I've finally opened my August GlossyBox. I know it's now September but I was on holiday for pretty much all of August and when I came home I had one of those annoying red cards from Royal Mail that meant I had to go down to the sorting office and collect my parcel.
This is only my second month of getting Glossybox but I'm enjoying them so much!

This month GlossyBox
are celebrating their 3rd birthday so I was super excited to see what goodies they would be including in their box. I had to avoid certain blogs and websites as I knew they would give away what was inside, and part of the fun for me is the surprise.
The box was a beautiful powdery pink colour and the product card was a handy foldable insert.
The products I received were
It is a versatile, lightweight cream with a gloss finish which gives cheekbones, lips, and other parts of the skin a beautiful velvety shine.
The colour looks really natural. I tried it on my cheekbones and cupid's bow and it really does give that natural looking glow. The shade is really diverse making it suitable for all complexions.
I love a good hand cream so I was delighted with the inclusion of this Figs & Rouge hand cream which I haven't tried before. I received the Rose Berry scent. I love the packaging. When I tried it, it seemed really rich and thick coming out of the tube but it sinks in to the skin almost instantly. It's not greasy at all and is enriched with shea butter, natural antioxidants and algea extract. I wasn't overally keen on the scent as rose is not really my thing, but after looking at the website I definitely think I might order the Mango and Mandarian version.
I love trying out new scents and am always on the hunt for different scents to add to my collection. I suppose I didn't really luck out this box as this scent definitely has a rose undertone. Rose just isn't my thing but the perfume is a beautiful fragrance with fresh bergamot and a musk undertone. It's a delicate fragrance so makes it a perfect daytime scent (if you like rose!)
This SkinPep Super C15 Serum looks really interesting. I've briefly used it for a few days now and I have to say I'm really enjoying it. I apply a few drops morning and night under my moisturiser. It claims to offer UV protection and collagen stimulation. I haven't been using it long enough to notice any real benefits but I'll be sure to update you soon.
This is a teeny, tiny nail polish at just 3ml and it's GlossyBox's birthday bonus item this month. It's a pretty pink colour and being a fan of all things pink I'm happy to add this polish to my collection.
There’s a guaranteed Elasticizer in every GlossyBox this month and a product which I’ve been keen to try for quite a while due to the many reviews I've read.
This pre-shampoo treatment was originally created specifically for the beauty Audrey Hepburn and claims to deliver elasticity, manageability, bounce and shine without weighing down or coating the hair.
I’ve not had chance to try this out yet but I'm really looking forward to. My only issue with it is that hair needs to be wet before applying then leave on for 20 minutes. I think I'll have to do it on a lazy Sunday morning when I can take my time.
Overall, I'm really happy with this months box. Ok, so I received a few rose smelling items but hey, that's ok. I love that I've received products and brands I've never heard of.
