GLOSSYBOX UNBOXING - JULY 2018 UK BOX

I'm back with another Glossybox unboxing post.

My July box finally arrived this morning and as it's already somewhat later arriving than usual I didn't want to delay blogging and filming.

Before I get into the unboxing bit I'm going to give a brief explanation on what Glossybox is. Boring for those of you who may frequent my blog posts (As I always do this) but helpful for those of you who may not have heard about Glossybox before.

So Glossybox is a subscription service where you pay a monthly fee (£10 + £3.25pp) and in return receive a box containing five beauty products. I usually find you get three full sized products with the other two being travel size. There are different subscription packages you can choose from and you can get more information on the Glossybox website.

This month's box is different to the standard boxes you receive. It has a tropical beach ocean vibe kind of thing going on.

Here's what the box looks like

This is definitely my favourite looking box to date.


And this is the card that is with this month's box

Onto the products....

The first product featured in the box is the Sea Water Hair Spray by Senhor Do Bonfim. It says this is the perfect heat free curl enhancer for that effortless, windswept 'I've not even tried' look.

I know I'll be giving this away as I have too many hair care products to get through and I know I wouldn't reach for this anyway

The second product is the La Source Hand Therapy by Crabtree & Evelyn.

It's formulated with a marine blend of antioxidant-rich seaweed extracts and red sea algae. It says the hydrating power of hylauronic acid also improves your skin's natural moisturiser barrier.

I think I've said before in my post that I can get really dry hands so I'm always on the look out for a good hand cream as some can be really greasy or sticky and too quick drying.

The next product is The One 5-in-1 Wonder Lash Mascara by Oriflame. It lifts, curls, volumises, lengthens and separates.

I'm running low on my Maybelline X Gigi Hadid mascara and everytime I use the Barry M Lash Vegas 2, I keep getting super itchy eyes so I'm glad I have received a mascara as I now needed a new one to use.

And another product which I absolutely love is the Cheek Shell Brush by Inuwet. It says with short bristles, it's perfect for precision contouring, bronzing and highlighting.

I have some brushes like this one that are shaped like fishes and I've been meaning to blog and film using them to see how well they work so I'm definitely going to make sure I do that and include this brush as well.

The last main product is some Enamel Science Advanced Toothpaste by Regenerate.

This is the first toothpaste of its kind to regenerate enamel and reverse the early erosion process. The ingredients form a fresh supply of enamel minerals, which wrap around your teeth.

And an extra treat that came in the box is a sachet of Duo Defence Sun Lotion by Hawaiian Tropic.

This sun lotion contains an anti-pollution layer for duo defence. It's infused with green tea extracts, mango, guava, papaya, and passion fruit.

I'm needing to buy a better spf sun lotion so when we have a hot day again, I will definitely try this sachet out and purchase if I think it's for me.

Below is the product list with the Rrp and the size of the products in the box.


1. Sea Water Hair Spray - Senhor Do Bonfim - Rrp £16 (FULL SIZE)

2. La Source Hand Therapy - Crabtree & Evelyn - Rrp £8 (FULL SIZE)

3. The One 5-in-1 Wonder Lash Mascara - Oriflame - Rrp £9 (FULL SIZE)

4. Cheek Shell Brush - Inuwet - Rrp £13.20 (FULL SIZE)

**Extra Treat** Duo Defence Sun Lotion Spf 30 - Hawaiian Tropic - Rrp £14.99 180ml (SACHET 7.4ML)

I really like this box again. Apart from one product, I'm interested in trying out all of the others. I'm impressed that there are four full sized products and it's nice to have an extra something included in the box.

If you are subscribed to Glossybox, let me know what you think of this month's box. Are you impressed? Do you hate it?

GLOSSYBOX UNBOXING - LIMITED EDITION VEGAN BOX

Hey guys,

I'm back.

I have missed blogging so much. I feel like I haven't written anything in forever.

I'm actually away at the moment but had to return back home briefly for a job interview so I just had to pick up my Glossybox and take it back with me so I could blog about it. Hehehe.

And I'm so excited to let you know what's inside.

So every month I write a blog post on them and let you know all about it. And like every blog post I always give some information about Glossybox for anybody who may be new to my blog (hello) and hasn't heard of Glossybox before.

So Glossybox is a beauty subscription where you pay a monthly fee and get a beauty box which usually consists of skincare, hair, and makeup items. The box costs £10 with £3.25 postage and there are different subscription packages you can choose from. I usually find you get three full sized products and the other two being travel size. You get five products in total basically.

