I received
my Glossybox Best of Britain Limited Edition Box yesterday, and I was not even
expecting it. I actually had forgotten that I purchased it awhile back. However, it was a very nice surprise because it
was the only box I received yesterday.
In
the hurry to get my box opened since I was excited to see what was inside, I
noticed that even before opening the box it smelled very nice for an unopened
box. Surely enough after digging into the box more, I noticed that the
Steamcream had exploded through the sides of the container. Even though after losing much of the
Steamcream, I was able to get everything cleaned off with no more damage, but a
little sad I had a box accident. It has
been awhile since I have gotten a box with an accident inside, never fun to
deal with, but thankfully the box was salvaged.
What a Mess! |
But Enough of that Now
on to the box…
First off I just have to say the presentation of the box was just great. I loved the actual box, and the paper inside the box was just great. Made me even more excited to see what was inside.
Glossybox “Best of Britain”
Limited Edition Box
The “Best of Britain.” Glossybox was available in the beginning of August and was said to be packed
with the best Britain has to offer. The limited edition box, which Glossybox
offers from time to time, was said to
contain eight luxury beauty products along with a surprise gift, and valued at
over $120.
Batiste Dry Shampoo in Blush- $8
Such a pretty can of dry shampoo.
Like most dry shampoo this Batiste Dry Shampoo is the quick and
convenient way to get soft, clean and fresh smelling hair, without water. I am a big fan of dry shampoo so I was excited to see this in the box!
Nails Inc. Kensington Cavier Top
Coat-$10
Love
trying new nail products, and if this has the incredible 45 second dry time it
is said to have, I will love it. I always seem, no matter how long I wait, to
ruin my nails because they are not dry yet. This top coat can also be found at Sephora,
but most of the items in this box seem to only be sold in the UK.
Steamcream All-In-One Natural
Moisturizer for Face Body and Hands- $20.50
This
was the infamous exploding item in this “Best of Britain” box. I did not open it up, because there was not much left inside, so not much to see. However, since there is still a little left in the canister after exploding, I am excited to try a little of
it, since it is said to be award-winning over in Britain.
Nailgirls London #1 Snow White
Nail Laquer-$16.50
This
white color is supposed to be the top color of the season. I always love getting nail polish, and I have
never tried this brand, since it is sold in the UK. After looking at some
manicures online using Nailgirls, it looks like this polish leaves a great
glossy finish.
HD Brows Grow Baby Grow- $43
I was
a little stunned at the price for this brow grow serum, and would not say I
would ever purchase something like this if it was not included in this box.
However, if I need some nutrients and
brow growth I will most definitely be using this.
MeMeMe Cosemetics Beat the Blues
Skin Illuminator- $9
This
UK brand I have actually tried before, and I loved it. I am on edge with Skin
Illuminators, and only use them here or there on my cheeks. But, I most definitely
am always up for trying new products, so I will be giving this a try.
Helen E’ Lasting Lip Color in Raspberry-$16
I
already love this lip color, and am using it today. It goes on very nicely. I
just put it on this morning, and it is still going strong, so we will see how
long it lasts. The Raspberry color, a
deeper burgundy color, is a great color for the colder season coming up.
Mitchell and Peach Luxury Hand
Cream-$35
This Luxury Hand Cream comes
straight from the Mitchell Family Estate
in Kent, England. It is made with very
selective ingredients such as vitamin E, Shea Butter, and English Honey to
soften , nourish and protect the skin. The hand cream is said to be “Divine”.
After using it I can see what all the fuss is about, it is great. This hand
cream went immediately in to my purse.
Makeup Bag-$10 (Estimation)
Love
this nice makeup bag, and it was a great finishing touch to the Glossybox “Best
of Britain” box.
TICKLED PINK OPINION: I think this box was just great.
Other than the snafu with the exploding moisturizer, I was very pleased with
each and every item in the “Best of Britain” Glossybox. What made this box even
better is that all items were full sized, which always makes me excited. I got
this Glossybox for $40, and after researching prices the box contained a total
of approximately $168 worth of products. I assume that the box is actually worth even
more if you consider some items are only sold in the UK, so you have to add in
shipping costs if you bought it on its own.
Limited Edition boxes from Glossybox do not come out too often, but when
they do they are great!
What do you think of the “Best of
Britain” Limited Edition Glossybox? If you are interested in signing up for

Stay Tickled Pink,
