January Glossy Box

So it's that time again! Glossy Box is here. The box itself is slightly different this month, it's a little larger and now fits the Glossy Mag perfectly. It's also a lot more Glossy. I really like the new design, not that I didn't like the old boxes but this just feels a little bit more special. Inside they even have a new ribbon with Glossy Box on it, unfortunately I was unable to get a picture of this as Jess ran off with it and hid it as soon as she saw it and so far I have been unable to find it :(

This month's box is the Back to Basics box. I guess kind of predictable for January. I have read a few blogs and watched a few people's videos on youtube about this box and I would say the overall reaction to it is disappointment. I think I am one of only a small few that are actually quite happy with this box.

Ok so I admit it doesn't look like much, but I am pretty sure I will use all of these products and I have never tried any of them before. That's what Glossy Box is all about, trying something new. Ok so maybe there isn't a lot of value in this box but there is definitely more than the £10 I payed for it. The products I received are:

Yu-Be Moisturising Skin Cream £13.50 for 33g.  I received 2 samples at  3g each. Very small but the fact you get 2 kind of makes up for it. I had never heard of this brand before but after looking at the information I am quite excited to try it. I just hope it lives up to all the hype.

Balance Me Super Toning Body Wash £10.25 for 250ml. The bottle we got was a 50ml which is a nice size. I guess with the full size not being all that expensive it would be nice to get a bigger sample but I am quite happy with the size I received. I am sure it will be enough to decide if I like it or not.

The Vintage Cosmetic Company Floral Slanted Tweezers £8.00. I was so excited when I saw we were getting these. I wasn't in need of new tweezers but these are just so pretty. I seem to be getting into floral more recently. I have no idea where that has come from. Anyway again not exactly expensive but it's more than I would pay out for a pair of tweezers so I am pleased. They feel like a real quality product as well and I am sure I will get a lot of use out of them.

Anatomicals Puffy The Eye Bag Slayer Wake-Up Under Eye Patches £6.00 for 3 pack.
This product really intrigues me. Since going back to work I have been so tired that having bags under my eyes is just normal. Concealer helps but only so much. I am really looking forward to seeing if these work. I have never tried anything like this before so not sure what to expect.

Beauty UK CC Cream £4.99 for 25ml.  Again something I have never tried. CC creams have kind of gone over my head. I want to try them but don't want to spend the money to be disappointed I guess, so it's great that I have received one this month. Beauty UK is a brand I haven't really come across and certainly never purchased from but the product seems to be of ok quality, however I haven't tried it properly yet. All the same happy to have received it.

Overall I am pleased with everything I got in this month's box. Ok it's not the most exciting box ever but I will use everything in it and I get to try some brands I haven't come across before.

Do you get a Glossy Box? What did you receive this month? What was your view of it?
