Inside My January Glossy Box....
Green Tea Primer
Being a Make Up Artist I can not stress the importance of primer enough!.... a) for flawless looking skin and b) for make up that lasts! That's why I was super excited to see an Evelyn Iona Cosmetics Primer in my January Glossy Box! This primer, in particular, is Paraben and Cruelty-Free, which is perfect for those of you that are looking for more Ethical Cosmetics and are concerned about the animal welfare behind your products! The green tea extract and avocado oil in this primer will nourish and protect your skin beautifully, reduce the appearance of fine lines and smooth over all those open pores for a more flawless complexion! HURRAY! RRP £22.00
Moroccan Rose Superfood Facial Oil (Travel Size)
I am obsessed with cosmetics that contain rose at the moment. It is an age-old ingredient that not only smells divine but rose essential oil has antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties. This means rose makes a great skincare ingredient and it can be used to help treat acne, breakouts, rosacea and eczema. Moroccan Rose is a potent source of Vit A & C and other antioxidants essential to help fight free radicals, so this facial oil is absolutely packed full of skin-enriching ingredients which will help rejuvenate, renew and protect your complexion! Just 3 drops of your Moroccan Rose Superfood Facial Oil by Dr Botanicals will leave your skin feeling hydrated and supple all day long! RRP £55.00 (Full size).
Nail and Cuticle Energizer
People often neglect their nails, prioritising getting their hair done or favouriting other beauty treatments. This time of year your nails are likely to really need some TLC! I think looking after your nails is really important. I work with my hands so they are always in view of my clients and generally I feel so much better when my nails are done. I always feel shabby and run down when they are in rubbish condition. Nails are much like eyebrows, when tidy, although small details they really make you look so much more well kept. Nail Medic brings you their reparative Nail and Cuticle Oil! A totally delish blend of vitamins, plant extracts, revitalising eucalyptus (which is another one of my FAVOURITE ever smells!) and lastly soothing lavender! If you soft, brittle or damaged nails and/or dry cuticles massage a few drops of this magic oil in and around your nail beds for instant hydration and stronger nails! RRP £5.99
Cream Blush
I personally love cream blush for my more natural, no fuss make up looks. You can pop it on quickly and easily with your fingers to create a pretty, subtle flush. This Cream Blush by Apicia can be applied lightly or you can build the coverage. It's a gorgeous deep, honey pink which will suit most skin tones. Not only does it look good on your skin this product is also rich in organic bee pollen which will nourish your skin no end! RRP £22.00
Beauty Beneath Supplements
Do you think you get everything your skin needs from your diet? If the answer is no then the Boots Beauty Beneath supplements may be just what you need! These capsules contain Lycopene, Biotin, Vitamins C & E, Zinc, Marine, Collegan, Omegas 3 & 6. There are lots of professionals that would disagree whether you should, or shouldn't take supplements but like anything I think to do your research (reading from unbiased sources), then make an educated decision and what it all really comes down to is trial and error. Everyone is different what works for one person may not for another.
So Why Supplements....
when you apply products to your skin they only penetrate so deep ( FYI serums or ampules penetrate your skin deeper than ordinary moisturisers), so these days many people are opting to take supplements to help the condition of their skin. These supplements are designed to boost your collegan production, help fade fine lines and wrinkles while leaving your skin feeling softer than ever. I am a firm believer in anything like supplements you need to take them for a good period of time, same with new skincare routine! I always recommend 6-8 weeks to see a difference. This is the only way you are going to see the true benefits of a product. This box contains 60 capsules and you take 2 per day, so a box costing £39.99 will last you 1 month. The capsules are soft which is great for anyone that struggles to swallow hard tablets!
What I thought of this Glossy Box....
I have had a few Glossy Box's now and I have to say I have been impressed with every one of them so far! In terms of its contents, I am particularly excited to see what results I get from my Dr Botanicals Moroccan Rose Superfood Facial Oil over the next month or so and I am already really impressed with my Evelyn Green Tea Primer. The consistency of the primer initially felt quite creamy and rich in my fingers but this left my skin feeling super nourished! The nice thing about this primer is once applied it set feeling really lightweight on my skin. I am going to give all the items in my box a good go and I will keep you guys posted on my thoughts!... Overall I was really impressed with this particular Glossy Box and for £10 the standard and sizes of the products inside are an absolute bargain!
