Glossybox July

 Apologies that this post is so late! I have no excuse really except for laziness! Anyway, this is this months Glossybox, which I, amongst  many others I've heard, was quite impressed with. The box was absolutely beautiful this month, inspired by the ocean and the contents of the box were very appropriate for the glorious weather we have been experiencing this month.

Anatomicals Spray mist for me facial spritz - This was perfect for those hot sweaty beach days this month. It's a lovely facial spritz that smells like lavender, which I do like the smell of but I also think of lavander as being more of a cozy smell so I would have rathered if the scent was slightly more refreshing.

Alterna Haircare Bamboo Style Boho Waves Tousled Texture Mist - I was quite excited to receive this because I've wanted to try out a beachy-wavy-hair mist for some time. I find that the product is very sticky once sprayed onto the hair though, which is very disappointing. I do however like the visible results it gives to my hair. My hair is quite wavy anyway, so I use this on second day hair when the waves are not quite so defined. This is what it looked like once sprayed onto the right hand side of my hair only:

And this is what it looks like sprayed all over. I promise my hair doesn't normally look quite this frizzy and dry - bad hair day!

Coola Organic Suncare Collection Coola Mineral Face SPF 20 Rose Essence Tint - This was another weather appropriate product and just the right SPF. However I haven't used this product yet because I already have another face SPF and wanted to finish that before moving on. 

Pukka Ayurveda Radiance Serum - This is supposed to be applied thinly before moisturising on top. I'm not a huge fan of this because I find the texture to be very strange - it's not heavy at all, but almost slimy - not a massive fan!

 Ciate London Paint Pot in the colour Pocket Money - I love Ciate nail polishes so I was delighted to see one in this months box. I like the colour of this as well so that's great. This applies nicely to the nails, only needing two coats to be opaque. 

All in all I was impressed by this months box and hope Glossybox continue with more great boxes like this one.

Did you get this months Glossybox? If so what did you think?

Prom

Last week I had my prom. This was an event that I have been excited for for ages, and I couldn't wait to get all dressed up! I really enjoyed my night and everyone looked lovely. It was a really nice event to say goodbye to those who wouldn't be returning to sixth form next year and also just a lovely night to enjoy with friends.

Summer trip to Greece

I recently went on holidays to Greece with three of my friends, two being twins, the twins' little sister and their mum. We went to the island Kos, and enjoyed a beautiful week away. The reason behind this holiday, for me anyway, was because we have all just finished our GCSE's and we all needed some time to relax and unwind. I didn't take many pictures of the hotel because I was too busy sunbathing! We were quite the tourists and went on a lovely three island boat tour, where we got to visit three islands on a boat (if you couldn't guess by the name of the tour!) and we also visited the ruins of a fortress, which lovely. We also visited the town a few times and experienced watching a film in an outdoor movie theater! Here are a few snaps :)

Glossybox June

Hi guys, I apologize for not posting recently, I have been extremely busy with exams, but they're almost over now so hopefully I shall be posting more frequently. I also didn't post a review of last months Glossybox because honestly, I really wasn't impressed by it at all. This one isn't fantastic either, but I thought I'd show it to you anyway.

Monu Professional Skincare Hydrating Moisturiser SPF 15 - This was the product I was most excited about seeing in my box this month. I love Monu products. This is a moisturiser that gives you coverage during the (brief) sunny periods we have here. It acts similarly to a suncream, and I quite enjoy using it, it's very thick so moisturises dry skin well and feels very fresh on the skin.

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse - This looks really nice and shimmery in the bottle, but I really didn't find it to be the same on my skin. Once applied, it's barely visible and so in my opinion isn't really worth it. I was hoping it would enhance a tan slightly, but sadly not. 

Figs & Rouge Coco Rose Lip Balm - This is quite a nice product to use. Luckily I like the taste and smell of roses. If you're not a fan, this is definitely not the product for you. It gives a nice light sheen of pink on the lips and isn't too sticky, which is great. 

MeMeMe Cosmetics Long Lasting Nail Gloss in the colour 92 Alluring - I'm not really a fan of this colour. In the summer I like to wear really bright coloured nail polish, and so this doesn't really fir my criteria. But I might get some use out of it in the Autumn/Winter. 

Helen E Cosmetics Shimmer Eye Powder - This certainly isn't a product I would use every day as it's very shimmery and sparkly, but seeing as me Prom is around the corner (yay!), I figured it would be quite pretty to use for that, so luckily I'll get some use out of it. It's quite pigmented which is always a plus and seems to hold well on the eyelid. 

Overall, I wasn't overly impressed by this months box, but it was much better compared to last months. What do you think of the box?
