GlossyBox June 2017

June marks the start of British summer, and with Glastonbury, Wimbledon and with picnic season upon us, the latest edition from Glossybox, aptly titled #Parklife it features the perfect edit of products to get you prepped.  Summer saviours come in the form of skincare, hair care, hand care and makeup. A real mixture of products to have you looking your best and in my box, I have the following:

Louise Pentland, known to many as SprinkelofGlitter, has written her first novel Wilde Like Me and it is included as a nice little extra within the box. Launching at the end of June, Wilde Like Me introduces you to Robin Wilde, a friend you will make for life and a journey you will never forget! Having read the sneak preview, I am actually really looking forward to the book's release.

111Skin’s Space Defence Bright Eye Lift Gel which reduces the appearance of dark circles, minimise puffiness and softens the appearance of fine lines while keeping the eye area hydrated. 

Formulated with the unique NAC Y2 formula and a combination of copper chlorophyll, caffeine and phytonutrients to stimulate the production of hyaluronic acid, whilst regenerating the skin to give you a rejuvenated, younger-looking appearance.

Sleek Makeup Power Plump Lip Crayon. Sleek is one of my favourite high street brands and the Power Plump Lip Crayons are a really great product. 

Using a formula which makes your lip tingle upon application, it encourages blood to rush to your lips giving that fuller lip look. Tingle aside, the pigmentation of these crayons are really quite something and they can be used to line the lips or as a lip colour on the whole lip.

BeautyPro’s Black Diamond PeelOff Mask with Activated Charcoal. This peel-off mask not only cools and soothes the skin,  but the activated charcoal formula works to loosen blackheads and cleanse deep into the pores to remove impurities while clarifying and purifying the skin and rebalancing oily areas. 

Free of mineral oils, lanolin and petroleum paraben, this peel off mask leaves your skin feeling so fresh and smooth to the touch.

Manna Kadar Sheer Glo. This silky liquid illuminator works to give the skin a pretty gleam. It can mixed with your foundation or moisturiser for a subtle glow. 

You can also apply Sheer Glo on its own to cheekbones, browbones, collarbones, and anywhere else you’d like to catch the light. This is the second product from Manna Kadar that I have tried and like the lip gloss from last months Love Me Beauty Edit (here).

Eness Cosmetics Argan Oil Nourishing Hand Cream. You never can have too many tubes of hand cream and this is one I have never come across before. 

This hand cream is enriched with natural Argan Oil, Abyssinian Oil and Ylang Ylang Oil, for intense moisturisation and nourishment. With no harmful ingredients such as parabens, petroleum, mineral oil or sulphates, this cream is luxuriously thick and smells incredible.

The final item in the box comes from Batiste and it is the Stylist Shield My Locks Heat & Shine Spray to protect hair from even the hottest of styling tools. 

Keratin & Inca Inchi infused it is formulated to be used on dry not damp hair so you can heat style and add a sleek mirror shine finish in a hurry.

January's Glossybox!

It has been a long time coming this month, but here is the January edition of Glossybox! I haven't been all that impressed with Glossybox in the last quarter of the year, some of the products left the mind blogging as to why in earth they would be included and even some of the 'themes' made no sense compared to the accompanying products.

Anyway it is now 2014 and here I am hoping Glossybox have got their act together before I log in and finally hit that cancel button...  Here is the contents of my box:

So back to basics is the topic and subject of the box and Glossybox has had a bit of a make-over.  The box is much pinker than usual and glossier and the ribbon on the inside is a nice touch... but the products this month... well:

Anatomicals Puffy The Eye Bag Slayer Wake-up Under Eye Patches - made me giggle as the name is funny and apparently if you look like a character from The Walking Dead these eye patches should reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and revitalise the delicate area around my eyes.  A full size pack of 3 retails for £6 and in my pack there are two.

Vaseline Essential Moisture Lotion - a non-greasy moisture lotion to keep your skin supple and looking great.  This is a 50ml bottle, nowhere near fullsize (which would cost £4.99) not too chuffed to have this in my box as I am not that much of a fan of Vaseline products personally.

Balance Me Super Toning Body Wash - another 50ml product and one I am happy to see because I am a huge fan of the Balance Me range and this is a product I am yet to try.  Said to have a blend of juniper, bergamot, geranium and lavender essential oils, this body wash is a good way to start your day.

Yu-Be Moisturising Skin Cream - 2 sample tubes with 3g in each.  This product is a multi-use cult moisturising cream from Japan which revamps your skin, enriching it with Vitamin E, Vitmain B2, Camphor and has a uniquely high glycerine content.  Not heard of this before, but will see what it is like once I use it.

The final product, the one I knew would be in the box is this lovely floral design tweezers from The Vintage Cosmetic Company.  You can never have too many pairs of tweezers and these ones are actually quite good and retail for £8 and I believe the only full sized product in the box!

So, erm that is it! What do you think?
