hey guys welcome to planning with crystals and today's unboxing is glossybox this is for march
2022. i cannot believe how quick this year is going already so this month's box is glossy
wonderland that is the theme they're going with so glossybox kindly sent me this box in order
to unbox it for you but i was a paid subscriber before that and i'm not paid to make the reviews
the opinions of my own etc etc now glossybox is a uk based subscription box or something the
one i have is i do also have a discount code for you i'll put it on screen now you can use
that to get your first box for 10 pounds so the subscription retails at 13 pounds 25 per month
and you can get it as low as 11 25 if you sign up to a year subscription so you still pay monthly
you just pay the lower price but you are committed for 12 months so have a think about that if you
are thinking of subscribing but like i said you can get your first box for 10 pounds and then
cancel after that if you obviously don't want to remain with a subscription so in this video i'm
gonna unbox everything for you we're gonna have a look at everything we're gonna talk about what
it's worth what it does and at the end i will give you a box total let you know how much this
month's box is worth so let's get into it this month we want you to love the person you see
through the looking glass and we want it to be a beautiful adventure when you do
step into glossy wonderland this march and explore your playful side
because the world of beauty is at its most fun when we're all free to roam and discover however
we wish you'll be introduced to pops of colour be tempted with new skin care discoveries and dare to
experiment with new beauty techniques unboxing our march edit is an experience to be savoured
filled with five full-size beauty buys worth over 65 pounds there's sure to be something for all
glosses to lose themselves in so we're back to the kind of standard glossy box box i only mentioned
that because sometimes we get like a fancy one or we've had like a tin and stuff before this is this
kind of general one that's what it looks like inside and everything is nicely wrapped up in
tissue paper with like a black ribbon and we've got a little card that says glossy wonderland
so this has actually got a little qr code on the back you scan this and it gives you the virtual
digital um like magazine leaflet type thing so everything goes on your phone instead of having a
physical leaflet i prefer the physical leaflet but i get it's much better for the environment not to
have them there's also a super cute little sticker here that says open me so we're gonna do just that
so we'll start off with last month's sneak peek and of course i will share a sneak peek for april
with you as well here is april sneak peek and i've linked at the top my review of this product
so the sneak peek that we knew about and everyone is getting is from illya beauty this is the rose
liquid highlighter and it's worth 12 pounds 80. it's 15 mil or 0.52 fluid ounces it's natural
vegan and eco-friendly and it's an illuminator an all-natural highlighter enriched with essential
hibiscus oil this lightweight formula immediately adds a luxurious rosy glow to your skin
simply apply the subtle pink highlighter onto the high points of your face for a sun-kissed shine
or if you want to take your base upper gear try mixing a few drops into your foundation
for a subtle finish so it's in a little drop style bottle i've had this before in
like a golden type color not sure how i feel about a pink highlighter
it's in a dropper cell bottle like this and it really is a rosy rosy pink
so this is just one drop of it and you can kind of see crikey the color payoff is there okay so
now it's kind of blending out into more of a kind of subtle highlight i'm not really one for a big
highlight it's not really something i kind of use too often i find myself being a little bit more
about trying to use the right skincare so that your skin kind of glows without too much makeup on
i just don't have a lot of time and patience sometimes to apply highlighter and things unless
like i'm i don't know going out or something to some big event not that that happens very often
but yeah this one's interesting though maybe i could like use it on the body or something
it's not really picking up the light there is it but i always wear it a little bit with
kind of pink toned color highlighters as well that it's potentially going to pick up redness
in the skin and make you look like you've got redness rather than a glow i don't know
let me know your thoughts on a kind of pinky highlighter i guess some people will love it i
just i'm a little unsure myself the next product is what i'm wearing right now and it's called
a mood stick so this is my brand called kndr and it's the ph changing lipstick which is such a fun
little thing it kind of reminds me of like a mood ring or something so this is what the packaging
looks like and this is very alice in wonderland so look at that i think it's really cool packaging
the other thing i would say is actually in a paper tube so this bits
paper that bits paper this bits plastic which i guess maybe that's a little bit more eco-friendly
