Glossybox March 2013 Review!

I wasn't expecting my March Glossybox to arrive today, I hadn't even looked for spoilers yet!

The month's theme is 'City Chic'. I had no idea what to expect from that!
Also included, alongside the product descriptions, was a really cute 'Little Travelling Book'.
This is a sweet little booklet divided into countries and for each country there are a few tips on either hotels, shops, food, sights etc to see. Also a page for notes and a page of cute stickers. I like this little extra!

Onto the box!....

Firstly a Tresemme extra hold hairspray. Oops, I don't use hairspray. Bummer! I'm sure I can find a home for this though. Nice size at last for Glossy though.

Then a cute mini Nails Inc polish in 'St James's'. This is a pretty good colour. Red, but almost a realllly deep pink. I would have preferred the lighter pink version, but this will still get used.

Then we have a Jelly Pong Pong lip blush. I can't see a shade name on mine, but it's red. I don't like this colour! Too strong for me and it kind of looks like a wax crayon. Shame. I looked at the ingredients and the first one is mineral oil. Hmm, mineral oil is not that good for you! Don't think I'm liking this one.

Next, Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream in 7ml. I've had this before and I've had it free from an Elizabeth Arden counter, so no excitement here from me for this sample. But, it's always useful to pop into a bag and have on hand.

Lastly, a 1.5ml Juicy Couture La La perfume sample. Yep, more perfume. More floral perfume.

If Glossybox used those beauty profiles, I would be 100% more happy with my boxes. The last few months I've had strong make-up colours and floral perfumes. Exactly the opposite of my profile!
If I had got pale colours and no perfume, I would be so much better off.

This month I can't say is a disaster because the products are ok. Not to my taste, but ok. Just a change in colour and a different sample to replace the perfume and I would have liked this box a lot.

But unfortunately I won't be using half of it again because of shades and smells!

How did you find this Glossybox, did you like your shades? Also, what other boxes do you like? Lux Box, Amarya? Which ones are good and worth subscribing to?

L'Occitane Shea Honey Hand Cream review

I love L'Occitane products. They are so pampering and nourishing!
I recently purchased some of the new Limited Edition honey range and will be first reviewing the shea honey hand cream.

The hand cream is 30ml, the usual hand cream amount from L'Occitane (although there are a couple of mega 150ml ones too), and it has 20% Shea Butter in it, so you know this will be great for your hands! It costs £8, pricey you may say, but, although I love bargains, L'Occitane are worth paying a bit more for in my opinion, especially the hand creams!

The packaging is so cute too - love the little bear and bees!

The limited edition shea honey range consists of the hand cream, foaming gel, whipped body cream and honey butter. Gorgeous!

The hand cream is wonderfully thick and creamy, yet sinks right in to the skin.
I get very dry hands in winter! L'Occitane hand cream is the first thing I turn to if my hands are getting really bad and I have been loving this honey version! The scent is very sweet but not over-powering. It's lovely.

This really does improve your hands after just one application. It's rich, luxurious, nourishing and a must-have!
There are also limited edition scents of Mango Flower, Rose Petals, Date Bouquet, and Spring Cherry, all of which smell very nice.

Do you use L'Occitane hand cream? Or have you not splashed out on any yet? I'd love to know!
