I can’t begin to tell you how excited by how I am with this month’s Glossybox! Illamasqua nail polish! Ellis Faas Milky Lips! Those two products alone would have made me happy. Illamasqua nail polish is one of my favorite brands - just check out these pictures for proof! And I have been wanting to try Ellis Faas for as long as I can remember!
ILLAMASQUA NAIL VARNISH IN TAINT - “Make a statement and talk with your hands!” Ha-ha my hands say “Taint!” I know some of you may think that the name is too risqué but I think it’s hilarious. Very tongue-in-check. After all, it’s just nail polish. It applied flawlessly, as most of my Illamasqua’s do.
BIOLAGE EXQUISITEOIL REPLENISHING TREATMENT - “with Moringa Oil blend replenishes in the way nature intended.” Hmm, too bad the ingredients show it’s mostly silicone!
INGREDIENTS: Water/Aqua/Eau, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethiconol, Parfum/Fragrance, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Argania Spinosa Oil/Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil, Limonene, Hexyl Cinnamal, Coumarin, Linalool, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Benzyl Alcohol, Hydroxycitronellal, Amyl Cinnamal, Geraniol, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Isoeugenol, Benzyl Benzoate, Cinnamyl AlcoholOLE HENRIKSEN - TRUTH SERUM COLLAGEN BOOSTER™ - This looks really awesome, and I am glad I received a sample to try because I have had trouble with vitamin C in the past and have been hesitant to buy another vitamin C product but want to give it another go!
ELLIS FAAS Milky Lips - “ELLIS LIPS products are lightweight, long-lasting and easy to apply. Paraben-free and loaded with vitamin E, they also blend into the lips without a sticky residue, leaving the lips soft and conditioned.” Well, I do agree with all of those statements. I really liked the way the product felt when I wore it. It was how it looked that was the problem. The color L204 is a hiddeous burnt orange! But at least I know I like the product and will most likely make a purchase in the future!
TOUCH IN SOL - FEEL LIKE HONEY MOON SKIN BASE - “Extend the life of your makeup with this one step rejuvenating primer!” Since this primer is not silicone-based, I will definitely try it out!

I tend to break out when I use silicone on my face, and I avoid it in hair products because it weighs my hair down. Also, my fine hair can become greasy very very easily. Since I stopped using any hair products with sulphates or silicones, my hair has calmed down and is not greasy at all.
