Glossy Box and Glossy Dots.

Well my very first Glossy Box arrived safe and sound yesterday. Practically felt like Christmas morning with the ordeal of unwrapping the little boxThis is the 6th edition of the monthly selection of beauty treatments and to celebrate, they have included a 6th product. This month I received: 1 Leighton Denny nail polish, a selection of Robert Piguet eau de parfums, a Stila eyeliner and a range of Dermalogica products and make up bag.


The aim of the glossy box is to provide subscribers with miniatures to try out before they spend time or money on the full size products. For £10 a month you receive 5 items to test out. You also don't have to commit to any long term contract and if one box is enough for you that's fine!


To be fair I think these companies should hand out their samples for free and I'm sure the majority of my money is spent on the extravagant packaging but it is useful to be given products I wouldn't normally even look at to add some excitement to my usual beauty routine. Its rather handy though when you can get a 25ml multi-vitamin skin polisher for roughly £2, rather than splash out £40.50 for the 75ml.They also have a loyalty scheme in place and by doing things such a giving feedback you can earn points to put towards a free Glossy Box.

I haven't used the skincare products yet but I'm a big fan of Leighton Denny so the polish is going down a treat with me and the eyeliner's autumnal tones are a refreshing change to my usual black smolder.

Get your very own Glossybox!

I'll be your full-time lover and your part-time friend.

The trauma of  the first post? Hmm....generally, by law, this should reek of the standard corny/dating profile esk/ trying to be unjustifiably quirky/overly funny/ hate the world/ bla bla bla drivel.


Pretty sure I will nail a fair few of these but lets continue on anyway....

A little of me :


1. I have an addiction to impossibly high shoes. Teetering at 6ft + is delightful but also dangerous. Stand back please. 2. Mary poppins style bags are my life saviours. Many a pickle has been solved by what lurks in my handbag. 3. I have an issue with adults with tiny hands (freaks me out big time). 4. I love hot ribena. 5. My hair is often several shades of ginger.

My aim for this blog is to maybe interest, amuse and potentially even inspire with the little ramblings, rants and just general love I have for those things fashionable.

See you soon,

 Much love, TSV xxx
