August GlamBox Review

As online buying trends in the Middle East have accelerated in the past 5 years or so, the GlamBox comes as the Middle East's equivalent of the GlossyBox or the Birchbox. The concept is a monthly beauty box delivered to your doorstep. The box will often contain samples (4-5) and/or full sized beauty products (hair, body, face etc) from an assortment of hand picked brands for the subscriber to try.

Having received my first box in July filled with Givenchy (!!!) products, I was excited to get my hands on the August box. It contained the following products:

L’Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil (Nourishing Oil Replacement) 125ml 

This has got to be the least exciting product in this box for me as I'm not a huge fan of oil replacement products. I have used Pantene and Wella in the past and found that they made my hair extremely oily even after washes and gave me lots of dandruff. That said, I am going to give this a try and see how it goes.

Bliss Body Butter in Blood Orange and White Pepper (paraben free) 50ml

This smells D-I-V-I-N-E! Anyone who knows me knows how much I love body and hand creams. This has a very strong and distinct citrus scent that lingers on your skin for ages. I haven't tried any Bliss products in the past so excited about this.

Bobby Brown Longwear Eye Pencil in ‘Jet’

Bobbi Brown has got to be a make up brand that hardly ever disappoints with its super pigmented, long lasting and generally great quality products. I have only just swatched this and it was super soft and not easily smudged. The test still lies in testing this on my eyes since I have oily skin and pencil products usually smear very easily.

Flower By Kenzo L’Elixir (Eau De Parfum) 4ml

Saving the best for the last, this has definitely got to be my favourite product from this month's box. Incidentally, I haven't tried Kenzo parfumed before and this was the perfect way to get introduced to them. I always prefer either really fresh floral fragrances for summer or slightly musky ones as winter approaches, never gravitating towards fruity or sweet ones at all. 

This one has the perfect combination of powdery and floral tones with wild hawthorne, rose, violet, white musk and vanilla amongst some of the ingredients. 

With the perfect size to fit in a bag, I'm really looking forward carrying this everywhere.

Phew! That was an in-depth look into the August GlamBox and what I thought about it. Would love to hear your thoughts on the products and some reviews if you have used any of them before.
