This month’s GLOSSYBOX goes global with their “International Superstars” featuring products from all around the world.
I really love this concept as not only does It tie In with the London 2012 Olympics (which are sadly over now :( Boo) but it also allows subscribers to try different products from other countries and widen our beauty minds. (you know become more cultural and stuff)
So without further ado lets see which of these “International Superstars” takes home the gold! (ahem, yes I am that sad)
My August Box included:
1.Alessansro: Full size £7.85, 10ml (Germany)
2.DHC: Full size £18.50, 200ml (Japan)
3.Broadway Nails: Full size from £7.99, 24 nails (U.S.A)
4.Vera Valenti: RRP £3.85 (Spain)

| Two Nails products this month |
Alessandro - Pro White
‘Optically brightening effect nail polish with anti-yellowing formula for radiant white and gleaming nails’
My nails easily get stained by nail polishes so i’m excited to try this out! I need to get me some radiance. Once i’ve tried it out i shall report back to you all.
Broadway Nails - imPress Press-On Manicure
‘imPress by Broadway Nails is the revolutionary way to apply polish! Simply peel off, press on, and done!’
I was excited to see press on nails on my card but once I opened the box I was a little disappointed. The colour isn’t something I would ever choose for my nails! (for those wondering I got the shade 170 Velvet Rope) It’s too light for me! I prefer my to have dark purple nail polish so i doubt i will ever use these. However it has made me want to take a trip down to boots and see what other colours they have to offer - seeing as i am lazy and have no patience whatsoever, it seems to be a painless and timesaving way of making your nails look ‘done’ without the effort (according to the packaging these are meant to last ‘up to a week’)
What are your thoughts on Press-On Nails?
DHC - DHC Deep Cleansing Oil
‘This revolutionary water-soluble cleanser is better than any other make-up remover you’ve ever tried’
I haven’t actually tried this yet - I am a tad lazy when It comes to taking my make-up off and just normally just a make-up remover wipe (I’ve run out of my beloved Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish) Although It seems like a product I would use at some point in the near future.
Vera Valenti - L’ombre à Paupère Margarita
‘An eyeshadow palette offering a selection of ten different colours with an applicator included.’
This for me was the most disappointing product in this month’s box. The colour’s weren’t greatly pigmented (although I am not surprised at it only costs £3.85) and It seems to be an odd and cheap design. I doubt I will get any use of this at all! I don't even think I would ever use green eyeshadow! Not impressed!
Lipcote
‘The original Lipstick Sealer and secret of long lasting, feather fade and water resistant lipstick.
The product made me laugh as soon as a saw it! It’s something my grandma used to use!! Basically It’s a lipstick sealer! You pop it over the top to add some extra lasting power to your lips (obviously) HAHA. I don’t tend to wear lipstick so i’m not sure how much use i’ll get out of it! Nevertheless it’s always a product that good to have on stand-by.
GLOSSYBOX - GLOSSYBOX Lipstick in Glossy Pink
‘Professional beauty lipstick for soft and glamorous lips with a luminous, long-lasting colour.’
Speaking of lipstick’s GLOSSYBOX decided to include their own in this box!
The shade is Glossy Pink and its a lovely raspberry/ rosey colour.
The lipstick has a creamy consistency and (for my lips anyway) is a your lips but pinker colour! It even has the old school lipstick scent which I adore!
Overall I don't really think I am impressed with this box. There was nothing that really stood out to me and It definitely hasn't broadened my beauty mind in terms of "International Superstars". Yet for some reason I never unsubscribe from GLOSSYBOX!
Oh well. What are your thoughts on this months GLOSSYBOX? Or even GLOSSYBOX in general?
