Glossybox Skincare Review & Recommendations
hi everyone so today’s video is going to be a little different we’re not opening a subscription box but we’re opening up products that are made from a subscription box company glossybox so the day i’m posting this video glossybox is launching their skincare line so they were kind enough to send over their entire skincare line for me to review and show you guys i was able to test everything out inside so today we’re going to do an unboxing we’ll go over everything that comes in their line and then i will kind of give my thoughts and my recommendations there may also be a little giveaway at the end of this video so stay tuned so before we get started i just want to take a quick moment say hi and welcome if you are new here my name is kitty i love subscription boxes i open them every single day here on our channel sometimes i have some videos dedicated to just skincare and beauty as well so if you’re into that type of content i would absolutely love it if you subscribe that would mean so much to me so i had all these products out but i just love the presentation of their pr box so there’s a little piece of paper here and there’s all these products here and then a whole nother row of products so there are a lot of items in their line but you definitely don’t need all of them what they did is they tried to create a product for every type of skin type etc so their new skincare range consists of four cleansers one exfoliator two moisturizers an eye cream and a hydrating facial mist oh and a night serum as well so like i said this is launching today and subscribers to glossybox not only get early access to purchasing the skincare line they also get to purchase it at a discounted rate so 12 p.
m eastern standard time is when this will go on sale for members and that’s hopefully when i posted this video i’m filming this the day before and then if you’re not a subscriber you can still purchase it but that won’t be until 5 pm and the prices range from 16 to 22 for glossybox subscribers and for non-subscribers it’s a few dollars more so in my opinion definitely an affordable skincare brand they say that their line is supposed to cover all ages skin concerns types and lifestyles each product features high performance skin care ingredients that are simple yet incredibly effective combine their unique and powerful formulations deliver hydrated nourished and soothed skin and their range was developed and produced in the uk by a leading care specialists they also have 100 recyclable sugar cane packaging love that 100 renewable electricity and zero waste was used in manufacturing it and it was tried tested and loved by hundreds of glossybox subscribers and then each product follows a no-nonsense approach the packaging helps customers understand exactly what they are putting onto their skin with three key ingredients highlighted on the cartons this is a secret to creating beautiful glossy skin so sorry i’m reading from this handout with all the information um just didn’t want to miss anything but how about we get started so first of all i really do like the packaging it definitely uh goes with the glossy aesthetic so this is what the packaging looks like and all the products look similar as well so how about we start with the cleansers so i should mention that pretty much all but two of the items in this line are fragrance so if you do not like fragrance um or your skins very easily irritated from fragrance i will point out the items that would suit you best and some items are more fragrant than others at least in my experience so i will point that out as well but let’s start out with the cleanser since that would be like the first step so like i said i’ve tried all of these so they all have similar boxes and let’s start with this one the jeep cleansing cream so this one is supposed to remove makeup and it nourishes the skin as well and i like how on the packaging it tells you like how to include this in your routine so it says follow up with our hydrating mist in one of our three in one moisturizers and since our deep cleansing cream removes makeup washes away dirt and impurities from your pores as well as leaving the skin enriched and the three main ingredients are tsubaki oil babusso oil sorry if i’m saying it wrong in inch inka inchi oil so all of the items look similar to this they may like vary in like size and shape and stuff but they’re all pink which i really like and i don’t think i mentioned this which i should have because it’s important to me but all of these items are cruelty free they’re also vegan so this one like they say it can remove makeup and they say this can replace a double cleanse but personally i would prefer to use this as my second cleanse like go in with a makeup remover and then do this if you’re someone that doesn’t wear a full face of makeup maybe like a bb cream or tinted moisturizer this may work for you as just a one step cleanse so it’s really useful they gave me all these little cards with information too so i’ll make sure i’m not forgetting anything but it says tired of double cleansing you need this deeply cleansing cream in just one use it removes makeup and washes away dirt and impurities all while enriching your skin with nourishing ingredients and they even give like stats from the trials they did they said 86 of women agreed that their skin felt deeply cleansed and it gives you some tips on the back about even about removing like even waterproof eye makeup and stuff like that oh yeah this one’s definitely fragrance i wish i could describe the fragrance i do like it like it smells like kind of like