Glossybox December 2012

Love my Glossybox. I have not had any issues with them so far and I have never been disappointed in a box yet. This is my third so that makes me an expert! <grin> Not really but the truth is, it's my favorite box and I love the samples.

Here is my December box...

Glossybox December 2012

They used some cute Christmas tissue paper this month.

Product Card

Forest Essentials Luxurious Ayurveda

This is a Madurai Jasmine & Mogra Bath and Shower Oil. This stuff smells really good. I am looking forward to using it after my next shower. Applying it to my hand it seems to absorb pretty quickly.
Edited to add that a couple minutes after smelling this I got a massive migraine. After it went away I smelled it again to see if it was truly the culprit. Yep... I will be tossing this. Sad because I liked the way it smelled.

Acacia Protein Hair Oil--Pleats Please Fragrance

The hair oil isn't something I am jumping for joy about. It is a small vial with a rubber stopper so using it will be a mess. I may not even bother. I have several nice oils in spray bottles that are easy to use.

The Pleats Please smells great. I really like it and will enjoy rotating it into my other samples. One day I will have to pick a couple I like the most and buy a full size.

Heartland Frangrance CO Bath Salts

I love my bath time and I am looking forward to using these. The smell is clean and nice

Oscar Blandi Heat protecting spray

I have never used a dry spray like this so I am interested in how it works. I will update my finding at a later time.

Zoya in Ziv

I am a polish hoarder so this makes me happy. It is a beautiful Gold.

Glossybox sent rings from Jewelmint this month. Cute rings but mine and REALLY tiny. I can not even wear them on my pinky. These I will pass to my daughter. The one on the right is interesting, half silver half gold.

Polish and Rings

Glossybox-November 2012

This is my favorite box that I get each month. At $21 a month I expect more and they definitely deliver.

Novenber 2012 Glossybox

This is what I got!

Illamasque Lip and Eye medium pencil. Mine is the color Flinch.
I tried to wear this as an eyeliner and it did not show up. The pencil was a bit hard. If anyone has any ideas for me to use this. I would be grateful. In highschool we would just use a lighter to soften it up. Not sure of I can do that with this. hehe

Lierac Gommage Sensoriel

Everything on the bottle is French (I think). But the BG card says it is a gel-oil texture scrub. It turns into a milk when it comes into contact with damp skin. Smooths, tones, and has invigorating exfoliation.

I have NOT tried this yet. Usually I would have been using this everyday since getting it, but my face is ezema melt down. (sounds sexy doesn't it?!) I am a bit wary about washing my face with it. Later, when I get a chance I will update this post.

I did put a bit on the top of my hand and it has some pretty large coarse bits in it compared to the facial scrubs I am used to. It also has a strong perfume scent to it. I happen to like the smell.

Nume Arganics by Nume Argan Oil

Rich in Vitamin E and other beneficial fatty acids. Non-greasy and specially formulated for rapid penetration.
It says this is good for hair and skin.  I have not tried it on my hair yet but I did use it on the top of my hands. It did in fact absorb quickly. My hands very very smooth and soft. I may have to buy it for my body. I really like it and the smell is nice and refreshing.

Nume also included a $100 gift certificate toward their professional styling tools. I looked at the site and the prices are higher than I thought they would be. I know the high end hair gadgets can be quite pricey but I have no personal knowledge about what is or is not too much. I am an air dry girl most days.

Perfumies Solid Perfume Stick- My scent is Skinny Dipping

It is a cute little stick of perfume that would be wonderful if I liked mine. It doesn't smell bad. It is just not something I would wear.

Skin&Co Roma  Truffle Serum: Hydro-Toning Day Face Serum

Age fighting serum infused with Peptides, pure extracts of Tuber Melanosporum and Hyaluronic Acid.

I have not tried it. Again I will try after my eczema flare up has went away.

All in all I really like this box. I have to wait to use a couple of things but I am OK with that. Now the waiting for the next box to arrive begins!

Glossybox-October 2012

This is the first subscription box I have ever had. To say I was excited is an understatement. 

 Carols Daughter-Almond Cookie- Shea Souffle'- 4oz

A superbly rich and fast absorbing daily moisturizer containing Shea butter, Cocoa butter, and Jojoba oil to help you reach your skins optimal softness. This Shes souffle' is a non-greasy and free of parabens, minerals oil and artificial colors.

I really love this stuff. It is smooth, creamy, and smells fabulous. The scent also lasted all day. I will definitely be purchasing this when it is gone.


Alterna Bamboo- Luminous Shine Mist- 0.85 oz

 An eco-certified shine mist made with Indian gooseberry and organic bamboo that controls frizz and flyaways. It is a brilliant and weightless gloss for any hair type.

This stuff made my hair feel pretty soft and it did control frizz. The smell had a really strong clean soap smell to me. I did not care for that. I would use it in a pinch but would rather stick to my Moroccan Oil.

Alessandro Pedix Heel Rescue Balm- 1 oz
A perfect foot-care aid for dry, chapped feet imported exclusively from Germany. When used regularly, the rich cream with MarinaVital complex provides lasting protection against calluses.

I have really bad callus on my heels if I do not take care of my feet. It is truly awful. This is a nice cream. It has a nice fresh minty smell to it that is not to over bearing. I have only used it 2 times so I can not say what it does over time but so far I like it.

Heartland Fragrances Exfoliating Loofa Soap- full size 6 oz
A truly unique hand poured loofa soap encased in gentle glycerin provides the perfect blend of moisture and exfoliation. This sap is designed to increase the circulation and is great for exfoliating. Use on rough dry areas.

 
 If you like hard core exfoliation, this is the soap for you. I on the other hand am a big baby. Seriously, even the brush on a stick things are too much for me.This thing hurt! I was so focused on how much this thing was tormenting me, that I did not really pay attention to the scent. I will stick to my soft billowy puff.



Modelco Lip Duo Lipstick & Ultra Shine Lip Gloss -full size .13 oz color / .07 oz gloss
An ultimate pairing in lip colour- a flawless, long-lasting lipstick & an intense beaming gloss. Each may be worn separately or layered for an individually tailored hue.

The colors I got was Dusk lipstick and Striptease gloss. Nice subtle colors. I like the lip color with the gloss on top best. I don't like the color by itself. The lipstick is nice and creamy and the glossy is a not overly sticky.

I really enjoyed getting this Glossybox. Completely worth the $21. I can't wait till next month!
