8 x 4 - Pure - Perfume Deodorant



An item from the May Glossybox!

First thing, this is just a deodorant and not an antiperspirant.
So you will keep sweating (which I think is the most annoying thing).

It says that it contains no aluminium, but has a bunch of alcohols and hydrocarbons in it.
Don't let the green packaging fool you, this is not "all natural hippy stuff".

So lets pretend that his is just a perfume!

The scent is listed as calla flower, watermelon, and seaweed.
It's like a water-noted, faint watermelon scent which smells ok when you sniff the top of the container.
When you spray it, it goes everywhere, smells worse, and will bother your lungs.
Just use a nice perfume.

Really, this is an all-round waste of resources.

It is also named after a measurement of wood.



*I'll use the rest as an air freshener.
Price: 5/5($2.03 for 150mL)
Scent: 1/5
Effectiveness: 0/5

Rodial - Glamolash - Mascara - XXL - Black


From the May Glossybox!

I LOVE the brush! This longer brush comb really works for me.


It is a little dry formula-wise (had to re-dip the wand a few times), but otherwise gives an acceptable result.

In mine, there are clearly fibres in the formula, but this is not listed as a feature on the website.


However these fibres do not transfer to the lash, so I don't care that much.

However, there are definitely better mascaras for a better price.

Price: 1/5 ($44.86 for 13mL, also all my prices are AUD)
Scent: 1/5 (smells like old house paint)
Effectiveness: 4/5

Dr. Severin - For Women - Body Aftershave Balm - Original



I got this from the May Glossybox and was really looking forward to trying it.

Before I even took of the seal on this, there was white powder (plastic? free cocaine?!) cap... 

As a balm, it really is more of a gel.
It is soothing, it does the job.

However, you should probably never use it, because of the smell.
It's a mix of generic-male-marine, weird herbs, and hospital disinfectant.
And it's strong.



It is less potent after being on for a little bit, but still there and unpleasant.

It's like they just slapped some lame men's aftershave in a bottle and said 'This is for ladies now!'.

If you are going to sell a product that people they are meant to put over their skin, perhaps don't make it smell like the memory of serious illness.

Update: I noticed a few hours later that it gave me a rash...ugh.

Price: 2.5/5 ($49.77 for 200mL)
Scent: 0/5
Effectiveness: 0/5
