Glossybox: August 2013

. ~ AUGUST GLOSSYBOX 2013 ~ .

I am very proud of myself this month as I have not even had a peak at what could possibly be inside this box. Usually I surf all over the Internet, Instagram and ask friends what they have in theirs but this time -NO- it was a complete surprise. I must admit this makes Glossybox a hell of a lot more interesting but I have to say the tension before opening it is insane and it a little stressful! Anyhow, as ever I am more than pleased with my Augsut Glossybox and cannot wait to share with you what's inside! The theme is 'High Flyers' and Glossybox have tried their hardest to include products from all over the world in this little box. 

EMITE Eyelash Curlers. 

I have never really used eye lash curlers but after using these bad boys I definitely want to intergreat them into my daily beauty routine. Naturally I have long lashes which have a slight curl so you can imagine what they look like when they're curled! I really love how expensive these feel, they also came with  a couple of replacement rubber pieces so the curlers can last me forever! Super impressed with this little gift.

 ÓCEANE Makeup Remover Pen

At first this item is like, 'woah, how cool and unique is that'?! Then, slowly, with a little thought you realise it's a glorified Q-tip (cotton bud). I guess this would be rather useful to take in a travel make up bag but for everyday house hold use this thing is pretty pointless. It's lovely to be able to try something new but I don't think the British public will go mad for these, sorry  ÓCEANE!

 EUCERIN Aquaphor Soothing Skin Balm 

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this! Anything that has a balm/butter texture I really do adore. Glossybox tend to send a lot of these types of products to me but I have to say that I always end up using them up. This balm is apparently a craze in the USA and is used by stars such as Megan Fox. I honestly believe that the stars do use this! The balm is very soothing and hydrates dry skin within an instance. I wouldn't shy away from putting this on sunburn skin ect as I am 100% this will not sting in the slightest. Another bonus is that the balm is very versitile and can be used on almost any part of your body. AND this is available at boots for less than £10, bargain. Overall, my favourite product from this months Glossybox. 

JELLY PONG PONG 2-in-1 Liner/Shadow 

The last JELLY PONG PONG product I received in my Glossybox I became obsessed with. This new product is no exception. Although I must admit I did get a little jealous that some people were blessed with a black pencil I have grown on the colour I received and can agree with myself that this is the most perfect Autumn colour. As the pencil is fairly chunky using it as a eye liner is as easy as one swipe! To make it into a eye shadow is so simple and quick, all you do is scribble a bit on your eye and then blend it in. If you know you're one of these people who have hardly any time in the mornings this is a product definitely worth investing in.

 TRESEMME Concentrate Rinse Off Treatment

I was super please to have received a sample of this because literally the day before my Glossybox had been delivered I brought a trio of Tresemme hair care products which match this treatment. As of now I haven't used the treatment but when I move onto my Tresemme hair products I may pop this in a little review.
