DISCLAIMER: IF YOU DON'T WANT TO RUIN THE SURPRISE.. TURN AWAY NOW!
hello friends! what a good day today!!!! i had to go to the dentist to get cavities filled (hurted) and then i came home to the glorious box (which my dad tried to hide from me...the guy). THIS IS MY FIRST EVER GLOSSYBOX! yaaaaay. super exciting. anyways... just to get right down to it, if there is anyone out there who aren't sure about what glossybox is, or whether or not they should subscribe ... glossybox is a monthly subscription to receive samples/full size products on your doorstep. glossybox canada have only been around for just over a year now, and i really..really hope they advance. there are a few things in this box that i'm really thrilled about and some that i have issues with. in this months box i received...
- full sized model-co cheek + lip tint in shade rosy red. $24.00 value - i'm really excited about this particular product because it seems really, really nice. i tried a bit of it on the back of my hand, and the texture is really neat. it's very liquid-like and light. it also smells like raspberries -which is lovely- and the color is super pretty aswell.
- jergens natural glow 3 days to glow moisturizer, full size. $12.99 value - this product is fine, i haven't had the best luck with bronzing self tanning lotions before, so we'll see the quality of this. the only thing that bugs me is that i find that our glossyboxes tend to send more drugstore brand stuff, i'd really love to see more samples of the higher luxe brands of make-up/beauty products. but its a full sized bottle, so i really shouldn't be complaining... but still.
- l'oreal paris youth code serum intense - we received four samples of these, which are more than one use. that's definitely not bad. i did try this out today, and it made my skin really soft. i'm curious to see the effects it'll have in your daily routine. the full sized 30ml bottle is $29.99
- TRESEMME PLATINUM STRENGTH DEEP CONDITIONING TREATMENT or TRESEMME KERATIN SMOOTH HEAT PROTECTION SHINE SPRAY. full size, $5.99 value. -i received the platinum strength deep conditioning treatment, you either got one or the other. i ombre my hair so i'll definitely try this out and see if it diminishes some of the damage i have from bleaching it... let you know how that goes.
- beautiful movements loose eyeshadow sample in shade platinum tiara. for the full size (2g) it's $10.99. it's a really pretty sparkly grey color.
- lastly, i received two coupons. -l'oreal youth code $3.00 off of the dark spot day cream or the bb cream AND a coupon for buy any biore pore strips and get any cleanser for free

I am also subscribed to Ipsy. Is Glossybox worth it? Which do you prefer? Seems like most of the stuff is drugstore in that particular box. Nice post! xo
ReplyDeletethis is my dilemma because it is all drugstore products in this box with the exception of the cheek + lip tint, and the eyeshadow. the other items are nothing that i haven't seen nor tried before, so therefore i'm not really interested in trying out those products. i wish that they would have more brands like clinique, nars, benefit, ect. products that i'd love trying to see if i would repurchase. i do love the idea of glossybox, and i know that they have a lot of really good stuff in other countries. canada just hasn't gotten there yet i suppose. i would recommend trying out one box and see what you think, if you live in canada it's 21.00 per month (so per box). you can cancel your subscription at any time, so you could try it out once, and then cancel right after if you change your mind. as for which one is my favorite, i can't answer that yet because i just recently had gotten off the waiting list for ipsy, so i haven't received my first bag yet! so fingers crossed it's good! i hope this helped at all?! x
DeleteI got the same Model-co Tint in my February box, it's really pretty and soon became my so far favorite GlossyBox surprise :)..
ReplyDeleteI love your blog design btw, it's so cute <3
