July Glossybox 2013| The Seaside Splash

The time has come again when we enter a new month and remember a new Glossybox will be issued. I just get so excited to try new luxury products and just the sheer suspense of what I will receive each month. In Julys edition, its a Seaside Splash with a contents that well compliments this summer theme. In tribute to the beautiful weather I have 'snap-shotted' the products in the garden for a more summery, holiday vibe.

Such a cute box!

 OK, lets be honest this box is far to nice to chuck out so it will sit my bathroom to sort bits and bobs! Anyway onto the products, below is the collection of what I received and I can tell you now I will be using everything in this box which is rare, as some months I just cant get on with products or I just wouldn't use some. They've hit the nail on the head though this month, so here goes.

 Anatomicals| Spray Misty For Me Facial Spritz

 Now, normally I'm not a fan of face mists as I have been taking extra care of my skin recently and some mists can actually be a contradiction and dehydrate the skin, however I figured to use it only a few times a week on hot days isn't the end of the world and short term refreshment won't kill me. The peppermint scent just makes it that more refreshing and cools the skin instantly but no long term changes. I have tried some of Anatomicals products before, they haven't necessarily wowed me but just generically good. But in terms of a summer face spritz for instant refreshments and revitalisation, this does really well. (Not to sure about the random Clint Eastwood image on the back, but hey-ho!)

 Alterna Haircare| Bamboo Style Boho Waves Tousled Texture Mist
Well apart from the title of this product being a total tongue twister, this product is really great. For naturally wavy 'beach look' locks this is brill. As well giving a great effect it adds texture, shine and volume to the hair and also smell incredible. It's similar to a salt spray for example the Toni and Guy one or the Salt Spray by TIGI Catwalk but this does the job just as well! On the hot days in the summer I tend to refrain from using hot tools on my hair to create specific waves or curls, but with a spritz of a salt spray is lot more kinder to the hair and equally gives a lovely effect. A girls must have in her beach bag.

Ciate London| Paint Pot
Now no summer seaside essential list would be complete without the perfect nail varnish. I have having a summery colour on my nails which I have mentioned a million times previous to this post. However this tops them all off. I have heard great things about this range and hoped this would be true as reflecting on the price I hoped it would.  Its a beautiful coral pink shade which in all fairness I have a lot of but the formula is so much nicer and smoother on the nail. The brush it self is thicker so one stroke and pretty much have the nail covered; 2 coats is all that is needed and fast drying just makes it a bonus. Not to mentioned the cutest packaging ever. I definitely will be repurchasing some other colours from the range, very impressed.

 Sleek Makeup| Pout Paint
A pop of colour on lip is nothing to hide from in the summer, bright red or coral lips are so Summer 2013. As I personally haven't a slightly weird lip shape bold colour sometimes look odd if my application and liner work isn't right. However that won't stop me from using these because they are awesome. I always hear great things about Sleek, not to mention they are such affordable prices but the quality is impeccable. Lip stains frighten me a little so I was apprehensive to try however I am so glad I did, both shades are amazing with such immense pigmentation with a lovely matte finish. Result!, as I'm not one for lip 'glossiness'. Application is so easy with brush or your finger, but even a lip liner isn't necessary because this will not budge, not even after numerous drinks. It is that strong! Pinkini, ( the pink shade) is just lovely, real bubble gum pink and Lava a bright orange shade for the more brave of us girlies. However you can choose the strength you desire in both and little product leave a sweet hint of colour where a lot gives such a bold statement lip, its totally personal preference. Oh and so so so easy to remove, bit of Bioderma Make Up remover and BAM back to normal! Absolutely love these!

^ERM BARGAIN!

Coola Organic Suncare| Classic Sunscreen
Now everyday no matter what I'm doing I will put a sunscreen on if the weather is hot and sunny, as too many people risk facing the sun without protecting their skin and we all know the risks of sun exposure, you don't need me to tell you that! As well as sun protection it also moisturises, tones and minimises pores which is a must! It is said to have anti ageing benefits as well reduce inflammation and balance moisture. It's a like a miracle in a tube! It also smells awesome, with scents or cucumber, orange, linseed oils and evening primose! A must have on those sunny days.
