Glossybox June 2017
Contains: 7 Items
Costs: £10 plus P&P
This box was absolutely incredible. At first I thought they were all full-size products due to the generous 'tester' sizes. The box actually does contain two full-size products and the other samples are huge tester sizes of very expensive products, meaning this box was worth every penny.
111 Skin
Space Defence Bright Eye Lift Gel - £110
★★★★
What they say: This is one of the most luxurious eye products out there. It does everything you want an eye gel to do; reducing the appearance of dark circles, minimising puffiness and softening the appearance of fine lines, all while keeping the eye area hydrated. Use of ring finger to gently apply it around the orbital bone.
What I say: You can feel how luxurious this is, the only thing I would say it that when it comes to skincare you cannot make a proper judgment from a tester sample.
Sleek Makeup
Power Plump Lip Crayon - Full Size - £5.50
★★★★★
What they say: Nothing is more satisfying than drawing on the perfect lip colour. This pretty shade contains a lip-tingling ingredient that encourages blood to the surface of the lips, making them look plumper.
What I say: This is by far the best lip liner I have ever used - you can feel the tingling and it genuinely makes your lips look huge and plump. The effect lasts for a while as well - I got told well in to a night that I had "bee-stung lips" hours after I had originally applied it and this is with lipstick over it as well! So seriously buy this incredible lip-liner, I shall be buying them in every colour!!
Himalya
Puryifying Neom Face Wash - £3.29
★★★★
What they say: Neem has already been hailed by the health world as a wonder herb, but its anti-bacterial properties make it brilliant at cleansing skin too. Use morning and evening, simply massage It in to damp skin, then rinse it off and par your skin dry.
What I say: It does what it says on the tin but is not something I would rave about. At only £3.29 I would definitely buy again because you do feel clean and fresh when using it, especially as it is made from natural ingredients.
Batiste
Stylist OOMPH My Locks XXL Volume Spray - Full Size - £4.29
★★★★
What they say: The anecdote to boring hair. Whether you want a sky-high style or you require more height at the roots or crown, this creates incredible volume while also nourishing and strengthening your locks thanks to keratin and Inca Inchi oil. Mist lightly onto dry hair and massage in with your fingertips.
What I say:
Smells gorogeus and is the perfect mixture of volume and dry shampoo.
Manna Kadar Cosmetics
Sheer Glo - £22.50
★★★★★
What they say: Who would say no to a little more glow? This is like liquid light when dotted along cheekbones. Or blend it in with your usual foundation for a dewier look.
What I say:
A sample size is provided in this month's box but at 20ml that's a very large product! The glow is amazing yet subtle which is perfect to wear on its own, mixed in to your foundation or as I have been doing, as a base for my power highlighters when I want my highlight to pop. I wish it also came in a champagne colour or a more bronzey tone as a pink highlight, though gorgeous, is sometimes not right for the look I'm going for.
Beauty Pro
Black Diamond - £4.95 for three sachets
★
What they say: With activated charcoal to deep cleanse and balance oil, this mask is a must at least once a week. Apply a thin layer to dry skin and leave it on for 15-20 minutes, then once its dry peel off and rinse with warm water.
What I say: I have to be honest - I was disappointed - it did work but the 'blackheads' on the skin were not impressive, like you would need a microscope to see the same pay-off as those instagram videos would lead you to beleive (and I certainly had blackheads that could have been removed) - my skin felt really soft afterwards, but now weeks later by skin has not been the same. I put a wet flannel on my face afterwards to close my pours but I think they took out more than they should - my pours are huge now and I have bumps all over my skin. Wouldn't recommend!!
