GlossyBox & JolieBox December 2012

I thought I would put both of these into one review, these are probably old news now but better late than never!

GlossyBox
This month it came in a pretty silver box and had a little extra thrown in.

Rituals - Magic Touch
This is an ultra rich, whipped body cream. Cherry blossom & Rice milk, smells quite nice. According to the little blurb on the index card it intensively nourishes and firms skin. As I already have a multitude of body lotions and potions I think I will just be adding this to my stash for when I run out.

SebaMed - Anti-Dry Hydrating Body Lotion
Another body lotion....I don't really suffer from super dry skin so I think I will be saving this for any dry attacks. Organic ingredients and sensitive skin friendly, quite a small sample considering it's a body lotion.

Mary Greenwell - Lemon
A perfume sample, I do like the fact it has a spray top as I hate the ones that you have to dab on. A very light fragrance so would be perfect so summer days, not sure though if it's a smell I would wear.

Seche - Risque
A very dark purple nail varnish, I'm yet to try this but think it will make a good toe colour. Being super pale I think this would be a bit too dark for my fingers.

Sleek - Amped
A very pretty matte pink. I'm glad I received this colour as I tend to wear a lot more pinks than other lip colours. This is my first Sleek product so I will see how well it wears.

GlossyBox Blusher - Glossy Pink
This was the little extra thrown in, quite a good pigment and adds a nice bit of colour to my cheeks. Thanks GlossyBox!


JolieBox
This months box was a very nice gold design, fancy!

The first things I spotted when opening this box were these! Two Lindor bars, I have never seen the bars before but oh my god, they were delicious!

Dr Duve - Hand & Decollete Cream
I really wish these boxes would stop putting creams in bloody sachets! I got two of these so gave one to mummy. This is supposed to minimise lines and provide long-lasting moisture. Another cream to be used with my cotton gloves.

Olay - Regenerist Skin Cream
I gave this away to mum as she uses Olay. I guess this is an anti-ageing face cream, it doesn't really say what benefits it has.

Agua De Colonia Concentrada - Alvarez Gomez
This is a mix of lemon, thyme, lavender, eucalyptus, geranium & rosemary. The result is disgusting, I find this very strong and just no...

Colour Club - Put A Pin In It
This nail varnish was made exclusively for JolieBox members, I got this light shimmery bronze colour. Very pretty.

Yon-Ka - Pamplemousse Moisturiser
I got the normal to dry skin so not sure how well it's going to work on my oily areas. A protecting and vitalising face cream which also doubles as a make up base. Possibly use this on any dry patches rather than an all over cream.

BellaPierre - Shimmer Powder
I got mine in Earth. I've used pigment powders before and really enjoyed the results so I think this will be good to glitter up a neutral look.

I Love.... - Shimmer & Shine Lip Gloss
This smells so good! Having used a face mask by I Love before and really disliking it I was a bit hesitant about this lip gloss. It gives a sheer look and isn't too sticky so not a bad product.

Overall I'm not sure which one I have enjoyed more. Both has some good bits and some not so...I have renewed my subscription to both boxes so looking forward to seeing what goodies arrive next year.
