Makeup Obsession UK: June 2019

The theme of June's glossy box was summer soiree - "we've filled our iconic pink box with all the essential beauty products you need to get ready for whatever occasions lie ahead this summer" - GLOSSYBOX

How much is a Glossybox subscription?

A new addition to the Glossybox subscription service is the 12-month contract which makes it cheaper per month! I pay £8.50 for the box and £3.25 for postage and packaging (£11.75). Every month they deliver 5 beauty products worth over £50.

What was in this months box?

Avant Skincare Pro Perfecting Collagen Touche Eclat Primer - Worth £85.00

"Silky, lightweight and universal, this high-end primer mattifies and softens your complexion, while also reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Apply a pea-sized amount to the centre of your face and blend outwards. It will perfectly prep your skin for flawless makeup application and help your look last even longer!"

I've only tried this primer a handful of times and when applied it's very smooth and silky, it helps your makeup to apply very smoothly and looks amazing on the skin. I personally would not repurchase this product as it is £85, and there are high street primers that work just as well.

Meech N Mia Eyeshadow Chubby Stick - Worth £12.99

"This highly-pigmented, gold eyeshadow pencil will help you create the perfect eye look for your special occasion. Use it alone to create a bold look (the colour pay-off is amazing!), or blend it with loose and pressed eyeshadow for a softer finish. Its rich and creamy formula applies effortlessly."

After opening this product and swatching it on my hand; I was disappointed at the colour pay off, it's not very pigmented even though the description states that it is. its a very pale gold colour so for me, I would only use it as a highlight colour on the inner corner of my eyes. I don't think this product is worth £12.99 and I wouldn't repurchase it.

ModelCo Lip Creme Matte Peachy Nude - Worth £15.00

"This luscious lip crème boasts a Peachy Nude hue that perfectly finishes off every going out look. Its long-lasting and highly-pigmented formula will instantly give you a rich, matte coverage. Simply sweep it across your lips and allow it to dry for 60 seconds."

I was very excited when I saw that this was in my Glossybox. Liquid lipsticks are my favourite lip product, the colour is a peachy pink colour and would be a good colour to wear throughout the summer. The formula lasts on your lips and it's not drying.

Sleek Face Form Palette Fair - Worth £9.99

"A three-in-one bronzer, highlighter and blush palette, this makeup kit is a must-have! Start by sculpting your cheekbones using the matte bronzing powder, then apply the blush to give your cheeks a rosy flush, before blending and softening the look with a sweep of highlighter."
I was excited about this product as I've used sleek products before and they've been very good quality. I received the fair one as I have set my preferences in my Glossybox profile that I have fair skin.

Hask Deep Conditioner Monoi Coconut Oil - Worth £2.49

"Infused with a range of essential oils, including Kalahari, coconut and citrus oil, they replenish, nourish and purify your tresses. Massage the mask into your locks, leave it in for 10 minutes and rinse."
I received the blue coconut oil. I haven't used it yet but as I set on my profile I have dry hair, they accommodated to that and sent me a moisturising product.

1. Fenty beauty - PRO FILT'R Soft Matte Longwear Foundation

The Fenty pro filt’r foundation by Rihanna has a medium to full coverage finish, it has a soft matte finish and doesn’t need to be set as it sets by itself (unless you have very oily skin). The Fenty foundation leaves a nice finish on the skin and isn’t cakey and doesn’t look too matte. It has a high medium to low full coverage appearance but still looks skin like. I use shade 140, they have an extensive shade range of 50 shades so there's a colour and undertone for everyone. They have shades for light skin, medium skin, tan skin and deep skin. Each different range has options for cool, neutral and warm undertones. The foundation has 32ml of product.

2. Loreal Paris – Infallible Pro Glow Longwear Foundation

The loreal pro glow foundation is mainly sold in America, it’s not sold in U.K stores. However, my family brought it for me when they went on a trip to New York after I had seen some amazing reviews on YouTube. It is available in the U.K on Amazon. The foundation has a very skin like medium coverage and it's very glowy (as the name would suggest), the foundation wouldn’t be suitable for people with oily skin unless it was set very well. It is suitable for normal to dry skin in need of hydration. A downside of this foundation is that it is only available in 12 shades, which is not a very extensive shade range. I use shade 201 which is the lightest shade available.

3. P.S – My Perfect Colour Double Coverage Matte Foundation

The double coverage matte foundation is a 'dupe' for the Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup, it has an amazing full coverage appearance. One of the most amazing features of this foundation is the cost – it retails at £5!. The foundation has SPF 15 and has 32ml of product. As the foundation is matte you don’t need to wear much powder, it would be more suitable for oily skin as it does have a matte finish.

4. Nars – Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation

The Nars natural radiant longwear foundation has a medium coverage with a soft glowy finish, it has a lightweight formula so you can’t feel it on your skin, but it still has amazing coverage. The range has 33 shades with a range of different undertones to match everyone, the product contains 30ml of product. I use shade Mont Blanc (Light 2).

5. Revolution – Fast Base Stick Foundation

This foundation is a stick foundation; it has high medium coverage and is very easy to apply as you can just swipe the product over your face. The foundation melts into your skin and leaves a dewy finish. The range has 18 shades and can easily be used as a contour stick and a highlight stick. You don’t need too much of this product as a little goes a long way. I use the shade F1. The product contains 6.2g.
