I was so excited to receive my first ever Glossybox! I had wanted to get a monthly subscription for ages however never committed because I thought well it's just another way to 'waste' my money on something I don't NEED. Even though I don't need it I am so happy that I have subscribed as I was extremely happy with all of the products I got! This Glossybox was called 'The London Edition' so I think it made it that bit more exciting as it was themed and the packaging looked amazing.
Here you can see what the box looked like:
Inside you will always receive 5 items this could be a mixture of full sized items or sample sized items. I received a mixture 3 items being full sized and 2 of the items were sample sized. It was really nice to receive full sized items as it really added value to this box making worth the money!
Here is an image of the items I received and a bit more about each one:
- Elizabeth Arden perfume in UNTOLD - So far so good! I really like the perfume and would love to purchase this however due to the price I will probably stay away. The reason I really like this fragrance is because for me it is a much more mature scent rather than the sweet, fruity, girly scents however I do not feel it is too old for my age so I hope I can pull this scent off well! I haven't had any compliments however I rarely get complimented on perfumes :( (I wish I did more). I feel younger people can definitely use this scent as well as the more mature as it is a little fruity however mixed in with some floral's which I feel is perfect for day time where but also at night when you might be heading out! To buy a full size this is £48 for 50ml and £69 for 100ml.

- Eylure Pre Glued Lashes - All I can say is that I haven't tried these yet however the retail for £5.06 and I this was a full size product which added value to this box. Only have I once tried to use false eyelashes and that was a disaster however these ones do interest me as they are pre-glued so I wouldn't have to fuss around trying to make sure I have got enough glue on the lashes to make them stay. I think I am going to try these on Christmas day .. yes! I said Christmas.

- TONI&GUY Hair Meet Wardrobe Classic Shine & Gloss Serum - At first I was unsure of this product however I have used a few times now and I really like it. I use it after I blow dry my hair like it says to do and I feel it does at good job at making my hair appear straighter than it already is and it gets rid of any stray hairs or frizz (smooths out my hair). However I do not feel that it adds any shine like it claims to but this doesn't bother me at all. This was another full sized item I received and this is worth £7.19 for 30ml.

- Be A Bombshell Cosmetics Onyx Eye Liner - This is basically a black felt tip liner which I haven't opened so I can't say too much about it. The reason I haven't opened it is because I know it is something that I am not going to use and I know that if I give to my sister she is going to use it a lot more than I ever would. Anyway I found it strange that it is an American product in a British themed box but I shouldn't complain because yet again it was a another full sized item worth $14.

- Dr Lipp Orginal Nipple Balm for Lips - The name of this product just gets everyone! As soon as you mention this product they start laughing or they are just like whhhaaat? This was a sample sized product and I have been very impressed with the product even though I have only been using it for a short period of time. I suffer with really dry lips and it has helped to make them feel smooth again :)! However it claims to do all wonderful things such as healing chapped lips, burns, abrasions, minor incisions, cuticles, eczema and dry skin however it also says that it can be used to mix pigments, eye glitter, shaping eyebrows and last minute shoe polish. I will definitely be purchasing the full size which retails for £11.50.