a like light perfume i don’t know if anyone else has tried this how would you describe the fragrance but so that is the first cleanser so i think this cleanser is ideal for someone who wants a cleanser that removes makeup and also cleanses their skin and also like they say could be a one step cleanse but again for in my experience i wear full face of makeup when i do wear makeup so i like to do a double cleanse just to make sure i get everything off next is the daily micellar gel cleanser and they say this one nourishes purifies and softens so this one’s pretty gentle honestly all of the cleansers were gentle and not too harsh in my experience even the ones that are fragrant and this one says why it works my cells help to clean away dirt and excess oils from your pores blueberry seed oil works to hydrate nourish your skin and cactus stem extracts helps to soothe and moisturize your complexion so i think this would be great for someone with dry skin since this has both cleansing and hydrating properties and when i used it i had no issues but again it is fragrant now my favorite cleanser is the one that’s not fragrant and this is actually a foaming cleanser it’s their gentle foaming cleanser and sometimes foaming cleansers can be a little too stripping but this one’s actually great i’ve kept this one in my shower i’ve been using it every day so fragrance free or gentle foaming cleanser removes dirt and impurities without stripping away moisture it’s made with cactus stem extract that soothes and moisturizes moisturizes the skin resurrection leaf extract which hydrates your skin and then kangaroo paw flower extract which keeps skin supple and fresh they use such interesting ingredients i wonder if it’s because it’s formerly in the uk i don’t know um sorry i haven’t been showing you everything but this one looks a little different so just wanted to show you there so out of all of all the items actually i should say this then i’d probably recommend this most but um out of all the cleansers this is definitely my favorite i can tolerate a little bit of fragrance but too much can irritate my skin so i prefer to use fragrant free skincare in general but when it comes to cleansers it’s a wash off treatment so i don’t mind having that stuff include cleanser so really i think all of them i’ve talked about so far and ones we’ll talk about soon are great but yeah the gentle foaming cleanser is definitely my favorite and then the last cleanser is the purifying charcoal cleanser and this one i think would be great for someone with oily skin so it’s definitely not too stripping i was able to use it just fine i had normal skin i probably just said that but just to clarify uh and yeah it improved your complexion by removing excess oil and dirt and it has a gentle exploiting beads it feels like in it it’s very gentle like definitely not harsh at all this is made with activated bamboo which works to cleanse away dirt and impurities uh the biodegradable exfoliation beads so that’s good to know i feel like the beads that weren’t biodegradable are not in products anymore but i’m glad they clarified that so the little beads that i was talking about help to gently buff away dead skin cells leaving the skin soft and smooth and then it has peat leaves with leave your which leaves your complexion feeling cleansed and hydrated so this one i would definitely recommend to someone who is more oily and maybe more acne prone since this can hopefully help with that and also if you like a little bit of physical explanation i think this is good because it’s not too harsh but speaking of exfoliation let’s move on to their exfoliator in their line and this is the exfoliating clay scrub it says it deeply cleanses and restores radiance it’s made with cornish clay rice exfoliator and glycolic and lactic acids which are ahas i love them they make your complexion feel energized and restore its radiance so this is both a physical and a chemical exfoliator and i would recommend only using this once a week i use this once uh and it definitely isn’t too harsh so i will continue using this i don’t like too harsh as i don’t like too harsh of scrubs because i feel like that could be a little too much and irritating on my skin but this one was fine and they say use at least once a week but you know your skin you do what works best for you i’m sorry i’m not showing you every single one but as you can tell they all look the same when you can’t read the little writing and they say this is good for all skin types and now let’s talk about the hydrating mist because on all their cleansers it recommends using the hydrating mist as a toner after cleansing before moisturizing now this by far was the most fragranced uh so i’ll show you this i’ve been using this pretty much every day since i received it as a toner but you can also just use it as a facial spray i don’t know if you can really tell how much i’ve used but decent amount so yeah tones primes and refreshes spray three bursts onto cleansed skin to tone your complexion and to moisturize skin to prime before makeup application and use during the day as an extra hydration boost so i’ve only used it for toning but this is such a nice fine mist i don’t even know if you could my coffee is right here so i’m like don’t get in the coffee but i don’t even know if you guys can see it on camera but yeah it’s just a little too fragrant for me like i said i do like the fragrance but this out of all the products is the most fragrant but if you like it it does smell like good but yeah it’s a little much if you are sensitive and this mist contains hyaluronic acid which keeps your skin