Glossy Box #3 July

(L-R) Illamasqua Lipgloss, Weleda Body Oil, Ciate Nail Enamel, XEN-TAN, Nouveau Lashes

It's that time of month again, and with all of the Glossy Box community left a bit baffled after their last box, we were extremely hesitant to receive the July box.  Luckily for us, Team Glossy took our points on board and have really redeemed themselves this month.  

First of all I was extremely excited to see that four out of my five products were in fact full size.  Secondly, they included two brands which I have really wanted to try, Illamasqua and XEN-TAN.  They kept a familiar theme to last month, this time it was 'Ready-Set-Glow'.  

#1 Ciate 
CIATE NAIL ENAMEL IN KITTEN HEELS
How cute are the bottles? Packaging aside, I'm a fan of nail enamels but when it comes to red I'm never too sure.  I like that this has a slight shimmer to it though.  I guess we'll see! 

NOUVEAU LASHES
I go through phases when it comes to lashes, so I'm looking forward to trying them out.  I think these would be best for a night out as they are quite voluminous and would make too much of an 'Essex' impact if worn during the day.  

ILLAMASQUA SHEER LIPGLOSS IN EXPLODE
I've never tried any of this brands products, although I've heard great things about them.  The only downfall I found whilst looking at this product was that it's extremely sticky.  

XEN-TAN DEEP BRONZE LUXE
I'm really excited to try this, although I prefer fake tanners where you can see what you're applying, to avoid streaks.  The Mama Mio body scrub from last months box will come in handy when applying this!

WELEDA BODY OIL
This is the only product I was disappointed with.  I have fairly oily skin and think that oil might make it worse.  I will still give this a try as you should never judge a book by its cover and all that jazz!  

So, what am I most excited to try? 
1.  XEN-TAN/Illamasqua
2. Ciate Nail Enamel
3. Nouveau Lashes
4. Weleda Body Oil

That's all on my first impressions, check back in two weeks time where I'll be posting product reviews on everything seen in this months GlossyBox!

  1. i think we got the same things except the lashes i got werent quite as full on as yours, but i havent really worn lashes before (they look strange on me, i havent got the technique) so they will probably be better for me to try :D

  2. I'm so with you on the point you made on the oil, i also have oily skin and dread putting anything like this to make it worse. But do let us know if it improves your skin. Mine's a total mess at the moment! :(