This box is slightly different as this isn't a monthly box (I'm still waiting for July's box) but a limited edition box. You pay slightly more but usually get more products and the box is always geared towards something. For example, Glossybox has had a Nars limited edition box. They're not a recurring thing if you know what I mean.

Anyway, in this box you get a total of ten products and all are vegan with the box being a vegan friendly one.

This is the little booklet that came in the box. This shows all of the products and gives a small brief description about them too.

You can also see their RRP as well.

In the box, you get the Tattoo Eyeliner by Kat Von D. It says this highly pigmented, 24 hour wear formula is waterproof and transfer resistant.

So, if you've read some of my other blog posts you'll know I've mentioned that I'm not very good at using eyeliner. I have been practising lately though and use an eyeliner that I received back in one of my previous Glossybox's. It is the Steve Laurent one and I'm really enjoying using it. I find it's really good to practice with as it doesn't bleed and you get a good pigment from it.

And although I haven't used a Kat Von D product before I don't plan to either due to the controversy surrounding Kat Von D herself. If you want to find out more just google Kat Von D controversy and you'll get all the information you need. It's completely a choice to support a brand or not but for me I have no plan to buy any of her products and support her.

I'll probably give this away.

Onto another product, is some matcha tea by Pure Chimp. This tea is specially grown matcha green tea leaves and are carefully ground so you can consume their natural goodness. Filled with antioxidants, they will boost your metabolism and improve your concentration. I love tea and haven't really explored other teas like green tea, spice tea, etc, so I don't mind trying these out as I probably wouldn't go out of my way to buy them to try myself.

This product is a natural, anti frizz serum and will come charging to the rescue to smooth and hydrate. Packed with argan oil, sweet almond oil and free from all nasties, it's perfect for taming uruly hair. I have so many hair care products at the moment to try out so I think I'll be having a sort through them and giving some away as I know I can't try all of them out.

The fourth product is an eye shading brush by So Eco. This makeup brush is made from sustainable bamboo, recycled aluminium, and cruelty free bristles. I don't have very many good eye brushes so I'm glad to have another one to use.

And another product is a Lip Fudge Plumping Lip Conditioner in Rosewood by Tropic Skincare.  Bursting with nutritious, exotic ingredients, this velvety, mint and vanilla scented balm is bursting with 26 lip loving plant extracts. The mango wax and vitamins help to plump, smooth fine lines, repair and protect. My lips have been really dehydrated lately due to the heatwave we have been having so I'm always open to trying new lip products out.

The sixth product is a Head & Hair Heal Masque by Maria Nila. This masque promotes a healthy scalp and stronger shinier hair. Like I said above I have loads of new hair care products to try and have a hair masque so I won't try both of them. I'll end up giving one away again.

I'm super excited to try this product out. The Vitamin E Super Hydrating Cream by Dr Organic. It says this organic moisturiser is packed with vitamin E. Aloe Vera, shea butter, cocoa butter, sweet almond oil and antioxidant. This can be used on your face and body and is good for scars, stretch marks, and mature skin.

You also receive a shampoo in this box. It's a Hydrate Shampoo. It contains aloe and natural ingredients to cleanse and moisturise your hair. It's pH balanced, free from damaging salts and sulphates and will leave your hair feeling silky soft. I have really long thick hair so I never mind trying out new shampoo and conditioners, especially when some can be expensive if you're trying them out for the first time.

Like most women, I have some cellulite so I was excited to see Birch Cellulite Oil in this box by Weleda. It says this zesty, natural treatment that's formulated to firm, smooth and tone your skin. It's made with organic birch leaf extract, plus the nourishing plant oils of apricot, wheat germ and jojoba. I definitely don't believe this gets rid of cellulite (Exercising and toning will help more in my opinion) but if it at least helps reduce the appearance of cellulite somewhat then it's definitely worth trying out.

And the final product is the Lemon and Lime Foaming Shower Gel by Original Source. It's packed with 100 percent natural fragrances and natural oils. This gel turns into foam as soon as it leaves the bottle. I've tried shower gel from Original Source before and really liked it so I'm going to like trying this foam one out.

1. Kat Von D - Tattoo Eyeliner - Rrp £17 for full size 0.55ml. (TRAVEL SIZE) Rrp £6.18 0.2ml

2. Pure Chimp - Matcha Tea - Rrp £4.95 20g pouch (FULL SIZE)

So I'm really impressed with this limited edition box and I really am going to look forward to trying some of these products out.
