August Dollibox - Poolside Glamour

Dollibox is a new online subscription service for UK based beauty lovers and I have featured a past box here. With a Dollibox subscription you'’ll receive five personalised beauty samples, sometimes full-sized every month, tailored to your beauty profile. Your beauty profile consists of some quite specific questions to answer such as where you get your beauty news from, what do you splurge on and how comfortable you are applying make-up. There are also questions about hair and eye colour as well as ethnicity and it takes just a couple of minutes to complete and the content of each box you receive will be based on this profile.

The August Dollibox arrived last week and it is all about Poolside Glamour and it is designed to give you everything you need to look and smell good all summer long.

Skintruth Afterdark Age Defy Moisturiser

Skintruth is a brand that I have never come across before, so it was a nice surprise inside the box. The product is called Afterdark Age Defy Moisturiser and it is an intensive night moisturiser formulated with Rose to replenish and hydrate skin whilst you are sleeping. Infused with Goji Berry a rich antioxidant renowned for anti aging properties, this moisturiser is ideal for mature skin types. You can get this moisturiser from Sally Express for £13.99.

Schwarzkopf Liquid Oil Conditioner

Described a being an indulgent leave-in formula combines an oil phase, which gives hair radiance, shine and suppleness, with a care phase, which repairs and detangles the hair beautifully. Hair is made instantly bouncy and vital, with improved manageability from static and frizz. The light, non-burdening conditioner seals the surface of the hair to lock moisture in, and provides a perfectly polished look. The Oil has an rrp £12.95 and is available on Escentual.

Girl Meet Brush Cosmetic Brush

I am already a fan of the bran Girl Meets Brush. If you have never come across them before, all the brushes are vegan friendly and cruelty free! Each brush is made with soft fibres and they are packaged in a sleek black handle with matching bristles. There are four different brushes in this months box; the Foundation Brush, the Blending Pencil Brush, the Highlighter Brush and the Eyeshadow Blending Brush which I have. You can find the brushes right here and they retail for around £6.95 upwards.

The Herb Garden Massage Bar

The Herb Garden is another brand I have never come across but how cute is the packaging? Inside the box wrapped neatly inside some purple tissue paper is a cute little mini massage bar which smells just divine. The relaxing massage bar uses soothing chamomile and lavender alongside shea butter, almond oil and Vitamin E oil to create heaven in a little bundle. One the skin, it melts on contact, as long as your hands are warm and it is just a delight to use.  You can find out more information on this massage bar and other products from within the range right here.

Dreamy Handmade Bath & Skincare Bath Bomb

The last item in the box is this cute and delightfully scented bath bomb from Dreamy Handmade Bath & Skincare. Again, not a brand I am familiar with at all but it is an all natural, organic and vegan friendly bath bomb which is handmade. I have Vanilla and Sandalwood Luxury Bathbomb which is decorated with poppy seeds and also uses Almond oil, Mango butter, Vitamin E. Found on Etsy right here there are quite a few products within the range.

This month's box is worth around £33 which is really good value for money. I really have enjoyed this box, it has a lovely range of products inside and it is another great way to meet and be introduced to brands that you might not be too familiar with.

To subscribe Dollibox has a choice of three different subscription options right now and they start from just £10 per month - www.dollibox.co.uk

Dollibox - Beauty delivered to your door!

Dollibox is a new online subscription service for UK based beauty lovers. With a Dollibox subscription you'll receive five personalised beauty samples, sometimes full-sized every month, tailored to your beauty profile.  Your beauty profile consists of some quite specific questions to answer such as where you get your beauty news from, what do you splurge on and how comfortable you are applying make-up.  There are also questions about hair and eye colour as well as ethnicity and it takes just a couple of minutes to complete and the content of each box you receive will be based on this profile.

