Glossybox August

Glossybox arrived much earlier than it usually does this month!!  I typically get mine the last day of the month and it arrived the 24th!!  

The Glossymag always comes on top of your box

I'm still trying to figure out what I should use these for and if painting them would be an option

I have to say they wrap their boxes very neatly

The Goods!

This month's box:

• Biolage - Exquisite Oil Replenishing Treatment:  The sample comes in a small tube with a pump, there is enough for two to three applications.  I'm not sure how much "shine" I need with my fine hair, but I will definitely apply to my dry and brittle ends.  A full size of this would be $22 for 3.01oz. 

• Ellis Faas - Ellis Lips:  This bullet or pen shaped tube is actually a lip gloss.  I received the glaze which is a gloss finish with a hint of color.  The color isn't something that I would purchase, a darker red/brown but over top nude or pink lipstick or lip stain it would probably look nice.  This product doesn't have a super sticky finish or funky taste like some glosses.  $32 for .095 OZ (this is a full size product).  

• Illamasqua LTD - Nail Varnish:  I received the color "Taint" and to be honest T and I both couldn't get over that a beauty company would name any luxury item such a word.  This is a rich creamy brown that should be fun for Fall.... hopefully it doesn't look too odd on my nails because the polish is supposed to be great.  $14 for .5 FL OZ (this is a full size product).  

• Ole Henriksen - Truth Serum Collagen Booster:  This product product has one of those manmade citrusy scents to it - not one of my favorites.  I look forward to trying this out - another reviewer said that it works amazing and it is never too early to start with preventative maintenance.  $48 for 1OZ (the sample is .5oz - $22 value).  

• Touch In Sol - Feel Like Honey Moon Skin Base:  This is a all in one moisturizer and makeup base that has tiny gold flakes floating within the product.  I tried this out the day I got it because I was weirded out that it had gold flakes and wanted to see if you could see them on your face ... you can't... I'm pretty sure they stay on your fingers.  I was impressed that this was so light and did not leave my face feeling dewy, heavy, or greasy.  I'm always excited to get new moisturizers like this because I have a love/hate relationship with so many products because after my skin gets used to it - it leaves my skin feeling greasy. $20 for 1.12 OZ (I can't remember what size this was, but it was about 1.06OZ)

I was very pleased with Glossybox this month - much more than the $21 cost of the box and I hope this continues!
