I have been soooo busy lately that I just haven't had chance to try most of what's in this box. (Excuses, excuses...)
Burt's Bees Lip Shine
This is a lovely little lip gloss from Burt's Bees. The only problem is, I'm a bit odd and every time I use lip gloss, I develop a tickly throat and cough until I have to wipe it off... So, I've not really given this a test run. Can you blame me?
Lollipops Eye Pencil
How pretty is this? It's a retractable eyeliner pencil in 'Black: Goodbye Moon'. Lollipops is a brand that I've never stumbled across before, it's French. This pencil is supposed to be anti-aging... (Quite offended that Glossybox think I need that yet.) It also has Vitamin E, so it's nourishing and it doesn't contain preservatives either.
The fact that it's retractable is great because you don't need to sharpen it! It costs 14 euros, which is just over £11.
Green & Black's Organic Butterscotch Chocolate
Now this didn't last long. Yum.
(It was a special treat from Glossybox for being a subscriber for a year! That's lovely of them, isn't it?)
Monu Face Oil
This is Monu's Soothing Hawaii Facial Oil, with Cardamom, Sandalwood and Lavender.
My skin's been spotty recently, I don't want to risk making that worse by smearing my face with oil... So I've not tried this. I have tried Monu's bath oil though; which is gorgeous!
A full sized bottle of this, which is 100ml, costs a whopping £26.
H20+ Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment
Again, this is something super-nourishing and hydrating for skin. Which is great, if your skin needs it. It's not, if your skin is already spotty. Glossybox do say that it's oil-free, but I don't really want to risk it.
H20+ is also quite a premium/expensive brand. A full-size tub, which is 50ml, costs £27.50!
This is also 'age prevention', as it reduces the appearance of fine lines. What are you trying to say Glossybox?!
OGX Argon Oil Conditioner
Okay, confession time: This is another thing I ashamedly haven't got round to trying yet! A large bottle costs £6.99 from Boots. I've seen this in shops for ages and keep on meaning to try it!
I will try to write reviews of all the products that I've not been able to try yet in the coming weeks!
My Glossybox December review will also be up soon, so keep your eyes peeled for that!
Who wants a nice smelling face? Meeeeee.
This is one of those products that's a wonderful little treat. It's not really a necessity, but I adore Anatomicals, with their funny product names and packaging filled with jokes. The products themselves are lovely too, obviously.
Clint Eastwood's on the back of the bottle, for some reason... Which reads:
'Not Clint (as in Eastwood), more mint (as in peppermint) and a long list of other co-starring ingredients such as rose, lavender, aloe and witch hazel to leave your skin refreshed and radiant. You could say it's the spray that makes your day.'
You can use this as a setting spray, like I do. It can also be used to calm irritated skin down during the day or you can even use it to calm your nerves! (The lavender is supposed to have a calming effect...)
When applying it, you can spray it directly to your face, like me, or you can spray it onto a cotton wool pad and then wipe it gently over your face. It's designed for dry/sensitive and normal skin; so it's probably a bit too rich for those with oilier skin.
I bought this months ago from ASOS for about £6, but they don't stock Spray Misty for Me on their website at the moment. The only place that I've found it online is Amazon, and it's a little more pricey than it used to be...
...A bottle of this currently costs £7.10 from Amazon, which you can buy by clicking here.

Like feeling clean? This one's for you then!
Oh my goodness, this is cold. Take note, it's essential to be careful when you use this... It can be a bit of a shock otherwise...
You will definitely feel REALLY cleaning after using this, and probably a little cold too. Just a warning: Hot water definitely seems to exacerbate the extreme cold feeling that you get with this shower gel.
It smells gorgeous; so fresh. In fact, it's probably the most refreshing shower gel in existence. It also makes your bathroom smell strongly of mint for ages after you've stepped out of the shower. Which, for me, is blissful.
It's not going to break the bank and it's also a unisex shower gel, which gives it the potential to be a lovely little stocking filler for everyone!
If you fancy trying this, you can get it from Boots (where it's now on offer for £1) by clicking here.

Whatever you say about Lee Stafford, you know he loves his Caps lock.
Yes, he may be inconsistent with his capitals, which grates on me a little, but these hair sprays aren't bad.
(These are the travel size ones, because they're cheaper and I'm tight.)
Shine Head is a shine spray, which is supposed to make your locks glisten and Dehumidifier spray is supposed to help your hair to stay straight whilst also keeping frizz at bay.
With both these sprays, it's very hard to get the balance between using the right amount and using too much; which is enough to make your hair greasy in an instant. They are quite good, except for the whole 'potential greasy hair thing'. I normally save them for those days where my hair's looking very lacklustre or if it's chucking it down outside.
(If you do get it wrong and overdo it, a little spritz of dry shampoo seems to do the trick.)
The full sized tins of these products cost £5.99 each from Boots, which you can buy here: Shine Head & Dehumidifier.
