GlossyBox Feb 2012 review

So it's that time of the month yet again where we're all jumping on the postie as soon as he approaches our door in the hope he's bought us a little box of goodies. Woooohoooo. Glossybox time!

My excitement soon faded as I was handed the box. It was a lot lighter in weight than other boxes. Yes, I admit I had checked up reviews etc before receiving mine, and immediately I knew I had received the 'dud' box. The one no-one wanted to receive. Apparently, according to some research done my some other disappointed customers, there's a massive £18 between the value of the boxes. I always seem to get the cheaper box :-/

Okay hereee we go...

Dr. Bronners Liquid soap. A combination of organic extra virgin coconut, olive, jojoba and hemp oils together with essential oils. I got this in the Peppermint scent, and will probably use it to clean makeup brushes or something? At a whopping £1.99 for a full sized bottle, GlossyBox has totally summed up 'Luxury' in just this one item. OR NOT. I think it's time GB changed their company info, because I actually think it's quite misleading, claiming we will receive 5 Luxury items. Anyone with me on that?

Paul Mitchell Round Trip liquid curl definer. This liquid curl definer is fast drying for enhanced curls in an instant. This is a small 25ml sample and will be absolutely no use to me what so ever. I have naturally polka straight hair and have to achieve my curls by a wand, so I doubt spraying this in my hair is going to do much.

DuWop Lip Venom Gloss in Buttercup. Combining subtle tinted lip gloss with Duwops Lip venom to create Venom Gloss. Hmmm another small sized item, just 5ml. This may get shoved in my makeup bag if it's lucky for the occasional use. Although I've heard some rave reviews about this product, I'm not too sure on the frosted colour.

Enter GlossyVG12 for 20% discount on any full size venom gloss. Valid until 31st March.

Bm Beauty Pure Mineral Eyeshadow in Storm Cloud. Award winning pure mineral eyeshadow. Cruelty free and suitable for vegetarians and vegans. This is yet another small sized item, at just 1g. The colour I received is like a khaki grey colour. I seem to always receive eye makeup items in Green, which is one of the only colours I wouldn't wear. I haven't got the greenest eyes ever, but they have a bit of green, so using green eye makeup would make my eyes look invisible! Another item that won't be getting used.

And lastly, Como Shambhala body lotion. A revitalising blend of essential oils that puts you in a perfectly uplifted mood. Great, another body lotion wooohooo. (that was sarcasm). Body moisturisers/lotions seem to be a staple in boxes these days, so I have huge collection right now which is going to take me literally years to use up. This has a scent similar to the Neom moisturiser, just a tad more medicinal.

So my thoughts? Well by my naff review you can probably gather what I think of this absolute joke of a box. It's definitely time for Glossybox to stop claiming that we will receive Luxury products, as this could not be further from the truth. Every month I continue my subscription in the hope they'll pull something out of the bag, and they rarely do. Attached with this months box was this little card...

So, expect the unexpected? This unexpected thing best be absolutley magnificently amazing, otherwise I think you're going to lose quite a few subscribers GB... I know this little card hasn't stopped a lot of people though.

Ladies, What are your thoughts? Was you one of the lucky ones to receive the better box?
