The New Crown & Glory Glitterati Box

Thursday 19 October 2017

Until last year, I was subscribed to the Crown & Glory Glitterati. It was a hair accessory subscription service that sent different head bands, bobbles, clips and more each month, with a theme. I cancelled in the run up to the wedding to save money, but with the announcement that they were changing the box and adding jewellery, homeware and more, I had to try it again. It costs £23.95 a month in the UK (which includes shipping).

I've been subscribed for 3 months now but this is the first time I've blogged the box. Mostly, because I can't quite make up my mind about it. I miss having more hair accessories and the use of the word 'homeware' is a little misleading. So far the 'homeware' aspect of the box has included passport and notebook covers, it's definitely more stationary focused than I realised. This month I was excited thinking there would be a Halloween theme, but instead they opted for a 'Stars, Skulls and a Whole Lot of Glitter' theme.


One of three non-hair accessories this month, is the starry glittery pouch. I use pouches like this to store my lipstick in in my handbag so I was more than happy with this. It's really cute and it doesn't seem like the glitter will rub off.


Next up is some wax candle melts from the Ember Candle Company in the shape of little skulls, it's the only spooky item this month. You get four skulls, and these are orange and cinnamon scented which is just a perfect autumn smell. I have a skull designed for the melts so I can't wait to get these in it.


The last non-hair accessory, is these star shoe clips. They are cute but I'm not sure quite what to do with them! They are pale orange and pale yellow, which aren't colours I usually wear, but these might look OK on my rose gold Converses. We shall see!


One of the cuter items is this heart hair clip. It looks almost like it has planetary rings around it, and is quite tattoo like. I'll definitely wear this and it's a cute addition to the box.


And finally, my absolute favourite piece in the box, this crescent moon barrette. This is truly beautiful, and I think against my now blue hair will look lovely.

I'm not sure I'm going to keep subscribed to the box, but I will for at least another month as it continues to grow and change.

Much love,
Kitty xxxx

  1. I really like Crown and Glory and have lusted after their stuff for a bit - had no idea they did a subscription box! The moon barrette is my favourite too.

  4. I love that moon clip and would definitely wear it. I honestly don't know if I would like this kind of mix of products especially for £24.

    1. I'm still in two minds about it for the same reason, I think I miss it being all hair products

  5. I'm a glitterati subscriber too and I'm really missing it being all hair accessories. I thought I was the only one!
    I wish there was a glitterati homeward n hair box and a hair box to choose from. As primarily I signed up for hair candy. Snap with your favourite bits, Ive thought about fashioning the shoe clips into hair accessories

    1. you are definitely not the only one! I figure I'll give it another month or two and see how it goes before I decide whether to cancel or not
