GLOSSYBOX summer sale -July box

So, glossybox.co.uk currently have an offer on where you can get the May and the July Glossybox for only £12 (£14.95 including p&p). I've always been a bit meh about getting the normal Glossybox rather than the Miss Glossybox because I think £12.95 a month is pretty steep to say you don't know what you're getting. But its safe to say these boxes have persuaded me to subscribe!

So, this is what the July box looks like. For some reason it shows up more green on here but it's a really deep turqoise colour.. ITS SO PRETTY

Then, when you open it, the magazine leaflet thing is sat on top like "OPEN ME JUST OPEN ME" but you have to sit here like "no leaflet I'm not having any of that sass because I want to be surprised when I see my products okay?" and then it just sits there quietly.
Then, you take the leaflet out to reveal some really darn cute tissue paper with a really cute bow.
Then, you admire this prettyness for approximately 20 seconds before undoing the bow and seeing what you have :D
And for those of you who care I will just tell you everything I got in my box and then I'll work out how much each sample is worth so then I can tell you how much the box was worth compared to what I paid for it :) because we are all boring and money cautious and actually care about that kind of thing..

PRODUCT NUMBER 1
Babmboo Style Boho Waves Tousled Texture Mist

I already have a texture mist that I use so I was all like meh when I picked this up. But then I tried it and HOLY MOTHER OF FISHSTICKS this is so amazing. I'm really rubbish at describing things but you just spray it on and then like shape your hair with your fingers and it just makes your hair look really natural but a pretty kind of natural so everyone will look at you like "whoa that girl must be a goddess because her hair looks beautiful and natural in one.. yep.. she's cool

PRODUCT NUMBER 2

Inecto Pure Coconut Refreshing Dry Shampoo
Glossybox likes their dry shampoos don't they? I've actually nearly used up the dry shampoos I have so this is good for me because it will save me buying another for a while. It's full size too so I will actually be able to properly try the product and with going back to school, there is a desperate need for the magic of dry shampooyness. Plus, it's supposed to smell of coconuts... I like the smell of coconuts.. SO YEAH WOO

PRODUCT NUMBER 3

Paint pot
No not real paint you silly! Nail varnish! Mine's like a bright orange with lots of glitter in it.. I like glitter but in nail varnishes it can stick to your nails for ages after you've removed it.. so I'm not too sure about it but I'll give it a whirl because orange is my second favourite colour in the world. And this is a full size and it's worth like £9 and the most expensive nail varnish I currently own is worth £3.99 so it shall be nice to compare :)

PRODUCT NUMBER 4

Coola Mineral Face SPF29 Unscented
Firstly, I've heard face SPFs raved about so much because it's suncream for your face so it's not as thick and horrid and yucky so I'm glad I have one. Secondly, it's unscented! I hate putting scented things on my face so yeah, excited! But the bad side is is that summer is nearly over and the heat wave has gone :( But I guess if I don't get chance to use it this year then I can save it for next year :)

PRODUCT NUMBER 5

Face Oil for Glowing Radiance
I have dry skin so yay, this may make my skin nicer.. But I'm a bit scared of putting oils on my face incase it's going to break me out..I'll probably just test this out on a small area of my face first and then see how it works and then maybe try it on the rest of my face




So, that's everything that was in my (July) Glossybox! I'm extremely pleased! My favourite products are probably the texture mist, the dry shampoo and the paint pot because I will use them the most. But I'll end up using every single product eventually so yeah HAPPY ALEX


Okay, so now I've totalled the whole box up, taking into account how much the sample sizes cost in proportion to the full size and the box is worth £24.67 I think that's amazing because I spent £14.95 on 2 boxes and I haven't even opened the second one yet and I've already got almost double my money's worth! Yay Glossybox! :D


Tata! xxxxxxxxx
