Glossybox July 2013


Alrighty, so this months glossybox was quite alright. If you don't know what Glossybox is its a monthly subscription which is £10 a month including p+p. You sign up and fill in the info and you get given a wonderful gift box, wrapped beautifully and handed delicately - with 5 products to try out.

SLEEK - Pout Paints
When I came across these, I got rather excited! First off, the colours are loud + vibrant. The brightest pink and the brightest orange suits me just fine. From left - LAVA and from the right - Pinkini.
Alright, so these are highly pigmented lip stains- and they really do mean highly pigmented. You can mix and match around the colours and maybe do an 'Ombre Lip' these are a perfect little size to chuck in your bag, and to do different designs on your lips. A little goes a VERY long way!
RRP £5

CIATE Nail Polish- 'The Glossip'
This highly pigmented nail polish in the reddest coral excited me thoroughly. This polish has the biggest brush ever, good just to glide on and bad if your clumsy.. it gets messy..
This needs about two coats, and I must say it doesn't dry very quickly but doesn't dry annoyingly slowly either. These are the new summer collection shades- and I'm definitely looking forward to trying out some more different shades!
RRP - £9

ANATOMICALS - spray misty (full size)
I love, love this spray it is cooling and smells devine. It squirts on quite heavily- it could do with being a little finer. It doesn't set your make-up like it claims but for cooling down the face and body it is simply perfect!
RRP -£6

COOLA Face SPF 30 Cucumber Moisturiser 
As we've been getting alot more hot weather in England I think its rather brilliant that Glossybox sent us a suncream, don't you?!
Coola organics suncare collection is hypoallergenic, free of parabens and packed with antioxidants. What more can you ask for? It provides complete UVA/UVB protection and fights free radicals, while soothing, toning and minimising your pores. It also delivers powerful moisture into your skin with the organic Acai oils.
RRP- Full size 50ml -£25.99

Alterna Haircare Bamboo Style Waves Tousled Texture Mist (sample)
This spray works similarly to a sea salt spray in that it creates soft bouncy waves in the hair but I do think that the effect will be entirely dependent on your hair type. Unlike sea salt spray this doesn't leave my hair feeling sticky and stiff nor a knotted mess- Although this product works like a sea salt spray just without that sticky tacky feeling left on your hair.
RRP- 125ml £23

So I dont know about you but im quite impressed with this months Glossybox.
If you have the lovely heat like we do, keep on top with the sun cream guys!

Happy Monday
