Glossybox July 2021

I received July’s Glossybox in exchange for an honest review. This post also appears on A Year of Boxes.

Glossybox is a beauty box from the US that typically delivers five deluxe or full-size products every month. July’s “Beauty Treasures” edition looks like a treasure chest and includes a magnetic closure for an extra touch of fancy. But this one’s so good you might want to keep it under lock and key. 🔒

Because we love a special edition: The Hello Summer Hygge in a Box 🇨🇦

I received the Hello Summer Hygge in a Box in exchange for an honest review.

I used to think hygge was just for fall and winter but when I learned it’s more than being cozy but also being present, connecting to nature and loved ones, feeling at peace and enjoying simple pleasures (yes all of these things!) it was clear that hygge could be experienced any time of year. So what does summer hygge look like? Growing your own herbs and vegetables. Sharing stories around a campfire. Watching the sun set from your porch with a light blanket and an ice tea. Hygge Canada paired these ideas and others with a selection of hyggelig products in its Hello Summer Hygge in a Box and I’m happy happy to share it with you today. 😄 The box is one of several limited editions released throughout the year in addition to the seasonal (and generally larger) subscription boxes for spring, summer, winter and fall. Let’s look inside.

Lookfantastic Beauty Box: The Hero Edit June 2021

l received The Hero Edit in exchange for an honest review. This post also appears on A Year of Boxes.

Lookfantastic put out a special hair care edition of their beauty box last month with a collection of products “meant to detoxify, hydrate, and give strength to your tresses as the temps rise, and we all let our hair down.” I’ve still got a few to try but I wanted to share some initial thoughts anyway. On to the mane attraction if you will, June’s Hero Edit. This one sold for $35 USD/$45 CAD and promised a retail value of $95+.
