GlossyBox August 2017

August 2017 GlossyBox

August 2017 GlossyBox

For those of you that aren’t aware of what GlossyBox is, it’s a subscription box and each month, you get a diverse selection of 5 beauty treats that includes niche, high-end and emerging brands. The products are quite often full size or deluxe samples, it is a great way of discovering new brands and getting a beauty treat right to your door each month.

So the August GlossyBox* is a collectors edition and it’s a beauty, the packaging is a sweet blue colour and has the text Girls Just Wanna Have Sun. As you may have guessed, the August theme is Summer and I’m impressed with the contents as you get 3 full-sized products. I also like that the products included are not your typical Summer options and I’m excited to try everything.

Girls Just Want to-have Sun August Glossybox

Essence live laugh celebrate palette

Essence Essence Live Laugh Celebrate Palette

Long time readers of my blog will know I can’t say enough good things about this brand, Essence for me are the best affordable brand out there, their products are fantastic quality and their range is entirely Vegan. The most exciting product in this months box (for me) is the new Live Laugh Love Palette. This is a 4 pan customisable palette and you can add your eyeshadows, highlighters and blushers to make your own perfect palette. So with the August GlossyBox you get the empty palette and 2 eyeshadow shades, a highlighter and a cute blusher so you can create a complete look.

The pans click in & out with a practical click-mechanism so you can interchange them depending on your mood / needs. The packaging is beautiful and fun, it feels very sturdy and you have 20 eyeshadows, 3 blushers and 3 lip powders. With the palette and each pan costing only £1.50 each you can make yourself a very affordable palette full of your favourite shades.

Essence Live Laugh Celebrate Eyeshadow Palette

Model Launcher Cosmetics Safari Sun Bronzer £16.50

What Summer makeup bag is complete without that perfect bronzer? I have never heard of this brand before but I’m loving the animal print look, it is so fun. This bronzer adds just enough warmth to the skin to give you that sun-kissed beach vibe and it is talc free and mineral enriched so perfect for even the most sensitive of skins. With this kind of multi tonal product I just swirl my brush across all shades ensuring I get a little of each colour then sweep it on where the sun would naturally hit.

Valquer Ice Hair Mask £14.99

Often when we are on holiday our hair suffers the brunt of its drying effects so I am happy to see a hair mask in this months box – got to keep our hair looking glossy and healthy. This hair mask is for use on damp hair leaving it to work its magic for 3 – 5 minutes then rinse with warm water (easy peasy). This energizing mask has a cooling effect which is ideal for Summer and it is also enriched with macadamia oil to hydrate and tame your dry holiday hair. I have never tried this brand but I do like a good hair mask so this is coming on holiday with me for sure.

GlossyBox Spoiler August 2017

Batiste Dry Shampoo & Conditioner Orange and Pomegranate £4.49

This isn’t your average dry shampoo – nope, Batiste have created a 2 in 1 Dry Shampoo & Conditioner which they say will refresh your roots and condition the lengths. I am an almost daily dry shampoo user so I’m intrigued to see what difference the conditioner makes to how soft and clean my hair feels. The scent of this is 100% Summer in a can, it is so fruity and sweet.  This is just a mini can but they’re always very handy to take with you in your handbag or on holiday.

Rodial Suede Lips

Rodial Suede Lips £22

I’m very partial to a lip crayon, they are my ideal no fuss lip option. This Rodial one is in the shade Big Apple and has a matte finish but don’t panic, thanks to the vitamin E in the formula it isn’t at all drying. I have to say although I really like this product, I wouldn’t say it is your typical Summer shade. It is quite a deep mauve brown and I feel it is more of an Autumnal shade, so I might just keep it for my Autumn makeup switch up.

Whats in the August 2017 GlossyBox

So all in all I am over the moon with this months box, it has some well-known brands included as well as a couple that are new to me. It is not often that I’m excited about every product but I’m actually going to use all 5 beauty products from this box and not pass anything on to family or friends. So if you want this months box you best be quick as I think it will be a popular one.

I urge you to test this out and let me know if you like it as much as I do.

Christmas Birchtree Birchbox by Bloom and Wild

Your 5 Birchbox samples come with pretty red ribbons all ready to hang on your birch tree. It was quite fun to get creative and decorate my tree although I don’t think I’ll be able to resist not using my products so they won’t be on the tree too long. I will, however, be replacing the beauty products with some festive baubles and putting it in my hallway, you must remember to care for your tree and water it every week so it stays lush and green right up until Christmas.

October Tili Beauty Box

This is the Try it Love it (Tili) Beauty Box from QVC and before you ask if there is really room for another beauty box on the market – just take a look at the contents! Its jam-packed full of luxurious, current, must have beauty products.

So October saw the release of the Tili Beauty Box Second Edition and once again they’ve managed to include some big name brands like Tarte, NIOD, OPI and Caudalie. The contents have a value of £99 but retails at £20 including p&p, so you’re getting a fantastic deal. I thought their first box was going to be hard to follow-up but they have knocked it out of the park, these Tili boxes feel like they’re been carefully curated and I’m very excited to try everything.

QVC Tili October Beauty Box Spoiler

In your box:

  • 1 x Percy & Reed Abundantly Bouncy Volumising Mousse (200ml) – with a formula created to stay light and feel natural thanks to its creamy moisturising texture, this mousse is designed to give your hair extreme, lasting volume, without a sticky or stiff feel
  • 1 x NIOD Multi-Molecular Hyaluronic Complex (15ml) – this advanced serum combines 12 forms of hyaluronic compounds in a peptide-charged delivery system to offer visible hydration, helping to plump and even out the appearance of your complexion and leave it feeling comfortable and smooth

New Tili Beauty Box

You get 8 products in this months box and they’re a good mix of skincare, haircare and makeup and I have to say I’m really impressed with the contents. I’m particularly excited to try the Tarte Mascara, NIOD Multi-Molecular Hyaluronic Complex and the beautiful OPI Nail Polish. Quite often with beauty boxes there are a few dud products or foil packets but it seems with Tili you get top named, good quality brands and a mix of full size products and generous deluxe samples.

These boxes sell out quite quickly so don’t hang about!
