Glossybox / October Review

Ooh, it's my favourite time of the month...Glossybox time! Lets see what the October box contains shall we?!

This box has 5 full size products this month, which I just think is incredible.

So Susan Haute Light Highlighting Pencil

I seem to remember there being another another 'So Susan' product a few months back, not a brand I'm familiar with outside of Glossybox but the nice packaging stuck in my mind. I'm trying to be open minded about this as it probably isn't an item I'll get much use out of left to my own devices, but I'll probably find it's probably really good if I give it a fair trial.

Jelly Pong Pong Fairy Lashes Curl Mascara

I really like the packaging, the burgundy colour tube is unusual and looks expensive. I've used 'Jelly Pong Pong' before and really liked them, I had an amazing eye-lid primer a few years ago. The packaging was really unique and creative then too, I'm hoping this mascara is as good as it promises, apparently - "it continuously curls lashes throughout the day" - bold claim! I'm pretty optimistic about this one.

Nicka K Airbrush Blending Sponge

It's been a long time since I've used a make-up sponge, so I'm sure they've come on leaps and bounds from the ones I used to use. I've always been more of a brush girl but this looks good. It's said to blend flawlessly, so I'm looking forward to giving it a go. I think it'll be really good for travel too, right now I'm taking  about 8 brushes everywhere!

Talika Photo-Hydra Day

This isn't a brand I'm familiar with, but as its a French luxury skincare brand I'm hopeful it'll be good as French cosmetics usually are. I'm at a bit of a crossroads with moisturiser right now, I'm finding mine (Lanocreme) too heavy and not absorbing properly, but I also don't want one that's too light for the colder months (I'm in love with the Neal's Yard I'm using by day at the moment, but it's very light) This is said to be ideal for Autumn, so I'm really looking forward to trying it!

Lanolips Antibacterial Hand Cream

Last but not least...bizarrely this is my favourite product this month. I love a good hand cream, and I'm quite obsessive about having clean hands, so the fact this has a built-in sanitiser has BLOWN MY MIND. Also, I'm a sucker for good packaging and I think this mint and gold looks like a dream, it looks really high end and so much nicer than the cheap hand sanitisers I've been using!

What do you think of October's box?
