The perfectly wrapped August 2014 Glossybox has arrived and this month they celebrate their 3rd anniversary in style including a subtle make over of their iconic pink box. I was particularly looking forward to this month’s box as celebratory boxes usually mean a box full of treats and in my opinion I wasn’t wrong!
As well as the revamp of the box and the intricate detail, the product card has also had a make over and now comes in the form of a foldable insert which is more informative and easy on the eye.
This month’s box covers all aspects of beauty and features a great line up of brands including Kryolan, Comfort Zone, Figs & Rouge, Philip Kingsley, Yves Rocher and Lalique.
Glossybox is a monthly beauty subscription service. The box consists of 4-5 selected hair, make-up , body and nail products from well-known brands and new brands and includes a mixture of full sized and sample products.
This month’s box included 3 full sized products and 3 sample sized products. A total of 6 products this month.

1. Philip Kingsley Elasticizer – Sample Size 40ml. Full Size 250ml RRP £38.00
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 it’s raving reviews.
This pre-shampoo treatment was originally created specifically for the beauty Audrey Hepburn and delivers unrivalled elasticity, manageability, bounce ans shine without weighing down or coating the hair.
I’ve never used a pre-shampoo treatment where the hair needs to be wet before applying. I look forward to trying this out.
2. Yves Rocher Nail Polish – Full Size 3ml RRP £3.60
This must be the tiniest nail polish I’ve ever owned at 3ml and it’s a birthday bonus item this month.
The shade is a pretty pink which goes hand in hand with the coordination of their colour theme.
Being a fan of all things pink I welcomed this nail polish and the colour is adorably pretty.
3. Kryolan Highlighter – Full Size 4.5g RRP £12.50
I was particularly looking forward to trying out this highlighter by Kryolan who are known for their professional make up line used by make up artists and celebrities. This was imprinted with the Glossybox logo and came in the shade Cashmere.
The shade Cashmere is sold on Kryolan’s website and is a versatile, lightweight cream with a gloss finish. It gives cheekbones, lips, and other parts of the skin a beautiful velvety shine.
I love the colour which looks really natural and accentuates specific area’s when applied. The shade is really diverse making it suitable for all complexions.
4. Figs and Rouge Mini Hand Cream – Sample Size 20ml. Full Size 80ml RRP £6.95
I do love a good hand cream and owning many types I was pleased to see the inclusion of Figs and Rouge which is a brand I’ve not tried before.
I received the hand cream in Mango and Mandarin in a vibrant coloured tube.
The tropical fragrance is uplifting and not too overpowering. You can really pick up the fruity tones of the Mango and Mandarin . This non greasy formula which is rich in texture sinks straight into the skin giving a nourishing feel and is enriched with shea butter, natural antioxidants and algea extract.
Whilst this may be a sample it’s very good sized at 20ml.
The comfort zone brand was conceived and launched in 1996 as the skincare division of The Davines Group, which was founded in Parma, Italy, in 1983 by the Bollati family. What began as a research laboratory for the development of high-quality, highly effective products has grown into an internationally successful professional spa brand with a diverse range of product and treatment offerings.
This is a creamy, revitalizing, cleansing milk for daily use and is suitable for all skin conditions.
This product is definitely the main highlight within this month’s box and comes in an amazing size of 200ml.
I’m impressed with the celebratory Glossybox this month. It covers all aspects of beauty and most importantly all of the products are very usable. I’ve made some great discoveries this month which has given me the opportunity to try out some new brands which were not familiar to me.
This month see’s a change in the design of their box which is now more square and chic in appearance. The texture is now matte instead of the usual glossy box. I much prefer this re-design and I love the intricate detail from their wrapping to their 3rd anniversary sticker!
This month’s box included 3 full sized products and 3 sample sized products totaling 6 products. The contents within this month’s box is worth £36.10 and all subscribers will receive a minimum value of £33.00.
Glossybox do include some full sized products which bumps up the value of the box so it’s a great price to pay to discover and trial products from well known and new brands. I will be making use of all of the products featured in this month’s box.
A good effort by Glossybox this month from the intricate detail of the box to the contents enclosed.
I do love coming home to Glossybox for the surprise aspect it’s like having a birthday present to unwrap every month!
