Everything arrived in a sturdy pink box!

This box’s theme is BIRTHDAY BOX.

The items were wrapped in pink paper and sealed with a black ribbon and sticker. They were also cushioned in black squiggles!

The booklet lists what’s in the box along with a photo of each product.

There’s also information about Generation GLOSSYBOX and The Glossy Lounge.

Everything in my August 2021 GLOSSYBOX! FYI – there may be variations this month!

KAB Cosmetics Juicy Melon Lip Oil ($20) I received this lip oil in Juicy Melon variant, and it smells amazing! Just a few swipes of this product makes my lips feel super hydrated without the sticky feeling. The large doe foot applicator also makes it very easy to apply. It may be purple on the bottle but it goes clear when applied.

Glow Recipe Blueberry Bounce Gentle Cleanser ($10) This gentle cleanser helps remove makeup and dirt, a perfect addition to a night time skincare routine. It contains blueberry extracts which are abundant with natural antioxidants and helps protect the skin from environmental stressors. Another key ingredient is hyaluronic acid that keeps skin hydrated. Unlike other cleansers, this one doesn’t leave the skin feeling too dry.

The cleanser came with a product pamphlet, with instructions on how to use it as a cleanser, makeup remover, and even as a mask.

Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream ($45) Thanks to Jody for the correction. Now here’s something for my morning routine, an face cream with anti-aging benefits! It contains padina pavonica, chlorella, and ginkgo biloba which helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improve the skin’s firmness and elasticity. It applies smoothly and it also works great as a base for makeup!

Cetaphil Sheer Hydration Replenishing Body Lotion ($6.99) I also received a body lotion that hydrates and nourishes the skin, and it’s ideal even for sensitive skin types. The formula uses Cetaphil’s Hydrosensitiv Complex, a blend of active moisturizers and the soothing blue daisy.

It also contains sunflower oil which is known to be rich in antioxidants. This lotion doesn’t leave a sticky and uncomfortable feeling after application. It’s fine, but not a wow product. It’s my expectation that drugstore products are bonus/sponsored items.

Invisibobble SLIM Marbelous You’re Greyt ($9.95) I received 3 f hair rings and they all come in a smoky grey color. They feature a spiral shape and they are perfect for ponytails or buns. They have a strong grip and they don’t tangle with dry hair! I do absolutely adore Invisibobble hair ties. They just work!

HASK Keratin Smoothing Deep Conditioner ($2.33) Formulated with keratin protein, this deep conditioner revives the hair and repairs damages so it looks shiny and healthy. It works for color treated hair and for over processed hair as well. Another thing I like about this conditioner is its fruity floral scent! To use, just get a generous amount and apply to clean, wet hair. Leave it on for 10 minutes before rinsing and then you can style it the way you want to after.

It’s GLOSSYBOX’s 10th anniversary! However, it’s disappointing that they sent the items in their classic pink box instead of a specially designed box (they mentioned it in last month’s insert). Content-wise, it was pretty good as it includes useful hair care, body care, and skincare items. If I have to choose a favorite, it would be the face cream. It’s perfect for everyday use and it works well under makeup. I also love the Invisibobble rings. The overall retail value of the box is $94.27, more than 4 times the price of the box! Except for the box design, this was a good box overall, and I always love getting Glow Recipe.

    I just got my box. I received “stay golden” invisibobble and everything else same as your box.
    I came here to say my Elemis does not say spf 30 on the bottle. Neither does your’s in the photo. Boxes keep sending this one without spf. and keep saying it is spf. I really wanted to try that one. Idk if I should reach out? Thoughts?
