Eve's Balm, Vera Valenti L’ombre a Paupiere Maragrita, Lipcote,
GlossyBox Lipstick in Glossy Pink via GlossyBox*
What with the Olympics just finishing (sobsob! Why can't they just go on forever) this month's box is themed around 'international superstars' - great products from different nations across the globe. Onto the products inside!
All For Eve 'Eve's Balm' is a multi-purpose balm for nourishing dry skin. I love the packaging - simple and cute and great for on the go as it has a little mirror inside. I love the scent too but can't put my finger on it!
DHC Deep Cleansing Oil (from Japan) is a water-soluble cleanser that I can't wait to try! Going to save it for my travels. I've heard great stuff about this so am really looking forward to using it.
The Vera Valentia palette (from Spain) isn't something I'd necessarily pick up - four green eyeshadows?! - but I'm sure I'll get some use out of it. I really hate the packaging of this, it looks so dated and really unappealing.
Lipcote (from the UK!) is a product most people have heard of, I've used it before a couple of times and I must say it works so it's handy to have another bottle.
Alessandro Pro White Nail Polish (from Germany) is a blue-tinged clear nail polish to lessen the appearance of yellow nails. I use false nails 99% of the time but will be testing this out on my toes. Really interesting concept though!
The GlossyBox lipstick looks a lovely colour (a pretty dusky rose pink), although I haven't used it yet. It's one of those suits-all shades so anyone who gets it in their box should be able to work with it!
Overall I think this is a great all-round box as there's skincare, cosmetics and a nail product in here this month. And all the products are going to get used which is obviously value for money! What do you think of this month's box?
This months box looks more appealing of the previous months boxes. I unsubscribed a few months ago, and boxes like this make me wonder if I should sign up again.. I wish feel uniques box was still around!!

I had a similar box to you but apart form the all about eve I got some purple ImPress nails which I am very happy with.
ReplyDeleteI will be posting about it on my blog tomorrow - https://allthingsbeautymake-upandshopping.blogspot.com
I got the same box :). The smell of the Eve balm is something we've had before, but I can't put my finger on it either. Initially I thought Rose?
ReplyDeleteI have the same box as you! Liked everything apart from the lipcote. I wonder if all lip-coats made with the same formula.

I really like the lipstick which I was surprised about after the not so great Glossybox blush brush! I've just reviewed the box too :)

Im pretty sure that eyeshadow palette is the same brand as the ones they sell in the 1euro shops in Spain!! Theyre so naff. I go to Spain often and that brand is sold in all the cheapo shops, im sure! xx
ReplyDeleteI think the Eve's balm smells like turkish delight!
ReplyDeleteI think this month's box is super useable, unlike some other months...

I really miss this old Glossybox set up. Lust Have It took over GB a few months back here in Australia and it went downhill. All I got was facial things (different brands of the same products for 4 months in a row it got boring fast) and a lot of paperwork of cards of brands and stuff.
ReplyDeleteI did like the samples of Marc Jacobs, but that was it. They come in little coloured bags now, and with so many of the same things month after month and no more rewards program (that I can find) I unsubbed. So disappointing as I only subbed first off was your blog. Its a shame that the old glossybox has now failed miserably.
I'll just live vicariously through you.

I felt the same way about those spanish eyeshadows. They seemed like a crappy 'filler' product. I love Glossybox but it is so hit and miss.

Thanks for sharing!! In my box I didn't get half of what you got here... Though I wish I did get that cleansing oil... xx
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a really good box! x
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get my box! If I get these products I will be happy :) Although I agree with you about the packaging of the eyeshadow palette! Great review, now following xx

Got the same box as you..and I actually hated it! Just can't see myself using any of it with the exception of the All for Eve lip balm. X
ReplyDeletegood box xx

My mum still subscribes to this and she's been disappointed since march - this one looks a bit better though - although wouldn't be enough for me to subscribe again.
ReplyDeleteJoliebox is wonderful though - still haven't been disappointed.
I tried the lipstick and didn't get on with it, it wasn't my shade and had a really patchy consistency. And I agree with the eyeshadow, HATE the packaging and not keen on the green. The nude's and browns could come in useful though, although they seem really low on pigmentation when I tried them :o/
ReplyDeleteNot one of my fav boxes, but hey!
Ruth :)
Ps. I've a unique little giveaway on my blog at the mo! :)

My palette and lipstick were broken on arrival so I'm a sad Glossyboxer this month :( x
ReplyDeleteVera valenti here in spain is sold in those shops that in england you call poundland, don't think is very reliable... ;)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice combination. I use DHC cleansing oil sometimes as well. :)
ReplyDeletenice box this month! lipcote is an actual essential so that is always nice hehee :)

The products may be useful, however I don't think they can be classed as luxury samples which is how glossybox advertise their boxes. Lipcote and that 1 euro 80's looking e/s palette are not luxury in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI'd have been so disappointed with those two products!

great review, I loveed the cleanser this month! Just strated my own blog, would love for people to check it out :) xx

Glossybox looks so awesome. I don't think I can receive it in the Netherlands... Might make my boyfriends family in the USA collect them for me so every half year I can pick them up haha! Would you say Glossybox is better then MyGlam?