recyclable but it doesn't feel like an expensive or kind of luxury lipstick so this is what the
product looks like unlike anything else i guess a little bit almost like a lip balm type thing
it feels like a lip balm when you apply it as well so i've already applied the lipstick but i have
done a little video which i'm going to show you now where i apply it and you can see the before
and after and i've also taken a couple of pictures before i put it on and afterwards so you can see
how it's kind of adapted to my natural lip color because that is what this product does
so let me tell you a little bit about this this is no ordinary lipstick this color shifting lipstick
transforms just for you from shade never blue to a ph perfect tone for your lips changing color
right before your eyes bright blue turns into a beautiful baby pink it'll also leave a sheer looks
finish that hydrates your lips from dawn to dusk love the idea of it i think it is quite a nice
color definitely a sort of wearable everyday type shade that i would wear so i think it's something
i'll get a lot of use out of it feels comfortable and moisturizing kind of like i've put a lip balm
on it doesn't feel like i've put a matte lipstick on or anything now i don't think it's going to be
super long wearing i might be wrong it sort of does transfer but kind of i suppose a little
bit like any lip balm would so when you kind of put it on your skin it does still have that
like pinky hue just letting you know in case like you're putting masks on and things and thinking
about the transferring it will transfer but it is more of a colored lip balm than a lipstick
to me anyway it says it retails at 17 pounds which i feel seems a little bit high for the
packaging they're using but i do seem to like the formulation so i can perhaps overlook that
and it definitely goes with the theme of this box you can't argue with that you can get 20 off on
the kndr website as well with the code golossi 20. want to know more about this ph changing
product and how it works read our march sneaky blog or head to page 12 of this digital magazine
next we've got a product from james reed this is the gradual tan sleep mask tan body so it's
basically an overnight tan type product or a gradual tan product rather but it's for the body
i like the idea of overnight so like put it on and forget about it so it's a 100ml bottle or
3.3 fluid ounces and this is worth 21 pounds that's quite a high value develop a natural
looking skin kiss glow with this tanning essential developing through the night during your skin's
most receptive hours it expertly transforms a light sun-kissed hue that can be built upon for
a more intense colour and this is definitely the way i would kind of fake tan in the summer
or spring if i wanted a little bit of colour i would definitely go for like a gradual tan i
usually use tan looks or something like that but this looks like an interesting alternative plus
this fast drying formula is colorless too to keep bed sheets and pjs clean very important definitely
don't want any like transference or anything it doesn't have any kind of scent or anything
which is good because that can be a little bit off-putting let's be honest so it literally
just looks like your everyday kind of lotion it almost reminds me a little bit of hyaluronic acid
so it really does look like it just sinks into the skin and is barely detectable
definitely no real scent to it either so if you don't like that self-tanned
biscuity scent you shouldn't get it with this so that's interesting and you can also get 20
off james reid tan as well using the code glossyjrt20 on their website and the next
product i think is one of those that might divide opinion a little bit don't get me wrong it's not
out there or anything but it's one of those that's more practical than maybe something super exciting
but personally i appreciate the practicality of it so it is a cloth by magneto and it's the wipeout
amazing microfiber cleansing cloth removes makeup with just warm water now personally i don't use
these just with water i use them with my cleanser but i really like them i've got some bamboo ones
that i got from my tlyl box from a couple of months ago and i really like them i'm gonna
repurchase them because they've literally become my favorite cloth this one is actually quite a
bit smaller than the other cloths i've got so kind of size comparison with my head it isn't very big
at all it's they sort of remind me a little bit these cloths of what your white car windows with
if you know what i mean they do work they will remove makeup with just water but personally
i like to use a cleanser as well do feel super duper soft though and i'm always happy to have
another one of these cloths to be honest with you magneto make decent cleansing cloth so i
do appreciate that this is in the box this is worth 8 pounds ditch wasteful face wipes for
good and instead up for this wipeout microfiber cleansing cloth super soft but with the ability
to remove even the toughest most long wearing makeup with just warm water you'll wonder what you
ever did before owning this must-have tool when used just wash and reuse thousands of times too
so if you get the march 1222 glossybox you'll get the four products i've just shown you
