July Glossy Box - I Actually Really Liked This One

So again, this is late. I work, I'm busy. ANYWAY. This is the July Glossy Box and it is Parisian themed, which I think is super cool. This time around I'm a fan of all the products, being that they were what I actually wanted from a box like this, namely skin products, because I have no idea where to begin when it comes to them.


Now, let's pause for the beauty of this box. I am in love. Again I have promised myself I will use these boxes for SOMETHING, ANYTHING.


I'm loving the colour scheme here, still so pretty.


Et voilĂ , the interior. I'm pretty excited by this point.


All the products came in this gorgeous makeup bag, which, according to the little info card, was designed by the fashion illustrator Jamie Lee Reardin. I now use this as the bag that holds all the innocuous tat in my actual bag, including tweezers, a pencil, lash glue, a mini sewing kit, and much more! But seriously, my bag looks so tidy right now, so I love this thing. (Also, good zip, good size, and good, easily cleanable material).


Now, the first product. This cute darling is Lollipops' Lip Balm Delicieuse. This is a full size product worth £4.15. As someone whose work requires her to regularly enter a freezer, lip balms are a must. This isn't small, so I keep it at home, rather than carrying it around. It smells really nice, the texture is good, it applies really nicely, and yeah, it works. I woke up with bleeding lips this morning, and they now feel on the way to recovery. I really like this product.


Next is Yves Rocher's Comme Une Evidence Eau De Parfum. Didn't expect to get a perfume in these boxes, so this was a nice surprise, especially considering I own one perfume and it's running out.


This is a sample size, but the full size is worth £24.50. The card describes its scent as musky and floral, with notes of violet leaves, rose, lily of the valley and patchouli. I will take its word for it. It smells really lovely, though. Another win for me.


This is Teoxane Cosmeceuticals' Perfect Skin Refiner. This is something to be used at night, apparently. I've only used this once, mostly from forgetfulness. I was also drunk last night, so I wasn't thinking about applying skin products before bed. I don't really have an opinion on this yet, but it applies nicely. Skin products excite me in general, so I'll see how this one goes. The full size is worth £70, so I'm expecting my skin to be SO refined. It apparently plumps and hydrates skin, so I'll wait and see.


Finally, this is Noxidoxi's Enhancing Serum Base, the full size being worth £33.46. Another expensive face product that I would never typically buy. This also offers hydration. Man, my skin is gonna be so hydrated, which is good, because of the freezer thing. I have been using this regularly, I don't know if it's making a difference, but my skin is looking and feeling pretty good right now, so I'm going to keep on using it.

I really loved this box, which is a good thing considering the anti-climax that was the June box. Next month the sneak peak is that we're getting a lash primer, which seems pretty cool. The conclusion to all this? I'm going to keep giving Glossy Box my money.
