Glossybox Pure Relaxation Edit

This months Glossybox is aptly titled Pure Relaxation, a term that has become part of my life for the past few months. Having been told, after numerous tests that I have what is called Adrenal Fatigue, being stressed and suffering burn out is not what I need right now (or ever) so I am to “take things easy” and find time to relax.
Glossybox Pure Relaxation Edit
So, for September, Glossybox has curated an edit which is described as being the perfect addition to your self-care tool kit and it features a mixture of skincare, makeup, fragrance and a beauty tool!

The first item out of the box comes from Spa To You with the Dual Facial Cleansing Brush.

This dual action facial cleansing brush is designed to help improve the appearance of the skin’s texture. The Use really soft white soft bristles are designed to be used with your cleanser and on the reverse, the silicone bristles with your exfoliator. It also has a handy flat bottom so it can stand on your sink and air dry!

The second product in this months box comes from Vitamasques with their Pearl Sheet Mask.
Glossybox Pure Relaxation Edit
This brightening mask is said to be ideal for boosting dull and tired skin. It combines extracts of Chamomile, Centella and Pearl Powder alongside Peony which together provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory protection to shield against redness and brighten lackluster skin. 

Up next from Figs & Rouge we have the Wander Love Clarity Skin Perfecting Serum Drops!
Glossybox Pure Relaxation Edit
Described as being a sublime and lightweight micro-refining serum, the drops are formulated to help your skin discover its natural clarity. Said to gently exfoliate the skin whilst unclogging pores to leave your complexion looking radiant, glowing and refreshed.

The fourth product is one that appeared in the July Glossybox from MCoBeauty with the Cheek and Lip Tint in the shade Flamingo Pink.
Glossybox Pure Relaxation Edit
Described as being the perfect double duty beauty for a rosy pout and flushed cheeks, what you have with this Cheek and Lip Tint is a multi-taking pigmented stain which you can blend using your finger tips to the cheeks and on the lips it gives you the option of buildable coverage.

The fifth product within this box comes from Sebamed with their much loved Antibacterial Cleansing Foam.
Glossybox Pure Relaxation Edit
Said to be a product which provides intensive, antibacterial and gentle skin cleansing, it also has an anti-pimple effect and intensive care effect with a pH value of 5.5. Its job is to combat pimples, black heads and skin impurities as well as to give a noticeable improvement of the 'skin feeling' of the complexion.

Finally in this months Glossybox we have what is referred to as being an “extra treat” from Judith Lieberman and it is a trio of perfume vials which are really nicely presented in a gold shiny box.
Glossybox Pure Relaxation Edit
This isn’t a brand I am too familiar with, but I do love discovering new fragrances and this trio happen to be ones you can wear on their own or layered. The three fragrances More Gourmand, More Zest and More Floral are quite distinctive on their own and for me, whilst More Gourmand is a little on the strong side, when paid with More Floral, it is much less cloying. Of the three More Zest is my favourite, I love how the citrus notes work with the floral notes, it is just delightful. 

I really love the theme of this months box and the products with the mixture of skincare and makeup, plus the fragrances have really intrigued me to want to know more! 

As you will all know, Glossybox is a beauty box subscription service and it costs as little as £11 per month here*. By subscribing to these boxes, it gives you the chance to get your hands on the Limited Edition boxes.

Suqqu Watery Protection SPF30

Did you know that Suqqu is inspired by the Japanese expression for ‘a woman rising to her full height’, SUQQU is synonymous with elegance and grace, neither did I! Over the past few months I have been using an incredible product from the brand Suqqu which I was kindly sent and I have just loved it - The Suqqu Watery Protection SPF30.
Suqqu Watery Protection SPF30
Suqqu is a brand I came to know after attending a Zoom presentation on the Gankin Massage Technique which was just fascinating and a technique I am still using most days to relax and unwind after work. 

The Suqqu Watery Protection SPF30 is described as being a watery textured fresh sunscreen that defends the skin against UV. We all know the importance of wearing SPF every single day, not just on those (rare) days when that big yellow ball of heat appears in the sky and an SPF is a product I have in every place I might be - the bathroom, the bedroom, my handbag and even my desk drawer, being conscious that I need to ensure I protect my skin at all times.
Suqqu Watery Protection SPF30
When it comes to ingredients, this one has quite the list because it is not only enriched with Rose Extract, Hyaluronic Acid and Water-soluble Collagen, but you will also find Horsetail Plant Extract and Fermented Rice Extract too.  

On the skin as the name suggests, this water-based formula is really cooling and soothing on the skin when using on those warmer days, it also gives a fresh, translucent finish making it comfortable to wear every single day and at the same time it also primes the skin with a subtle coral-pink hue which gives that healthy-look and of course it has an SPF30, which I am happy about.   

A delightful product for those, like me who don't want to wear creams and lotions which are really heavy and thick feeling on the skin, I absolutely love this texture and the finish and it is up there with one of my favourite discoveries of 2021 so far!  

The Suqqu Watery Protection SPF30 is priced at just £32 and can be found in Selfridges, Cult Beauty, Harrods and Suqqu.
