GlossyBox Best of Britain Box Review

The Limited Edition GlossyBox Best of Britain Box has arrived! This box was available for sale a few weeks ago and sold out in less than a day. (If you want to make sure you don't miss out on the next Limited Edition GlossyBox, sign up for the My Subscription Addiction daily newsletter!)

This is probably my favorite subscription box packaging ever, so I took a lot of unboxing pictures!

A little different than the usual monthly GlossyBox card, this fold out sheet details every item in the box.

HD Brows Grow Baby Grow - Value $45

I don't think I need thicker brows, so I'll probably pass this item along to a friend.

Batiste Dry Shampoo in Blush - Travel Size Value $2.30

Nails Inc. Kensington Caviar Top Coat - Value $18.20

Me Me Me Cosmetics Beat the Blues Skin Illuminator in Pearl Pink - Value $8.30

I'm pretty happy with all of these items - I can always use dry shampoo and nail polish top coat, plus this skin illuminator reminds me of Benefit High Beam!

Helen E Cosmetics Lasting Lip Colour in Raspberry - Value $12.20

Nail Girls London Nail Polish in White #1 - Value $12.90

Steam Cream All-In-One Natural Moisturizer for Face, Body & Hands - Value $19.50

Mitchell and Peach Luxury Hand Cream - Value $26

I really like the scent of both of these lotions - I think the Steam Cream is my favorite though!

Verdict: I paid $40 for this box and received over $140 worth of cosmetic products from Britain - I love it! I'll use almost all of the products, and I will definitely be reusing this box! Were you lucky enough to get a Best of Britain box before they sold out? What did you think of the box?

I tried to order one of these boxes but they sold out fast! I am a sucker for packaging and this box is the cutest yet, thanks for so many pics. Enjoy all the British goodies 🙂

You can use grow baby grow on lashes as well if that helps :).

Steam Cream is AMAZING – I love having a tin around and use it sparingly but it smells amazing.

I got mine! I think my favorite item was the box itself. The grow baby grow says it also works for eyelashes which I lack.

I couldn’t even finish a day of work before I saw that it was sold out. Oh well, I hope they do another “Best of” box. Maybe they can do products from other countries. Hopefully, I’ll be able to order that one in time. This one looks cool.

I just got mine yesterday and I love it! Not real sure how you use the skin illuminator but I’m looking forward to finding out. My favorite products are the steamcream and the lipstick…I will use everything except the grow baby grow…I have a ton of brows! I’ll probably gift it as well!

Senny, you could do a number of things with the illuminator. I use mine to top my bronzer, blush, highlighter “sandwich”. You can also use on your brow bone under your brows and in the valley of your lips, just a little dab. If you are young and like a dewey complexion, mix a drop of highlighter into your matte BB cream, foundation or moisturizer and apply as usual. Have fun with it, I missed out on ordering this box-it sold out lightening fast!
