This months Glossybox is a natural edition, five products all of which are made from natural ingredients
cruelty free and the majority being cruelty free too - glamorous yet ethical.
The box that it all came presented in is also great for the environment as 100% biodegradable.
Okay on to what was inside of my box and my thoughts...
Caudalie - Vinosource SOS Thirst-Quenching Serum
Caudalie is very much having a moment in the beauty world
and i'm sure many were excited to see this serum in their box.
The serum is ultra-concentrated ensuring the skin never lacks moisture.
I quite enjoyed the serum, it has a light dreamy natural scent and a little goes a long way.
I found it to moisturise my face without overwhelming it and making me an oily mess.
Inika Cosmetics - Certified Organic Eye Liner
I received the shade Sapphire which is a rich matte navy shade
that I quite like, it makes a nice change from the typical black shade.
I found it to be soft and creamy which allowed it to apply easily without pulling at the skin.
It is quite pigmented and works best on the upper lash line opposed to the water line.
Monu Professional Skin Care - Enriched Body Cream
I want to begin by saying there is no way I would pay £23 for the full size version - 200ml.
It's not that I don't like this body cream which in my opinion is more of a lotion
it is just that I don't feel £23 is justified for 200ml when used daily I would be replacing this
on a fortnightly basis and £46 on body lotion a month is a tad steep.
That aside I found it to be hydrating, non greasy and have a pleasant scent.
Figs and Rouge - 100% Organic Balm - Peppermint and Tea Tree
I'm not going to lie I really wanted the Cherry and Vanilla variation but at £3.29
I'm sure I can pick up all the scents my little heart desires!
This balm can be used anywhere on the body you have dryness but I tend to use my Fig
and Rouge balms as lip balms in all truthfulness.
All of the Fig and Rouge balms are moisturising and give the lips a nice sheen,
the texture is a little gritty to begin with so ensure you heat the product up with your fingertips
before applying for a soft even texture.
In my opinion this was the best item in my box.
Philip B - Drop Dead Straightening Balm
This is a silicon free balm that washes out after use.
I found it to be a little watery and hard to control just how much product I wanted.
That aside when applied to wet hair and dried straight it does do what it promises
and made my hair straight and kink free until I washed it out.
Basically I liked it but didn't love it enough to buy the full size version.
So that is what was inside my box this month.
