Glossybox: July Festival Edition
Glossybox has been a little bit hit and miss recently, and it feels like forever since I received my last one, but in the post about 40 minutes ago.. this badboy arrived.
My favourite thing by far in this box is the HD Brows Foxy Eyebrows Palette. It was previously used in the boxes about 8 months ago, which I didn't receive. Finally I have it! This palette RRP's at £19.95 and this product is full size. Last month, I also received the HD Brows Tweezers.. fully kitted out!
I've heard of Jelly Pong Pong before - I think they sell it on ASOS, but I've always thought the packaging looks quite cheap and tacky. I think it's mainly because their logo is one of the standard typefaces which you get on like Windows 98 (and I'm really anal about things like that). The product itself on the inside of the horrible tube, is actually okay. It smells really nice, but reminds me of those cheap lip glosses you get in a 50-pack of makeup for Christmas when you're 11 (you know the kind). It claims to be a multifunctional lip and cheek creme gloss - but I'm not convinced. Nice to have as a lipgloss in your handbag, but not worth £10.00 for the full-size. It does look slightly more impressive online though..
I'm excited to use the Clynol Enrich Colour Shampoo (Full size RRP £9.95), mainly because I know they sell it at my hairdressers so can't wait to try it out... and also super excited to use the Monu Golden Glow 3-5 hour natural tan (Full size RRP £23.00). It looks like a luminous yellow moisturiser, but apparently gives a subtle tan. I've used monu products before, so can't wait to give this a go too.
Finally, a selection of skin treatments from Elizabeth Arden. They included a nice size sample of 'Skin Balancing Lotion' (Full sizeRRP £32.99), but also some smaller sachets of cleansers etc. The lotion is targeted at combination skin which is ideal for me, and is also SPF 15. It claims to have 'a visual difference' which is good.. because I'm so impatient.
I think this many be the best box I've received, and can't wait to give these all a go! I think I may do a post on Eyebrow palettes... Benefit VS HD Brows. We'll see.
Who else got the July box?
