Glam Glossybox April
April's Glossybox was such a lovely Marilyn Monroe theme that looks so pretty, I didn't even want to open it! The box was completely white with a black and white drawing of Marilyn and inside everything was wrapped up in a pale blue theme.
The products inside my glossybox this month were so spring-inspired with some pale colours and bold pieces too. I received a warm lavender body lotion, Colour Club nail varnish in Barely there colour, Lord & Berry lip crayon, Astral moisturiser and kajal pen pop.
As mentioned in the previous Glossybox post, I love nail varnish so I was very happy to see another one in the post this month. The one I received really is a 'barely there' nail varnish and when painted it is a very sheer colour but this is good for when you want to have a more natural look.
The new product is one I like to keep for those days I'm feeling glam and want to have some fun with my look! Its Lord & Berry's crayon lipstick in the colour Kiss. It's such a vibrant colour but works well with my skin tone so I love it! I do need to make sure I have a lip balm underneath though as crayon's can be quite drying.
I already have my go to moisturiser/facial oil and because I have sensitive skin, I don't like to test too many skin products out. I read that this product is good for even acne prone skin though so I decided to try it out. When applying it, it does feel thick and that made me cautious about using it again. However, it did leave my skin feeling very moisturised. I wouldn't quickly swap this product into my go-to skincare routine as it is hard to get use to but I will use it especially when I have dry areas.
The last product is kajal pen pop eyeliner which has a smudging sponge on the end. I've never thought that smokey eyes suit asian mono-lids so I'd never use that end. I did try out the eyeliner once but once was enough because I ended up looking like a panda and had to constantly wipe the black that bled to my lower lid. From my previous eyeliner posts, I did mention that I have problems with eyeliners that smudge to my bottom lid throughout the day and this happens to be one of them!
Overall, it was a great box with some great products! I am waiting to be wow-ed by a product but there have been some keepers but equally some binned products. I still love receiving them in the post though and unpacking them gets me excited each time! However the products displayed on the website definitely seem much more likeable than some of the ones I've been receiving! My hopes are up for future boxes though :D
