I am a little late opening this months Glossybox as I have been away on holiday, so as soon as I was able to go and collect it from my local sorting office, I suddenly remembered that this was meant to be somewhat of a special box was Glossybox are celebrating their 3rd Birthday and if like me you are a subscriber then there have been no end of hints and spoilers as to what the contents might be. So this is my August Glossybox.

So firstly, the box is different to the others, it looks more squared than the others if that makes sense and inside there is this lovely little card to tell you all about the contents and a little 'Thank You' from Charles Van Abercorn(check name) the Founder and Global CEO. Then there is the nice pink wrapping paper and black ribbon before finally, the contents.
Kryolan for Glossybox- This is a highlighter in shade Cashmere and it is said to be a versatile, lightweight cream with a gloss finish and can be used on cheekbones, lips plus other parts of the skin. This is a full size item with an RRP £12.95
Figs and Rouge Handcream - A mini handcream in Rose Berry which is enriched with shea butter, natural antioxidents and algae extract. Said to nourish and soften the hands and leave them with a pampered feeling. A full size version costs £6.95 for 80ml, this one is 20ml which means it is worth around £1.75.
Yves Rocher Nail Polish - I got shade 14 which is Rose and it is more like a dusky pink, very pretty. As a mini nail polish it has a little brush and I always find them quite difficult to use. This is a full sized bottle at 3ml and has an RRP £3.60
Philip Kingsley Elasticizer - Said to have been originally created for Audrey Hepburn, this pre-shampoo treatment delivers unrivalled elasticity, manageability, bounce and shine without weighing the hair down or coating it. I have another tube of this which I am yet to try, so hopefully it is worth the hype. A full sized version of 250ml costs £38, this one is 40ml and has a value of around £6.35
Comfort Zone Essentials Cleansing Milk - A revitalising, gentle milk cream containing anti-oxidents and hydrating active ingredients to help remove any make-up and pollution residues for radiant, refreshed and softer skin. To be used on dry skin in a morning and evening. A full 250ml version has an RRP £20, this one oddly is 200ml and is therefore has a value of around £16.
The final item is a perfume sample from Lalique and it is called L'Amour. I have never heard of Lalique but the scent is described as being a tribute to timeless romance. An Imperial Japanese prince once invited René Lalique to create four stained glass windows for his Tokyo palace, its dominant motif a majestic female figure in the form of an angel. From her outstretched hands garlands of flowers stream, creating a halo of radiant blossoms akin to the aura of a perfume."Soft and sensual with delicate top notes of rosebuds laces with fresh bergamot, white floral heart notes and a musk base note" well one spritz and it is definitely more floral than musky to me! I quite like it and to purchase it, you would be expected to pay just £94 for 100ml (woah).

So there you have my August Box and as a third birthday box, I think it lacks something exciting and amazing but it is alright and I will use all the contents. Altogether it has a value of around £40!
