I don't think all the products I received fitted into this theme, but that doesn't mean that I don't like them!
The first product is but the brand Anatomicals, 'Don't just clean in woman, scrub it' body scrub. I'm always in the market for a body scrub as I find a lot of body scrubs leave behind a thick layer of Vaseline type oil on my skin, which I just don't like. So I was delighted when I tried this and it was a nice gel consistency. It smells of pink grapefruit, which smells delightfully zingy in the shower, and perfect to start the morning off!
I'm slightly disappointed with the size of the exfoliant beads in this, as I feel there are more suited a face scrub and not the body, but I suppose they are more gentle on the body and buffs just enough. The packaging and branding is very similar to brands like Soap and Glory and Benefit who use retro images and word play about female stereotypes. Overall I really like this!
Full size is £3.49, deluxe sample is worth £1.30
The next product is Dermalogica's 3 step day and night kit. The size and products included in this kit are perfect for travelling with. It includes a gel foaming wash, which is very thick and slightly harsh on my skin (which is very dry) and leaves it feeling very tight. A spray mist toner, which I actually love as it cuts down on cotton pad waste! And finally a moisturiser with SPF 15 which worked fine on my skin.
I do really like this set, with one small gripe, I'm not overly keen on the scent of the products, they are a sweet citrus scent, slightly sherberty, which unfortunately is a bit too toilety for my liking but luckily it fades very quickly once on the skin.
Each kit costs £12
My box a lso had the Skinetica Anti-Blemish Solution. I usually use a gel spot treatment from Avon which works a treat to dry the spots out for me, so I was interested to try this. It smells really fresh and clean, it doesn't sting on application, but I haven't noticed drastic results with this. It does say in the Glossybox leaflet that it takes a 2-3 days to see results so I think I need to bide my time and it may be a miracle worker!
Full size is £6.99, deluxe sample costs about £0.70 - £1.00
The last product is Yves Rocher Moisurising Cream Lipstick in 101 Framboise. I am a giant lipstick junkie, so I am always pleased to see a lippy in my Glossybox! This is a really pretty bright red upon fist application, it glides onto the lips like a balm and feels really comfortable on. I had no problems with it bleeding, I even ate a sandwich about half an hour after putting it on and it barely shifted, it just faded to a more darkish fuchsia colour. And it smells like talcum power!
Lipstick costs £14.50
Overall I think this is a great Glossybox, I'm very impressed and shall continue to enjoy these products!
