What's Inside The August 2013 GlossyBox
August's Glossybox theme is High Flyers - Bringing you all you need to be a flawless high flyer. Inside the box are selected skincare, hair and makeup heroes from around the globe.
So what was inside mine
USA - Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Noir 1.5ml Sample size (full 100ml £63)
The description
Viva La Juicy highlights the succulent ripe berry notes and gourmand accents, while adding a juicy touch of honeysuckle and a sultry hint of sandalwood.
My thoughts - This is quite nice and fruity but not overly sweet so I would use this but this isn't quite my taste so I wouldn't be going out to purchase a full size bottle.
Brazil - Oceane MakeUp Remover Pen (not available in UK)
The description
This pen delivers a mobile, mess and fuss free makeup touch-up/removal solution.
My thoughts
I am not too bothered about this product but I will probably try it when I am using a red lipstick as I do get into some mess when applying!! Could be quite innovative.
Sweden - Emite Make Up Eyelash Curler (£20)
This has a special curved design to suit all eye shapes without touching your makeup base. I have never used an eyelash curler and am unlikely to so am not able to say if this is any good.
UK - Jelly Pong Pong 2-in1 Shadow/Liner (full size £10.50)
The description
This creamy crayon can be used to line the eye as well as smudged and blended as a shadow.
My thoughts
The shade in my box was a nice deep, dark green. I will use this and it did feel nice when I swatched it across my skin. It didn't pull at all.
USA Tresemme Platinum Strength Concentrated Treatment Shot (15ml £1.49)
The description
In sixty seconds will transform frizzy, fried hair into beach goddess worthy hair.
My thoughts
A nice quick treatment product, looking forward to seeing if it lives up to its claims!
Final thoughts
After last month's great box I think this month's box was rather disappointing. I wasn't that excited when I opened the box and to be honest I haven't been tempted to use anything as of yet. However, value wise this does tick the boxes.
*PR Sample
Glad to see the boxes haven't got any better in the six months since I cancelled my subscription!
ReplyDeleteSurprised you're not an eyelash curler fan - I couldn't live without mine!
No never used them!! I always had really sensitive eyes for years where if I put anything near them they would water. Hence I didn't wear eyeliner until recently.
DeleteI Wasn't impressed either :-(
ReplyDelete:-( Your box was a little different from mine as well
DeleteI do quite like the Juicy perfume. Like you though doubt I will wear it every day but it is better than what I expected!
