December Glossybox

Hi everyone! How are you doing? I know this is a bit late but I'm trying to catch up on my box reviews, so here is the December Glossybox review. It was a good box, lets take a look inside..

1. Anatomicals You need a blooming shower! ($9.50)- I really loved this body wash. It smells exactly like roses and it didn't make my skin dry either! This vitalizing body cleanser makes every shower a flower-power experience. The natural healing properties of rose and jasmine leave you feeling as fresh and fragrant as a flower.

2. Naobay Oxygenating Cream Moisturizing ($56)- Out of everything in this box I was most excited to try this product. Because I have finicky eczema prone skin I am always on the hunt for a great moisturizer. I was pleased with the product and it worked well. It's a bit thicker than I normally like, but it was still non-greasy and provided plenty of hydration. Oxygenating Cream moisturizes, protects and softens: this universal cream meets, in a single product, the essential needs of hydration for all skin types. Its special composition based on high-quality plant extracts and organic vegetable oils, such as Rosehip oil and Sweet Almond oil, helps ideally balance the skin’s hydrolipidic film.



3. Michael Todd True Organics Pumpkin Nutrient-Rich Facial Mask ($34)- This mask smells so much like fresh pumpkin you will think it's Thanksgiving. And exfoliant lovers will give Thanks! That tingle is the pumpkin enzyme combining with glycolic acid to go to town on your skin’s flaws dissolving impurities like dead skin and clogged pores. Adds brightness and radiance to the skin and significantly improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles after a single use.

4. nails inc. Victoria Polish ($9.50)- This nail polish is SO gorgeous! I already own a lot of vampy like colors but this one was unique. It was a bit red, a bit antique-y, and really shiny too. After two or three coats the color became opaque and wore for two weeks with a bottom and top clear coat.



5. Ardency Inn PUNKER World’s Baddest Eyeliner ($19)- PUNKER eyeliner is easier to use than traditional liquid liners and offers endless possibilities of application. Its oversized felt tip applicator tapers to a precise point for maximum versatility. The short and thick “maker pen” design allows for optimum control during application. The high performance formula glides on smooth and quick-dries to a long lasting finish. Because I prefer thinner eyeliners, I will be gifting this to a friend.

I thought this box was good again. I loved the Victoria nail polish and the Anatomicals rose body wash. What did you guys think of this box? Thank you so much for reading and see you next Monday! :)

Germany December Glossybox

Hello everyone!

Happy 2014 and hope everyone's year is off to a great start. Personally, I'm really looking forward to 2014 because I am in the process of moving to Germany to start a new adventure. Between furnishing my apartment and picking up a new language I have been super busy lately. However, I can't wait to jump back into blogging here because there are so many great new products to be reviewed. The beauty industry in Germany is incredible and they have so many natural organic skin care and makeup items. Without further ado, I give you my two cents on Germany's December Glossybox.

Gorgeous pacakaging as usual…





1. Bella Pierre Mineral Blush in Dessert Rose (£29.99)- When I first opened this box I was most excited to this get blush! It's mineral, rosy, and costs a whopping 30 pounds! The color wears like a very natural faint rose on my skin and it's super pretty. It's one of those blushes for my no makeup, makeup days. In short, it's awesome.

2. Mary Kay Satin Hands Hand Cream ($10)- Yup, another hand cream in my box. I can never get enough of hand creams and I was happy to receive this. The hand cream goes on super light and it absorbs really quickly as well. Loves it!

3. Batiste Dry Shampoo ($7.49)- Ah! An original Bastiste Dry Shampoo. I actually have another one in Cherry and I really like it. Dry shampoo has vastly improved the quality of my life by saving shower time and not stripping my hair of it's natural oils. The scent of this one is fresh and a bit florally. I always have a dry shampoo laying around somewhere. :)



4. nails inc. Victoria Polish (£11.00)- Victoria nail polish is a deep cherry red shade. Victoria can be worn with any colour, any outfit and for any occasion. I painted two coats and it's like a vampy dark red. Very pretty and suitable for the winter.

5. Eau Thermale Avène D-Pigment Rich Dark Spot Lightener, 30ml (£35.00)- Eau Thermale Avène D-Pigment Rich Dark Spot Lightener is a treatment for dry to very dry skin which corrects localised or widespread brown spots, prevents the appearance of new brown spots and evens out the skin's complexion. I will test this on my sun spots eventually!



As a bonus they threw in a free mini notebook for notes. So cute! Yeah, I have to say that Glossybox seems consistently awesome in America and in Germany. I was really happy with this box and I will definitely be continuing this subscription. Thank you so much for following us and supporting us. I can't wait to bring you all new product reviews from both America and Germany in 2014! Have a wonderful week! <3

July Glossybox

Hi everyone!

So July's Glossybox came in the mail and I have some mixed feelings on it. There are three products that I'm really happy with, and three that I'm not overly thrilled about. Let's look inside the box...

1. Brazilian Blowout Acai Deep Conditioning Masque (full size $40)- A creamy, rich, intense conditioning masque drenches the hair once a week by coating each hair strand with exclusive, nutritive proteins to eliminate frizz, promote shine, and guarantee the longest-lasting smoothing result. Yay! I've been hoping to be sent a hair mask for a long time now and was so excited to get this in my box. I left it in my hair for about 7 minutes in the shower and my hair was really soft and untangled after. It also smells like acai berries! The sample is pretty generous and I'm definitely going to get at least two more uses out of it.

2. Bvlgari Eau Parfumee au the Blanc Shampoo & Shower Gel (full size $42)- Both men and women can wear this delicate, soothing white tea scent with white pepper accents, day or evening. White Tea, the principal ingredient, has been used in China as an elixir of youth because of its antioxidant and revitalizing properties. Cultivated only a few times per year, this rare essence imparts an overall sense of well being. Ok, I have to admit I was a bit skeptical to try the Bvlgari shower gel because I have super dry skin so I'm really picky about what I use in the shower. However, I did give it a try and it's pretty good! My skin wasn't dried out and it has a really lovely flowery scent to it. As a shampoo it didn't get my hair clean. I even lathered it in twice but no luck there.

3. Evologie Intensive Blemish Serum (full size $35)-Doctor developed, patent pending, formulation that deeply penetrates the skin to quickly clear blemishes at the source. Ah! Another product I was excited to get. For the most part I have pretty clear skin, but I do get these monster pimples here and there (probably from all the chocolate I eat.) The texture of the product is a sheer creamy liquid and the scent is minty fresh. After using it morning and night for two days it shrunk my monster pimple but didn't get rid of it. I'm still quite happy with the product.



4. Figs & Rouge Cherry Blossom Tinted Lip Balm ($9)- The packaging of this lip balm is so adorable and I love how Glossybox actually sent a full size product. The balm itself is really nice, not too sticky and it smells great. However, the color just didn't flatter me so I don't know how often I'll be wearing it.

5. Nails Inc. Baker Street Nail Polish (full size 9.50)- As much as getting nail polish is great, I really don't know what I'm going to do with a cobalt blue nail polish. Pass..



6. Nicka K New York ABSOLUTE! Make-up Cleansing Tissues (full size 6.99)- Made of delicate spun lace, Absolute! Make-up Cleansing Tissues are gentle enough for sensitive complexions, but strong enough to effectively remove lipstick, eyeliner, eyeshadow and even waterproof mascara. I can always use some extra make-up wipes so i was happy to receive this in my box. Right now, it's going into my surplus box until I need it.

Overall I was pretty happy with my box and I think the hair mask is probably my favorite item out of the entire box. Do any of you subscribe to Glossybox? If so, what did you think of this month's items?
