Glossybox: August 2013

Highflyers

I just recently subscribed to Glossybox and thought it would make a great monthly feature in this blog, so each month I will show you what products I got and I may review some of the products when I have had a chance to use them. If you don't know what Glossybox is, it is basically a subscription service where you pay £10.00 a month plus postage and you receive a pretty box with 5 beauty samples. What's not to love?

This month's box is based around cult/hero products from different countries so I am going to start with the UKs entry!

Jelly Pong Pong.

This was a 2-in-1 Eye Liner and Shadow duo pencil which is worth £10.50. What I loved about this was the fact that it was hard enough to be used as a liner either in the waterline or along the lashline, but also soft enough to be blended out into a shadow. I have a lot of "shadow pencils" that are great as a base but to have something that is 2-in-1 is great for my already Mary Poppins like bag!  www.jellypongpong.com

USAs entry

1-Juicy Couture

There was a little fragrance vial (63.00 for 100 ml) for this one and it smells devine! I have never really been drawn to this brand before but this is a very sweet fruity fragrance that lasts pretty long. I don't need any more perfumes (and it's pretty damn expensive!) so I won't be buying the full size but this little sample is great for popping in your bag for nights out! www.debenhams.com/beauty/juicy-couture

2-Philosophy

I was so happy to see this in my box. The Purity Made Simple cleanser (£17.50 for 240ml) is something I have been eyeing up for a while after hearing a lot of great reviews on it. This claims to be a 3-in-1 deep cleanser that removes makeup and tones the skin. I used it the night I got it to remove my makeup, I wasn't wearing much but I felt that I had to go in with my micellar water to remove the excess! Saying that I did enjoy using it, it felt lovely and I could tell the next day that it was a good product so I think I will reserve this for my day cleansing. This also came with a £5 off voucher that can be used against the full size product at any Debenhams Philosophy counter, which is great if I really like it! www.philosophyskincare.co.uk

Swedens Entry!

I was really surprised to see these Emite Make Up Eyelash Curlers, they are worth approximately  £20.00 and come with 3 rubber bases. I haven't had a chance to properly test these out but they look really good. www.emitemakeup.com

Last but not least,

Bazils entry

The Óceana Makeup Remover Pen. When I first saw this I thought "why not just use a cotton buds and makeup remover?". Then I realised that I don't know anyone that carries cotton buds and makeup remover with them on a daily basis. So this is a great little product that can be used when your mascara or eyeliner smudges! Unfortunately this isn't yet available in the UK but here's the link to the website where you can be updated! www.oceane.com.br

I hope you enjoyed this, do you get Glossybox, what did you think of this box? If not are you tempted to get one each month?

Thanks for reading! :)
