July 2014 Glossybox Review

Hello!

Sorry its taken me a while, but here is my review of this month's Glossybox.

It was really exciting this month as the box had an American theme, so the box had a really cool design on it representing the American flag and all the products were from America.

(Sorry for the poor quality, had to use my phone!)

Item 1
'Bellapierre Cosmetics Ltd' Mineral lipstick
This lipstick is such a pretty colour, perfect to use all year round, really. It contains natural ingredients and vitamins so its not full of harsh chemicals and it protects against the sun to prevent lips drying out. Unfortuneately no colour of lipstick ever seems to suit me so I gave it to my friend and she really loves it!

Item 2
'ABSOLUTE New York' Perfecting eye shadow primer
This primer is oil free so is non-greasy but also not drying. It creates an even skin tone so eye shadow will appear more vibrant and true to its colour or you can wear it alone. 

Item 3
'Carmex' Lip balm
I'd never used 'Carmex' before but have heard a lot of positive things about the brand so I was really happy that I got to try it- and I loved it! It feels really natural and really conditioning and it contains menthol which leaves a cool sensation and you can feel it working. 

Item 4
'Colour Club' nail varnish in Glossy Seal
I really loved the colour of this nail varnish and its exclusive to this month's box to go with the American theme. It did go bubbly when I applied it however it was probably shaken up a lot and also it was a very hot day so that may have contributed to it. However that was about a week ago and I'm still wearing it now with hardly any chips so its very long wearing!

Item 5
'Dr Bronner's Magic Liquid Soaps' Lavender bar soap
As soon as I opened my Glossybox the smell of lavender filled the room! This soap smells amazing and it contains lots of moisturising ingredients. Mine is currently in my wardrobe giving my clothes a lovely scent!


I really loved this month's box and really hope they do another themed box!

Hope you enjoyed this review and thanks for reading.

My first Glossybox (review)

Hello all,

Sorry its been a while, had a bit of writers block, and that paired with an uneventful life leaves you feeling a bit stuck on what to write about.
However, my boyfriend surprised me with a 3 month subscription to Glossybox, a box you receive every month full of lovely beauty treats, I got my first box through the post today and I love it! I'm looking forward to the next two! 

Before I talk about the contents, I just wanted to talk about the packaging as it was just so nice! A pale pink, glossy box (obviously) and then inside was black tissue paper with a ribbon tied around. I really do like nice packaging so I had a bit of a nerd-out about it haha. They don't have to make such an effort as it'll probably end up getting thrown away but it gives a more glamorous feel and for someone with no glamour in their life its quite a nice experience! I'm definitely keeping the box though, its big enough to put bits and bobs in, even somewhere to keep make-up or nail varnish! 

You receive 5 items, and they said 3 of which would be actual size but in fact all but one were actual size so you get really good value for money. 

Item 1
'Rituals...' Qi Gong deodorant spray
This smells really great, a perfect summer scent. I'd love to get a body spray or perfume version to use throughout the day!

Item 2
'L'Oreal Paris' Volume million lashes in Black
This is a really great mascara, it has a plastic brush with loads and loads (you could say millions) of bristles and it fans out your lashes and lengthens them, it also has a 'de-clump' wiper in the bottle which is handy and actually works.

Item 3
'So Susan Cosmetics' Concealer Quad
This concealer is really creamy and really blendable. I like that it has a white so you can use it to highlight as well. However I like my concealers to have quite a lot of pigment and this one is very light in its coverage, but it is so lightweight that it makes it perfect for summer when you don't want to wear too much make-up.

Item 4
'Nailgirls' 3-in-1 base coat, top coat and nail strengthener 
Very handy! Now you can be confident that your nails will be protected and strengthened and also have a great shine!

Item 5
'Teeez Trend Cosmetics' Beautiful Flat Stiff Brush
I've never heard of this brand but this is a really good little eye shadow brush, its really soft and you could easily use it to blend your eye shadow too.

So that's it! These are some really nice products which will also last a long time, I'm looking forward to getting even more great products and trying some that I wouldn't have normally tried. It also came with a little magazine which I shall look forward to reading later :)





Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed!
See you soon
