As we were unable to roll out the bh blue carpet and host a face-to-face event this year, 100 of our VIP members received the 2021 Glosscars Trial Box instead.
Having trialled and reviewed six of our fabulous nominees, here is what our most trusted members had to say about some of the beauty products up for an award this year…
OGX Extra Strength Hydrate & Repair Argan Oil of Morocco Hydrate Mask
We say: Treat yourself to this salon-quality hair mask from the comfort of your own home. Within minutes, bid farewell to dry, damaged and brittle locks with OGX’s latest formula that’s been infused with hydrating argan oil of Morocco and strength building silk proteins.
You say: “When you open the lid, you are greeted with the heavenly aroma of a luxuriously thick cream that is easy to apply. The thick consistency makes it easier for the mask to stay on my hair for a few minutes until I wash it off.” – blu, read more reviews here…
Star rating: 4*
Eimele Metabolism Plus Coffee
We say: Level up your morning latte with Eimele’s vitamin-rich Metabolism Plus Coffee. These convenient pre-portioned sachets simply require a splash of water and you are on your way to enjoying an energy and metabolism boost.
You say: “This has stopped me snacking on sugary snacks between meals and I feel like my metabolism is slightly improved. I am still working on getting more water in as well, which really helps, especially when drunk slightly hot and with lemon or lime juice which is great for cleansing.” – Candyfairy, read more reviews…
Star rating: 4*
Nature’s Way Beauty Rosehip + Collagen Gummies
We say: Meet your daily dose of collagen and vitamin C in the form of pink, delicious, rosehip oil infused gummies. These plant-based, antioxidant-rich beauty bites protect skin cells from free radical damage and promote the support of connective tissue structure and function.
You say: “I have noticed the biggest difference in the elasticity of my skin and hair. The smile lines around my mouth have soften and overall my skin looks brighter and more plump. Also the skin is more tighter.” – nidhi1, read more reviews…
Star rating: 3.5*
BOOST LAB 2-D Hyaluronic Acid Hydro BOOST
We say: Leave skin silky smooth and fight the signs of dry, dull and irritated skin with BOOST LAB’s dermatologically-tested facial serum. Formulated with a hydrolysed hyaluronic acid, treat yourself to a quick dose of intense hydration.
You say: “After using the serum, my skin is left feeling smooth and soft. After continued use over a couple of weeks, my skin is definitely looking healthier and more hydrated. It has a nice glow to it and I’m very pleased with how my complexion is looking. The serum suits my combination skin very well; I never had any skin congestion issues while using the serum.” – aleksandra, read more reviews….
Star rating: 4.5*
Glow Lab Rosehip Oil +Plus
We say: If you want a little more out of your rosehip oil, Glow Lab has incorporated vitamin C and hyaluronic acid for a brighter, more radiant complexion.
You say: “It gives a wonderful glow and keeps my skin plump and nourished, stopping it from feeling dry.” – You beauty, read more reviews…/skin-care/moisturisers/product/rosehip-oil-plus
Star rating: 4.5*
Schwarzkopf Hair Mascara
We say: Instantly manage unwelcome greys with Schwarzkopf’s Hair Mascara. The easy-to-use precise applicator leaves a matte, natural-looking colour that provides even coverage at the roots that will last until your next hair wash.
You say: “I haven’t had my roots coloured in ages so it’s quite noticeable. This product does the best job at covering up my greys and helping them blend into the rest of my hair at a more youthful looking shade! I have this in the colour “Dark Blonde” and it’s perfect!” – Candyfairy, read more reviews…

Hair mascara! That’s a new find
While I wasn’t lucky enough to be one of the trial team recipients, I did enjoy reading the discussion about the products by those who were. Thanks BH and all the testers for making this happen, such valuable insights.
Lucky Gloss cars 100! What a great treat to get these products. I'm interested in all of them!
I love that 100 people got to trial this fabulous box. Amazing 🙂
Interesting products, and good range too.
Nice range of products there. I would have loved to try the coffee in particular.
