With summer soon approaching everyone’s attention will be turning to the outdoors and with this in mind you can expect to see a selection of new discoveries alongside some seasonal must-haves inside the May Glossybox. I really love what’s inside this month’s box it’s the perfect curation that gives you that little head start to prep for the summer with a mixture of practical essentials from skin and body care, a hair product and some make up treats. The line up mainly features brands I’ve not tried before so it was great to see these inside the box and impressively four out of the five products are full sized making it great value for money this month.

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.

1. MeMeMe Enchanted Eyes Dual Ended Eye Wand  – Full Size RRP £6.95

MeMeMe Cosmetics is a brand that’s regularly featured inside Glossybox and this month you can expect to see their Dual Ended Eye Wand in the shade Midnight Storm that’s yet to be released so it was great to be one of the first to try it out.

The wand consists of two shimmery shades a turquoise and a light blue. The crayon-like texture has a really creamy consistency with great pigmentation making them such a dream to work with. The shades as a duo really compliment each other and would look great for evenings out especially in the summer. 

2. Etre Belle Aloe Vera Ultra Moisturising Gel – Full Size 40ml RRP £15.93

Aloe vera has many benefits and is truly a versatile skin healer especially for the warmer months and those summer holidays coming up so it’s a great addition to this month’s line up.

Containg Liposomes, this especially smoothing moisturising gel tightens and revives the skin with a gel texture that feels light and cooling on the skin, and it’s the ideal size for traveling.

3. Zerreau Towel Off Shampoo Foam – Full Size 70ml £7.95

Dry shampoos are such a saviour in between hair washes and are great for eradicating oil as well as adding volume to flat lifeless hair so I was really delighted to see this foam version by Zerreau.

Zerreau is the next generation of dry shampoo allowing you to wash your hair without water and is known as a hybrid between normal and dry shampoo and comes in an apple scent.

With Festival season soon approaching this is an absolute essential, especially if you plan on camping.

4.  SASS Intimate Perfect Skin Concentrate –  Sample Size 30ml

When summer creeps up on you and it’s time to put on that new bikini, the SASS Intimate Perfect Skin Concentrate comes to the rescue by caring for post-shave skin regardless of whether you wax or shave.

The SASS Intimate Perfect Skin Concentrate contains exfoliating Salicyclic Acid and Fruit Enzymes which help to prevent ingrown hairs. The Aloe Vera soothes and hydrates, whilst the Kelisoft helps to minimise hair regrowth. This is such a useful product to have on standby!

5.  Collection Cosmetics Field Day Lipstick – Full Size RRP £2.99

I love Collection Cosmetics for its affordability and on trend makeup so was pleased to see a very wearable shade in the shade Tulip from their Field Day range.

 This pastel pink that also leans towards a coral shade applies matte with the bonus of  having a creamy consistency too and it’s quintessential shade will bring a splash of summer to your lips.

 

My Verdict

I’m really liking this month’s box and the line up fits so aptly with the theme itself. There’s a great mix of practical and essential products that I will certainly be turning to during the warmer months and one of the highlights for me is the fact that the majority of the products were from brands I’ve not tried before so it was lovely to see these featured. This month’s box boasts four full sized products which totals up to a value of around £33.82.

Glossybox always include a generous amount of full sized products and the total value always beats the actual monthly subscription cost so it’s a great affordable way to discover products from well known and new brands.
