I've written reviews on a few of the products below and my favourites from this box were the lipstick and the cleansing oil.

 

I really loved the Glossybox own brand lipstick. The colour was lovely and the type of shade I usually go for. It was a nude/pink shade and looked great on. Not the best picture of it but you can kind of see the type of colour it is. It was a long lasting lipstick which left a tint on your lips when it eventually started to wear off which was great as it meant I didnt need to re-apply lots of times as my lips still had some colour.

 

The eyeshadow palette was lovely and the colours were ideal for the autumn as they were a selection of nudes/browns/greens. The colours were really nice on as you can see from the swatches but I really had to dig the applicator into the powder and rub really hard to actually get any on the brush.




The imPRESS nails are quite new on the market and I was looking forward to trying them when I seen them in my glossybox. The pattern was a burgandy and gold swirl and the nails were short length and square which is what I usually go for. They were easy to apply, you just peeled off the backs and pressed them firmly onto your nails. I didnt need to cut the nails they fitted perfectly and there are 12 sizes to choose from. I've never used press on pre glued nails so was a bit worried about whether they would stay on well - and they didnt!!!! I didnt manage to get a picture of them actually on my nails but they did look really nice. I wore them for a night out and when I put them on, after about half an hour one popped off and then as the night went on they all came off. For £7.99 I certainly wont be buying them again as I think its a waste of time when they dont last longer than a few hours - I would possibly buy them and just stick some glue on my nails before applying which might keep them on. Overall I wasnt too 'imPRESS'ed with them!
