It has been a long time since I was really pleased with a Glossy Box but I was delighted to receive this months edition. A few weeks a go I received an email about the box being the "Pearl Lowe" design box and was so excited, even if I did not like the contents I would have a lovely box to keep. It was an added bonus that the contents was an all round winner this month too. The box itself  is a beautiful English rose thirties style design print (I wish Pearl had got to edit the contents too). The contents is "Spring" themed and this month the theme actually matches the box. The product I'm most excited about was the Yves Rocher perfume; this smells amazing, it has a strong violet scent that I love. The box also comes with a coupon for the full size bottle and I am tempted to purchase it! Secondly I loved the SLEEK blush. I haven't had a chance to try this brand yet but have heard such great things about their products. This is a great product for me to start with. It is a wonderfully bright pink blush, perfect for Spring/Summer months. The compact as its name is sleek and compact and has a little mirror inside, perfect for touch ups. I was pleased to see the ESSIE nail polish. Although I'm not usually a fan of the nail stuff in boxes I've decided that despite my laziness I would try a few nail looks over the summer months. I had actually decided a few days ago I would try out the ESSIE polishes as I love the colour range they offer, and this bright red is perfect for me to jump in with. The Sunsense is another great product. I am very militant about wearing sunscreen all year round, even in the usual gloomy weather. I am a firm believer that it makes a difference. Unfortunately the highest I've ever been able to get a moisturiser in is SPF 35 which is OK for the UK but not so great for my Summer holidays. Usually I use Neutrogena sunscreen in SPF 50 to 90 but I don't really like the feel on my face. Hopefully this cream specially designed for the face will do the trick and feel a lot nicer on the skin. Annoyingly it comes in a twist cap tube so not ideal for testing before use. I'll have to decant it into a travel tube/ jar. If everything works out OK I'll definitely be purchasing a full size for Summer. Lastly the Nip + Fab body butter. I'm personally not a fan of the skin care range but I am interested in the body care stuff as I've yet to try it. This body butter smalls amazing and is so thick and lovely. I'm really looking forward to trying this out. Overall this was a great Glossy Box and I can't wait to use everything!
