August 2016 GLOSSYBOX Box Review Wrap-Up
Our August 2016 GLOSSYBOX delivered beauty treats that are perfect for weekend getaways and days in the Summer sun. First up are the bright pink invisibobble hair ties. Ponytails and buns are a couple of our go-to hair styles to beat the heat but can sometimes leave your “hair hurting.” The invisibobble spiral elastics keep your hairstyle in place without being too tight. Coming to us from France the Wella Professionals hair oil is perfect for smoothing out flyaways. It has a lightweight formula that provides shines without making your hair look oily. The smoothing oil also has a great, fresh scent.
Spending time outdoors can sometimes leave your lips feeling a little dry. The Trifle Cosmetics Lip Cream can help you keep your lips soft and moisturized. This buttery lip cream goes on smoothly (like butta!) and is infused with cocoa butter and Vitamin E. Use it alone for a softer shade or pair it with lip liner for a more intense color. Waterproof makeup is a staple for days at the beach or the pool but can often been hard to remove. The new Too Faced mascara makes it easier than ever to remove both waterproof and regular makeup. Just us the wand to brush on the mascara remover over your lashes, wait 60 seconds, then wipe off.
August’s GLOSSYBOX also had two amazing skin care products. Before hitting the beach, you can use the Borghese Body Refining polish to buff out dry areas, even out skin tone and make your skin look healthier. It has a sugar-based formula that gently exfoliates without irritating your skin. Jojoba Seed Butter in the polish will leave your skin feeling soft and smooth. If your skin is parched or damaged from being in the sun, give it a nourishing treat with the De Bruyère after sun lotion. It is made with Monoi that have been soaked in coconut oil to give your skin plenty of hydration.
