The Story Behind August’s Special Design Box

This August, we’re celebrating Pride with another special design box that’s filled with 6 full-size products (worth over £58), 4 of which are makeup!
Whoever you are, we want to celebrate everyone’s individuality so we’ve curated a Pride themed box of multi-use products that are tailored to help you feel empowered, bold and unique.
Why is Pride important to us?

We’re a GLOSSY community that stands together against discrimination and completely embraces individuality. 2018 marks the 50-year anniversary since the decriminalisation of homosexuality and we are very proud to be able to deliver this very special edition.
The definitive symbol of Pride, the rainbow flag emblazoned onto this month's box has a deep meaning: red represents life, orange is for healing, yellow is for sunlight, green is for nature, blue is for harmony and purple is for spirit.
We are delighted to be supporting the LGBT Foundation this month with a big fundraising event alongside a number of awareness articles. Beauty Unboxed will also feature many articles on Pride, the characters and the music, which have characterised the LGBT community over the last 40 to 50 years.
What’s in your Pride GLOSSYBOX?
Our picks for this August are fun and fearless. We promote vibrancy, love and liberty in our international Glossy community. So Glossies, let’s let our hair down #LoveIsLove…
