Glossybox is a monthly beauty subscription box, which contains a combination of five deluxe sample-size and full-sized beauty products. It is normally priced at £10 + £3.25 p&p, but you can receive 20% off your first box 'here'.

This month, the theme of the boxes was Halloween. Each subscriber received a 'trick' or 'treat' box, and I received the latter! The surprise element and the design of both boxes completely drew me into subscribing.

So, what was in my box?

First up, every box contained a *full-sized* Illamasqua 'anti-matter' lipstick which is priced at £20! The 'treat' box contains a dramatic pink lipstick, in the shade 'Nebula'. This lipstick is incredibly pigmented, non-drying with a super creamy texture. Normally, this shade would not be my cup of tea. However, I've found if dabbed lightly onto the lips, it can work well with an every-day look.

Each box also contains a *full-sized* Sleek 'i-Divine' eyeshadow palette, which is priced at £8.99! I received the palette called 'Oh So Special', which comes in an array of twelve warm-toned mattes and shimmer shades. The shimmer shades are incredibly pigmented, my favourite shade including a rose-gold called "organza", whilst the mattes swatch well.


Next, is a *full-sized* LunabyLuna translucent loose setting powder, which is priced at £17! This is a brand I have never tried before, but I'm a lover of loose setting powders. When applied the powder is soft and fine, and worked great at setting my make-up.

Each box contained a *full-sized* 'strobe and glow kit' from Make Up Academy, which is priced at £5! This is a strobing balm and powder, used to highlight the cheekbones. I love a blinding highlight, and this just didn't meet my expectations. It had little pigmentation and so, I will be passing this on to my Mum. But, it was nice to test out!

Lastly, the boxes contained a 20ml deluxe sample size of This Works 'in-transit camera close-up' moisturiser. The full-sized product is 40ml, priced at £35 which means that this deluxe sample is priced at £17.50! I haven't tried this product yet, nor have I tried any products from This Works, but look out on my Instagram for a more in-depth review!


Overall, I am incredibly impressed with this month's Glossybox. The total value of this box is £68, which is fantastic considering that the price of this box was £10. I am very happy with each product. Even though I wasn't a fan of the MUA highlighter, I'm sure my Mum will love it!
