  • Glow’s New Year New You January Subscription Box

    I’ve been looking forward to 2024 wondering what subscription boxes Glow would bring out. Over the past few years I’ve enjoyed many from Glow. But I wasn’t too sure what to expect with their New Year New You January Subscription Box. All that I knew was it would contain bath and body products. So what did it include?

    Calming Deodorant Balm

    I’ve wanted to get my hands on one of Glow’s deodorants since my daughter stole my last one. So I was pleased to see this in the collection. Made with essential oils and containing shea butter, this deodorant is designed to neutralise odours without drying the underarm area. This has a lavender scent to it which isn’t overpowering and very soothing in scent.

    Essentially Glow Body Butter

    Glow’s body butters are superb. I’ve used them before, so this being included made me very happy! Essentially Glow smells relaxing and calming with an aromatherapy scent to it (lavender, same scent as the deodorant balm), and texture wise looks rich but lightly whipped. Perfect for dry skin during this current colder season.

    Coast Bubble Bath

    This sparkles! Oh my goodness Coast Bubble Bath not only is a gorgeous marine, sea like blue/green colour but it sparkles! This gives me full on mermaid vibes and is incredibly pretty and unusual to see something so eye catching in bubble bath form. The fragrance matches how it looks, marine like, fresh and mineral based. Beautiful!

    Softly Bath Oil

    How Softly Glow Bath Oil is packaged is so cute. It looks like a small bottle of tonic which obviously you don’t drink, but is literally a tonic for the bath. The texture looks like an oil and the fragrance is a spicy citrus blend. Can’t wait to try this.

    Brow Serum

    A Brow Serum is a product I have never used before or thought about purchasing but probably need it. Unfortunately, I never will as my daughter has claimed this already. The serum looks very fluid and easy to apply as the applicator is just like a lash wand. I think my daughter will enjoy using this.

    Gloss & Glow Cookie Dough Lip Gloss

    Shaped as a pencil, Gloss & Glow Cookie Dough Lip Gloss is adorable in its packaging, fun fragrance and perfect for my 12 year old (yes she’s taken it!). I’m not a massive lip gloss wearer so this is perfect for my daughter. And the packaging probably suits her age and tastes more than mine so it’s gone to a good home.

    Gloss & Glow Cookie Dough Lip Gloss
    Mist Spray Dispenser

    The mist spray dispenser included is chargeable and comes with a USB lead. You can pop in your favourite mist, essence or simply water to spray onto the face and freshen up. It has the cutest little animal figure inside of it and it lights up when the dispenser is in use. Another item that will disappear via my daughter I think….

    Mist Spray
    Body Puff

    I’m not a fan of body puffs because they can be quite cheap in feel and scratchy on the skin. The body puff included in this sub box looks nice and much softer in feel which will make using this more enjoyable and easy.

    So this is Glow’s first subscription box of 2024 and isn’t it filled with some amazing goodies? I love the mix of products in this box. Yet again totally different to any other subscription box brought out by this business. All products are pampering, easy to use, great sizes and brilliant quality.

    Great job Glow!

    The Best Advent This Year! Glow’s Christmas Advent Calendar 2023

    Glow’s Cosy Toes & Winter Glows October Subscription Box

    Glow’s Pick Your Own Wax Melts From August’s Subscription Box

  • The Best Advent This Year! Glow’s Christmas Advent Calendar 2023

    I make no secret of how much I love small business Glow. It started off with my discovery of their wax melts. Then I tried out their other home fragrance products. To make my addiction even worse they started to make and sell bath and body products too (which of course I’ve tried). One way I keep my Glow habit going is through their monthly subscription boxes. The biggest and best one so far has got to be their Christmas Advent Calendar for 2023, and guess who has it? ME!

    Glow’s 2023 Advent Calendar
    What is this?

    Glow’s 2023 Christmas Advent Calendar includes 25 products labelled 1 to 25. These are a mix of wax melts, home fragrance products and bath and body products.

    Bath soak
    What’s included?

    16 tubs of fragranced wax.

    1 candle.

    1 foaming hand wash.

    1 bubble bath.

    1 bath soak.

    1 foaming bath salts.

    1 hand cream.

    1 massage oil.

    1 room spray.

    1 perfume.

    2 Christmas decorations.

    Perfume
    First impressions?

    My first thought when I opened this was WOW! The box was so heavy it was overflowing with products! The variety and sizes of these items was impressive. The wax wasn’t tiny chunks of wax, or the bath and body product were in sample sizes. The wax melts easily could be 60g plus in weight. The candle is a really good, medium size and products such as the hand cream, room spray and massage oil are in full sizes. Very generous amounts of product.

    Some of the packaging is super cute and festive too. The bubble bath, bath salts and bath soak all are housed in Christmas inspired shaped containers. The look, the sizes, the fragrances (ALL SMELL AMAZING!) blew me away and worth every penny of the £30.00 spent on this!

    This possibly could be my favourite box from Glow yet!

  • Glow’s Cosy Toes & Winter Glows October Subscription Box

    I’ve already made it pretty clear how I feel about Glow’s subscription boxes. So is it a massive surprise to find that I purchased October’s subscription box? It wasn’t to me, especially when I found out this would be a body product based selection of goodies. So what was included?

