Erin’s Christmas Must-Have Number 8!

Give the gift of GLOSSYBOX!

 

If you are looking for a gift with big wow factor look no further than GlossyBox. If you’re not familiar with them, they are a beauty sampling subscription. Glossybox is $21 a month  and that includes shipping, they specialize in luxury beauty brands from around the world. They just came to the US with this service in April.

You could order just a single month or go for a multiple month subscription. I have received a few of the boxes and I can say they do not disappoint! From the beautiful pink box and tissue the wow factor is there before you even see your samples. And its not just tiny samples each month I have received 2 or more full sized products. And when I price them out the retail price of my boxes has never been under $60.

Something fun and different for the beauty addict in your life. She will love how beautifully it arrives and all the great new products to try.

Inside My September Box:


GK Global Keratin Hair | Moisturizing Shampoo (Full sized cost: $20, sample size 1 oz GK Global Keratin Hair | Balancing Conditioner (Full sized cost: $20, sample size 1 oz): This is the conditioner that matches the shampoo. I really like this combo it was great at detangling my hair and smells amazing.
Koh Gen Do | Cleansing Spa Water (Full sized product!!! Cost: $13.00): A Full Sized product, Yeah! One of the reasons that I love GLOSSYBOX, the “samples” are so generous! Made with mineral-rich Japanese hot spring water, this best selling spa water is infused with six essential herbs to protect and nurture skin. In a single sweep, it gently removes makeup and skin’s toughest impurities.  I generally shy away from makeup removers becuase I can’t stand that oily feeling. Koh Gen Do’s Cleansing Spa Water is insane its so gentle it feels like water and removed even my most stubborn waterproof mascara. I like that it left no residue, really an amazing product I would have never know about without GLOSSYBOX.
Kryolan for GLOSSYBOX | Moisture Rich Lipstick in GLOSSYpink (Full Sized Product! Cost $14.00): I have loved all the Kryolan products I have tried in my GLOSSYBOX. The Moisture rich lipstick really hydrates my lips which is essential this time of year. The color is beautiful  a very wearable natural pink.
Missha | M Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF 42 (Full sized product #3!!! Cost: $29.99!): I have been dying to try a BB cream, thank you GLOSSYBOX! I like the texture of the Missha BB Cream it goes on really well and provides even coverage. I noticed after a few weeks it really had evened the tone of my skin and a faint sunspot has dissappeared. While I do really like the BB cream it can feel a bit heavy with oily skin. I find I get a bit more shine when wearing this so I like to set it with powder.

June GlossyBox Review: Summer Simplicity

I have been so impressed with GlossyBox! The sample sizes are huge, and each box contains some full sized products. The brands are all major upscale brands, with truly great products. The July box theme is Summer Simplicity- pampering your body and revitalizing your skin and hair to bring out your natural beauty.

If you haven’t tried out GlossyBox yet, I suggest you do!  Glossybox is a beauty sample subscription service that sends you travel-sized luxury products from around the world on a monthly basis.

Summer Simplicity

First Aid Beauty Smooth Shave Cream ($16.50 for 6.8 fl. oz- I received 2.0 fl. oz)- I love the First Aid Beauty lines but had not tried their Beauty Shave Cream yet. It super thick and creamy and not only made a close shave a cinch it left my legs feeling super soft and moisturized, perfect for summer!

Beauty Addicts Show-OFF Mascara ($20 for a full size product – I received a full size)- The Beauty Addict brand is new to me but I am very impressed. It definitely lives up to its name, not only does it make my lashes look super long but it also gives them a ton of volume.

Kinerase Restructure Firming Cream ( $98 for 1.7 oz- I received .24 oz)-Ahh Kinerase such amazing products the box is a great deal for this huge sample alone! I have been using it every night and it leaves my skin so soft and I have started to see an improvement in texture. Love, love, love!

Shea Terra Organics Ultimate Moisturizing Body Creme in White Chocolate ($18 for 9 oz- I received 1 oz)-  This stuff smells amazing! Its crazy thick but it absorbs so quickly and leaves no residue.

Wella Professionals Enrich Moisturizing Treatment ($12 for 5.07 oz- I received .84 fl. oz)- A great deep conditioner only 5 minutes does the trick. Even with super fine curly hair this conditioner was able to deep condition without weighing down my hair. Left it silky smooth and very moisturized.

BONUS: Perfume Sample of Urban Organic from a Perfume Organic
- ($65.00 for Full Size, I received 0.41 oz.) The scent is described as “a sweet lemon sorbet with bourbon, tangy lime peel, basil, ginger and smoky vetiver…” and it’s as rich and complex as it sounds. I’m really impressed with this fragrance, very fresh and citrusy but the deep undertones are such a great addition. The best part is how long wearing it is, I could still smell this delicious scent hours later.

Bonus and New GlossyBox Addition: Another new edition the my Glossy box was the summer Glossy Mag – a small pamphlet that included some product information and how-tos.  Usually these magazine are just a flip and toss but the Glossy Mag had some really great tips on summer beauty and hair looks and tips for looking good in the heat.
