Glossybox ~ September

  • Posted on September 29, 2012 at 4:30 AM

This is my third GLOSSYBOX and I’m still loving them! Everything I’ve tried so far I’ve loved, even if I had reservations about the product. Before I explode, let’s look in this month’s box! 🙂

September’s box is dubbed “Fall Forward” Here is what my card reads:

“From the fall fashion runways to the season’s latest beauty trends, GLOSSYBOX offers a forward look into new products, formulas, technologies and colors of the season. This month we celebrate beauty’s breakthrough products and offer a mixed set of forward thinking essentials”

Now here’s what’s inside…

 

 

GKHAIR ~ (stands for Global Keratin)

Moisturizing Shampoo/Conditioner. Contains Juvexin. Yeah I’m going to have to Google that one. The shampoo nourishes with plant extracts, smooths, purifies and moisturizes the scalp and hair.  The conditioner smooths, revitalizes an leaves hair radiant. So sayith the card. It smells clean, almost, but not quite, like baby powder.

Full-sized 10.0 oz retails for $20 each.

 

 

 

 

KOH GEN DO ~ Cleansing Spa Water

Made with mineral-rich Japanese hot spring water. It’s infused with six essential herbs (Rosemary leaf, Lavender extract, Sage leaf extract, Artemisia Princeps Leaf extract, Perilla Ocymoides Leaf extract and Ginger root extract) to protect and nurture the skin. It’s supposed to gently remove makeup and your skins toughest impurities.

Those herbs don’t seem appealing to me so I had to break the seal and sniff it right away. (not currently at home) I am happy to report it doesn’t have much of a smell! YAY

The bottle is 3.38 oz and it’s actually a “full-sized” bottle. Retails for $13. NOT BAD!

 

KRYOLAN for GLOSSYBOX ~ Moisture Rich Lipstick in GLOSSY Pink

Long lasting lipstick enriched with Vitamin E to stimulate and hydrate lips. “The perfect pop of GLOSSY pink compliments all skin tones and lifestyles.”  It actually looks OK on  me. It just looks like I have some color to my usually bare lips. If I remember, when I get home I’ll take a picture. For now you’ll just see the tube. BTW it’s darker than shown.

Retails for $14.

 

 

 

MISSHA ~ M Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF 42

Hailing from Korea, this Blemish Balm, also known as the uber popular “BB Cream” is a multi-tasking powerhouse for the face. It provides light coverage, soothes, protects and moisturizes. Suitable for all skin types.  We’ll have to see. I have sensitive skin and all of the BB creams I’ve tried up until know have made me break out like a pizza-faced teen. 🙁

I’m not too happy about the smell. (I’m big on scents, if you haven’t noticed.) The texture is like other balms and the coverage is the same. It blended nicely though. I’ll just have to wait and see if I break out.

Retails for $29.99

 

Once again I’m super happy with my GLOSSYBOX and can’t wait until next month! To get yours go to www.GLOSSYBOX.com. $21 for a Monthly Subscription

GlossyBox ~ August 2012

  • Posted on August 31, 2012 at 5:51 AM

I got my August GlossyBox today! So far this is my favorite out of all the boxes I subscribe too. It’s just sooo fancy!

So this month’s theme is Pure Luxury. Here is what the card reads:

A balmy summer has come to a close and your body is in need of genuine TLC. Pamper yourself in this month’s GLOSSYBOX by nourishing your body from head to toe with rich, technologically-advanced products infused with vitamins, natural oils and sublime color. The exquisite selection of cosmetics will preserve your sun-kissed beauty, leaving you looking healthy and radiant. As the season comes to an end, wrap yourself in pure luxury.

Here is what I unwrapped.

 

Biologe ~ EsquisiteOil Replenishing Treatment. It’s a serum infused with Morigna Oil that is supposed to make your hair shine. Oh how my hair is crying for this!

3.1 oz full-sized product retails for $22

 

 

 

 

 

Ellis Faas ~ Ellis Faas Lips.

Ok I got this in my Beauty Box 5 and LOVE it. This one, not so much. This one is a glaze and the shade is HORRIBLE! I seriously don’t know a soul that would wear it. It’s oompa loompa orange! I don’t think I could give this away if I paid someone to take it.

0.095 oz retails for $35  (that’s a lot to spend on Halloween make-up)

 

 

 

ILLAMASQUA ~ Nail Varnish “Glory” I am sooooooo happy with this shade and can’t wait to try it. My University’s colors are Maroon and Silver. PERFECT! 🙂 Griz season starts tomorrow! GO GRIZ!

Retails for $14

 

 

 

 

OLE HENRIKSEN ~ Truth Serum !!! High powered vitamin C to smooth out lines and wrinkles.

1.0 oz Full Size retails for $48

 

 

 

 

 

TOUCH In SOL ~ Feel like Honey Moon Skin Base (interesting!) This is a primer that is a honey texure. It firms and revitalizes skin and allows for better makeup application. Aside from the polish, I’m super excited to try this. I’ll keep you posted!

1.13 oz Full Size retails for $20

 

 

 

 

Super excited to try everything out. I’ll update this post when I do.

GlossyBox July 2012

  • Posted on August 4, 2012 at 2:53 AM

I’m just a little confused… I got my first GlossyBox TODAY 8/3/12, but it’s for “July”. I’m wondering if I’ll get August in September? As long as I get a box a month I wont complain. If the rest of the boxes are like this one I’ll be overjoyed!

This sounds silly, but I felt special opening this box. It’s very luxe and gave me the feeling of opening an expensive gift. To further my excitement I found the contents wrapped inside dark brown tissue held together with a sticker and a pink ribbon tied around it. Right under the ribbon was a glossy card with a list and explanation of the contents. This GlossyBox has a theme “Summer Nights”.  I was too excited to read the rest. I tossed it aside and dug into my box!

Here is what I found. Oops! I forgot to add that on top of the box was a copy of Glossy Mag. I’ll read it later. 🙂

 

 

 

Pedix Heel Rescue Balm by Alessandro International ~ (Imported from Germany) Even at 1.01 oz the tube is pretty good sized for being a sample. I tried a little on my hand and though it felt soft the smell was horrible. It reminded me of Kaopectate. I’m not big on pepperminty smells. A full size bottle sells for $18.50

 

 

 

 

 

OFRA Cosmetics Universal Eyebrow pencil ~ I don’t use brow pencils, but I might give this one a try. Full size (this one is) sells for $10

 

 

 

 

 

 

Almond & Aloe Hand & Body Emulsion by Caswell-Massey ~ I don’t want to tear this open yet, but I’m dying to. I LOVE almond scented anything! This is a tad bit premature, but if it’s anything like other almond creams I’ve tried, I wont hesitate to buy it. The full-sized price of $24 doesn’t scare me. LOL Oh and the fact that it’s paraben-free and not tested on animals… Yup, I’ll probably buy it.

 

 

 

 

Sebastian Color Ignite Multi Tone Shampoo & Conditioner ~ Full shampoo is $14.95 and the conditioner is $16.95. Doesn’t smell too bad. I’ll have to see how well it works though. One thing that has me super curious to try it is, the conditioner looks like it has a foam applicator.

 

 

 

 

 

Senna Cosmetics Double Dose Lip Lacquer ~ Chocolate Cherry ~ YUM Will try this before work tomorrow. I’m glad it’s full-sized, the color is something I’d wear. We’ll see how well it looks on me though. Sells for $22.00

Loving my box and I feel it’s worth the $21. Can’t wait to see what August brings!

~D
