December Treat Boxes...

This month I received a couple of treat boxes as I like to call them... One was from 'GlossyBox' who had a red glossy box for the festive month and the other from 'JolieBox' who had a matte black which looks much more chic in my opinion.

Moving on, let's take a look inside!


First let's talk about 'GlossyBox'.


Here's what was inside mine:

• Blink+Go Hi-Definition mascara
• Cargo Cosmetics Classic Lip Gloss
• Deborah Lipmann Nail Varnish (Razzle Dazzle) & stripper sachet
  
• MeMeMe Seventh Heaven Moisturising Face Base
• Rituals Foaming Shower Gel

Here's what I think:

When I saw the Deborah Lipmann nail polish which is the perfect shade for this time of the year I was overly excited, the lipgloss & showergel are pleasent to use and I am yet to try the mascara. The MeMeMe face base left me a little confused as it isn't high end to be honest I'm not even excited to try it. I can see from the website that some people got eyeshadows, again it would be nice if we either all got the same thing or had a choice.


Now let's talk about 'JolieBox' who has joined forces with Boudoir Prive.


Here's what was inside mine:

• OPI Gold Shatter
  
• Mitchell & Peach Shower Gel
• Cid - igloss 'Baby Doll'
  
• Jane Iredale 24 Karat Gold Dust
• YON-KA Vital Defence Cream
• Kusmi Detox Tea
• JolieBox Concealer Brush
  

Here's what I think:

The star of this box is no doubt the OPI gold shatter, the lip gloss is a nice shade and the brush looks good too, the shower gel will get used up as I just love trying new shower gels for some reason. The Jane Iredale Gold Dust is nice but causes a bit of a mess when trying to use it, the Kusmi tea smells great and I like the tin! The sachet of cream will be interesting to try as I have never heard of the brand Yon-Ka.


OVERALL THOUGHTS

Both boxes hold an array of treats for a £10 monthly subscription, however, this months winner for me has to be the JolieBox as I don't really have anything negative to say about it. There are more subscription boxes creeping into the UK market and due to higher levels of competition they are all out there to impress so, we the consumer can highly benefit at the moment as we are getting a good deal for our ££'s! FYI: GlossyBox have even launched a GlossyBox for men!!!
One thing that I am glad both companies picked up on this month is the perfume samples, the ones I got in the past were not very nice to say the least and I am glad they have been excluded this month. I am actually rather excited about JolieBox as they have teamed up with some great French brands and I can't wait to see what will be included next.
These monthly subscriptions can be a hit one month and a miss the next. If you are prepared to take the risk then these treat boxes might be the thing for you.