I’m really interested in trying the OGX hair mask. I love their shampoo and conditioner, so I reckon I’d love this too.
Thank you so much for having me on this trial. Such a wonderful assortment of products. Loving the rosehip oil. Gotta love collagen that looks and tastes like lollies 🙂
This was an amazing trial – so much fun. The Glowlab rosehip oil was probably my favourite of all the products – it's definitely the best rosehip oil I've used (and I love rosehip oil!).
Hey, the article says 7 nominees, but there are only 6 listed here!
There were 100 Glosscars Box recipients, eh? I was lucky enough to be one of them. THANKS, BH!
The one I'm most keen to see win is the Boost Lab 2D Hydro Boost.
Ah, when I submitted my reply and the page refreshed the number in the article changed to 6.
Glad you have your eyes on the numbers 🙂
I didn't notice.
For me the top pick was the Glow Lab Rosehip Oil….my skin loved it.
I haven't tried any of these although I've tried other products from all the brands. Sounds like a great trial to have been involved in, was fun (and interesting) to read all the reviews, especially those where there was a big difference in opinion.
Some great products there, love the sound of Boost Lab serum
I'm another very grateful and appreciative member to have received the Glosscars Pack. I think the two standouts were the hair mascara and the coffee. If only the coffee wasn't soooo expensive.
Wow, 100 of us! Thank you BH!
Interesting observation. We have habits. New things, new experiences. Took me a while to get used to new coffee (as I never drink instant) and oil didn't want to absorb. Now I got a hang of them all…and enjoy! Love the simplicity of HA serum, my skin loves it too.
Some absolutely fabulous products!
I love it so much! xo
I have used the Glow Lab and Boost Lab in the past and love them. The coffee looks interesting as I'm a huge coffee drinker.
Same. I really liked the coffee, but there’s no way I’d pay full retail.
My three big loves were the Schwarzkopf Hair Mascara (so convenient and works so well to cover pesky greys), the OGX Oil of Morocco Hair Mask (this is amazing for my hair!!) and the Glow Lab Rosehip Oil Plus. If I had to pick just the one it would be the OGX Hair Mask!
Thanks so much BH for including me in this. I loved every item in the box. That coffee is amazing.
The coffee sounds amazing but so expensive!
I would rather use the hair mascara if I was in a rush.So very good.
Good to know!
I was lucky enough to be chosen to take part in the Glosscars trial team 🙂 🙂 I especially loved that hair mask – so good!
I guess I'm not a VIP =(
The rose hip oil sounds like it had effective results!
I enjoyed being on this trial. My favourites were the Boost Lab, Glow Lab and Eimele products.
when does voting open for the glosscars?
The voting is open for Glosscars Box recipients already. I don't know if they'll open it up later for everyone else to vote.
I'm a numbers nerd, so I can't help noticing numbers. Yes, I see they've edited the title.
I did enjoy trying new products.
Love the newbies on the market… Some ones to try out for sure…
Hair mascara. I need it.
The gummies look interesting
Not tried any of the products but would like to try the BL serum
This definitely sounds worth a try.
Hyaluronic acid and vit c in combo.
Love hearing about awesome products – will be trying a few of these, especially the hair mask 🙂
Congrats to those lucky enough to be on the trial. Love to try the gummies.
The OGX hair mask is on special at Priceline at the moment, so I’m off to get some……
Wow 100 lucky people. Very generous!
Loved the Boost Lab serum and hair mask. Thank you BH for the opportunity to trial these products.
Thanks to Bh for including me in the trial team. So many great products to try and probably was most impressed by the OGX hair mask!
I would like to try the coffee.
I was invited but wasn't lucky enough to be on the trial. Lots of great products that I'd like to try and I've enjoyed reading the reviews.
I absolutely loved this trial and have found some products that will be permanently in my skincare/hair routine. Thanks BH!
omg the ones who got the trial boxes are soo lucky! I hope a few of them went interstate too since the events are held in sydney and those out of state usually miss out.
