July 2015 Glossybox

Another month has passed and it's Glossybox time again! This month's box has a French theme to it and I absolutely love the box designed by Jamie Lee Reardin. The box contains 4 French skin care items which you may be familiar with and a cute little bag to pop them all in.
 

Noxidoxi Enhancing Serum Base - Full Size £33.46
This was the first item that I tried underneath my moisturiser as suggested. I love that this doesn't really have a scent as I'm not a fan of using scented products on my face. It's supposed to moisturise the deeper layers of your skin but if I'm honest I am yet to see any drastic improvements.

Lollipops Lip Balm - Full Size £4.15
This tastes delicious, like candy floss and sweets all rolled into this little tube. I don't tend to use lip balms very often but this is a great handbag essential. I own an eyeliner from this range, also from Glossybox. I love that this protects lips from U.V damage, perfect for the weather we have been having lately.

Teoxane Cosmeceuticals Perfect Skin Refiner - Full Size £70
I've never heard of this brand before, and the full sized version of this item is way out of my price range. I was a bit weary of trying this as I have had bad experiences in the past with acid peels. This states that you may experience some tingling but I didn't notice this. This feels really warm when rubbed into the skin and I love how soft my skin felt after using this.

Vichy Aqualia Thermal Light Cream - Full Size £31
I have received a few Vichy products in the past from previous Glossyboxes so I was excited to try this out. This cream is lightweight and lightly scented. It is very cooling on the skin and left me feeling refreshed and hydrated. I popped this on under my foundation and it left my soft and kept my make up in place.

Glossybox Exclusive Travel Pouch - £3.99
The products all came in this little clear make-up bag with super cute design by fashion illustrator Jamie Lee Reardin. It's a bit small for every day use, but can see this being a great little pouch to take on holiday or pop in your handbag.

November 2014 Glossybox

This month’s Glossybox didn’t give me the WOW factor but I’m anticipating a good Christmas edition so for now I am going to stay subscribed and hope that next month’s is a bit more exciting! Please link me your Glossybox posts, I love seeing what other people have got.

Lollipops Make Up – Eye Pencil

I knew that this would be in my box this month due to the spoilers we received last month, and was happy to see a full sized item in my box, worth €14. I’ve recently lost my black eyeliner so this has soon replaced it. I personally think all black eyeliners are the same whether I spend £1 or £5, they all seem to last the same on me. I like that this is retractable, and I also really like the packaging, it feels quite sleek. This also smudges out really well so will be perfect for creating a smoky eye. 

 

Burt’s Bees Lip Shine

I received another  full sized item worth £6.99. I’ve never used anything from Burt’s Bees before but liked the sound of this. I got this in the shade smooch. Apart from being a bit sticky, I quite like the subtle colour of this product when applied to the lips. I'm not a huge fan of the 'taste' or scent of this, it reminds me of those free lip glosses you used to get in magazines back in the day, but I'll keep using this.

H20+ Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment

I have never heard of this brand before, but decided to give it a try. This gel aims to provide deep hydration and reduce the appearance of fine lines. I can't say that I experienced much in the moisture department but I loved the soothing cooling feeling this gave my skin. The texture reminded me of Aloe Vera after sun. I'll use this up until it's gone but at the moment I am yet to see any changes.

Monu Skincare – Refining Capri Facial Oil

I own about a million Monu products, all from glossybox so every time I see this packaging in my glossybox I feel a sense of familiarisation as I know these products work for me. This facial oil aims to balance oily skin and de-congest pores to ensure breakouts remain a thing of the past. I don’t have particularly oily skin or get regular breakouts so I was a bit dubious about trying this in case my face became a bit too oily. I decided to use this as a night treatment before bed but I haven't yet seen any major results.

OGX – Argan Oil of Morocco Shampoo

A great sized sample (which I immediately put into my gym bag). I have seen this brand around but I haven’t tried the products. I actually really like this shampoo, it did make my hair feel really soft and shiny and I wish I had the conditioner to go with it. I noticed the differences after using this about 3 times and I'm near to the end of my bottle so this may be a possible repurchase!

This month’s box also contained a spoiler for the December box – a cheek and lip stain from Bellápierre worth £12.99. To be honest, I’m not overly impressed.
