My Thoughts:
This has a very subtle scent to it. The consistency is a milky cream that sinks into the skin nicely. The price is a little more than I would usually pay for a face serum, but I will enjoy trying it out.
Inika Cosmetics Certified Organic Lip Liner (01 Safari) ~ £11.75 Per Liner
The Information:
An organic mineral lip liner formula designed to glide easily over lips while delivering lip definition and even colour. Use to define your lips or to give your
lipstick shade even greater depth of colour and staying power. INIKA Certified Organic Lip Liners are a creamy blend of cold pressed
plant waxes and oils added to natural mineral pigments to create

- Natural mineral pigments.
- Accentuates the shape of your lips.
- Gives your lipstick shade even greater depth of colour.
Application:
To create fuller lips draw slightly out side
of your lip line with your chosen Inika Mineral Lip Liner. To make full
lips appear smaller draw just inside your natural lip line.
Ingredients:
Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate; Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Glycerides;
Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil; Almond (Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis) Oil;
Carnauba Wax; Black Lovage (Olus) Oil; Candelilla Wax; Mica; Sesame Seed
(Sesamum Indicum) Oil, Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides; Polyglyceryl-3
Diisostearate; Glyceryl Caprylate; Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate);
Sorbic Acid. May contain: CI77289, CI 77510, CI77742, Iron Oxide (CI
77499); Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891).
This shade is described as an earthy, warm brown. Silky and rich to compliment brown shades of lipstick.
My Thoughts:
I'm hoping that I can make this deep brown lip liner work in some way as I don't tend to wear a lot of brown lipsticks. I think I may use it as a base for lipstick and/or lip gloss to perhaps deepen the shades. It's good that it's full size, but I believe these pencils usually come with a sharpener in the lid so is this the older design?

My Thoughts:
My bottle just says Rose not Indian Rose, but I take it that it's the same product. When searching for various links of this product I noticed it showing up with different packaging as well so is my packaging old or new? Anyway on to the product. Another full size which is fab. This product has a pretty, soft rose scent.

My Thoughts:
I really love the design of this vintage tin and it's very compact to carry around. It does have a cherry & vanilla scent which I am undecided if I like. A good price though and the one I received is full size.
Yes! Nurse Protect Your Lovely Hands ~ £5.45 For 50ml
The Information:
Yes! Nurses' 'Protect Your Lovely Hands' is a natural emollient cream
developed to counteract lipid barrier depletion and subsequent
transepidermal water loss (TEWL) amongst users. The product has been independently safety assessed and certified the following:
- Dermatologically tested as a 'Non-Irritant'
- Compatible with hand hygiene agents (Alcohol Gels/Sanitisers & Hand Washes) regulated to EN1499 and EN1500 standards
- Compatible with surgical gloves
This 24h 'Super Moisturiser' is packed full of essential Omega's and antioxidants to hydrate and revive tired skin.
My Thoughts:
This has a very natural scent to it. It's very smooth, soft and cold on application. It does take just a little more effort than other hand creams I have used to work into the skin. Not enough to be overly critical though. I have the full size version which is great. The packaging fascinated me when it arrived as I was dying to know what was hidden inside. Although it's a product I will use I was a little disappointed to discover another hand cream. The packaging that it came in was really cute inside. I feel that this product is marketed at customers that need to be extremely hygienically clean like nurses, caterers, beauticians etc. I would not say that this is aimed at the average consumer, but that is not to say it will not work well for everyone. Although my GlossyBox information card says this is £5.45 the actual yesnurse website says it's priced from £5.49. Just a small detail, but I thought I should mention it.
So overall this is an average box for me. I like that GlossyBox have made another themed box with a very organic, earthy feel. With Earth Day this month it is very appropriate. I will use the Caudalie Vinosource SOS Thirst-Quenching Serum, the Ayuuri Natural Body Wash (Sensual Indian Rose) and the Yes! Nurse Protect Your Lovely Hands products. The other two I may give away as I'm just not sure I like the scent of the balm and the shade of the lip liner.

Love to you all
