Happy Sunday!
Did you see last week's post? It was my Gerard Cosmetics Haul (here).
Today I'll be showing you what goodies I received in my Glossybox for June.
As the products are very holiday orientated I am saving them for my holiday next week, so I won't be reviewing them as such, more telling you about them. If I think something is particularly great, I'll be sure to keep you all informed!
Ladival Sun Protection Spray SPF 15
This is the first product I am saving for my holiday; Suncream! As it has been either incredibly overcast, storming or chucking it down with rain in the UK lately, I've not had a chance to use this yet. It says on the box that it is an 'advanced infrared-A protection system' and that it protects against 4x more of the sun's UV rays, gives immediate protection, is suitable for sensitive skin and is water resistant! Super handy for 10 days in Spain.
Obviously as with all suncreams, you will still need to keep applying this throughout the day, especially after being in the water, despite how water resistant this proves to be. Looking forward to using this on holiday!
Full size is £19.99

De Bruyère Aftersun Lotion Monoï
I am also saving this for my holiday, but I can tell you that is smells deliciously coconutty, is very cooling and soothing and doesn't feel sticky. I smoothed some over the back of my hand and a little goes a long way! It's also the perfect size to throw in your bag on the go.
My Glossybox card tells me that this can also be used to help prolong a tan! It also says that this aftersun milk is enriched with Monoï (gardenia petals soaked in coconut oil) as well as vitamin E and that it will hydrate, nourish and calm the skin. It's also free from paraben and silicone.
Not bad for less than a tenner!
Origins GinZing Energy Boosting Moisturizer
I have used this a few times and it is really lovely. It smells citrusy and really does wake up the skin. Work has run me ragged recently so when I woke up this morning I really did look tired and my skin looked tired too. I popped some of this energy boosting moisturiser on and noticed a difference in minutes! My complexion looked more even, hydrated and plumped up.
It says that it combines skin-boosting ingredients like coffee beans and panax ginseng (a plant) so that lack-lustre skin will be a thing of the past.
It's a nice moisturiser and it does what it says but I'm not sure I'd pay £24 for it as I still love my Garnier matte+ moisturiser!
Emité Make Up Lip & Cheek Tint
This is another item I haven't really tried out other than on the back of my hand, but the formula is lovely, it blends out nicely and gives a subtle boost of colour. Brilliant for that sun kissed look on the cheeks or to add a wash of colour across the lips in a 'my lips but better' kinda way.
£12.50 for the full size and it's a decent sized tube so it's going to last you ages as a little goes a long way. It also has a doe foot applicator which we all know I love.
Spa To You Konjac Sponge
This is a very intriguing product and I was not expecting it to be wet when I opened it, haha!
My Glossybox card tells me that a Konjac Sponge is the latest cleansing trend from Japan and Korea. The sponges are made of natural fibres from the Konjac (a porous root vegetable from Asia) and is known for its ability to hold water. It's also more gentle than a scrub but has skin-buffing capabilities.
Looking forward to using this to prep my skin for the sun. If you're a skincare fan, at only £6.99 it'd be worth giving it a go, even just for the novelty.
Aussie Hair Care 3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor Deep Conditioner
As a bonus product this month (thank you Glossybox!) I received this Aussie hair mask to restore manageability and shine. It's for damaged hair, and let's be honest, now that I'm straightening my hair more, my hair is crying out for some deep conditioning! I don't know whether to use this before I go away to try and restore my hair a bit, or when I come back to rescue my hair from the sun.
At only £1.09 they are definitely worth trying!
That's it for this month's Glossybox.
Lots of lovely products for the summer!
Leave me a comment about what your favourite product is.
