August Glossybox


This is a little bit late, and I accidentally forgot to show my July box, but here's the August glossybox! This months box design was a little different that usual, this being because it was their 5th Birthday, woo! So they decided send out a limited edition box, and it's quite simple, but I like it.



So this is the boxes contents and I have to admit that I was slightly disappointed with this box, especially considering it was their 5th Birthday. I was highly anticipating beautiful make up and soft creams. This box featured 2 full size products, 1 full sized little bag? and 2 sample products. It's funny because my favourite part of this box is the MUA make up palette that I could pick up from Superdrug for just £4. However I am looking forwards to trying the Spa to you deep pore facial cleansing brush, I've had good experiences with this brand. 




MUA Eye Shadow Palette - Full Size 

RRP / £4

SHOP / muastore.co.uk

So the first product we have is an MUA make up palette, Glossybox gave us the chance to choose our own palette, I chose Hall of Fame,just because this palette has the most eyeshadow I'm likely to use. It's highly pigmented and contains 12 lovely colours, and lets be honest, you can never have too much eye shadow!


Spa to you - Full Size 

RRP / £6.99

SHOP / spatoyou.com

Next we have the Deep pore facial cleansing brush my spa to you, a brand that I do thoroughly enjoy every single time I use one of their products. The soft bristles are specially designed to help buss away dead skin cells for a deep but gentle facial cleanse. The combination of silky soft bristles and silicone cushions also help to massage the skin in order to improve microcirculation for renewed radiance. All you need to do in order to get the best results from this product is wet the bruch and apply your cleanser and then you'll be winning at life!



Mudmasky - Sample size

RRP (full size) / £53

SHOP / mudmasky.com

This month we also received a facial detox purifying recovery mask by Mudmasky. Now I'm a sucker gor a good face mask, so I am happy with this product, I would just rather have received a bigger sample, possibly a full size seeing as it was a Birthday edition. Now this is one of the first PH-balanced facial treatments, it's formulated using all-natural ingredients and contains no parabens, but still manages to fully detoxify the skin. This mask also refines and tightens pores, hydrates brightens and smooths skin and generally gives it a boost. In order to get the best results we have been told to use this one a week, so I'll be trying that starting this week, and hopefully we'll have a go to face mask!



Cowshed - Sample Size

RRP (full size) / £20

SHOP /cowshedonline.com

Now this is a product I'm yet to try and completely unsure whether I'm likely to, I really don't like the way it smells. Although I'd never judge a book by it's cover, so many I should give it a chance. This products it said to give you an energy boost due to its boosting blend of Lemongrass, Ginger, and Rosemary. It moisturises the skin with Shea and Cocoa Butters. It's made using natural ingredients and is packed full of skin-loving essential oils.


Rae Feather - Miniature size

RRP / £20

SHOP /raefeather.com

The final item we received this month is a mini monogram pochette that I can't say I'm too keen on. It just feels a little cheap, like it could fall apart at any moment. I'll probably keep a couple of things in it at home, but highly doubt I would ever use it as a make-up bag or take it out with me anywhere. 

Like you've probably guessed or I've probably mentioned in this post, I'm not really that happy about the August Glossybox. I just think it was a little disappointing considering this was their Limited Edition Birthday box. I'm looking forward to seeing what the September box is like, hopefully it will encourage me to continue with this subscriptuon

June Glossybox


I've been interested in these monthly subscription boxes for awhile now, and I finally decided to sign up for one. After spending days upon days researching, watching more videos than I could ever remember, I finally decided to sign up for Glossybox!


Now the first thing I was blown away by was how beautiful the boxes are, it's such a lovely pastel pink, and it's so simple yet elegant.


As you can see from this picture of the boxes contents, in this months glossy box we received 5 full size products, and one bonus sample. The boxes contents were worth around £60 and I must say that it was a fantastic first box!


Ladvial - Full Size 
RRP / £19.99
SHOP / boots.com

So the first product we have is the sun protection spray by Ladvial. This product is SPF 15, which is something that really disappointed me when opening the box because I'm really fair, and had this have been of a higher SPF I would have definitely used this! This product does sound very good though, and I may still give it a try as it's scientifically proven to protect four types of UV rays, and I'm now one to judge a product without at least giving it the benefit of the doubt and trying it. 



Emite Make Up - Full Size
RRP / £12.50
Shop / emitemakeup.com
The next products is a lovely lip and cheek tint by Emite make up. This is a two in one tint for both lips and cheeks, which I think is a great thing to throw in your handbag, there's nothing like a two in one product! 


Starskin - Full Size
RRP / £8.50
Shop / starskinbeauty.com
What's this? ANOTHER FULL SIZED PRODUCT! Here we have Eye Catcher, a smoothing Bio-Cellulose Eye Mask by Starskin. I'm yet to use this product, so I am unable to give my opinion on this products, but I must admit that I am excited to use this. Reading from the leaflet though, I know that this product is soaked in vitamin rich serum, they are super hydrating and are quick to reduce puffiness and dark circles. Dark circles are something that bothers me a lot, so knowing their claim to reduce this intrigues me into using this product soon.


Spa To You - Full Size.
RRP / £6.99
Shop / spatoyou.com
This months new discovery product is the Konjac Sponge by Spa To You. This is a very interesting product, upon opening this I was amazed by the sponge, and am really enjoying using this product. So this is the latest cleansing trend from Japan and Korea, they are made from the natural fibres of the konjac, which is a porous root vegetable. 



De Bruyere - Full Size
RRP / £9.48
Shop / Deruyere.fr
This is an After Sun Lotion by De Bruyere, and is another full sized product. This is another product that I am yet to use. This is for skin that feels a little sensitive after a day in the sun or to simply help prolong your summer tan. It's enriched with gardenia petals soaked in coconut oil, alongside vitamin E. 


Aussie Hair Care - Sachet 
RRP / £1. 09
Shop / aussiehair.com/hair
We also received a bonus product this month, which was a 3 minute miracle reconstructor deep conditioner. Now this is something I will definitely use as Aussie my hair brand of choice.


 I'm incredibly pleased with my first Glossybox, and really hope they continue to be as good, or better than the previous. I'll also continue to share the contents of my box with you here every month!
