September Glossybox

My September Glossybox was crammed full of wonderful treats, quite a few brands that I have been dying to try, two different fragrances (one of my favourite parts of beauty boxes) and even a rather trendy gold cuff bangle!

Prada Candy by Prada – this is a fragrance I have been wanting to try for a while! The packaging is so pretty and pink! The fragrance is quite subtle in my opinion, feminine and sophisticated. A good fragrance for during the day as it is not too over powering, with top notes of caramel and warm vanilla tones, which I love.
CH L’eau by Carolina Herrera – out of the two fragrances in this months box this is my favourite! All though the fragrance is said to be flowery on the nose, it is not overly floral. I found it rather fresh with quite a spicy finish, more of a romantic evening out fragrance – so pretty! {Mr loves it too – I may have to hint for it to appear in my Christmas stocking!}
Sans Soucis Deep Moist Depot – this two-phase moisture concentrate by Sans Soucis combines botanical ingredients with enriching minerals. It is suitable for all skin types and can be applied to cleansed skin daily. You are required to shake well before use to combine the two-phase ingredients into an emulsion.
L’Occitane Almond Milk Concentrate – this creamy formula is suitable for all over body use. It combines almond protein and soft silicium to help support collage synthesis, into a wonderfully rich milk concentrate to help firm and tone the skin.
Salon Care Moisture Boost Serum – this locally manufactured serum uses Hyaluronic Acid to boost the skin and help retain moisture. I think that a serum should be a part of your daily skin care regime, especially as you start getting a bit older. I have used another product with Hyaluronic Acid and found it really firms your skin and gives it an overall glow. My recommendation is to use a serum in the evening after cleansing.
4 Flavour Gold Cuff – a great treat in this months box and bang on trend as well! Gold is a definite must for the season and a cuff is a great addition to your accessory collection for summer.

Sisley Limited Edition August Glossybox

On Friday I received my Sisley Limited Edition Glossybox to review, perfect timing for a bit of weekend pampering! I was rather excited about trying out these products as Sisley is a brand that I have not used before.

My Sisley Limited Edition August Glossybox contained the following products:

Cleansing Milk with White Lily – A creamy cleansing emulsion that dissolves the toughest make-up products, whilst preserving the balance of dry, delicate skin. I am loving this cleansing milk, it is very gentle and nourishing on your skin and it removes all traces of make-up, without drying out your skin.
Floral Toning Lotion Alcohol Free – Toner designed to perfectly remove make-up and keep skin looking clear and fresh. The toning lotion leaves your skin feeling wonderfully refreshed and silky smooth, ready to apply your day or night cream.
Facial Mask with Linden Blossom – A very refreshing cream mask, sheer bliss for dehydrated skin. Relaxes and smooths the skin, recommended for sensitive skins. This is definitely something I need as I have exceptionally sensitive skin, I have not tried it yet but will be sure to let you know what it is like.
Eye and Lip Contour Balm – A balm specifically formulated to effectively address the appearance of fine lines, dry skin and under-eye puffiness. Yay this is perfect for me, all the late nights and early mornings are resulting in very puffy eyes! The balm is wonderfully calming on the delicate skin under your eyes.
Restorative Facial Cream – recommended for repairing the damage caused by continued exposure to the elements, such as sun and wind, helping the skin to recover resilience. I am hoping that this cream will restore the moisture to my skin, as it has become very dehydrated during the cold winter months.
Anti-ageing Lift Foundation – A 2-in-1 formula which instantly smooths the skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The skin is left refined, blemish free with a luminous even complexion. This was an added extra to the box, a bonus product if you like. It sounds amazing but was only provided by Sisley in ‘soft rose’, which is probably a bit light for my skin tone, so I will be passing this on to a friend.
