This months edition of Glossybox was beautiful in presentation, with each subscriber receiving either the Enchanted Spirit Or Midnight Fantasy. I received the Enchanted edition and the quality of the box was as always well made with internal packaging of golden tissue paper and a ribbon to hold the products within.
Contents of the Enchanted Spirit Edition
- Illamasqua : Deluxe edition of the Hydra Veil primer (7ml sample)
- BubbleT Cosmetics Ltd : Star Dust Foaming bath powder (100g bag)
- Luna by Luna : Pixie Lipstick (Full size)
- 3INA : 24hr pen Eyeliner (Full size)
- The Beauty crop : Stargazing Blush Duo (Full size) 
Illamasqua Hydra Veil Primer - Part hydrator, part primer, Hydra Veil instantly hydrates and smooths skin through a self-levelling, futuristic clear gel. Microalgae, Vitamin C and B3 work together to help maintain skins hydration levels, creating a healthy looking, balanced finish. Plant extracts also provide a calming and refreshing feeling, leaving skin fully prepped to apply your chosen foundation.
I've always love Illamasqua Hydra Veil given that my skin can run dry in the winter months it is a god send for my skin and preparation prior to makeup application. A small amount goes a very long way and i found it very good value for money. It can look expensive for the amount but it does last. Its been one of my firm favourites for many years so to receive this lovely little sample pot not only for travel but as a mini decanter for my full size is very handy.
Luna by Luna - Pixie Lipstick : Cover all your bases with smooth, full-on, super-pigmented color. Luna by Luna Lipstick bullets feature a creamy finish, full coverage, and leaves lips looking beautiful.
This is a new brand to me and I must say being given a full size of a beautiful pinky nude shade it quite a nice addition. It creamy and the shade is universal for everyday use. I will enjoy using this shade as I often find some nudes a pinks hard to wear. This has a slight fragrance almost like MAC lipsticks in the light vanilla smell but its neither strong nor off-putting. I look forward to trying this and also looking at other shades in there range.
3INA - 24hr Pen Eyeliner : Give those wings a 24/7 with this long-wearing liquid eyeliner.
A swish and a flick and just like magic, you’re done! Rain or shine. Day to night. The matte
finish promises to stay in precise shape, without a smudge.
When it comes to Liquid liner I am I would say a heavy user of them and always looking to try what brands have to offer. My usual being the KVD tattoo liner but I then found an affordable version in my Nyx liner. So i do look forward to trying this given the swatch was very rich. The felt liner I feel will need some trial and error with application as if you do apply too much product I found the liner can feather. So In doing the swatches I will be trying this with a light hand and also checking the wear time plus all manners of ways in which this might smudge or flake off. So I will to a Eyeliner review post for next month given I have this liner to try and also the Colourpop BFF liner. I want to see how they compare against my NYX liner.
The Beauty Crop - Stargazing Blush Duo (Blue box edition) Stargazing Blush Duo is the perfect way to dazzle and enhance your complexion. The talc-free pressed powder blush duo is finely milled to deliver a velvety smooth finish. The long-wearing formula blends evenly and seamlessly to give a soft-focus radiance. The duo contains one matte and one shimmer shade that can be used alone or paired together for a natural glow.
Now this cute little Duo compact is very subtle in the shades that it has but it is pigmented. I would use these shades on a daily basis and its perfect size for travel. The formula feels light and very smooth to the touch.. almost a in-between cream and powder format. It applies well with very little in the way of fallout plus in the natural and flash light the shades in this Duo are very radiant and will give a very nice glow to the complexion. Again another product I was happy to be introduced too.
Bubble T cosmetics Ltd - Developed exclusively for Glossybox's October 'The Beauty Tales' Beauty Box, this foaming bath powder in relaxing Lavender is the ultimate treat for the bath. Perfect for relaxing and helping to take you straight to the land of nod, this Lavender foaming bath powder is all you need to relax and restore.
Dairy Milk Mini Chocolate bar - A sneaky and lovely bite sized treat for when your relaxing in the lavender bath after a long day.
Overall thoughts on this month's box and the products :
I must admit when i saw the sneak peak of the October edition for Glossybox it was the one thing that enticed me to join again. I was a long term subscriber many years ago when subscription boxes were coming into there own, then I was very happy with most months as it started. However there were a lot of issues I remember with customer service being boxes going missing, products arriving damaged and also the general quality had started to decrease. Most of these faults could be forgiven in that it was a new concept to the UK which was coming over from our US counterparts and teething issues were a thing. It was when the quality of products offered and the same brands being repeated over and over, I then decided that I wanted to have a break from GlossyBox. Now I have received my October edition I can whole heartedly say that I'm so glad to see its back to the quality I originally loved it for. From the presentation to the selection of products this was an exceptional offering to the subscribers this month. I am excited that I have indeed some new makeup to try and also firm favourite sample sized ones also. The bath product is the only one I cannot use given that I do prefer showers but I'm sure I can give this to my daughter whom will put it to good use. So this month has made me excited for future editions of Glossybox.
