I'm really enjoying all the July beauty boxes at the moment, it may not exactly be for the contents this month but rather the cute and travel ready pouches that come with two of this months boxes. Glossybox July 2015 has a chic Parisienne theme with mainly skin care goodies as the contents from both brands that you may be familiar with to slightly more niche French offerings. Is it the best box of the year? No but there are some surprise hits and the exclusive Glossybox travel pouch is not to be missed.
A quick note on the pouch before I share the physical contents of this months box, it is sized to comply with airport security measures so you can use it for all methods of travel. It is also large enough to hold most day to day essentials should you want to stash it inside your handbag. I am more than a little enamoured with the print and will be using it for all future flights and feel a tad sassy doing so ha!
Now for the contents, which are more intriguing than they appear...I promise!
- Noxidoxi Enhancing Serum Base - As someone who will activity run down a street to get away from second hand smoke this is a product I can imagine I will eventually purchase in full size. Not only does it moisturise but it contains anti-inflammatories and antioxidants to protect the skin from environmental damage. What makes this product so intriguing is the fact that it aims to shield the skin from cigarette smoke - a must for an city slicker I would imagine?
- Lollipops Lip Balm - A silken soft lip balm that smells sugary sweet, a lot like strawberry hard candy and lollipops (of course). This contains vitamin E to protect and shield from UV damage. I've quickly tested this and can vouch that it is fairly hydrating and pleasant to use. This is the only full sized product in the box.
- Teoxane Cosmeceuticals Perfect Skin Refiner - A night time treatment which contains hyaluronic acid to hydrate, glycolic acid to resurface and calming ingredients to soothe and reduce irritation. It does sound to be a wonder product!
- Vichy Aqualia Thermal Light Cream - I have used this several times in the past, mainly in the summer weather when I need both hydration yet want a non-greasy and light texture. This is such a gentle moisturiser that I would recommend to all. Not only does it hydrate but it also repairs too. I highly recommend it.
Like I said the box may not look all that great initially but I think they are some great hidden gems and new brands to discover which make this a fairly exciting box, or should that be pouch?

I’ve always wanted to try Lollipops Lip Balm. I used to be subscribed to Glossy Box, but canceled my subscription a while back, as I was never getting round to using the products.

How I wish we also have beauty box subscription here :(
ReplyDeleteWe have a Lollipops distributors, but they don't have the full product range. Have you tried any Lollipops products other than this lipbalm?
The environmental damage protection claim that Noxidoxi Enhancing Serum Base is the one I'm most curious about though :)

The product sizes aren't exactly wowing me, but the pouch is so gorgeous. I think I may prefer this pouch to the Birchbox offering, but the Birchbox contents x

I really like the look of this Glossybox. The Lollipops lip balm looks so nice and I love the bag all the products come in.

I have to say I'm a little disappointed with the products considering it's a French pharmacy box as I'd hoped to have recognised more of the brands. Also there's only four products instead of the usual five? To be honest though it's highly likely I might order it just for that seriously cute pouch! x
