August 2016 GLOSSYBOX - Unboxing and First Impressions

I just can't tell you how much I love receiving beauty boxes. You get surprised by new products and brands every month and some of them turn into your favorites for life! I got my August 2016 GLOSSYBOX (USA) on time but I fell ill so was not able to share it with you guys, but here you go now!

*GLOSSYBOX is a monthly beauty subscription box and includes five to six luxury surprise beauty items shipped to your door. (unfortunately not available in Pakistan). I get these shipped to my US address and I am totally in love with this box. It's like a birthday surprise every month, who doesn't love that!

About GLOSSYBOX:

Every month you receive 5 to 6 quality products (deluxe as well as full size) for just $21 per month. The total value of the products per month will always fluctuate and is considerably much higher than the subscription rate, that's the best thing.

WHATS IN THE BOX?
The box (contents may vary slightly) includes:

1. Too Faced Mascara Melt Off Cleansing Oil Waterproof Mascara Dissolver (0.04oz) ($2.96)

2.Trifle Cosmetics Lip Parfait Buttery Lip Cream ($18.95)

6. Invisibobble hair ties ($8)

1. Too Faced Mascara Melt Off Cleansing Oil Waterproof Mascara Dissolver (0.04oz) ($2.96)

This is such a crazy awesome product. I didn't know something like this exists, but it does, yaas! I am mostly happy with makeup removal but it always comes down to the stubborn mascara. At times it just doesn't budge and being aggressive leads to less lashes, no one wants that! Mascara Melt-off prevents us from destroying our lashes. It's an extremely effective yet gentle remover (tried and tested) which removes all kinds of mascara, waterproof or otherwise. It dissolves the mascara after application while gently conditioning your lashes.

How to Use (as per product instructions):

1. Use the precision wand to coat lashes base-to-tip 

2. Leave on for at least 60 seconds to allow the product to penetrate and condition lashes 

3. Sweep away the dissolved mascara with a damp cloth or makeup wipe

4. Wink!

2. Trifle Cosmetics Lip Parfait Buttery Lip Cream ($18.95) 

How can you NOT fall in love with the whimsical packaging of this brand! It's cute and beyond. However, the beautifully designed product is not the only good part about Trifle Cosmetic's Lip Parfait buttery Lip Creams.

I got Guilty Pug. A peachy coral shade great for fresh, everyday look. The buttery soft lip creams are great lip balm, moisturizing your lips, keeping them hydrated all day long thanks to the vitamin E infusion. The creams give medium to full coverage keeping your lips fresh and plump for long hours without getting dull or feathery.

3. De Bruyère After Sun Lotion (1.7fl.oz) ($12)

I don't go out in the sun or the beach much (which I really would love too) but this will definitely come in handy when I plan to take a trip to soak by the sea. The lotion is specially made to nourish and protect the skin after it has been exposed in the sun. This prevents from sun damage.

Sensitive skin, like mine, will love this product but I will need to try it to actually experience it. It has a very light, non-greasy formula which I like and smells delicious, of Monoi.

4. Wella Oil Reflections Smoothing Oil (1fl.oz) ($20)

The first thing that came to mind when I saw this was "Meh, my hair already flat I won't need this", becuase it read smoothing oil. However, upon research, I realized it's used for making colored hair look more glossy and vibrant. Another innovative product in the box! I recently got my hair colored and I get it colored often so this will definitely help. You apply a few drops to damp hair. It feels light and doesn't weigh down your hair either.
As per brand: "High, glossy reflections: specifically designed to enhance the shine of Wella Professionals Color, making it up to 86% more reflective."

5. Borghese Fango Active Mud for Face & Body (1oz) ($4.50)

This mask claims so much my mind got boggled. If all they say is true then this is a must have. I haven't tried it yet but will do a mini review on Insta and snap chat soon.

As per brand, the mud mask is rich in minerals and perfect for everyday purification, which also means you can use it every day which is not common with mud masks. It not only purifies but also minimizes pores. Other than exfoliation and skin clarification it reduces fine lines. Your skin will feel radiant and refreshed after the use of this mask.

6.Invisibobble hair ties ($8)

These cute little hair ties/bands are actually also available in Pakistan. Yaay! They are hair friendly. They don't break or tangle your hair, neither does it lead to that nasty wavy shape the normal hair band creates after you take it off. You can also wear it as a funky wristband when not using it.

It looks like a mini telephone cord and this unique texture allows allowing for the hair to be held strongly without leaving a kink and not exerting pressure. Say bye bye to headaches due to ponytails!
