November Glossybox

Hello beauties!

How is everyone doing? I hope your Monday is off to a good start. November's Glossybox is here and it's quite good. Lets take a look at what was inside..



1. Mastey Color Protecting Leave-in Oil Treatment with Argan Oil & Olive Oil (full size $40)- Yes a hair oil! Thank you Glossybox for introducing me to the glorious world of hair oils. I put this oil in my damp hair and let my hair air dry. The result is hydrated and smooth hair. My cow licks even disappeared. Mastey's Color Protecting Leave In Oil Treatment is a special combination of Certified Argan Oil, Olive Oil, and GrapeSeed Extract. This unique combination provides the maximum protection and healing for color treated and damaged hair.



2. Jelly Pong Pong 2-in-1 Shadow/liner in Plum (full size $10.50)- This eyeshadow/liner glides on smoothly and easily. I like the application and the color was more of a mauve rather than a plum. The color didn't look too good on me, but it would look beautiful on someone else. A uniquely formulated crayon that doubles as an eyeliner for thick, precise lines as well as a perfectly-blended eye shadow. The exclusive combination of Italian-formulated waxes and pigments allows you to build up the colour, smudge or create bold lines quickly and easily.



3. Nicka K Blending Brush (full size $5)- Yess! A blending brush. I was just looking for a blending brush the other day and couldn't find a good affordable one. This one is soft and only five bucks. Score! Ideal for all over shadow, or for applying airbrushed, natural final touches to any eye look, our Nicka K Professional blending brush is a must-have, versatile addition to any brush collection.



4. The Aloe Source Jojoba Radiance Cleansing Polish (full size $30)- This cleanser has small beads in it and smells just like aloe. This multi-tasking, sulfate-free cleanser effectively removes makeup, oil and impurities. Gently exfoliates with a combination of jojoba microbeads and alpha and beta hydroxy acids, while nourishing aloe vera soothes skin.

5. Emite Eyeshadow in Dams (full size $27)- What a luxurious product to give us Glossybox. I could see this eyeshadow being used for a smokey eye look, or even just as eyeliner.

What did you guys think of this month's Glossybox? Thank you so much for reading! <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?
