Unboxing August birthday Glossybox

Unboxing August birthday Glossybox

26th August 2020 0 By Rachael Stray

My August birthday Glossybox was delayed a little but I think the wait was worth it.

This month’s Glossybox is an extra special one because they are celebrating their ninth birthday – happy birthday Glossybox!

 

For those of you who are new to Glossybox it is a monthly beauty box subscription that is delivered right to your door. Details of how to sign up for yourself are at the end of this post. If you use my referral link you will receive 20% off your first box.


What was inside August’s birthday Glossybox?


Huda Beauty
Demi Matte Cream Lipstick (RRP £18)

This full-size Lip Strobe from Huda Beauty on its own is worth £18. There are ten different shades. I received a really dark pink almost purple, quite vampy shade in mine.

This creamy lippy boasts a luscious, highly-pigmented formula that glides effortlessly onto your lips, adding an intense shot of colour. It then dries to a satin finish, creating a sheen on your lips that enhances their natural shape. 

Glossybox Eye Boost Cream (RRP £20)

Part of the larger range of the newly launched Glossybox Skincare products, this eye cream is lightweight and a fast-absorbing formula.

It helps to reduce the appearance of dark circles, refresh tired and puffy eyes and lock in moisture – can’t wait to try this out. It’s cruelty-free, suitable for vegans and comes packaged in a recyclable sugarcane tube.


Brushworks HD Wonder Complexion Sponge
 (RRP £5.49)

For a flawless finish every time, apply your favourite foundation with this HD Wonder Complexion Sponge from Brushworks. You can also use it apply cream concealers, contours and highlighters and the different sides of the sponge allow you to blend everything effortlessly. I’m looking forward to giving this a go as I’ve never used a sponge.


Molton Brown Delicious Rhubarb & Rose Bath & Shower Gel
 (deluxe mini)

Next up, a deluxe mini of Molton Brown Delicious Rhubarb & Rose Bath & Shower Gel which has a juicy blend of Rhubarb Leaf, Rose and zesty Grapefruit – perfect for summer and holidays! I’ll be using this for my next bubble bath self care time!

Steve Laurant Vogue Lip Liner (RRP £12.09)

Finally, the last product is a full-size Steve Laurant Vogue Lip Liner. It has a waterproof formula that’s also transfer-resistant so you can party all night long and still look fabulous. This is the one product in this box which I will probably pass on.

I hope we receive more products form the newly launched Glossybox Skincare range as I’d like to try them out. Overall I really like this months box.
