GLOSSYBOX June 2014

GLOSSYBOX June 2014 Edition 



Glossybox is a monthly subscription box that for £13.25 (that includes postage) a month a box will be sent to your door filled with 5 products some sample size, others full size. This months edition was the summer edition; here's what was in my box -


As usual the box came in it's beautful pink shade wrapped in black tissue paper and tied with a glossybox bow - here is what it looks like; 


This month I received three full size items and two sample size.

So Susan Cosmetics Universal Blush, 4g/ 0.14 oz- RRP £18 
This product was a spoiler early in June and every subscriber was promised either this blush or the concealer alternative, both by So Susan. I personally have never heard of the brand until this glossybox but judging my retail price I expect good things from this brand.
The blush itself is enriched with Bunti Fruit Oil, fragrance free and not tested on animals - always a moral plus! It is advertised as a blush that nourishes the epidermis, while refocusing redness and even offers UV protection! Nice summer product to have, to enhance color on the cheeks and protect your skin.
Having swatches the blush it has a lot of shimmer so perhaps maybe not something I would wear often and the blush is advertised as having high pigments on the skin? Maybe it's because this shade is light on my skin but I don't agree with that at all, all I see is a high shimmer. I put quite a bit on my hand for you to see below. Furthermore, for an exspensive blush the packaging is very cheap compared to higher ends. 

Rituals ... Qi Ging - Spray 50ml - RRP £3.50 


This is essentially a deodorant, it is described by glossybox as being a 24hour protection spray from perspiration that leaves skin subtle with a summery scent. All I can say is it does smell lovely, floral and summery (infused with white lotus and nourishing yi yi ren) but whether it lasts 24hrs is a different questions. Definitely a good product to try during the summer heats!  

Teeez Trend Cosmetics Beautiful Flat Stiff Brush, €19 = £15.16 


A nice little surprise, you can never have too many brushes! This particular brush is actually made with natural hair and judging my the soft feel you can tell! It is a nice little travel size product that will for in any make up bag, ideally for eye shadow I can see this brush being added to my every day make up bag. 

Nailgirls 3-in-1 base/topcoat & nail strengthener, 10ml - Full Size £13.50


I am very impressed with the sample size of this nail top coat, the full size is only 5ml bigger than the sample - great! It is described as providing a longer lasting top coat that provides for both the perfect base and nail hardener in one. I can't wait to try this out! 

QV Skincare - QV Skin Lotion, 15ml - Full Size 250ml at £6.06 

Following the nail varnish this is a tiny sample, but a sample netherless. I was a little disappointed to receive this product that is discribed as a moisturiser for dry skin relief - a problem I don't suffer from personally. Therefore this will be a nice little gift to a friend of mine! 


So that's everything this month, overall I'm satisfied, not overwhelmed but what do you expect for a little over a tenner a month! A nice little selection of goodies to try this month.
