GlossyBox September 2019 / Beauty School

Glossybox    
is another beauty box I have recently subbed to and here's September's box. It was called Beauty School (why)??

This box contained...

Avant Pro Perfecting Collagen Touche Eclat Primer

I'm quite nonplussed with this. I was surprised to read this primer costs like 100€ in a full-size package, and this sample size would be like 40-50€. Okay, some stuff are expensive. But the funny thing is that it's basically a mix of different types of silicone. It has some hydrolyzed collagen in it, but it's still mainly silicone. I understand that silicone works in a primer because it coats the skin and makes it looking smooth, but then I don't get why it costs such a long penny? And since it promises to retain moisture and protect the skin from evil invaders, why there's no sunscreen?
I don't think it's a skin care product at all- rather a make up item. Perhaps a decent make up item according to the reviews around the web.
Another funny thing is that I'm gonna give it straight away to a buddy of mine because I dislike silicone on my face. I'll let you know her opinion then!

Pixi Beauty Lip Lift Max in Honey Sheen
This is exactly the same one that was in LookFantasic Box, but I'm not disappointed with the double get at all, because I find this product really awesome and now I'll have another one waiting when I have used up the first one.

Depend 7 days hybrid nail polish
I didn't try this yet, but it looks really nice and glittery. I will edit this posts after I try it and see if it does what it promises and lasts up to 7 days.

N.A.E Freschezza Shower Gel

Okay, I said on Instagram that the Miracle Balm was my favorite product of this box but I changed my mind. This shower gel is my favorite! N.A.E is an Italian brand that favors natural and organic ingredients. I was delighted to find out that there is no sodium laureth sulfate in this product. SLS is really drying and can irritate skin, and my skin is already dry and fussy enough. This body wash contains ammonium lauryl sulfate, which is still a sulfate, but it's way less drying and much gentler for the skin. Sulfates in general are used to make the product foam and give you a clean feeling. This shower gel smells super fresh and lovely, the husbandino likes it too so it's not too sweet or girly.

Purple Tree Miracle Balm

Okay, not like Jesus in a form of a balm or anything, but very useful for broken cuticles, dry elbows and such, and smells really yummy. As I said my skin is dry, so this kind of stuff comes in handy. It's basically petroleum jelly that has been spiced up with pomegranate, so you'll get the best of it if you use it over a moisturiser and it will seal the moisture in. Mineral oils don't really provide moisturisation or nutrition to the skin, they only lock in what is already there. I'm most likely not using this on my lips, because I eat half of my lip balms anyway and I don't want to eat mineral oil. A tip for a night mask: use this (or vaseline) over your night serum / moisturiser, wash off in the morning and look glowing.
