Glamabox was started in 2011 by Hong Kong international model Lisa S. For a monthly fee of $$22.79, you’ll receive a tightly curated box of five beauty products selected by Lisa S. herself.
Every month the box is a different color. I’ve kept all my boxes. They are so sturdy and cute!
There seems to be a theme: World Tour?
As always this box is packed with goodies.

Another interesting box from Glamabox. I may not like everything in it, but mainly because I have no clue what it is and what it does. It’s still a nice treat! I LOVE trying new thing and I’m newly addicted to foreign boxes. 🙂
I paid for this box and all opinions are mine. ~D
Lip Factory ~ May 2014
Lip Factory for May totes “Spring Has Sprung.
Lip Factory Inc, is an exclusive makeup subscription service. It’s $22 a month. Lip Factory sends a mixture of cosmetic products, but every four months they do their “All About the Lips” box. The next one will probably be in June.
This month as only 5 products, but they are amazing!
MeMeMe Cosmetics Blush Me! ($14.25) This is a boxed blush. It comes with a mirror and a soft bristled brush. The only thing I can find on the shade is it’s pink. Even so, I can’t wait ti try it!
Medusa’s Makeup Eyeshadow (Jungle Fever) ($8) There is no way I can pull this off. It’s beautiful, but not for me.
Pari Beauty Lipstick (Pinky Promise) ($12) I actually love this shade and will be able to use it! YaY!
Teeez Trendy Cosmetics: Golden Glow Lip Gloss (Classy Champagne) ($18) Did I tell you how much I LOVE Teeze products. There has not been one that I did not like. I just wish they shipped to the US. Until then I have to rely on LF to give me my fix.
NCLA Nail Wraps ($16) Not keen on the color, but then again I wear acrylics so this will go to a friend.
OMG I love love love this box! If you subscribe PLEASE give my referral number 385634. I’d greatly appreciate it! ~
I gladly paid for this box and all opinions are mine. ~D
Memebox Global Edition 9
The original Memebox comes packed with 4 – 8 full sized products and deluxe samples, carefully curated from Korea to give you the best experience and widest exposure to a range of products.Boxes in each Memebox series always contain the same products, and contents vary from hair and body products, to skin care and cosmetics.
PRICE: $23 plus $6.99 shipping. I must warn you these sell out FAST!

Kerasys Oriental Premium Shampoo ($30) Will nourish your hair while moisturizing and sealing split ends.
Savia Magic Count Down 7 Days EGF & Multi-Peptide ($30) I have no idea what this is other than it’s a 7 day treatment. Umm it’s for skin troubles.
Jaminkyung Gokmul Care Creamy Cleansing Masque ($45) – This is made of rice grains, which are supposed to reach deep down and fill your skin with “blooming nutrients.” Other bloggers said it stunk. Kind of scared to try it. LOL
Ellegirl I Say Tint You Say Gloss ($23) – There were three color options of this gloss available, and I got Rock Berry.
Botanic Hill Boh Moist & Radiant Youth Ampoule Essence ($7.20) – These are actually two products, Moist Youth and Radiant Youth. I’m not sure if they’re designed to be used together or what, or whether the price listed was for one or both items. I combined the sizes of the sample size and used that to figure out a cost, using the supplied cost of one “full-size” item as listed on the card.
Luna Wonder Essential BB Foundation ($13) Not a fan of BB cream..
As always I love my Memebox!

