Glowria Box May 2026: A Journey to Rio – My Review

As we enjoy the long weekends of May, the weather seems to have other plans. With cloudy skies lingering, I find myself hesitant to pull out my summer dresses just yet. However, one thing that has arrived right on time is the Glowria Box, perfectly themed to lift our spirits and transport us to sunnier locales. This month, we embark on a journey to Rio!

Glowria: A Customized Beauty Routine Every Month

After being impressed with the previous month’s Beauty Brunch, my excitement grew for May’s offerings. The Glowria team has curated a selection that promises to bring the essence of Rio to our beauty routines. For those unfamiliar with the Glowria Box, it features 4 to 5 full-size beauty and skincare products each month, all based around a specific theme. For those looking for a deal, a subscription option is available, allowing you to never miss a box while enjoying added savings.

This month’s box is packed with five delightful products and an extra treat! Let’s dive into what we have in store.

Journey to Rio: My Festive and Sunny Routine for May

Beauté Française – Self-Tanning Night Cream

We kick things off with a product from Beauté Française that I recently discovered. This month, we have the Self-Tanning Night Cream, which promises a natural, gradual tan that gives the illusion of a Rio vacation, all from the comfort of your home! It’s perfect for achieving a radiant glow during these rainy May days. Just be sure to follow the application instructions for the best results.

The cream comes in a 40ml squeeze tube and contains naturally derived DHA to illuminate the complexion, along with macadamia oil for nourishment and organic açaí oil to maintain skin radiance and softness. Its fluid texture and pleasant fruity scent make it a joy to apply. While I’m a bit anxious about application, I’m excited to try this product!

Self-Tanning Night Cream – Beauté Française – 40ml for €27.50 (20% discount available with code GLOWRIA20 until 30/06/2026)

Laura Sim’s – Coconut Oil Hair Mask

Next up is Laura Sim’s Coconut Oil Hair Mask, designed to bring immediate softness and ease to your hair, along with a delightful lingering fragrance. This is the kind of product I love discovering, as it allows me to escape to a tropical paradise right from my shower!

This 100ml mask features 97% natural ingredients, including coconut oil, which is rich in fatty acids for nourishment and easy detangling. Made in France, it’s applied post-shampoo to lengths and ends, left on for a few minutes, and then rinsed out. With just one to two uses per week, depending on hair needs, its creamy texture makes for quick application. Both my daughter and I have already adopted this summer-scented gem!

Steve Laurant – Emerald Eyeliner

For my third pick, I’m excited to try the Emerald Eyeliner from Steve Laurant. This vibrant hue adds a subtle yet colorful touch to summer looks. It promises long-lasting wear and intense pigmentation, perfectly capturing the festive spirit of Rio!

The eyeliner comes in a sleek cardboard box, with a felt tip applicator for precise application. The Emerald shade is a stunning green, complemented by subtle shimmer for a luminous finish. It’s a product I might not have chosen on my own, but I’m thrilled with how it enhances my hazel eyes!

Adopt’ – Hydrating Fragrance Mist

Next, we have a hydrating fragrance mist from Adopt’, a brand I frequently rave about. This delightful mist is designed to uplift your morning mood while providing hydration for both skin and hair in a flash.

Packaged in a generous 200ml bottle, this mist is made in France. We received the Coco Mango version, which blends tropical notes of mango and coconut, evoking the warmth of Brazilian beaches. With glycerin for hydration, its spray nozzle allows for easy and quick application. I’m absolutely smitten with this fruity scent that feels like summer in a bottle!

Hydrating Fragrance Mist Coco Mango – Adopt’ – 200ml for €14.95 (20% discount available with code GLOWRIA20 until 30/06/2026)

Hipanema – Trio of Golden Charms

We conclude this edition with a charming trio of golden charms from Hipanema, designed to enhance the golden chain bracelet we received last month. It’s a wonderful way to personalize our jewelry!

The set includes a radiant sun, a blue and gold parrot (specifically an Ara), and a charm depicting a sunset over Rio’s waves. These charms perfectly embody the travel theme! They attach easily to the bracelet with a small clasp, and their detailed design is likely to appeal to many.

I’m thrilled with how they elevate the simplicity of the bracelet, and I might even try wearing them as an anklet!

Bonus: Palais des Thés – Brazilian Detox Tea

To round out this selection, the team included a sample of Brazilian Detox Tea from Palais des Thés. This delightful blend features invigorating and detoxifying properties, highlighting green tea, mate, açaí, and guarana, complemented by the tart notes of acerola.

It can be enjoyed hot or iced, and I appreciate the thoughtful inclusion of a sachet to introduce us to this unique tea flavor.
