My July 'Seaside Splash' Glossybox

Hello Lovelies,

I received my July Glossybox last weekend and so today I thought I would share with you what was inside. 


The theme for this month is Seaside Splash and the Leaflet you get states that the products chosen for this month’s box are ‘current summer must-haves’. The actual box is a gorgeous turquoise/blue with a coral and starfish seaside design, and this theme is also on the tissue paper inside. I really like when Glossybox have special edition boxes like this and I think one is lovely for summer.

In my Glossybox this month I got.....


Alterna Haircare Bamboo Style Boho Waves Tousled Texture Mist - 25ml
The Glossybox Leaflet states this gives you ‘just back from the beach waves’. I haven’t tried any products like this before, but have looked at them in the past and like the idea of them. My hair doesn’t curl very easily, but I will definitely try this and am excited to see if it works, it smells really nice, so if it doesn't curl my hair at least it will make it smell nice.

Inecto Pure Coconut Refreshing Dry Shampoo - 150ml
I wasn’t so pleased when I saw this inside, because I am not a fan of dry shampoo, although this is a full size product, and I think it is always nice when you do receive full size products in Glossyboxes. I do love the smell of coconut and it always reminds me of summer holidays, so I will give this a try and hopefully it will change my opinion on dry shampoos.

Coola Face Organic Mineral Sunscreen SPF 20 - 7ml
This is a sunscreen for your face and I was happy to see this in the box, and with how lovely the weather has been here at the moment I will definitely use this. After reading about it I am looking forward to trying it even more, because it states that it ‘provides complete UVA/UVB protection and fights free radicals, while soothing, toning and minimizing pores’, which I think is a really nice bonus for a sun cream. 

Ciaté London Paint Pot in Island Hopping – 13.5ml
This is a full size Paint Pot and I was really excited to see this in my Glossybox. The shade I got is a gorgeous red/dark orange colour with lots of gold shimmer and just the sort of colour I love for summer especially on my toes. I have only tried one other Ciaté Paint Pot before which I liked, so I am sure I will like this. I also think these bottles are so cute with the little satin bow on the front.


Ila Spa Face Oil for Glowing Radiance - 1.75ml
The Glossybox Leaflet states this is a cult product, that gives your face a healthy glow ‘with visibly improved texture and radiance’. I have not heard of this brand before, but I am a fan of Clarins Face Treatment Oil, so will definitely try this and see if it lives up to its claims. It smells really lovely and reminds me of the being in spa, which I think is always nice for a skincare product. Although the full size product is £75.00 for 30ml so I am not sure I would repurchase this unless it was really amazing.

Overall I am pleased with what I received in my Glossybox this month although after looking at what other people received I would have liked to got the Anatomicals Spray Misty For Me or the Nip and Fab Spot Fix or Shine Fix instead of the Inecto Pure Coconut Refreshing Dry Shampoo.