    Glow’s Cosy Toes & Winter Glows October Subscription Box
    Cuddles Body Mist

    The first thing that struck me was the shape of the dispenser this body most was in. It’s simple but unusual (rounded top and slightly rounded bottom) and I love it! This smells great and has already been taken by my daughter!

    Glow’s Cuddles Body Mist
    Fruity Deodorant Stick

    Natural deodorants are very popular at the moment. I’ve used one before and I’ve loved how it smelt and performed. So I was very excited to see this within October’s subscription box. First thing I noticed was this appears to be a generous size and the smell…oh my goodness! Smells just like the fruity chewing gum strips I used to have as a kid.

    Glow’s Fruit Deodorant Stick
    Rainbow Reef Whipped Soap

    A beautifully freshly fragranced light and airy whipped soap which is a stunning shade of blue. Whipped soaps are great for those who want a bit of luxury when washing their body and something incredibly moisturising which these traditionally are.

    Glow’s Rainbow Reef Whipped Soap
    Lemon Magnesium Balm

    This looks like any balm but this is quite special. Firstly, this is a travel size in a travel appropriate pot which can be hooked onto a bag or strap of some sorts. The balm itself looks balm like and scented in a sweet and zesty citrus lemon fragrance. But what this balm is designed to do is moisturise, help to heal the skin and help with general aches and pains thanks to it’s magnesium content.

    Glow’s Lemon Magnesium Balm
    Funky Monkey Shampoo

    The fragrance of Funky Monkey Shampoo is fruit based and mouth watering. This comes in a decent size which should last awhile and the consistency intrigues me. It doesn’t appear very thick, so I can’t wait to see how this performs and see how concentrated it is.

    Glow’s Funky Monkey Shampoo
    Re Glow Soap

    Packaged in a small box and wrapped in Glow paper, this soap bar has a ginger scent to it with a homely, handmade look and feel with the addition of dried oranges decorating it. This looks very Autumn and Winter inspired, so perfect for this time of year. The fragrance alone makes me want to use this asap as it’s so good!

    Glow’s Re Glow Soap
    Extras

    Included as extras was a hairbrush and soap dish holder (don’t ask what I originally thought this was!).

    Price

    £25.00 which included postage and packaging.

    First thoughts?

    A great selection of products to use on the body which are not only pampering but practical too. All fragrances are fabulous, great mix of textures and consistencies (which I love) and I can’t wait to delve into this box further!

  • Why I Love Glow’s Subscription Boxes

    I love a subscription box! A subscription box is the perfect way to sample different products from vendors or brands as a one off or repeat purchase. The best part of it is you can get a subscription box containing anything these days. I’ve loved the wax melt and bath and body subscription boxes from small business Glow over the last few years. But which ones have been my favourites?

    Glow’s A Trick Amongst The Treats October 2021 Wax Melt Subscription Box

    I was kindly gifted this subscription box and this was a STUNNER! A beautifully crafted set of Halloween themed wax melts which not only looked amazing but smelt it too. Generous in size, themed perfectly fragrance wise and I loved the fact these went down a pretty Halloween route rather than the typical gruesome one they could easily have created.

    A Trick Amongst The Treats Wax Melt Subscription Box
    Ruffles At The Palace August 2022 Wax Melt Subscription Box

    Inspired by Disney and Princesses, Ruffles At The Palace August 2022 Wax Melt Subscription Box contained wax melts which screamed Disney characters and themes to me. From Once Upon A Time wax melt which was a stunning shade of yellow like the character’s Belle’s dress to Three Wishes which had hints of Snow White’s story in the appearance of it. A collection of sweetly fragranced wax melts which where ornate and easy on the eye.

    Glow’s Bath & Body March 2023 Subscription Box

    This particular subscription box was the one I was probably the most hungry to get my hands on! Why? It was the first proper glimpse of Glow’s new bath and body range which got all their customers very excited! From a hand wash, body butter, bath bomb…this box was full of pampering delights that made me very happy!

    Bath & Body Subscription Box
    Glow’s Bath, Skin & Hair Care July 2023 Subscription Box

    Another taste of non-wax melt products made and sold by Glow, but this time including a hair product. What I really liked about this selection was it contained so many different products it covered nearly the whole body. Hair mask, bath soak, foot spray, soap, perfume balm and body moisturiser. If this wasn’t a well thought out subscription box nothing else is!

    Glow’s Crime Scene Investigators April 2023 Wax Subscription Box

    Going back to what Glow was originally known for, their April 2023 subscription box was all about wax melts. This box was given to me by Glow and was imaginatively themed around a murder investigation. The theming was clever, each wax melt looked and smelt like they were a part of the story. As per usual, each wax melt was massive in size, attention to detail spot on and smelt amazing!

    Crime Scene Investigators Subscription Box

    So if there was ever a subscription box you should sign up for Glow should be on your list! Brilliant themes, each product presented well and great sizes. And the price of each box incredibly affordable. THIS IS WHY I love Glow’s subscription boxes!

    Currently available only through their Facebook group page but hopefully will be open to everyone from their website in the future.

    So here’s a burning question, have I purchased any new monthly subscription boxes from Glow? Maybe……..
