September Glossybox

the july glossybox i was thrilled about, i couldn't wait until the august one! when i got the august one i was so disappointed (not because it was not worth it or it had bad products - they just were not for me, the products). the september glossybox came and as soon as i opened it i instantly regretted making my complaints about the august box known to glossybox. the september glossybox was amazing! 
thank you glossybox soo much!

the september glossybox was all about red-carpet-ready glamour and was definitely valued at way more than the $15.00 per month we pay for this wonderful box. 
the september glossybox contained:

1. NYX the crimson amulet collection makeup palette: 24 different eye shadow colours, lip colours, blush, liquid eye liner and an eye shadow base. i haven't used the lip colour yet but i've tried a few of the eye shadows and i love the blushes that i tried! the glossybox arrived right before a wedding i went to so it was perfect! i was able to use colours i've never had before! (i dont often wear much make-up) - this is valued at $25.00!
2. Wella professionals mirror polish shine serum: this product is perfect to use on your hair after you straighten it. i find sometimes my hair looks very dry after i've straightened it but this serum gives my hair a nice shine. the smell isn't bad but its strong - this is valued at $16.99 and its full size!
3. B. Kamins Lip Balm SPF 20: its Canadian! thats a plus! :) and its a good product. its not scented, no colour to it and has SPF protection. no complaints here, i like it. - we got a sample size (4ml)
4. B. Kamins Maple Body Lotion: the smell of this lotion is subtle but nice. it goes on nice and is not oily - we got a sample size in glossybox (we also got a coupon for 25% off B. Kamins Lip Balm or Lotion if we purchase some from the website)
5. Dove Cleartone: i love dove and you can always use more deodorant. this particular cleartone product is supposed to reduce underarm discolouration cause by dry skin. i haven't used it yet but im betting it will like it just as much as all over dove deodorants - we got a sample size

*PS.. we got an email from glossybox yesterday indicating they are raising the price of their monthly subscription to $21.00 from $15.00. that is a pretty significant increase im not happy about... but i'll see how it goes*

july glossy box

a year ago i thought id never make a post about any form of clothes or products, it just wasn't something i would do. i've changed my opinion... i actually thoroughly enjoy reading posts about beauty products people have used and their opinions on whether they loved or hated them, just as i love reading about books others have read.
i got my first glossybox in the mail today and the only reason i actually ordered one is because i've read about it in many of the blogs i read weekly. if you have never heard of glossybox, it is a little box of beauty products (usually around 5) sent each month to your door in a cute light pink box. its $15 a month and contents can be anything from hair products to foot cream and from nail polish to facial cleanser. each subscriber makes a beauty profile and glossybox sends products based on these profiles. i opened mine as soon as i got home from work and i was impressed with everything i got for the $15.

the july glossy box contained:

1. Zoya Nail Polish -the colour is called reagan, its a deep fuchsia pink and supposably has a subtle blue undertone -  valued at $8.00
2. Alessandro International -  pedix heel rescue balm -  this just came as a sample size so im unsure of the retail value of this
3. John Frieda go blonder spray - this im excited for! you just spray it on and it is supposed to lighten the blonde.. cheaper than the hair salon! -  this is full size and valued at $13.99
4. Burts Bees lip shimmer -  i love burts bees products - valued at $5.99
5. Dove softening creme body wash -  i just like most body washes as long as it doesn't have a really harsh sent. i find dove usually has a very subtle fragrance - full size and valued at $5.99
6. Beautysoclean sanitizer wipes -  these are different, apparently it is like hand sanitizer but for your makeup. strange concept - it came with a sample of about 4 wipes


total value was about $34.00 + the sample size products i didn't add.
from what i've read about glossy box, boxes usually range from $30 in value to even around $60! for paying only $15 dollars a month, either is impressive.