This sounds silly, but I love how these bottles are in deed square! 🙂 Yes, I’m easily amused!
As I mentioned before they have a monthly theme. This theme is Rio
Here is what I got…
Lebion ~ A deep green. My my shade, but my mom will totally love it!
Copacabana ~ A bold bright blue glitter! I love it! It also has sort of a holographic look to it.
Ipanema ~ A yellowish a microglitter
I’ve tried the Copacabana and I must say I love the formula. It didn’t take too many coats to achieve the color of the bottle.
OH how I hope they send me next month to review. The theme is supposed to me Maui!!!
Thank you so much Square Hue for being the the opportunity to review your polish for FREE in exchange for my review. ~D
From The Lab ~ May 2014
From The Lab who kindly sent me this box to review. Each month, you will receive a full, 30-day supply of one, two, or three products of Skin Care, Hair Care, or Colour Cosmetics. Every product that you receive is a luxury product, not yet available in the US, with a projected retail value of $50-$200. These products often have patented ingredients, are manufactured in Europe by the top labs, and are more innovative than what’s available on the US market today.
Cost: $29.95 / month + $5.95 shipping to US. Shipment will be to Canada in the coming months.
The box comes with a in depth brochure on the product(s) y0u’ll receive for the month. This month I got a Micro Cellular Body Treatment No. 615. The estimated value is $65
To use apply to slightly damp skin on entire body and well as hands both morning and night.
Be sure to apply liberally to neck, chest and de’collete’ as they often show signs of aging sooner than the rest of the body.
TIP
The healing and collegen building properties of Micro Cellular Body Treatment No. 615 work most effectitively in the evening.
This tube is a whopping 6.7 ounce. It will last for quite a long time. IMPRESSIVE!
Unless From The Lab decided to let me try a few more products, I might break down when my finances are better and sub to this box.
Glossybox USA ~ Bergdorf Goodman May 2014
The Bergdorf Goodman GLOSSYBOX for women has a multitude of variations so my box may not be typical of the one you’d end up with. There are 15 different items and you’ll be receiving 6 of them with at least one item from Napoleon Perdis, Revive and Lancer. There are so many wonderful products that your box will be a delightful surprise. Here are my great surprises:
Along with the goodies, we got a $25 gift card to BG. It’s behind this card that lists are loot. *** I got a fabulous nail polish FREE with this gift card!
Philip B Light ~ Weight Deep Conditioning Cream Rinse
Napoloeon Perdis ~ Auto Pilot Pre Foundation Skin Primer
Lancome ~ Absoloute L’Extraint Regenerating Untilmate Elixir
Napoleon Perdis ~ Auto Pilot Pre-Foundtion Skin Primer
Lancer ~ Eye contour Lifing Cream
I must say, I am excited about everything in this box! I can’t wait it try it all!
I can’t wait to see if I can actually use the gift card from BG. Now that would be a true bonus!

Julep ~ Golden Ticket Mystery Box May 2014
Julep’s May mystery box! May Golden Ticket Mystery Box.
PRICE: $24.99 w/ FREE shipping
This month they offered three different Golden Ticket Mystery Boxes. They promised no overlap between boxes. Not only was there no overlap between box versions, all nail polish and beauty products featured in the Golden Ticket Mystery Boxes are NEW to mystery boxes this year!
Three lucky winners will find a gold-capped, confetti-filled polish bottle inside—a golden ticket! If you find it, you’ll get to name a Julep polish from an upcoming Maven collection. Once it’s released, you’ll get 25 bottles to share with friends.
I chose box Golden Ticket Mystery Box #3 and purchased the $14.99 ($42 value) Add-On. It was the May Birthstone Collection Pricilla. BEAUTIFUL!
*sigh* I didn’t find a golden ticket.
If they keep sending Forget-Me-Not seeds I’m going to have a field of them! Well, that’s if I plant them. 😛
Halo Gloss Set ~ Merriment & Peace. UHH so not new. I’ve seen these on the website since the Holidays. Grrrr. I’ve always wanted them though.
The colors I got are more suited for fall. Oh well.
NIC ~ Bombshell a creme finish
Scarlett ~ Classic With a Twist, Chrome Metallic/Chrome
Steve ~ Boho Glam, Sheer/Frost/Pearl
Shoshonna ~ It Girl, Glitter. yellow Glitter. UGH I think I got this is the March mystery box for St. Patty’s Day.
Glam Roc ~ It Girl, Special Finish.
With the exception of Glam rock, all polishes were from 2013. SO much for NEW
Needless to day, I did not get the June Mystery boxes. My luck they’ll be good LOL

The Maz Box ~ May 2014 Final Box
The Maz Box is a subscription box from Korea that features skincare and beauty products. They feature a variety of full size products and tools from well known brands for $25.00 a month.
I am sad to report that this is their final month. They are closing their subscription and morphing into a different business strategy. They’re going to do something with fashion. I literally cried! I love this box!
Here is my last Maz box. *sniff*
Sweet Dot Stick for nail polish art.
Twinkle Polish ~ I received the gold Twinkle polish in a previous box and was in love with it, but There’s holographic rainbow glitter pieces in it! It may work after all.
Full Volume Mascara ~ This mascara is full size, but it’s on the small size. That’s totally fine with me. I go through mascara pretty quickly and toss them out. I’ll only keep one for three months max, so this is perfect.
Green Grape Shiffon Body Cream. I love the smell and texture of this cream!
Flamingo Eyebrow Razor uhh it’s too big for eye browns, but I did read ujp on i an it’s indeed for shaving the femme foliage.