then it slightly varies a little bit by the other couple of items you're going to get
in your box so next up you will either receive a shower gel by bubble tea cosmetics
containing a calming sweet floral fragrance accompanied by essential oils to aid relaxation
using this body wash will have you whisked away to wonderland not only this this uplifting shower gel
also cleanses hydrates and moisturizes leaving behind skin that's enveloped in a sweet scent
and that feels velvety soft too and that is worth five pounds whichever product you get as well is
full size it's worth five pounds now i've received this in another scent in a previous beauty box a
few times i think now personally i can't use it it's got sulfur and laura sulfate in which is
a surfactant that irritates quite a lot of skin i don't know why they're still using products other
than it is a cheap cleansing ingredient which is why it's used so much it's in toothpaste and
all kinds of stuff so if you do get reactions definitely something i would suggest you avoid
unfortunately it is also in the other item you may receive which is a shower foam so this is by
brand called beelu and this is worth 3.99 it says upgrade your shower experience with a luxurious
shower foam from bu there are multiple gorgeously scented options up for grabs including cocoa
cocktail tasty donuts pink melon and fizzy berry each have their own skin loving benefits too
which will you receive so i've got cocoa cocktail which sounds like coconut which i would
love to use like i said it just isn't something i can use but it smells amazing as well and it's
a foam which i think is such a clever idea i will put some actually on my hand so you can see
so it should just sprays out as a foam oh it does smell of coconut as well i love coconut it does
smell really good i probably shouldn't put this on my hand um but i wanted to just kind of show you
what it looks like so it is literally a foam kind of like a shaving foam or any other kind of foam
but yeah that smells so good but hopefully you don't have that issue and you can enjoy using
it because it smells fabulous and like i said the other one's a tasty donut i don't know if i'd want
to smell like a tasty donut there we go pink melon and fizzy berry which sounds pretty good
so the final item in here is a sweet treat you will either receive a mallow and marsh vanilla
marshmallow bar coated in milk chocolate very nice or you will receive some raphaelos so it says for
sunglasses beneath the lid of this one's box will be a vanilla marshmallow bar from mallow and marsh
whilst for others it'll be a pack of indulgent raphaelo raphaela reminds me of the turtles
you know the ninja turtles if anyone remembers that delightfully light and fluffy this mellow
marsh bar consists of vanilla marshmallow coated in velvety smooth belgian milk chocolate
on the other hand raphaelo surprises with a delicate combination of different layers
a crunchy white almond surrounded by velvety smooth cream in a crispy wafer shell covered with
coconut flakes i love them both they're amazing but actually my favorite would be rafaello and
that is what i've got in this box there's also 25 off any box of bars or pouches at mellow and
marsh.com with the code glossy25 so there's a little leaflet here explaining about raphaelo
and asking you to do about the survey where you can win 200 pounds of glossybox credits
and then a little pack of raphaels i think we've had them in here as like a little
sort of one-off one or two little individual chocolates this is actually a pack of four so
it's like a kind of full size type little pack so these are made by the same people who make ferrero
rocher these are even more decadent and gorgeous i absolutely love them so i can't wait to jump into
these very very soon really really like these let me know which sweet treat you got as well if you
did get this box so to recap some kind of sweet treat either a shower foam or the shower gel from
bubble tea the gradual body tan the color changing lipstick the highlighter and the cleansing
facial cloth so let me know what did you get in your box in terms of the two items you could
have been sent and were you happy with what was sent let me know what you think of the contents
i think this is a half decent box there's a few products in here i think i'll enjoy using
like some less sure about things like the highlighter because it isn't really my thing
and i feel like we get a lot of highlighters in a lot of beauty boxes you can end up with quite
a few and i think even if i was using highlighter all the time i don't see how i would get through a
product that fast because it's not like a product use a lot of maybe it's me let me know what you
think but i'm looking forward to using the gradual tan definitely something i've reached for going
into kind of spring summer i will enjoy using this lip balm slash lipstick i think it's really
wearable really quite comfortable so i think this will be something i will reach for quite a lot
i'll be gifting this to somebody who can use it and i will be very much enjoying these chocolatey
treats so i hope you've enjoyed watching this video like i said check out the link
