My Very Late Glossybox!!

3 Comments »

So today, I finally received my long overdue Glossybox. This is my second and last glossybox. While I like the box. It is a bit pricey for my liking. The drama that went on with this box was too much for me too. Not that I had much issues with it personally.


I believe by now most people should know what a Glossybox is. It is a beauty subscription box mailed out monthly with 5-7 samples for subscribers to try. It can be purchased on a monthly bases or quarterly or annually.


So apparently, this month's products were selected by LOULOU Magazine. While there were a lot of full size samples in this box. I was really disappointed with this box. First reason was because my original box got lost in transit and I had to wait till now to get it. The second was that I noticed a lot of my samples had dust on it. Like it's been sitting there forever. 


The sample was the TRESemme Split Remedy Sachet, which soooo small it doesn't really count for anything. I also already have a sample of this so I really wasn't enthusiastic about it at all. It had dust on it indicating that it was probably sitting there for a while. Ughh.


The second I pulled out was the Glossybox Lashes which were set at $12.50 a pair. While these false lashes looked full and pretty, and when I took it out it was soft to the touch, I didn't feel its value was $12.50. I've bought better quality lashes for cheaper. On top of that the box came worn looking.


Next to be pulled out was a pair of studs. There was no value to this on the info card. But It doesn't look like something I'd pay a lot of money for. 


So one of the items to cause a lot of drama was the Revlon enamel. Indeed the bottle looked worn and old, however I am in a phase where nail polish is nail polish and I like the color I got. :)


 This TRESemme Fresh Start Volumzing Dry Shampoo was something I'm actually interested in trying. I've never had dry shampoo before so i'm interested to see how it works. However again like some of the other products, I was disappointed to see a layer of dust on it.


The Jergens Natural Glow is one I actually didn't care for even though I got a full size bottle. It was actually one that had no dust, but I've bought so many of this exact product and not used that I just don't care for it. 


My favorite of the box, the aveeno Positively ageless Day SPF 30 Mositurizer. I am a huge fan of aveeno so this will definitely come in handy. Plus I really needed a SPF Mosturizer. 


Last but not least my avon product was yet another nail polish!! I was so elated to find that there was two bottles of nail polish in my box. This bottle is called Midnight Plum and is a dark purple color. While I quickly glanced online and indeed it seems to be from a while ago, I am happy with the color and nail polish certainly can last so no complaints here. 




November Glossybox!

1 Comment »

My November Glossybox has finally arrived! I love the fact that it is now December, don't you? anyways, this is my first box. I don't really like it so much, and you'll see why in a minute. For those of you that don't know, Glossybox is a beauty subscription box that is $21/month and sends you 5~7 deluxe size samples. To be honest, I really got this subscription for the box. 


When you first open it up, you get this really nicely wrapped, Christmas themed wrapping paper. 


Once you've untied the red ribbon, the contents inside are revealed!


The first think that I pulled out was a Maybelline MNY My Gloss. This color is in a light pink shade. It supposedly retails for 7.49 and is a full size product at 9 ml, which I still think is kinda small. I don't usually use glosses, but it looks light enough that I'll be able to use it without worry. 


The next product I pulled out was a Vitabath Fresh Citrus Twist moisturizing bath and shower gel. Its suppose to be Paraben and Sulfate Free. Sadly, even after receiving a BSc, I still don't know what that means. However, this came in the supposed full size and would cost $15 - $18. I'm not sure that I would spend so much on such a thing. We'll see after I use it. 


Next was my favorite from the box. Nail Polish!! :D this is Nicole by O.P.I. and is part of the Kardashian Kolor line. It is shimmery, which is a first for me, so I'll have to see what it looks like on the finger. It's estimated retail value is 10.99, which seems about right. The bottle sort of leaked though and some got into the box which was unfortunate, however it was very minimal. However it still means something went wrong with this box. 


Next in the box was a bottle of Curel, Hand and Cuticle Therapy. I really need this. Especially when my nails have been painted so much lately and it is getting colder outdoors as well. It will especially come in handy when I'm at my Bright Night job. This only retails for 3.99 which is weird considering how big a bottle it is. 



I was really disappointed with this. While almost everyone else got the Nexxus Shampoo and Conditioner, I got this. Clear, Scalp and Hair Therapy Shampoo and Conditioner. a new brand no one has really heard of and smaller samples in comparison. Not impressed. 



Last but not least was this blush. It was custom mad for glossy box and is called Glossy Rosewood. While it IS nice, I don't know if it is worth  $16.73. at least I know I wouldn't pay for that. 


 So that was my box. Please let me know what you thought of it. Should I keep going with Glossy Box? or unsubscribe?
