So after a brief stay in Johannesburg, I came home (to Beautiful Cape Town) to my August Glossybox. Perfect timing as Johannesburg has a negative effect on my skin. Its like a scene out of the animated movie Rango where he's first exposed to sunlight in the desert. His skin dries and peels off. With me I just dry up like a bag of safari dried fruit, constantly thirsty, nasal passage stays blocked and the odd nose bleed occurs.
Enough about that...Glossybox Sisley Limited Edition box
Lyslait Cleansing Milk with White Lily - It's been a while since I used a 3-step cleansing routine. I'm lazy like that. What I love about this cleanser is how moisturizing it is. You just plop some onto your face, no water needed, work the product into your skin. Gently removing all traces of makeup. Next you wipe off any excess with a cotton pad, leaving your skin silky to touch. Perfect for my dry skin.
Floral Toning Lotion Alcohol Free - I forgot how refreshing a toner makes you feel and this doesn't dry out my skin. It contains soothing and softening extracts of Rose, Cornflower and Witch Hazel. Dabbed onto a cotton pad, it removes any last traces of makeup and leaves you with a clean canvas. Safe to use even round the contour of your eyes. Love the soft pleasant scent too.
Restorative Facial Cream - ♥ 10/10 from me. The cherry on top. It's moisturizing as its rich in soothing shea butter, love the consistency and it leaves my skin silky smooth. If I could afford and stick to this 3-step routine I'd never wear makeup again. This really saved me from the damage caused by JHB weather. I been mixing it with a little bit of foundation for a more sheer coverage and I love the dewy finish.
Eye and Lip Contour Balm - ♥♥♥ The first eye product that hasn't left me in tears. I haven't used this as often but I have high hopes for it. Said to prevent the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, fight skin dryness and under-eye puffiness. Also might cause a slight tingling sensation but I haven't experienced any.
Facial Mask with Linden Blossom - I've mentioned before how much my skin loves cream masks, crucial for my dry skin. My skin just soaks it all in and feeds on all its goodness. The Linden softens and soothes the skin. This mask has to stay put for 15-20min before being rinsed off with lukewarm water. Perfect to use whilst soaking in a hot bath. Bliss
Anti-aging Lift Foundation in shade 20 Soft Rose - Unfortunately all boxes contained this one shade and I'm too caramel for Soft Rose.
I've built up quite a nice mini skincare collection since joining Glossybox from the very beginning that I've since stopped purchasing my regular face wash. Thought to myself why spend more money when I have these amazing luxury skincare products every month. I've become quite the budget queen of late. Saving makes me happy.
Orders for September Glossybox is now open!
