hey guys welcome to planning with crystal so today's unboxing is glossybox for august 2022.
this one's theme is the art of beauty it is the uk a glossy box i'm going to be unboxing today
glossybox kindly send me this box to unbox in exchange for my honest opinions so that is what
you're gonna get today so the glossybox retails at 13.25 including free uk delivery you can
actually get it for 11 pounds for your first box if you use my discount code crystal dash r69 bit
of a mouthful i know i will link it underneath as well and put all the information you need
there so this one's box this is what it looks like it's got this lady on the front and then when you
open it up it's got some tissue paper and stuff inside we have just got a little card that you
scan instead of a leaflet that's the way glossybox went scan me get all the info as usual for me it
doesn't work doesn't matter which device i use they never scan for me it will it will scan it
but it says to like a blank page and like an error code so i don't know what i'm doing wrong
it says in the lid high beautiful and the rest of the box pretty standard to be fair
so we're going to unbox it i'll let you know there is a slight variation on one or two of
the products i'll let you know about that as we go along and most of us will get pretty much the same
thing i think anyway let's just dive right in and see what's in here so the first item is actually
a little deluxe minute it's from pixie by petra which this is a brand that i have seen around and
about before and i've never actually purchased or tried anything from the brand so i was excited to
see this in here because it was something a little bit different i have got it on today as well and
i'm going to tell you how i used it how i kind of found it because i've been wearing it all day
and any kind of hints and tips i've got for this product so it's basically a beauty blush
duo and i have got it in peach honey i don't think they explicitly said which shade you would get or
whether anybody would even get a different one so it might be that we're all getting this same one
i don't if you can see it is actually stamped inside the product and it says pixi by petra
so there are two different colors here there is like a blush kind of shade here and then this is
like a highlighter so i just kind of swirled them together and just went up kind of on the apples
of my cheeks it's 4.5 grams or 0.16 fluid ounce so this is the highlighter one this is the blush
so it's more instead of being like a real kind of pop of color it's more just a little bit of a hint
but like i said i actually kind of swirled the two together so it was more of a kind of highlight
like i said really subtle pop of color as opposed to a proper proper blush so it's not the sort
of products i would normally use but i kind of enjoyed it it's like i've had it on all day and
hopefully you can still kind of see that little hint of color and glow there on my cheeks so i
was pretty happy with it i will keep playing around with it and so see how i get on this is
worth eight pounds in this size and even though it's a deluxe size and not like a full size
i like the packaging it doesn't feel like they put it in sort of cheaper packaging and there's
plenty of products in here really it's kind of like a coral color the main blush in this which
is not something i tend to gravitate towards but when i do wear it i kind of enjoy it you know
so yeah thumbs up from me like that product next up we have got some false lashes these are from
land of lashes and they are the faux mink lashes reusable cruelty free nude lash whatever that is
it's got a number 11 on still look quite nice i'm just not somebody who wears false lashes certainly
not since my kind of night clubbing nights so yeah i just i don't so these i'll be passing it
on but it does say they can be reused for 15 plus times when cared for correctly it doesn't include
the adhesive now when i used to buy things like this it definitely used to include the adhesive
now it seems to be something to do it separately but in any case these are worth seven pounds
next up we've got a product from huge ins and it's the organic face scrub 77
of the ingredients are organic and 99 are natural origin and it says it's a purifying
glow exfoliator it is just a sample size it's 12 mil or 0.4 fluid ounce this is worth 750 and
this is what it looks like for me though it kind of smells a little bit minty which is a really
odd scent to put on your face for me minty is toothpaste so it's like a kind of cream texture
and then it's got these little kind of physical scrub bits in but yeah i don't know if i can
oh no it's kind of now going to minty lemon it smells like minty lemon okay that is my opinion
what i meant to show you before actually as well is we do get a little brush this month
now i love brushes i've got like a bazillion of them but i do like them i do appreciate them
and you know you can never have too many brushes in my mind if i've got extra brushes i put them
to one side for traveling so that i don't have to wait for the last minute when i'm packing
to pack brushes so obviously my absolute favorites i have with me all the time but
they want to go away i'll just use some other ones i'm maybe not as thrilled about or don't love as
much and therefore wouldn't be as upset if they kind of went missing or disappeared or something
anyway this is a luxie brush it was described as being a blush brush which kind of made sense
to me because i thought right well we've got our products from pixie i thought i can use this and
i did initially when i put this product on this morning try to use the brush to apply it but i
don't think it works well at all with this product so i used one of my own blush brushes in the end
but this is a luxie 640 pro precision tapered brush it does feel very nice kind of quality
so it's not a dense brush and what i mean by that is you press it against you just kind of splays i
don't know like it maybe for sort of highlight you could just do like a light dusting with it
that kind of works but for me i don't know if this is just a preference thing but when i apply blush
or powder blush i will use more of a dense brush that when you do this it holds its shape better
and i will kind of want to really go in so that's what i did i used a completely different brush but
this is the brush we get in so it's got like a rose gold and metal bit on it here it's obviously
done in this like pink color and then the bristles themselves are kind of like a dark brown with this
white bit on the end but yeah it feels like a nice brush it's definitely a brush i will enjoy using
you know it feels good quality and stuff i just kind of thought it was going to be the perfect
brush to go with the blush and it's not but that's fine it's just an observation and because
i thought oh they've got two things together that actually work together i don't know about you but
a lot of these kind of beauty boxes put random products together that don't always go together
so it's kind of like you know great you're doing a good job of that and then they're not quite right
together in my mind maybe if you're just using it as a highlighter then you know it would work
but this is actually worth 17 pounds so that's probably why it seems quite a good quality brush
so yeah the final products we are getting in our glossybox this month is by nao bay and you'll get
one of two hair masks so really similar products but there's two different variations there is the
protective hair mask 50ml or the restore and nourish hair mask so i've got the protective
hair mask which is also described as being a volume conditioner which it seems like that is
two different products to me is it a protective hair mask or is it a volumizing conditioner
i don't know but that's what it says it does seem to get quite good reviews from some of the reviews
and things i've read online like i said it's 50 ml 1.69 fluid ounce it is also cruelty free
and you know the ingredients and stuff all look really good it says to leave on for three minutes
to take effect and rinse their lube with water so obviously once you've shampooed so i guess
you could use it as like a conditioner or a mask there's actually that much difference between a
conditioner mask it's generally how long you leave it on your hair i guess sometimes but then you
expect a little bit more from a hair mask whether that be moisturization or whatever it is but yes
that is the kind of fifth and final product in here so i'll kind of give you my thoughts i mean
it's called the art of beauty i don't really know where they're going with to get that name because
there's actually only one makeup product and that is that blush highlighter so i'm like where are
we going with it i'm not saying beauty is all about makeup but it doesn't feel like a beauty
box not when you're calling it the art of beauty that i would have expected a bit more
makeup i suppose lashes are kind of makeup so you know it's just because i'm not into lashes
that that just doesn't excite me happy with the brush though happy with this little cheek color
we'll have to see how i get on with the scrub i mean it feels nice enough i'm just like not sure
about the scent and things of it it's a little bit of a niche brand as well hugans or whatever you
however pronounce it um interesting so nice to try something a bit different and i i always
need some kind of mask and the fact that it says volume conditioner on it hopefully should be good
for my fine hair so it's an okay box it's not like one where i'm like wow really loving the
box this month but it's also not where i'm like i really don't like this so it's kind of middle
of the road for me but we are all different so let me know in the comments what you think of this box