feeling hydrated and looking refreshed all day long babusu oil hopefully i’m saying that right this leaves your complexion feeling soft and nourished in inka inchi oil which helps to support your skin’s natural barrier and keeps it feeling moisturized now let’s talk about the two moisturizers so they have a moisturizer for normal to oily skin and then for dry skin so for normal to oily skin they have the three in one moisturizer and then for dry skin the three in one rich moisturizer i’ve used both um like i said i have normal skin but i feel like both worked for me um some nights like after i did like an aha or something like that i like to go in with the rich moisturizer after just to make sure my skin’s really hydrated after an intense treatment so both of these says plumps and primes and then the three in one moisturizer protects and the three in one rich moisturizer nourishes so obviously like as you probably assume the regular one not the rich moisturizer is more lightweight and it says it prepares your skin for flawless makeup application i’ve had no issues um using this under makeup so that is true and i found that the like moisturizers and the searing stuff are definitely not as strongly fragranced as like the mist and some of the cleansers so they’re both made with hyaluronic acid and then the regular three in one moisturizer is also made with tsubaki which works to moisturize your skin in red seaweed and that creates a protective barrier that helps to lock in moisture and the rich moisturizer has the inca inchi oil and camolina oil now we have two more to go let’s talk about our eye cream because that would kind of be like the fourth step uh for the morning at least and i actually have two of these so i received one in the glossy box the august birthday box so i will be giving one of these away i’ve been using this and i really like it and this does seem to be fragrance free there is no scent when i was looking over the ingredient list i don’t see fragrance or perfume listed so that is good it reduces the appearance of dark circles and puffiness it’s lightweight fast absorbing formula that reduces the appearance of dark circles and de-puffs your under eye area it definitely does help i still have some puffiness i barely slept last night so my skin’s not looking the best today um but it definitely helps hydrate and i do really like this product so i will be sharing this with one of you stay tuned and then last we have the night serum so this deeply nourishes and brightens overnight is made with glycolic acid which is an aha persian silk tree extract which helps to reduce visible signs of fatigue and gives a brighter more even looking complexion and blueberry oil that leaves your skin feeling hydrated and nourished so they say um that this brightens your complexion while you sleep and you can use this on cleanse toned and slightly damp skin so they kind of recommend using this just as your last step like your moisturizer um i used it alone then i also used it with a moisturizer after so i guess it’s preference i always like to go in with a moisturizer after my serums but this definitely is hydrating so this is what it looks like so i really do like that this has glycolic acid and it’s gentle enough that you can use this at night but if you’re new to acids and ahas and stuff like that maybe you can just like test this out every couple days at first but again this is fragrance so really the only fragrance free options is for those who here are the the gentle foaming cleanser and the eye cream and i must say that these are my two favorites from the line there was nothing i didn’t like the hydrating mist was just a little too fragrant for me like i said but that’s just personal preference uh i feel like my skin’s been liking all these i haven’t tested these long enough to do like really know the long-term benefits of them like i always like to test skincare products for at least 20 days or a month to see how my skin is because that’s like the skin cell cycle but i have been using them for like 10 or 11 days when i first got the package i started because i wanted to try them all so when i did this video i can let you know my thoughts so overall i think they did a great job with their line i like how they included different types of cleansers and products so they could be more tailored to your preferences and your skin type one thing i wish they did include was a sunscreen because i feel like that would be complete then you would have your cleanser your toner your moisturizer and then if you had your sunscreen and your eye cream then it would be a complete uh skincare routine in my opinion but you know they’re brand new the day i’m posting this is the day they’re launching so i’m looking forward to seeing what they come out with next i’m assuming there’ll be like a sunscreen and then some like serums and stuff like that but i think they just have the basics down minus sunscreen and that’s a great way to start so i’m going to try and link these products all down below as of right now it’s not available yet so i can’t see if i can like link them individually but i will at least have glossybox’s website linked down below so you can check out the skincare there so yeah that is everything now let’s talk about our giveaway so i forgot to grab it but since i have two i want to give away an eye boost cream to one of you and i’m so happy that this is one of my favorite products from their line so i will gift the winner one of these eye creams and then i will also include some other skincare um like some serums and stuff that you can use in addition to anything you may
