Good evening lovelies.
This month the Glossybox theme is 'International Superstars' which I think is rather fitting as the Olympics have just ended.
'This month, Glossybox goes global with hero products from around the world for you to try. Our beauty team selected from brands that are well known in the UK, as well as products that have cult status in their native country, which you may never have heard of before. We even have a brand representing cool Brittania herself!'
Here is what I received...
Glossybox August 2012
Included in my August Glossybox:
Vera Valenti - L'ombre a Paupiere Margarita: When I first saw this in the box I have to say I really wasn't impressed, 4 green eyeshadows?! When I swatched the eyeshadows I was even less impressed, they all lack pigmentation and they feel really chalky. I even dislike the packaging, it looks cheap & tacky to me! As you can probably tell I REALLY don't like this product!

Lipcote: This has been a product I've always wanted to try but never got round to doing so, I remember my Mum using this when I was little! Lipcote is intended to seal lipstick, I'll certainly be giving this a go when I next wear a vibrant lipstick and let you know what i think!

All For Eve - Eve's Balm: I've heard of this balm before & it was a pleasant surprise in my Glossybox. This balm can be used on any dry chapped skin & I'm looking forward to tying it out.

DHC - DHC Deep Cleansing Oil: This was the product I was most excited about in this months Glossybox. I've really been into skincare recently & I can't wait to try this later today to remove my makeup!

Allessandro - Pro White: I'm really intrigued by this product, it's supposed to counteract any yellow tones in the nails leaving white & gleaming nails. I can't wait to try this out!

Glossybox Lipstick - Glossy Pink: Glossybox have included some own brand products in recent boxes & to be honest I've never really been impressed with them, that was before they included this lipstick in this months box! I really like the bright pink shade and the formula is really glossy. the packaging isn't amazing but it doesn't look too cheap & I like the Glossybox logo on the lid.
Overall I like this box, it certainly isn't my favourite but I feel I'll get some use out of most products. The only product I really hated was the palette which I cannot see myself using at all!
What did you think of the August Glossybox?
