GlossyBox is one of the UK most popular beauty subscription boxes. I have reviewed this before many years ago as part of my Beauty Box review series, to see that post, click here
September’s GlossyBox theme is Back to School which they say contains products to help you get prepped and organised. It comes with 6 products, 5 full sizes and 1 deluxe mini size. The contents are worth £64.16 when purchased separately but with GlossyBox you pay £10 plus £3.95 postage.
In the Back to School Box you get
BeautyPro Detoxifying Bubbling Mask with Activating Charcoal (full size)– worth £4.95
Daily Concepts Your Facial Mini Scrubber (full size) – worth £8.85
Bang Beauty Eyebrow Cream (full size) – worth £16.80
Karl Langerfeld + ModelCo Lip Liner in Rosewood (full size) – worth £25

Swatches of the Eyebrow Cream & Lipliner
Overall thoughts
It’s not an exciting box, I haven’t heard of most of the brands but I think that’s the point of a monthly subscription box: you get introduced to different brands.
I like the colour and texture of the lip liner, it has great colour payoff and a creamy texture but I don’t know about the £25 price tag. The brow product is totally useless to me. It’s a very waxy pomade and the shade is a very ashy brown/grey that looks chalky/ashy on me. There are only 2 products I am actually looking forward to using- the facemask and the mini facial scrubber
I actually only got this box to gain priority access and a £5 discount off their Sunday Riley Limited Edition Box that is launching next week! I am so excited! I missed out on their last limited edition boxes ( La Mer and NARS) so I didn’t want to miss out on this too! I have recently tried Good Genes( I bought their Flash Kit from Beautylish) and I have really enjoyed it plus I have always wanted to try more from the brand.
PS- They are also releasing their 1st ever Beauty Advent Calendar! For more info on it, click here
Verdict
I don’t find the box exciting but it has some nice products and I have been introduced to new brands. It’s definitely worth a lot more than what you pay for but if you can’t use the items then it’s almost like mehh. I think when it comes to coloured cosmetics e.g. the brow product, it would be better if they had a few shades and given people the option to select their perfect shade
Are you a #glossie? What did you think of the September Back to School Edition box?
More importantly, are you looking forward to the Sunday Riley Box?
