Hello little bats i'm back! Due to my clumsiness i won't be uploading any videos for quite some time, my poor little orange camera has passed away, although 6 years is a pretty good age. Good video camera's anyone? Here is July's Glossybox in its beachy seaside loveliness, perfect for this beautiful weather we have. This months box had six little lovelies in it
Essie~Sleek Sticks
I'v wanted to try nails stickers for sooooo long, but i never get enough time off work to really give them a fair test. I wasn't crazy about this design but once it was on i have to say they look pretty good. The stickers are easy to apply and position, i also found that one sticker was enough to cover two of the smaller nails on my hands. The stickers have been on for 3 days now, i have been rock climbing and beach swimming and they still look perfect (see picture above). I give these a 5/5 and i will be re-purchasing when i have my next week off work.
Sleek Pout Paint in 162 Milkshake
I am in love with this pout paint, it is uber pigmented and comes in some unusual colours (perfect for me). The only down side is the staying power, my lips looked great until i had dinner and they were nude again. I would definitely advise using lipcote over this product or rimmel apocalips in celestial as an alternative. I had to mark this one down because of the staying power, wasn't mad on the colour either but i'm sure most people would like it. This product costs £4.99 for an 8ml tube.
Bamboo Style~ Boho Waves
I love the idea of this product, GOODBYE STRAIGHT BORING HAIR! HELLO BEAUTIFUL BEACH WAVES! So i gave this stuff a try, it smells pleasant and isn't sticky or greasy. Downside is i had to use half of the bottle to get any effect. My hair looked like i stole it from a bikini wearing surfer girl LOVE!!! But this stuff is expensive, i think i will bottle some sea water next time i go to the beach and save myself £23 (for 125ml).
Anatomicals~ Spray Misty For Me
I'v had a load of anatomicals products from beauty boxes before and LOVE everything i have tried, so i was really looking forward to this spray. This product is intended to cool the face during hot weather. So this product... it cooled my face just as much as a lukewarm bottle of water, smelt kinda nice but not £6 nice. Kind of pointless if you ask me and definitely questionable as a "beauty" product. I would recommend filling a spray bottle with water and a little essential oil to give it a lovely scent. Or as a top tip, buy some toner keep it in the fridge and tada! beautiful cool skin instantly.
Coola Mineral Face SPF20
Sun cream in seaside beauty box was pretty predictable, but at the same time i guess its pretty useful. This product is natural and cruelty free which is AWESOME. But it only has an SPF of 20 which is just not strong enough for my skin, especially my face which burns first. This product also costs a whopping £29.99 for 50ml which is extortionate. As an alternative i would recommend the sunsense tinted SPF50.
Sleek Pout Paint~ Peek-a-Bloo
Yeah this stuff is BLUE! I put it on thinking who the hell puts blue lip stain in a beauty box (unless its halloween, then i'm all for that). I think it looks pretty cool (no pun intended), matches my hair too! After reading the info sheet i found out that it is a colour for mixing. Then i applied my favourite red lipstick over the blue tint and it made the most amazing purple with dark edges (true colour wont show up). I'v never worn a purple toned lipstick but it is my new fave! Pout paint is available at £4.99 a tube.
Peek a Bloo and Miners Lipstick in Scarlet Peek a Bloo
All of these lovely products came to a total cost of £34.78 which is good value as always. My top products this month are the Essie sleek sticks BIG RECOMMEND! and the Sleek pout paints. Thank you all again for reading my little blog, it feels good to be back.