I was kindly gifted a Dollibox to review and one thing that has impressed me is that nowhere on the website will you find a clue, a hint or any tips as to what is in your box, it will be a total surprise. The only thing you can learn, if you are interested, is the contents of the previous months box.  This is my box:

Eye Candy Eyelashes £4.99

These are volumise lashes which claim to give thicker and fuller lashes.  They require an adhesive to apply, which is included within the package.

Freemans Feeling Beautiful Clay Masks £1.50

There are two different masks within this box and both are free from parabens. The first clay mask contains Avocado and Oatmeal which claims to purge your pores and is described as being a mask to nourish and purify using rich clays to dive deep into the skin to purge dirt and oils from pores It uses nutrient-rich Vitamin E, Avocado and Oatmeal moisturize for lasting skin softness and it is perfect for normal to combination skin.

The second mask is a facial purifying clay mask with acai which is powered by an 8-antioxidant blend of Acai, Blueberry, Cranberry, Goji, Mango, Mangosteen, Noni, and Pomegranate to neutralize environmental damage. Super oil-absorbent clays draw impurities from skin and clean out clogged pores. Perfect for all skin types.

Little Ondine Nail Polish £8.40-£11

Little Ondine is a natural nail polish, it contains just three ingredients - water, resin and colourant. It has no chemical smell and you can peel it off if you get bored of the colour. They are also Cruelty-free, Preservative-free, Pregnancy friendly, Fragrance-free and are Vegan. I have shade Mocha Shimmer which is coffee colour with gold flecks and it applies like a dream with a wide brush and a long handle to hold, ive found all you need is just one coat. It dries super quick and leaves no streaks.

Osmo Wonder 10 £2.95 for 25ml

Wonder 10™ is a unique all-in-one spray in Keratin based treatment which is designed to leave the hair feeling softer, silkier and more manageable with a radiant shine. The 10 effects it claims to have are:

• Helps repair dry and damaged hair
• Nourishes and protects for radiant shine
• Thermal protection from styling tools
• Delivers soft, silky, more manageable results
• Contains colour protection complex
• Creates body and movement
• Incredible detangler
• Aids in the prevention of static
• Conditions both natural and synthetic hair
• Smoothes split ends and controls frizz

Designed to be used on damp hair, so perfect for using after washing your hair and before styling.

Tantruth Self-tan lotion £8.99 100ml

I am not the best when it comes to self-tan and do pretty much avoid it. Ive only ever had one spray tan, which I did enjoy, but products like this just don't grab me. That aside, Tantruth is quite an interesting brand, the products are alcohol and paraben free and use Shea Butter and Avocado to leave your skin moisturised and nourished to ensure you achieve that perfect tan.  I am not too sure I will use this as it just isn't me, but it smells absolutely divine!

The final product within this box is Oil Arganic by Tanorganic. £8.99 for 30ml

This is a multi-use dry oil which can be used on your face, body, hair, nails, scars, marks and you can even add it to your bath. It is made with a unique blend of Argan Oil, Borage Seed Oil, Aloe Vera, Orange Peel Oil, Avocado Oil, Coconut Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Jojoba seed oil, Rosehip Fruit Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil, Hempseed Oil & Olive Oil. Used daily it can also extend the life of your tan and it leaves your skin feeling soft, smooth and incredibly moisturised.

I think this is such a cute little box with a really nice mixture of products and there is definitely something for everyone and everything. With hair, eyes, body, face and nails all being taken care of. I also like that each product is of a decent size so that you get more than one use out of it, plenty enough infact to decide whether or not you like it enough to buy a bigger version.

If this sounds like something you wish to try then there are three subscription options and postage and packaging is £3.25 per delivery and it is a tracked package.

• A monthly subscription costs £10 per month (plus P&P). This is a rolling subscription, but you can cancel anytime.
• A 6 month subscription consists of a one-off payment of £54 (plus P&P), which is £9 per box.
• A 12 month subscription consists of a one-off payment of £102 (plus P&P), which is £8.50 per box,

So there you have Dollibox, a cute little box which I have thoroughly enjoyed using to discover some new brands whilst giving myself some little extra pampering.  

What do you think to the box?
