dermo Defense Face Mask
This is also full size and its quite big for a face mask! Its ideal for sensitive skin which is good. Using once or twice a week means you will notice a different in skins regeneration. This is a pretty big claim so I am excited to try this out!
What did you get any of these in this months GB? What did you think? Let me know below!
Thank you so much for reading!

I’ve only ever had one glossy box and I was so disappointed by it! This one looks pretty impressive though so I might sign back up. I love the look of that face mask! X
sophiesbeautyonabudget says
Oh no really? Which month was it? I’ve liked every one I’ve had so far I’ve had 3 I think! 🙂 X
alicetherase says
It was a collaboration that Glossy Box were doing with Selfridges (At least I think it was Selfridges) and it was quite a bit more expensive than their regular box. A bunch of mini products that I couldn’t seem to get on with, but this one looks so cool! X
sophiesbeautyonabudget says
Ooh ok fair doos! Yeah they do one off boxes for like £30 or something they did one with NARS! The monthly subscriptions have been quite good so far! 🙂 X
Isabelle says

Just My Look says
Great post 🙂 I got mostly the same items this month, except I got a bronzer instead of the sponge. What do you think of the sponge? I got it in a box last year and I didn’t get on too great with it!x
sophiesbeautyonabudget says
Ooh id have rather had a bronzer! The sponge is too stiff and I can’t get it under my eyelashes to properly blend my concealer!! So not too impressed tbh! It’s a shame your bronzer was duplicated! 🙁 X
Just My Look says
Yeah I found the sponge so stiff when I had it too. Like bouncing it on my face was actually hurting me lol and it didn’t blend my foundation at all!!x
sophiesbeautyonabudget says
Yeah I thought the same lol!! It’s not good is it!! X

I was so unimpressed with this months Glossybox that I am considering cancelling my subscription!
The eyeshadow was the best product for me and I got the beauty blender in a box last year and wasn’t really impressed with that!
