I am just going to start by saying Glossybox made me really mad! I was not at all impressed with my first box and wanted to cancel my subscription. I knew that I needed to cancel by the 15th of the month. I contacted them and they pointed out that in the fine print it is stated that you have to cancel by the 15th of the previous month to not get the next months box. I did not even receive my first box till after the 15th so I would have had to cancel without ever seeing my first box in order to not get charged for the next month. Just based on that I am so over this company. But I am still going to show you what I got in my March box and let you decide if it is worth it.
The March box was dedicated to the "amazing ladies in our lives who lead by example". The products are all "hard-working, multi-benefit products that will keep you looking and feeling like the girl boss that you are". Let's dive right in.
Cover FX Perfect Pencil Corrector in N Light This is a full size product that retails for $20 but is on sale right now for $10. Their description: "A waterproof multi-purpose pencil with a precision tip that allows you to define the lip line and brow arches, brighten the waterline of the eye, and conceal imperfections."
This pencil is very creamy. It is very blendable. I really like the fine tip for easy application on those pesky blemishes! The applicator is a twist top so no worrying about needing to sharpen the top. It's also waterproof!

Form Multitask 3-in-1 leave in lotion This is a deluxe sample you can order this 1.7 oz bottle for $14 or get the full 12 oz bottle for $32. Their Description: "Your style is versatile because every day is a new day. That’s why we designed Multitask to work with you in three ways: as a leave-in conditioner, daily moisturizer and style refresher. No matter what your needs are, Multitask keeps your hair hydrated and looking fresh."

Figs & Rouge Hydra-Pore Soft Focus PORE PERFECT HD + MATTE VEIL This is a full size product but just like the problem I had with a couple items in the February box this item is not available for purchase right now. Oh and it is exclusive to www.feelunique.com/ which is a company based in the UK and the pricing is in pounds.
Their description: "Figs & Rouge HD+ Matte Veil is a weightless, matte serum designed to help minimize the appearance of pores & create a sheer complexion. With a unique duo action this anti-blemish formulation, helps reduce skin impurities & combat breakouts."

De Bruyere Beaute Jumbo Eye Pencil This is a full size product. This product is sold by a company based in France and retails for 15 euros. There is no description on their website, here is how Glossybox describes it: "Jumbo eye pencil, khaki-grey glamorous and shimmering shade, highly pigmented which, thanks to its generous size , can be used either as liner or eye shadow."
I do like the color, it is an almost metallic brown. It is very creamy and blendable. I like the crayon tip which makes application pretty easy though if you want more control you can use a brush to apply it.

Morgan Taylor Professional Nail Lacquer in I'm Charmed This is a full size product. You can not buy it from the retailer unless you are a salon owner. I was able to find it on jcpenney.com on sale for $7.13. Morgan Taylor's description: "Inspired by luminous pearls, raw gems, semi-precious stones, glimmering silvers and radiant gold all drawn from the earth. The exclusive Morgan Taylor Nail Lacquer is infused with rare and precious elements. All pigments are saturated, pure and finely milled for luminous metallics, never before seen shimmers, decadent crèmes, stunning sheers and more glistening glitters. The payoff—smooth, even, long-lasting color with a gorgeous professional finish. In our commitment to the professional and as a worldwide leader in the nail industry we recognize the importance of a globally compliant nail lacquer that is free of Formaldehyde, Toluene, and DBP."
This is a very nice lacquer that feels high end. The color is a very light pink color that's so pretty. If you are looking for an understated look this is the color for you. It is very feminine and perfect for spring. It took me 3 coats for even coverage.

Unani's description: "A gentle cleansing milk based on nutritious natural oils which purifies and protects the skin by removing impurities as well as makeup, leaving it soft and restoring its elasticity."
This was an "add on" product, considered a "Glossy fave". The fact that it isn't for sale anywhere makes me feel like Glossybox was just cleaning out their overstock of products.
What I think overall: This was yet again a disappointing box. There were products that aren't available for purchase and products that aren't sold in US dollars. None of the products were a huge hit for me. The best product to me is the nail lacquer.
According to Glossybox the retail value for this box is $142.50 but after converting the prices to US dollars and discounts available right now the actual retail value is $126.86.
The value of this box is pretty good but with out being able to buy some of the products (if I happen to fall in love with any) really stinks! Since this is the second time I have had this problem I have canceled my membership with Glossybox....Oh well on to the next one!
