March GlossyBox - Harrods Edition

It's that time again!
Just one thing I'd like to point out is that GB hasn't put any of the prices on the little card this month...maybe after the backlash of massively different value between boxes? Just a thought that made me smile :P


Anyway, onto the box. I had caved and looked at what was in some of the boxes last week so I knew what may be coming. But I really liked my box, and although there were two anti-aging products, they're both from brands I've never owned, and I am turning 20 this year so I may as well get started on anti-aging!


 
 So the box I got included:
1. Narciso Rodriguez - For Her Eau de Parfum. I actually really liked this sample, I sprayed it on my wrist and I can still smell it. It is kind of floral and it smells really warm (if that makes sense). I forgot to take a picture but it's just a spray sample that I might put in my handbag.




2. Molton Brown - Heavenly Gingerlily moisture bath and shower - Vitamin-rich fruit extracts boost the skin and invigorate the senses. 
This smells really nice and a little bit floral and a little bit fruity at the same time. It's a very subtle scent. I got a little excited because when I went to the Azores with uni last summer (2011) there were gingerlillies everywhere. The bottle also says it has macadamia oil in it, so that'll be nice. I've got so many body washes to try out, I'm just a little scared because my skin is quite sensitive and breaks out a lot so I don't like putting different things on my skin :(






3. YSL - Forever Youth Liberator Serum - A powerful serum enriched with 3 glycans to help increase youthful activity in skin cells.
I'm a little bit excited about this, I've never been able to get anything from YSL because it's just too expensive for me. I'm going to use this, even though I'm pretty young because for things like this to work, you have to use them before a problem develops. I also like how it comes with like a pipette lid, because I do biology and spend a lot of time in the lab, it feels really sciency...that's a little sad isn't it?
Also it's a really cute bottle :3 haha




4. Burberry Beauty - Minitiure Lip Mist Copper No202 - With a balmy, lip-loving formula, Lip mist offers sheer colour with an irresistible gloss shine. 
This is a really nice, glossy lipstick and the packaging is so cute and tiny! This feels really moisturising on my lips which is good seeing as I cannot stop biting my lips and they're always in terrible condition. It's a nice pinkish nude colour and goes on really sheer which is always nice for everyday. 










5. Clarins - Extra Firming Body Cream - A formula rich in regenerating and firming plant extracts which immediately helps to lift and tone, for firmer skin and a younger looking body.
Now I definitely need some toning in some areas and this is a very thick cream that feels really good as you rub it in. It has a slight smell but it smells really clean and a little bit like peach. I'm looking forward to giving this a try because I've never used a Clarins product before and I've heard some great things.








Overall I am very pleased with my GlossyBox this month even though, yet again it's mostly body products rather than makeup. But I can't wait to see what next month will bring. I'm only getting the April and May boxes before I go home and I can't get it anymore. (My mum wouldn't approve -.-)


Thanks for reading guys!
