I do love a good collector's edition Glossybox, and this is the second one for this summer. The box is the last box for summer, continuing the heat with a bronzer and pink eyeshadows, to cooling things off with a soothing hair mask and a multi purpose dry shampoo and conditioner. It's all packaged up in a powder blue box with 'girls just wanna have sun' on the lid. There's an extra treat in the box too; inside is an Aloha bracelet from Purelei but to be honest I'll probably use it as a bobble.
The first items in the box are from Essence. They're the 'live.laugh.celebrate!' palette with eyeshadows (£1.50 per palette and £1.50 per powder). I've only actually created my own eyeshadow palette once and I've only filled half of the spaces in it as the eyeshadows are £10+ each. This is a lot more affordable, and the palette itself as little coloured beads in which did make me distracted for a good few minutes I'm ashamed to admit. The shades in this palette are 'it's my birthday' (a shimmery silver), 'my special highlight' (a peachy matte) 'rhythm of the night' (a shimmery pink) and 'tgif' (a matte browny-pink). If you're starting out with makeup or you're on a tight budget, definitely give this customisable palette a try.
The second item in the box is the Modellauncher Safari Sun Bronzer (£16.50). It's free from talc and is mineral-enriched powder bronzer that's made to put on where the sun would naturally hit your face such as the cheekbones, forehead, chin and the bridge of the nose. The colour is lovely but I'm not sold on the leopard print design, but I'm not into animal print regardless. Next is the Rodial Suede Lips (£22) which is another full-sized product. It's a matte lip crayon that contains Vitamin E and you can use it to add a hint of colour to the lips or apply fully for a soft berry shade. I love a good lip crayon and I've been enjoying using this one.
The last two products are focused around the hair. The Valquer Ice Hair Mask Total Repair (£14.99 for a full size) is a unique energising hair mask that has a cooling effect. It enhances and optimises the effect of macadamia oil to make it better at hydrating and taming your hair. After you shampoo, once a week swap your conditioner out for this and gently massage it into damp hair and leave for 3-5 minutes then rinse out. You feel its cooling effect which is great for me as I have thick hair and my head can get pretty hot if I have my hair up. The last product is the Batiste 2 in 1 Dry Shampoo & Conitioner in Orange and Pomegranate. Not only does this refresh the roots but it conditions the lengths of the hair which is great for those with dry, curly or coloured treated hair (in this case I meet all three of these!). After spraying, massage it in then style the hair. It smells amazing and I'll definitely have to pick up the full sized £4.49 can of this.
I hope you liked the August box! Make sure to check out the July Glossybox for another look at what Glossybox has to offer.
