Glossybox June 2014

So it's Mini-Xmas time in my house this week... yip... my Glossybox turned up! I have to say I've been SO impressed with the boxes this year.  I cancelled my subscription last year because I was literally receiving 5 samples I could've picked up at Debenhams.  BUT this year the boxes have been fab, I've received loads of full-size products and if I can't use the product myself - I've stashed it for stocking fillers.

This month GlossyBox are embracing the great British summer. The selected products help you update your summer beauty routine in one easy step. The box was worth over £50 which is brilliant for just £13.25 incl pp!

I've filmed the 'unboxing' and my initial thoughts on the box too - you can watch it on YouTube by clicking the link below :)

First up is the Schwarzkopf got2b Rise 'n Shine Souffle.  RRP: £ 3.99 - currently on offer at Superdrug for £2.66!

"NEW got2b Rise 'n Shine soufflé gives your hair textured volume and silky shine for a truly glamorous finish."

My first reaction to this product is that it made my hair go sticky... however I had already got a product on my hair when I tried it which wasn't very clever so I'll give this another go when I wash my hair tonight!

Next is the So Susan Concealer Quad - RRP: £ 16.95

"A compact of 4 concealer shades that cover dark shades, blemishes and minor imperfections"

The outer packaging on this product is simply gorgeous. I LOVE it to bits. However the actual product packaging is disappointing and gives quite a high end concealer a really bad look in my opinion :( I'm sorry Susan! The product also didn't work for me and it didn't conceal any blemishes on my skin. It was hard to use from the quad palette and hardly anything came out even when rubbed pretty vigourously.

 

Next out of the box was the teeez Flat Stiff Makeup Brush - RRP: unknown - I can't find this online - sorry!

Again the packaging is just stunning and I'm really interested in their makeup range after seeing it on their website.  I do wear eyeshadow most days so will definitely be giving this a go as my eyeshadow brush definitely needed replacing!

Next is the Nailgirls Top Coat - RRP: £ 13.50 - I've just found it at Not on the High Street for £ 8.10 - whoop!

"A quick drying top coat with a wet look shine. Dries up to 4 coats of colour in under 3 minutes with a glossy finish"

As I mentioned in my video, I try and have my nails done as often as I can with Gel overlays but this will be great for those poor times when I'm whacking polish on my nails myself :) 

Next out of the magic box was the Fleur de Figuier Shower Cream , Body Lotion & Fragrance Sample - RRP : £ 9.50 (shower cream), £ 13 (body lotion) & £32 (fragrance) available at M&S

"The fresh and indulgent scent of Eau Fraiche Fleur de Figuier radiates light and opulence. A melting formula, infused with fig pulp, the main active ingredient is extracted from the buds of the plant, known for their softening properties and effect on suppleness"
The smell of this is gorgeous - a light, fruity smell, perfect for invigorating your shower on hot summer days!

As usual the Glossy mag was packed with info & PR write-ups on this month's featured brands.... I've shown you So Susan in this image because I do feel bad that I didn't like the product when she looks so lovely!
