What's In My Glossybox? | August 2016

What's In My Glossybox? | August 2016

Hello Everyone
Happy Sunday!
Today I'll be showing you what I received in my Glossybox for the month of August. 
This month, Glossybox have teamed up with the accessory label Rae Feather, as it is Glossybox's 5th birthday! Happy Birthday Glossybox.I haven't had chance to test run all of the products yet, so I'll just be giving you my initial thoughts today and if I think something is worth buying, I'll do a mini review on my Instagram.

MUA 'Hall Of Fame' Eyeshadow Palette Swatches

This month we got to choose from  four MUA eyeshadow palettes, so when I first opened my glossybox I was a bit miffed as I hadn't received the one I picked! I wasn't too bothered as the palettes are only £4 so I could always pick up the one I had wanted, but a couple of days later I  got an email from Glossybox saying that there was a technical error and I had been sent the wrong palette, so they're sending me the palette I originally chose, in the September box! I do love Glossybox, purely for their great customer service. 


Anyway onto the actual product: I've always liked MUA and think the quality and price point are brilliant, these shadows swatched really well and felt like a  creamy powder consistency, I haven't had chance to put them to use yet but if they're anything like the other MUA palettes I have I'm sure they'll be fab! 

Perfect for only £4.

When I squeezed a bit of this onto the back of my hand I could already tell that I am going to like this. I've been getting more into face masks lately so I'm excited to try this out as it has a gritty (not a great choice of word) texture to it so I think this'll be great at exfoliating the skin.

The RRP is a whopping £53 (say whaaat?!) but it claims to do a multitude of things for your skin such as: detoxify, refine and tighten pores, hydrate, brighten, smooth skin and just generally give it a boost. It is also PH balanced and contains no parabens. I can't wait to give this a go and see if it lives up to it's expectations.

This body lotion smells amazing - a bit like gingerbread - and it is packed with 'skin loving essential oils' such as lemongrass, ginger and rosemary. It's a lovely creamy consistency and absorbs into the skin really nicely without leaving it feeling sticky. 
RRP:£20, not sure I'd pay that much but if you like to splurge on body lotions, you wouldn't be disappointed.

If I'm honest, I thought this was a bit of cheat to include it as one of the 5 items. I'm not really a canvas fan nor a make up bag fan (sorry, 'pochette' fan) so I probably won't use this. I might have felt different if it had my own initials monogrammed onto it, haha!
It has a wipe clean inside though which I thought was a clever touch because the inside of make up bags can get really grubby, really quickly.
RRP: £20, I wouldn't pay that but if you're into Rae Feather then you'd probably like this.

I am SUPER excited to test this cleansing brush out and will probably use it with the Mudmasky mask.
The bristles feel really soft but very effective, like they'll gently but thoroughly exfoliate the skin. The green  silicone 'cushions' help to massage the face which in turn, increases blood flow and better  rejuvenation and radiance. Brill!
You use it with your normal cleanser/face mask to get a deeper clean as it helps to buff away dead skin cells.
RRP: £7 which I think is a great price, whether it turns out to be gimicky or not we'll have to wait and see, but from first glance I think it'll be worth the money.
​So those are all the goodies I received in my August Glossybox.
If you're a Glossie, were you pleased with what you received? 
Leave me a comment!

Thanks for reading and I'll be back next Sunday.
