Hello Everyone,
I am so sorry I’ve been away from my blog for so long. Spring and summer is a very busy time for me,
but I promise to be more dedicated to my blog from now on.
GLOSSYBOX finally launched in the USA and I received the May
GLOSSYBOX (USA). It is the largest of
the subscription services that I know of, serving 15 countries worldwide. I was impressed immediately after removing
the mailing box. It comes beautifully
packaged and I can reuse this box for many different things, including storage
or even as a gift box.
Beautiful pink box
I opened the pink box and found five large (some full) sized
samples and one makeup brush.

beauty jetsetter.
I was really excited about all the products that were in the
box and impressed with the sizes.
The first thing I tried was the Zoya polish. As you know, I love Zoya nail polish. The color is not my favorite and didn’t look
good on my skin tone, but that doesn’t take away from the quality, wear, and
durability of the polish. I did buy
other colors in the Beach and Surf Collection and I highly recommend Zoya
polish.

The Amore Pacific Moisture Bound Refreshing Hydra-Gel is not
really a gel, or what I think of as a gel product. It has a light, creamy consistency and is a
seafoam green color. It blends into the
skin nicely and makes the skin feel soft and smooth. I used it in the morning under my makeup
(before primer) and my skin got very oily early in the morning, so I started
using it at night. Some people think the
scent is too strong, but I didn’t mind the scent. It smells a bit like menthol. It’s nice, but I would not purchase it –
especially since it costs $100 for 1.7 oz.
It is from Korea.
The next thing I tried was the Phyto Phytojoba Intense
Hydrating Mask for Dry Hair. This is a
wonderful product and I love it. My hair
didn’t have any tangles as I was combing it out and after drying my hair was soft,
smooth and without any frizzy ends. The
scent is very nice. The directions say
to use a quarter size amount but since I have thick hair I used more. I will be buying this product when I have
used up the sample. Full size is 6.7oz
and costs $38.00.
I was thrilled with the Burberry Beauty Lip Mist Natural Lip
Sheer Lipstick. I thought the sample
size was a nice amount of product. It
was in the most gorgeous packaging with the Burberry print on the exterior
packing and imprinted on the lipstick itself.
It is adorable. I think it’s a
really nice lipstick, very smooth and creamy on the lips. I used it with a Estee Lauder lip pencil and
thought it looked beautiful. This is
another product I was purchase when the sample size is gone. It’s a bit expensive, but I will ask for it
as a birthday gift. Full size is $30 for
.12oz.

The Marvis Whitening toothpaste was…..toothpaste. Not much to get excited over but the mint
flavor was nice. I won’t buy this – a full
size is $7.50 for 1.230z. That’s a bit
expensive for toothpaste.
Finally, the GLOSSYBOX Blush Brush was nothing really
special. I don’t think it works well as
a blush brush but I guess it could be used to dust powder over your face. It isn’t very soft either.
All in all, I was very happy with the May GLOSSYBOX and can’t
wait for my June box. I have high
expectations for the June box so I hope I am not disappointed.
I did cancel my subscription to MyGlam. It just wasn’t worth it for me. The first two months were great, but I have
been disappointed ever since. I’m going
to look for something else to subscribe to in it’s place.
If you received a May GLOSSYBOX, let me know what you
thought.
Stay tuned, I have a lot of product reviews coming soon!!
Take care,
Kat
