Archive for the ‘Glossybox’ Category

 

Februarys’ (got it March 4th Grrr) GLOSSYBOX theme is International Style. Aside from the lateness I am super impressed with this box! 4 out of the 5 products are FULL size. 🙂

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bvlgari Eau Parfumee Au The Blanc soap: Hailing from famed Italian jewelry house Bvlgari, this deluxe creamy beauty soap is lightly scented with the rejuvenating fragrance of Eau Parfum’ee Au The’ Blanc. It’s to thouroughly cleanse and moisturize your skin, leaving it radiant, clean and supple. 

Full Size: $30/5.3 oz

It’s not light scented, it’s heavy and not so pleasant.

 

 

 

 

 

Da Vinci Cosmetics ~ Shimmer Powder: Lava This versatile shimmering mineral powder is one of America’s best kept beauty secrets. Use as highlighter for eyes and cheeks.

Full Size $15

I love the color, but it’s too dark to use as a highlighter as they suggested. I’ll just use it on my eyes.

 

 

 

 

 

Missha ~ Super Aqua Cell Renew Snail Hydro Gel Mask: This innovative hydro gel mask is an Asian beauty secret. (OK this box seems to be full of secrets! Not anymore after I post this.) It’s to moisturize, soothe and regenerate your skin and is known to reverse skin damage as well as have a natural healing power. NICE!

Full Size $6/.98 oz

 

 

 

 

Lisi Sheer Sparkle Gloss~ Brooklyn Bridge 07:  Exclusively available at a New York beauty boutiques, this lip gloss is the perfect product to punch up your look. With a semi-sheer formula that is rich with shine and features a delectable scent, the gloss is perfect to layer over your lipstick for a glam pout.

Full Size $7/.31oz

I’m afraid to try it. It’s really orange looking (seriously like the picture) even though they claim it’s sheer.

 

 

 

 

 

Nail Rock Nail Wraps ~ Black & White Stripe: Take a walk on the wild side with these UK fashion forward nail wraps. Designed to last for up to 10 days with no chipping or drying time.

Full Size $8/Full Set

These look super fun and will make my toes look funky! Love it!

 

I paid for this fabulous box out of my own pocket. I chose to share it and all opinions, or lack of are 100% mine. 🙂

Are you ready for this month’s GlossyBox? Opening my GlossyBox is always a treat. It’s like opening a SPECIAL gift just for me. From the luxe pink box, to the perfect pink bow and confetti inside, I just love it!

October’s theme is Spa Luxe. “Let Go, Unwind, Restore” The card reads:

GlossyBox delivers a unique experience of indulgences this month, ensuring your moment of beautiful, pure relaxation.  Break away from the daily grind and immerse yourself in a luxurious array of treatments designed to refresh and rejuvenate your mind, body and spirit.  The combination of products, essential for a pampering Spa Luxe experience, are ideal for creating a sense of well-being and the ultimate beauty oasis. 

 

 

Alterna Bamboo ~ Luminous Shine Mist. An eco-certified shine mist made with Indian gooseberry (I always wanted to know what that smelt like.) and organic bamboo that controls frizz and flyaways.  It’s a brilliant and weightless gloss for any hair type.  I sprayed it and it’s too “woodsy” for me. I’m not sure if that’s the way to put it. I think it may have leaked as well. The entire box and it’s contents smell of bamboo. Full size $22/4oz

 

 

 

 

 

Heartland Fragrances ~ Exfoliating Loofa Soap. A unique hand-poured loofa soap encased in a gently glycerin provides the perfect blend of moisture and exfoliation. This soap is designed to improve circulation and is great for exfoliating. It looks pretty cool, but smells like bamboo. LOL I’ll probably still try it though. I’m curious to see if it really does exfoliate. I’m sure once I open it I’ll get the scent of peppermint as well. 😉  Full size $8/8oz

 

 

 

 

 

MODELCO ~ Lip Duo Lipstick & Ultra Shine Lip Gloss.  This looks like much fun! It’s an ultimate pairing in lip-color – a flawless (we’ll see) long-lasting lipstick & an intense beaming gloss. You can’t see it, but on the other side is a mirror. The Shade is “Dusk” and the lip-gloss is “Striptease”. Like most other lippy stuff I’ve received from GB it looks horrible in the tube, but quite nice on.  I’ll have to try this later when I’m home and can take a proper picture.  Full size $39/Lipstick .13 oz Lipgloss .07oz

 

 

 

 

 

Carol’s Daughter ~ Shea Souffle’ (big container) Nastassja Skin ~ Enzyme Facial Peel (little container) The Souffle’ is in “Ecstasy” a rich moisturizer containing SHEA butter, Cocoa butter and Jojoba oil. It’s not greasy (it truly is) and free of parabens, mineral oil and artificial color. Smells quite nice too. Sugared Strawberry, Island Mango and Egyptian Musk Full size $20/8oz

Enzyme Facial Peel is infused with vitamins and nutrients. It exfoliates with a papain, a naturally occurring enzyme in papaya, and gently eliminates dead, dry skin cells. I need to look through my loot, because if I’m not mistaken I got this same thing in another “subscription box”.  If so, just like the other I’m hesitant to try it. Facial peels HURT. Yes, I’m a wienie.

 

Along with my beautiful box and it’s lovely luxe contents came a coupon for 20% off any Physique 57 Barre Workout DVD and an issue of GlossyBox Mag. Roughly 20 pages of tips, product reviews, and behind-the-scenes info on this month’s box.  Once again I’m happy with my GlossyBox and can’t wait until next month!
