I received my June 2019 glossy box, the theme this month is summer soiree and is obviously themed around summer events like barbecues, garden parties, wedding season and various other events where you would be expected to look classy and fresh faced. While the box theme was put together well and I enjoyed some of the items in the box as well as the theme, I actually found experienced my first beauty subscription problems in this box.

If you are not new to the world of beauty subscriptions then you know that with companies like, glossy box and birch box before you receive a box you are asked to provide information on your skin type, skin tone, details on your hair, ect… so that you receive products that you can actually use and so that you won’t be disappointed. In my beauty profile I provided my basic info, My skin is pale and sometimes I get dry skin, my hair is dyed and not a natural shade ect… you get the point.

Now in this box, all subscribers received a sleek make up, face form contouring palette and you receive one of two shades, light for the paler people and fair for the rest. Now despite me stating in my personal beauty profile that I am pale I received the fair shade, which left me a little annoyed because this is a product that I simply cannot use.

Now annoyance number two was the Meech and Mia eye shadow chubby stick, it looked to be a lovely shade of light pale gold, it looked promising, but it wasn’t pigmented in the slightest and by the time I had applied the product to a visible standard I felt like I had asked Freddy Krueger to itch my eye for me, it was awful and I won’t be using it again in a hurry!

The box however ,after these two terrible issues, the box was not a complete flop for me, I had three items that I was more than pleased with, I got the lovely Avant pro perfecting collagen touche Eclat Primer, which I love, I got a hair mask by Hask which I haven’t actually tried yet but really can’t wait because I’ve wanted to for a while and my absolute favourite item in this box was the modelco lipe cream matte in peachy nude because I am a lipstick junkie, I love matte liquid lips and anything like that is right up my street!

The products, my thoughts and RRP price:

Avant pro perfecting collagen touche Eclat Primer – RRP £85
It’s a wonderful primer, I can’t fault it! If I was the richest person on the earth, yes I would spend £85 on a primer but this isn’t for the penny saver, more for somebody who likes to throw their money around like confetti or is really. As a product I cannot fault it, it’s flawless in every way.

Hask deep conditioning hair treatment – RRP £2.49
I haven’t found time in my bust life to actually try this yet, so I can’t actually comment much on this product, however I have heard good things from people that have and that they are great, I can’t wait to try it and at £2.49 you can’t be robbed.

Modelco lipe creme matte – RRP £15
This was probably my favourite product in this box, I am a lip product junkie and at first glance I did not expect to like the shade, but I love it! it goes on so well and looks so pretty on, I haven’t always been a lover of a nude lip, but I bought Jeffree star baby daddy and I was a instant convert and I love this warm peachy nude shade, it’s perfect for any occasion really, it stays on wonderfully as you can see below, it survived my hot sweaty busy bar shift!

Sleek make up face form contouring palette – RRP £9.99
This product was unusable due to them giving me a palette that was “fair” rather than “light” so I can’t comment on this, although I will say for the size of the product you could probably get something better value for money.

Meech and Mia eye shadown chubby stick – RRP £12.99
Also known as the product from hell! I hated this and I don’t think I will use it again in a hurry, as previously stated, it was like asking Freddy Krueger to itch my eye for me. It’s got that 2000’s scratchy eyeliner feel to it and we are so over that time period to be putting up with product like that, not worth the money at all.

Over all I enjoyed some of the box, I think that glossy box need to maybe pay more attention to their customers beauty profiles because I would have had much more enjoyment from the box if there was just one more product I could have made use of and enjoyed, I hope my next box is fabulous and I’m still keeping my subscription, the primer and the lip product really saved this box for me and the mask is just a nice treat in the box, I still got good value for money when you look at the products I did enjoy so I guess I’m looking at this box as a person who is a “glass half full” person rather than half empty, I’ve messaged glossy box on facebook to question why I got a item that was fair rather than light and I’ll have to see what their customer service is like with that matter.
