Glossybox is one of the original beauty subscriptions. You’ll get 5 luxury samples per month for $21. They have great packaging every month with the outer box (above) around the inner box (below).  I love this packaging and I have been reusing the inner boxes for gifts. They are so sturdy and pretty and easy to wrap.

First look inside the inner box and I noticed right away how large the information book was this month. In the past it was a fold out card but this month we get  full on magazine.

This month had a larger magazine information booklet in my Glossybox.  It is really nice and I love all the information and little tidbits that are listed with the goodies.

Everything in my box this month.

glossybox_aug2016_wella

Wella Professionals Oil Reflections Smoothing Oil ($11.83) – This is an all in one oil spray that will reveal the beautiful reflections in your hair. I sprayed this on the other morning and it made my hair shiny and soft feeling.

de Bruyere Paris After Sun Lotion Monoi ($12.00) – I need to try this one. It has been so hot here in NC and I’ve been spending a lot of time at the pool the last week before my boys went back to school today so my skin is dry. I use a lot of sunscreen so I’m not burnt but it still is drying.  This is also good in the winter to help with dry skin from the harsh winds.

Too Faced Mascara Melt Off ($2.96)  – I have never heard of such a thing and I’m intrigued.  You put this on your eyelashes over your mascara wait about 60 seconds and then you wipe it off and the mascara comes right off.  I don’t wear mascara on a regular basis so I passed this onto one of my friends who does and I can’t wait to hear what she has to say about it.

glossybox_aug2016_invisi

invisibobble traceless hair ring ($8) – I was really intrigued by these when I saw them and I just had to try them out. They are made of phone cords and I though there was no way it could work but I wore it all night while scrapbooking and it held my hair great and didn’t give me a headache.  I loved them and so did my friends so I gave them each one. We can all match now.

glossybox_aug2016_trifleopen

Trifle Cosmetics Lip Parfait in Guilty Pig ($18.95) – This month everyone got either Guilty Pig or Exotic Fruits and I’m in love with this packaging. It is so cute and fun and this shade actually works for me.  I was just saying that I needed some new colors since I keep passing on my lipsticks to friends so I’m keeping this one. It went on nice and smooth and looked great with my summer coloring.

Also FYI – this is made by So Susan – see the details on their subscription here!

Borghese Fango Body Refining Polish ($3.06) – Subscribers received one of a couple different Borghese Body Muds or the Body Refining Polish. I got the Body Refining Polish and as I said above my skin is dry from the summer so I’m putting this in my bathroom to use.  It smells good and is a gentle exfoliant that you apply and rub in and then wait a bit and rinse off with warm water.

This is a fun box this month. I’ve already tried a couple of the items and I like them and I can’t wait to try the other ones soon.  Summer is coming to an end so I’m glad they sent some items to help deal with items that will rejuvenate and hydrate my summer skin and hair.

In the information booklet we got a sneak peek for the September box and it will be a specially designed box with some wonderful illustrations.  Just look at the sneak peek and I’m already excited to see what the whole box will look like.

    I STILL have NOT received my August box. GB was paid on the 2nd. I have contacted them multiple times this month. I normally would have received my box by the 12th in the past. The warehouse created the label on the 9th but it NEVER shipped. GB has now told me multiple times they have contacted the warehouse and I should receive mu box by the 30th. This is the 4th time since February that I have had issues with them. I am looking forward to using the hair holders. The fango masks are a meh. Been using their products for years. Not excited about something that is $2.86 (the too faced melt off) as I pay full price for this sub. I wonder if anyone else has experienced not receiving their box this month?
