Review: Glossybox November 2015

Review: Glossybox November 2015

Yeah! My first Glossybox came.  Glossybox is a beauty subscription box that features 5 to 6 luxury sized samples of beauty products for just $21 every month.  If you subscribe for 12 months, its just $18.50 per month. (Free shipping within the US.)  They promise that the box's value is more than twice the price you’d pay for the same products in the store. 
 
After you get your box, you can share your feedback with Glossybox through product reviews and surveys, to start collecting GLOSSYDOTS to earn free GLOSSYBOXs.  You can also buy the products you just tried.

When you join, which I just did, they ask you to fill out a beauty profile.  Questions cover everything from skin to hair and include questions like "How would you describe your everyday look?" and "What is your nail polish preferences?"  The profile takes about 5 to 10 minutes to fill out.  You can change/edit your profile if your needs change.  

I filled out my beauty profile on Monday and had my box on Thursday! The actual box itself is so cute-pink box with pink tissue paper.  This box would make a great gift just because of the packaging.


In the Box

D-Fine Lip Pencil by Beauty for Real. $14 at Beauty for Real.  My makeup routine consists of BB cream and mascara so, at first, seeing this lip pencil, scared me.  According to Beauty for Real, this is a universal shade that looks good on everybody and every skin tone.  I was skeptical, but the shade is spot-on.  It really is universal.  I've even been wearing it with lip gloss. 

Mineral Eyeshadow- You're Toast by Marsk. $12.49 at Amazon.  I just mentioned that my makeup is pretty minimal, but when I do wear eyeshadows I prefer brown or neutral ones. This eyeshadow is perfect-a hint of shimmer with a Golden sand-swept tone.  You can wear it anytime.  I've been wearing it to work as I think it just might be the perfect daytime shade.  Love it!

Blackberry Primrose – Deep Hydration Mask by Florapy. $8 at  Florapy. I haven't tried any Korean skincare products yet, so I was super excited about this one.  However, this facial mask wasn't for me. The actual mask was awkward-I adjusted it but it still was ill-fitting on my face.  I also didn't really notice a difference in my face after using it.  I would try this company again though as it might have been a fluke due to it being my first time.

Revitalizing Supreme Global Anti-Aging Crème by Estee Lauder$12.99 at Amazon. According to Estee Lauder's website, this high-performance, multi-action moisturizer dramatically reduces the look of multiple signs of aging: lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness, dullness and dehydration.  It is very moisturizing and your skin can feel the difference.  I also loved the fragrance to this moisturizer.  This product is $50 for a full-size container so trying this before buying is a smart move.

La Source ® Ultra-Moisturising Hand Therapy by Crabtree & Evelyn. $8 at Amazon.  It's winter time here in the Northeast and my hands are starting to show it. This hand cream is infused with shea butter, macadamia nut oil and seaweed and algae extracts, so skin is noticeably smoother after each application. I've been using it and love it.  

Box Value: $55.48 By my calculations, this box was worth around $55. 

I was very happy with this box and look forward to my next Glossybox.


If you sign up for Glossybox, I will receive Glossydots to use to my next box.  Affiliate links were also used for Amazon. Thanks!
