April 2012 GlossyBox

I haven't posted about GlossyBox in a while because I haven't thought much of the boxes, but I quite like this month's, so thought I'd talk about it! Apart from the odd box, I think sample boxes are a waste of money. Being sent the occasional box (including this one) has not changed my opinions at all, hence why I haven't promoted them for a few months. However, I think April's box is that rare one I would actually pay for.

I adore this month's packaging, which compliments the natural theme of the box well. The serum smells nice, like fresh, sweetened roses. The eyeliner is... black - I don't know what else to say about it! I'm glad there's a shower gel in the box because they're one of the few products I actually end up using from sample boxes! I received the tea tree and peppermint one, which smells very refreshing. The Figs & Rouge Rambling Rose balm actually came in some cardboard packaging, but I opened it before taking the photos. I think Rambling Rose smells like turkish delight. It has a similar scent to The Body Shop's Vitamin E range. The scent reminds me of my dad, and is very comforting :) When I saw the perfume sample, I thought: 'Not another one. I probably won't like the scent because I'm not fond of natural smelling perfumes'. Surprisingly, I really like it! I cannot describe it well, so I'm going to throw some words at you! Light, fresh, natural and sweet.

I will definitely be using the shower gel, balm and perfume. I'll probably use the serum, but just to use it up more than anything. I don't wear black eyeliner, but I'm sure my mum won't mind taking it off my hands :)
