Glossybox | July 2016

Hello My Lovelies,

I hope you are all doing well and are having a wonderful weekend so far. I have been backwards and forwards the last few weeks with being out the country on a few occasions, work commitments and overall daily life but I am excited to be back and I have so much to share with you all. If things are a little quiet over on my blog you can always follow my daily snap vlogs over on Snapchat (@SophiaMeola) as I'm always posting behind the scenes snaps and rambling on about something or other haha. I took to Twitter not too long ago and create a poll to see what you all wanted to see on the blog next and you all chose July's Glossybox! I have been a fan of Glossybox for as long as I can remember and I always light up with joy when a new one lands on my doorstep each month!


It's official, summer has finally arrived and Glossybox is celebrating with an edit of seaside inspired beauty products. The 'Life's a Beach' July Glossybox features an exclusive 'glow-giving' juice recipe from Wendy Rowe's new book, Eat Beautiful, as well as a collection of SPF beauty products, waterproof wonders, tanning treats and tools that will take you from beach to chic in seconds!

Utan and Tone Nourishing Night Creme | £12.50

As life gets busier, our beauty routines are getting easier with innovative products that work while you sleep. This clever concoction combines all your needs from a night cream (think hydrating hyaluronic acid, a cocktail of vitamins and potent anti-oxidants to help skin repair) with the golden colour you'd expect from a gradual tan. Plus, it won't stain your pillow (bonus!) and the odourless formula means you won't wake up to a biscuity-tan smell in the morning. This is a completely new brand to me but I can tell I am going to enjoy using this product more and trying out other products from the line already!

Soft & Gentle Hair Minimising Anti Perspirant | £2.99

As well as keeping you fresh in the heat, this anti-perspirant from Soft & Gentle works double duty by helping combat unwanted underarm hair. It contains a hair growth minimiser called Keliosoft, a natural plant molecule that reduces the protein that stimulates hair growth. The result? Pesky underarm hairs become thinner and grow at a slower rate, leaving skin smoother after just eight weeks. Simply use this product like a normal anti-perspirant, however, be careful not to apply to any sore or broken skin. Soft & Gentle have been a brand that I have know for quite some time so it is great to see them take the next step and create this innovative product.

Hawaiian Tropic Island Berry Lip Gloss | £6.99

Hawaiian Tropic is a brand I have known of for quite some time now and I swear by their After Sun Creme is Island Mango - it nourishes the skin amazingly and smells good enough to eat! Be warned: the tropical scent of this lip gloss instantly transports you to a tropical paradise! While the non-stick formula provides 12-hour moisturisation, advanced UVA and UVB protection means this is all you need to perfect, and more importantly, protect lips from the sun's rays - which is why it comes with the Skin Cancer Foundation's recommendation! The shade looks quite intense in the tube, however, once applied it does become a lot sheerer - it just adds that perfect amount of colour to enhance your natural look.

Hairon De-tangle Brush | £6.99

This ergonomically designed brush fits into the palm of your hand (and in your handbag!) to carefully detangle wet hair without snagging and tugging which in turn causes damage. It is also great when taming natural hair or extensions that need a gentle touch. I just love the pastel blue / turquoise shade as it screams summer and it is the perfect size for a girl like me who is always on the go! It is also slightly cheaper than the Original Tangle Teazer, so if you wanted to give a different brand a try then this is the perfect alternative for you.

Blank Canvas F20 Flat Brush | £11.95

I am a huge fan of buffing style face brushes and they have been my go to for applying foundation for as long as I can remember (apart from when I am using my beauty blender). The short, dense synthetic fibres make this brush ideal for applying liquid, cream or powder makeup - the perfect multi-tasking brush! Blank Canvas is a brand I have never personally tried before but I have heard so much about them throughout the beauty community. The brush itself is beautifully designed and I love the gold accents and pink contrasts!

I hope you all enjoyed taking a peek inside this month's Glossybox. Overall, this month's box has been one of my favourites and I was so pleased to see 5 full-size products in the box itself. I love how you have everything you need to get summer ready and I don't think there was one product that I was disappointed with. In total this months box works out around £34.43 and for a £12.95* (including p&p) you are definitely getting your money's worth. After diving into this month's box I am now super excited to see what Glossbox have in store for us next month. It is their 5th Birthday and they have been working on a special collaboration! I have seen a sneak peek and I think you are all going to LOVE it so keep your eyes peeled!

  1. This actually looks like a really good month for Glossybox - there's not a single product there I'd be disappointed with, which I always used to be about a year ago or so when I used to subscribe to them. Loving the theme and your photos are beaut, too. I might be tempted to go back to them, after reading this...
