July Glossybox Unboxing

Whether you're jetting off on an exotic holiday or enjoying a short stay-cation with the girls, the "Hello Summer" July Glossybox contains a combination of products & accessories perfect for the summer months. 

Products: 
Spectrum Fan Brush - £4.99 [x]

CuteBalms Macaroon Tint Balm - £5.99 [x]

Bellapierre Banana Setting Powder - £25.00 [x]

Papangas Spiral Hairbands - £4.99 [x]

Monuspa Soothing Aftersun Lotion - £19.95 [x]

Besides the gorgeous Summer-themed box (I didn't realise it was possible to love the Glossybox packaging more) the first item to catch my eye this month had to be Spectrum's Fan Brush. I've been looking to test a fan brush for sometime now, so I can't wait to see how this works with applying highlighter and loose powder.

I was also pretty happy to find the Monuspa Soothing Aftersun Lotion. Packed with Aloe Vera, Shea Butter and Vitamin E I'm hoping this will be a life-saver if (when) my shoulders start to turn a little pink after sitting in the sun this year.

The only product I was a little uncertain about this month was the Cutebalms Macaroon Balm. Although ridiculously cute (who doesn't love a product shaped like a bright pink Macaroon?) I'm not really a big fan of lip balms. However after some research I discovered that the product also doubles as a cheek tint - so I'll be sure to put it to the test & hope it can become a part of my permanent make-up collection.

Have you tried any of the above products?

I'd love to know your thoughts in the comments below.

June's Glossybox Unboxing

My favourite time of the month (after pay day of course) has finally come around again - the delivery of Glossybox. After all there really is nothing better than coming home to a little box of beauty treats to greet you after a long day in the office. 

Contents:
Manna Kadar Glo Illuminator - £22.50
Batiste XXL Volume Spray - £4.29
Black Diamond Peel Off Mask - £4.95 for 3
Himalaya Herbals Face Wash - £3.29
Sleek Power Plump Lip Crayon - £5.50
111 Skin Bright Eye Lift Gel - £110.00

With the weather finally starting to warm up the June Glossybox includes five products to help create an effortlessly chic look this summer.

The first product to catch my eye this month was the Black Diamond peel off charcoal mask. With blackhead removal taking the beauty world by storm I've been looking for a new mask to put to the test for myself (fingers crossed it's not too eye watering!). 

As someone who relies heavily on dry shampoo, I was also very excited to see a full sized bottle of the Batiste "Oomph My Locks" XXL Volume Spray. As well as claiming to provide the "ultimate volume boost" Batiste also claims the product will strengthen and care for hair, bonus!

May Glossybox Unboxing

If there's one thing I look forward too at the beginning of each month, it's the arrival of my beauty subscription box. Whilst I was previously signed up to  receive Birchbox, I recently decided to mix things up a little bit & see just how good Glossybox is.

Box Contents: 

Scrub Love Active Charcoal & Avocado Body Scrub - £13.95 [x]

Caudalie Creme Sorbet - £23.00 [x]
Dr Paw Paw Original Balm - £6.95 [x]
Ruby Powder Blush - £12.80 [x]

Daily Concepts Exfoliating Body Scrubber - £3.85 [x]

For me this box contains the perfect build up to summer products - exfoliators and moisturisers. One particular product I'm very excited to test is one I've seen all over my Instagram feed - the Scrub Love Body Scrub. Claiming to absorb impurities whilst soothing and moisturising, this seems to be the perfect pre-holiday skin treat, especially followed by the Dr Paw Paw Original Balm (which apparently can be used on skin, hair & nails!).  

I'll definitely be putting everything I received this month to use & may even put together a few product reviews to feature here. 

Have you ever used any of the products used in the 

May Glossybox?

Vitamasques' Manuka Honey Sheet Mask

If there's one thing I need to invest in when it comes to skincare, it has to be face masks. Whilst I always have a stock of make-up remover, cleanser & moisturiser, face masks simply aren't something I ever think to purchase. So when I received the Vitamasques' Manuka Honey Sheet Mask in January's Glossybox, I wanted to be sure it was put to good use.

Whilst Vitamasques' is a British company, the Manuka Honey sheet mask is actually inspired by Korean beauty (something I've heard great things about across the blogging community). The mask - containing "triple layer sheet technology" - aims to nourish skin, leaving it feeling moisturised and hydrated. 

I decided to test this mask after a night of wearing full make-up (where a few cocktails may have resulted in me falling asleep before cleansing, oops) to help ensure my skin was left feeling healthy & clean. To use, I simply cleansed my skin before applying the mask to my face. I then let it sit for 20 minutes (as recommended by Vitamasques') before removing & letting the remaining product absorb into my skin. 

The first thing I noticed about this mask was how cool it was to the touch - something I found very refreshing after a night of heavy make-up. I also quickly realised just how much product had been absorbed by the sheet. This then transfers to your skin when removed, leaving a slight wet feeling (something I personally didn't mind as it gave the impression my skin would continue to absorb the treatment, however you can gently pat with a cotton pad if this isn't something you enjoy).

Once the product had been fully absorbed my skin was left feeling soft, hydrated & not at all irritated from a night of pore-clogging make-up. 

Retailing at £12.99 for four (or £3.99 per mask from Glossybox) the Vitamasques' Sheet Mask is a budget friendly beauty treatment. Perfect for those who like to give their skin an extra treat from time-to-time (something I'll definitely be trying to do in the future).

Have you tried this - or any other - products from Vitamasques'?
