UNBOXING: LOOKFANTASTIC December 2024 #Blogmas2024
Before we start, I pay for this box myself, I have got a code at the bottom where I may earn points/store credit as well as giving you discount. I also may not like some of the items in the box, I am allergic to lavender so any products with this I will give to family and friends, they get to choose what they want but otherwise at the end of the year I will donate unopened/unused items to Harrogate Food Bank.

Glossybox UK 2023
This is the first year I have documented Glossybox on my blog, I thought I would do a run down of I what I got this year in my Glossybox's. If you got the boxes let me now what you thought? Also thought I would mention that obviously I can't use all of these products and some of them I know I won't like so recently I donated things to Harrogate Food Bank, see here , I don't want to come across as ungrateful, I paid for these boxes and didn't want to waste the items.
