December Glossy Box

Hey Everyone!

  So when I opened up the shipping box and saw this amazing sliver box I was wowed by colour. I love it! I also really like it when GlossyBox sends something other then the regular pink box.

So we got lots of goodies on the December box and a lot of them I'm really excited about! Here's a picture of everything we got. We got some hair products, some face product and some makeup products.

This first one in all honesty is my favourite. Most of you know I love sliver nail polish, in fact I love all metallic nail polish and I don't own even one Revlon nail polish. So I'm excited to try this formula and let you guys know what I think!

Next we got these really pretty simple stud earrings. I love that we got something a little different and extra but more then that something I'll use. Having a baby means no dangling earrings for me. These are a really pretty teal blue shade and I know I'll be putting them to good use.

Now onto hair products and you guys know how I feel about hair products over loading beauty boxes but this was a dry shampoo and that is something I will use! We also got a small sample of shampoo and conditioner but the dry shampoo is what I'm excited to try.

Eyelashes?!?!? Glossybox how did you know? I love a good pair of false eyelashes and after playing with these guys for a couple of days I can tell you these are really nice. The band on them is s good size for applying them but also very bendable so they are easy to aptly. 

The next two products are both from Aveeno and with my sensitive skin Aveeno is a brand I reach for often. I got the Ultra-Calming Daily Moisturizer and the Tinted Moisturizer in fair to light. I haven't used either of these yet so I get to try some new stuff which is awesome. They both came as full sized so that is great!

Sorry! I forgot to add this in there! This is a really pretty pink lip gloss from Avon. I love this colour and it's really wearable for everyday!

November Glossy Box

Hey Everyone!

  So I got my November GlossyBox, which the made Christmas themed because we don't get it till December. I loved the paper on the inside, very christmasy, it was so cute! I love the normal classy paper that GlossyBox uses but it's nice to change it up once and a while.

As far as the products go we got a pretty good selection and all from different beauty categories which is nice. I like to try a mix of products and so I like when beauty boxes come with a good selection.

This first product we got is this Curel Hand Cream, which I was super excited for because we had gotten a foot cream a few months back from Curel that I loved. Sure enough I love the hand cream as much. It absorbs really quickly but it leaves my hands feeling very moisturized and my cuticles look amazing.  We got a full sized product which is always nice.

Next product was a shower gel by Vitabath which is Paraben and Sulfate FREE, LOVE that! THis product has a very strong scent and that's the only think I don't love about it. I also think the scent is more manly, it's not floral or sweet, it smells kind of like Swagger men's body wash!

We got a small sized sample of Clear Scalp Shampoo and Conditioner. I don't love these types of samples because my hair is just so picky but I think I'll pass these along to the B/F and he can try it out. And just to clarify these small samples will give you 2 to 3 uses if you have med hair length so not to bad at all.

This next product is one of my favourite out of the whole box. It's a Nicole by OPI Keeping Up With The Kardashian nail colour! My colour was Keeping Up With Santa and I LOVE it! You can never have too many red nail polishes and this one is beautiful. It's a true bright red with a red sheen finish, it's stunning to look at!

Then we got a full sized lip gloss by Maybelline NY, mine was a pretty light peach colour. I don;t like this style of gloss because I don't like applying my gloss from  a hard plastic end and I also found the gloss to be very scented and very sticky. So not a huge fan of it but do like the colour.

Lastly we got another Kryolon product made just for us Glossies! Last box we got a lipstick that was created just for us in the colour Glossy Pink and this time it was a blush. I love Kryolon products as they are a professional brand and make great quality products and then blush does not disappoint. It has great colour payoff but it's so smooth and easy to blend. I've been very it almost every day from the day I got it. Hit one out of the park with this one Glossy Box!

That's it for this box everyone. People have been asking me if I still think Glossy Box is worth it because they upped their prices. I have to say I really do! In Canada you can spend $13 on an average drug store product and in this box for $21 dollars we got a nail polish, blush and lip gloss and 2 other products as well you can;t beat that value!

April 2012 Topbox

Hey Everyone!

 My April Topbox got here (late but not because of Topbox, Canada Post messed up) and it as always has some amazing smaples and I wanted to sure it with you all! Inside my Topbox was:

1. Benefit the POREfessional
 I haven't used this product but hear amazing things from people who have. It is suppose to minimize the look of pores and fine lines and give you smoother then smooth skin (their claim). It's oil free and it says it works on all skin tones so I'm excitied to try this!

Full Size is worth $34 and we got $11.63 worth of product
Score: No Score cause I haven't used it yet!

2. Principessa Beauty Dry Shampoo for Darker Shades
  This is a Vancouver based company so thumbs up for that (for anyone who doesn't know I live in the greater Vancouver area). It comes in Light or Dark which is nice and different then most of these types of products. The BIG thing for me about this product was that it's TALC FREE! When I went to their website it showed that the size we got sells for $12.00 but when I did the math the samle size we got was only $6.00 worth of product so it's really double that!!

Full Size is worth $24 for 125g or $12 for 30g  (online price) and so we got a full (small not the large) sized product.
Score: 4/5

Why?
I love that it's based on your hair color and that it isn't white! I hate having to shake the white stuff out of my hair. I'm going to use this over the next few weeks and then do a full review on it!

3. MISA Nail Polish in Pretty in Pink
 This color is amazing! Topbox could not have picked a better shade of polish for me, it is the most beautiful pink with pink reflects in it. I am in LOVE!

Full Size is worth $8.99 and we got a full sized product.
Score: 4/5

Why?
The color is just perfect and it covers very nicley. I did two coats and the color looked very bright. Plus it came with a 20% off coupon.

4. Bella Pella Tropical Flowers Body Lotion
 I honestly liked this lotion a lot but I would change one thing about it. It went on very nice and rubbed into my skin evenly and absorabed quickley but the smell was far to strong. I have very sensetive skin and had no problems with it casuing any irration which is fantastic but again the smell lasts a long time and it's very strong!

Full size is worth $15.95 and we got $2.70 worth of product.
Score: 3.5/5

Why?
Even though there are many things I liked about this lotion I can't get over how long lasting and strong smelling it is.


Well that's everything!

Final Thoughts:
In total we got $35.32 in product for only $10.00. I still think Topbox is a great value and a great service for anyone wanting to try new products, build on their current ones or maybe try a new brand you might never have heard of. Two Topboxes down and still LOVING it!

Score for April 2012 Topbox: 4/5
