March Glossbox - The Harrods Edition

It's that time of the month again where the postman delivers you that box of goodies! :)

This month is the special limited Harrods edition box! I was very excited to see what goodies was on its way and I was not disappointed!

 

So these are the products that I've received:

Valentino - Valentina Eau De Parfum

This is a sample size that I received of this perfume, when I first sprayed this on myself I wasn't a huge fame as it smells quite flowery and not what I'm into at all. As the day went by, I slowly started to like the smell on me. I've been wearing it for a week now and the smell is growing on me but I'm still not sure if I really like it as it reminds me slightly of what my nan would wear (sorry if I've offended you!) I'm still not a big fan of floral fragrances so I don't think I would buy the full size bottle.

Molton Brown - Vitalising Vitamin AB+C Bath and Shower

I absolutely love this! When I first tried this, the smell of it was amazing and it left my skin feeling cleansed and smelling great! I can't describe the smell but it was really fresh and citrusy. For the full size bottle it's £18 for 300ml which is quite expensive but I would consider buying this as a luxury shower gel! :)

SKII - Skin Signature

This is an anti-ageing moisturising cream which says to re-condition the skin, improve its resilience and leave the complexion smooth and radiant. As I'm only 24, I don't think this cream is for me but I thought I might as well start young! :) This cream is suitable for all skin type and it's fragrance free which some people would prefer. For me I don't mind if face creams have a fragrance or not, as long as it doesn't make my face too oily or make me break out it's fine for me! The cream is very lightweight and goes on my skin well, it doesn't leave your skin feeling sticky either. I checked to see how much the full size is and it's £127 for 80g! Think I might need to save some pennies if I want this face cream again! 

Lancome - Hypnose Drama Mascara

I'm really pleased that I have received this to try out and it's not been a disappointment! I love the 'curvaceous' brush and it does cover all of my lashes well. My lashes are pretty short and I feel like this makes them look longer and fuller. The full price is £21 which is quite a lot of a mascara but I would consider paying that amount for this!

Clarins - Extra-firming Body Cream

Another product that I've very happy to have received as I've always wanted to try out Clarins. The cream is very thick in consistency but does not leave your skin feeling sticky. It makes my skin feel really soft and it smells absolutely gorgeous! I would buy this product in full size for sure! :)

Shu Uemura - Cleansing Beauty Oil

I'm not too keen on this product. When I got it out the sachet and started to rub it on my face, the smell makes me think of cod liver oil. I don't mind this but after rinsing it off, my face felt quite oily and makes me want to wash my face more to wash it off (I suppose it is a cleansing 'oil' so it's suppose to be oily in some ways!) As my face is quite oily anyway, I don't think this is right for me. I like to feel that my greasy face is actually washed after a long day at work! Haha!

Overall I think this box is the best yet! I've read quite a few negative reviews on this month's box as it seems like most people want the Burberry Lipstick, but for me I'm happy to received what I got. Of course you're going to get something you love and others you're not to keen on, but that's what it's about! 

So what do you think of what you've received? Did you like the products you've got?
