The August Glossybox is a celebration of Glossbox's third birthday. To celebrate such Glossybox has not only thrown in an extra product but it has given it's signature box a slight make over.
You will see from the picture above on the left is the new box whereas the box on the right is the signature style. Normally the box is pastel pink and glossy throughout - signifying the title "glossybox" whereas this month the box is matte texture and slightly smaller, the logo is also larger. I am not sure if this is a permenant change or a special edition in light of their anniversary; either way I am actually fond of the beautiful matte finish although, it is kind of contradicting the logo name and idea.
Differences aside. The above picture shows what came in this months glossybox, overall a nice little treat although unfortunately for glossybox I have seen many subscribers unhappy, yeah ok it's not the best box and considering it's a birthday special it is nothing to shout about. However, for the price and element of surprise I quite like this box and it's contents.
As previously mentioned the box included 6 products this month as oppose to 5. Every month Glossybox include a sneak peak product where they alerts their subscribers of one product that will be included in the box for everyone; this month it was the Philip Kingsley Elasticizer.
Philip Kingsley Elasticizer, Full Size £38/250ml
Surprisingly I have never heard of this product. Boasting it's creation to Audrey Hepburn, this pre shampoo treatment is designed to give your hair elasticity, bounce and shine without weighing it down. A lovely little sampler, considering the price of this product I look forward to testing it out.
Kryolan for GLOSSYBOX, Full Size £12.95/4.5g
You can see from the picture above the beautiful creamy highlighter that has been designed by Kryolan specifically for this months glossybox.
The highlighter itself is very lightweight and full sized, it offers a subtle glow complementing any skin tone. I can defiantly see myself reaching for this adorable little pot in the future.
Figs & Rouge, Mini Hand Cream, Full Size £6.95/80ml
I love a good hand cream and this one does not disappoint. Not only does it smell absolutely delightful but it is enriched with Shea Butter, leaving your hands soft, nourished and ultimately pampered after every use.
I'll be sure to add this beauty into my handbag, even if it's just to smell!
YVES ROCHER, Pink Nail Polish, Full Size £3.60/3ml
This little pot of joy was the 6th birthday bonus product in this months box.
The color itself is a beautiful natural pink tone, it was completely opaque after one coat and glided on nicely. The only issue I had with this was the look it have once dried, you'll see from the image below it gives off a matte, kind of bubbly look - however I will note I did not apply a top coat.
ESSENCE, I Love Extreme Crazy Volume Mascara, £2.79/12ml
I have only recently noticed the brand essence and that is thanks to wilkinsons. However, I do not own any of their products so I was very excited to give this a go.
All negatives aside it is a nice little bonus in the box, the brand itself is also very affordable. It's not the worse mascara I have ever tried!
LALIQUE L'Amour - Full Size £67/50ml
Glossybox treated us this month to a lovely little sample of the L'Amour perfume.
It has a lovely fresh floral scent, it's a little strong to start with but once it has settled - Goregous! Nice little sample to explore, based on the price I don't think I will be saving for this. A little gem all the same.
A nice box this month, defiantly something to compliment Glossybox on their third anniversary. The box also came with a few coupon codes so that's something extra with this box!
Nice!
