This month's theme was 'Seaside Splash' and is about transforming into the 'ultimate beach babe' with their 'current summer must-haves'. (Hence the seaside packaging)
Product One: Alterna Haircare, Baamboo Style Boho Waves Tousled Texture Mist
25ml Bottle worth £4.60 (Full size 125ml, £23)
With this theme, a texturizing spray was inevitable. True to Glossybox's word, texturising sprays are brilliant to use in summer! I love to use mine when my hair is freshly washed to make it easier to style, or second day hair to really re-invent your 'do. I am excited to see how this works on my hair, though I must admit I'm pretty addicted to using my Charles Worthington, Style Setter Salt Spray 200ml (Boots, £6.99). This product will have to really impress me, in order for me to go out and purchase the full size product. Get it here.
Product Two: Anatomicals, Spray Misty For Me Facial Spritz
Full size product worth £6
As soon as I saw this product I was ecstatic and could not wait to try it out! I'm currently using the Anatomicals, We Never Forget A Face, Memorably Good Daily Moisturiser (ASOS, £4), and am loving how it works on my skin! I've also never really used a facial mist before, but as soon as I spritzed it on my face I loved it! It was thirty degrees outside at the time and WOW did it feel good! As for the long-term benefits I'm not sure yet, but this will definitely be a staple in my handbag throughout Summer from now-on. For stockists search on www.anatomicals.net
Product Three: Coola Organic Suncare Collection, Coola Classic Face SPF 30 Cucumber Moisturiser
7ml Tube worth £3.64 (Full Size 50ml, £25.99)
This month's 'not so wow' product for me. Yes, suncream is a necessity for summer. Yes, I should use it every day. But.. I'm ashamed to say I honestly don't, especially face suncream. I find that it just sits on my face and feels like it is suffocating my skin. I did try the product, and it does smell completely divine but its just not for me. It certainly didn't excite me all that much. However, I did pass it on to my mum who was rather happy at finding a product to use on her face, 'without ridiculously high SPF like all the others'. So we will see how she gets on with it. Though with the full size costing £25.99, I highly doubt she will want to re-purchase it.
Product Four: Sleek Makeup, Pout Paint
2x 8ml Tubes worth £9.98
At first I was really pleased to see something from Sleek in this month's box, as I've wanted to try out some of their products for a while now. However, as I read the back of the tubes I realised that they're meant to be lip stains. Every other stain I have used has worsened my already dry as a bone lips so this made me a bit wary. But, I am sat here wearing the 'Lava' (orange) colour as I type and I am pretty impressed so far. My lips feel sufficiently moisturised and I've got lips which aren't glossy but aren't matte. Just the right texture for my liking. I'm not sure how wearable these colours (I also received 'Pinkini') will be on their own (They're rather bright and I'm a bit of a wuss) but according to my information booklet, they can be mixed to 'create your own unique shade'. So I'm definitely looking forward to trying that out more! Find it at Superdrug.
Product Five: Ciate London, Paint Pot
Full size product worth £9
The colour I was sent (The Glossip) is absolutely gorgeous and I can't wait to see how the colour comes out on my nails, seeing. It is definitely on my to-do list for tonight! I do already own a few Ciate nail polishes so I know how well they live up to the brand hype, and who can resist those cute bows on the bottles? Definitely a must for any nail polish loving girl!
So altogether I do really love this month's Glosssybox and it totalled £33.22! Absolutely amazing! I already can't wait for my next one to arrive!
