Tresemme Fresh Stat Dry Shampoo (56 g sample – full size $5.99/161 g) + Tresemme Split Remedy Sachet (9 ml samples – full size $5.99/700 ml) – I have to admit, I’m not the biggest fan of Tresemme products as I haven’t had fantastic results with them in the past, but I am a huge supporter of dry shampoo and am willing to give this one a try. The split remedy sachets will come in handy as well – my poor hair is in need of some serious TLC right now.
LouLou Tips: -Mist some dry shampoo on to give your ‘do a little sexy bedhead texture.
– Let your hair soak in this conditioner’s benefits by leaving it on for a few minutes before rinsing.
Aveeno Ultra-Calming Daily Moisturizer (FULL SIZE – $22.99) and Aveeno Positively Radiant Tinted Moisturizer (FULL SIZE – $22.99) – I love Aveeno products – you always know you’re going to get exactly what you expect with them. The Ultra-Calming lotion helps to soothe irritation due to dry skin – I wish I had this last week after spending a few hours skating outside! I’m really excited about the tinted moisturizer – I’ve been meaning to try some for a while now, and this is said to improve skin’s radiance. Bonus? Both contain SPF 30 to help protect the skin.
LouLou Tips: – Mix a drop of the Ultra-Calming Moisturizer with your favourite liquid foundation for a luminous complexion.
– Smooth this tinted moisturizer all over your face, making sure to blend it carefully along your jawline for a flawless finish.
Avon Lip Radiance in Silver Foil (FULL SIZE) – an assortment of Avon products went out in the boxes this month – I received the Lip Radiance lip gloss which I’m definitely happy about – this gloss is sheer and glossy.
LouLou Tip: The number one makeup rule is always pick one feature to emphasize (eyes or lips) and keep the rest simple.
Revlon Nail Enamel in Craving Coral (FULL SIZE – $5.99) – I love Revlon polishes – they go on nicely and last really well. Not only that, but this colour is gorge – bright flaming red.
LouLou Tip: Nail art is all the rage right now! Get creative by painting each nail a different colour or adding contrast at the tips.
GlossyBox Lashes (FULL SIZE – $12.50) – Yay! Another GlossyBox exclusive item! These lashes pack some serious drama (they actually remind me of these ones from Eylure’s new Katy Perry line) – I’m not too sure I’ll be wearing them anytime soon, but I’m going to try to pull them out when I want to add some oomph to my look.
LouLou Tip: Dress up your gaze with false lashes! Simply run a bit of glue along the edge, press them on at the base of your natural fringe to set them, and voila!
Another little bonus this month? 50 subscribers received a necklace from the Nobia jewelery collection, but the rest of us still got a little treat with a cute pair of jeweled studs.
I’d have to say this month’s box was really quite fantastic – 5 full size products + a nice little gift – definitely works for me! If you want to subscribe, you can do so here – use the code GLOSSY8 to save 10%!
