Regular readers of blogs and Twitter will know that beauty addicts have recently been getting very excited about the launch of Glossy Box in the UK. Based on a very successful business model that has been going in Germany for some time, Glossy Box promises monthly deliveries of a range of current beauty products.
For £10 a month, subscribers can fill in an online profile about skin type, colour and preference, and then once a month, a box containing four or five beauty products that fit your profile will arrive at your front door. We’re not talking magazine-sized samples here either, more like travel-sized items.
Having said that, this month’s box contained a full size Nars Orgasm illuminator cream (usually retailing at £23) and a full sized All For Eve lipstick (£10.50). The box also contained some products that were not such household names, such as Bionova Lab cleanser, Alterna Caviar finishing spray, and COMO Shambhala body lotion, all of which I’m excited to try out. Not a bad return on your investment, hey? I’ll be interested to see what the boxes contain next month though and whether the standard will be as high. No pressure then!
The boxes arrive beautifully presented and certainly created a buzz amongst the ladies in my office, with a couple of them signing up straight away. Delivery is included in your £10 per month fee. There is no minimum order and you can cancel your subscription at any time, and your card will not be charged until your product is despatched each month.
Unlike previous mail order beauty boxes, you get to keep everything that is sent to you. OK, so you don’t know what you’re going to get, and not everything is going to work for you, but for £10 a month it’s a little taste of luxury and the fun of a surprise parcel that will do wonders to lift your spirits.
