July's GlossyBox


Today I finally got my July GlossyBox!! This is the second box GB has sent me as the courier kindly left my first box on the doorstep and some tramp promptly nicked it which was a bit pants. 
Its left me wandering what was in my original box and whether I was one of the lucky few to receive the HD brows kits....I'll never know and its probably for the best as I am DESPERATE to get my hands on one of those kits but alas it's not to be!
So as you can see from the pic above I received the Collin Resultime regenerating collagen Gel 15ml, Awapuhi Wild Ginger texturizing sea spray 25ml, Monu Night cream 20ml, Jelly Pong Lip Frosting 15ml (fullsize) and Kryolan satin powder 3g (full size) plus some bonus samples from Elizabeth Arden.
I love the Monu Night cream I've had other products from Monu in previous GB's and I really like it. I'm not usually one for herbal smelling products but this is the exception as Monu really works for my skin and actually I don't mind the smell so that for me was a winner straight off!
The Kryolan powder I was initially a bit "meh" about but I got it out tried it and was really surprised at how much I liked it, I used over the top of my normal eye shadow and it gave a really nice shimmer effect and following advice seen on GB's Facebook I tried it wet and was really pleased with the depth of colour so another yes to that.
The Jelly Pong Lip Frosting smells divine remind's me of Hubba Bubba the pink one! I like it it works for me, I think a clear gloss over the top would give it more of a pop but as it is I can see myself using this daily.
The sea spray I'll give it a whirl but I'm crap at the beach look I just end up looking like a gull has nested in my hair rather than the "sexy beach babe" I dream to be!!
Never heard of Collin's before other than the dictionary peeps who I assume are not affiliated?!! It says it can be used daily as a serum or applied thick as a night mask so I think I'll try it as a mask as I already have enough serums to get through!
The Elizabeth Arden samples are in the bin I have no time for those samples they just end up half used oozing in your bathroom till you chuck them so no! It was a bonus however and apparently if I go to Debenhams I can flash the card and get a delux sample so I can't moan.
Really pleased with my box, the Monu products I adore so that alone won it for me and the rest all seems good so I really can't complain. Obviously I would have loved the HD brows kit but actually what I got is more what I'll use so I can't grumble especially as GlossyBox where so good in replacing the stolen box.
Thumbs up to GlossyBox this month I loved it!
