GlossyBox May 2013 Review

I'm late, I'm late for a very important box review! My apologies, dear readers, but I've had a busy week!

This was my first GlossyBox and I absolutely loved it! May was also GlossyBox's 1 year anniversary in the USA!

Here we GO!

First look:

2nd 1st look:

I apologize but it seems I forgot to take a pic of the real first look! Bummer..

Onto the products!

Volupt Spray by Sebastian Professional ($6.70 Value)

 

I use this frequently. It has a nice smell and isn't too sticky. (full size, $19.99)

Collagen & Aloe Vera Hydro Mask by Être Belle ($3.95 Value)

  I used this last night and actually liked it. I've never used a face mask before so I'm not an expert on the subject but I liked the way my skin felt afterwords. (full size, 10 masks, 29,95 EUR?)

Intense Defense Anti-Aging + Repair Serum by Epionce ($18.13 Value)

A tiny sample of an EXPENSIVE product. It smells nice but there's not way I'd be able to buy it every time I needed it. (full size, $136)

Slow IT Body Lotion and Slow IT Body Wash Samples and Free Wax by European Wax Center ($21.00 Average Value)

I haven't had a chance to use any of these. Soon..(full size, $20)

Absolute! Perfume Stick in 5 NOBLEGE by Nicka K New York ($14.99 Value)

 

Easily my favorite product in the box. This stuff smelt soooo good. I use it daily and definitely plan on re-purchasing!(full size, $14.99)

Guideliner Long Lasting Eye Pencil in Xpresso by Xtreme Lashes ($29.00 Value)

Another love. Seriously smudge free! I was so glad to find the send the brown color. I'm not a fan of black eyeliner so this was perfecto! (full size, $29)

GlideLiner™ Sharpener by Xtreme Lashes ($3 value)

This is for use with the gel eyeliner pencil. It's so special it need it's own sharpener, lol. (price, $3)

The total value of May's GlossyBox came to about $90 which is fab! I'm definitely a fan now. Want GlossyBox? Subscribe here!

May 2013 Birchbox Review

This month's theme was "beauty diaries". 

 After reading so many negative reviews about May's Birchbox, I really unsure about subscribing to it, but decided to anyways. Lemme say I wasn't disappointed, that's for sure!

First look:

Unboxing:

Let me just say I love the box itself and will definitely re-use it. 

2nd first look:

Real first look:

Awesome right? So many goodies!

Protect and Detangle by Beauty Protecter (value, $2.75)

Now, my hair doesn't normal tangle but my daughter's sure does! She's curly headed.. I can't wait to use this on her. Hopefully it will make combing her hair more pleasant for both of us. (Full-size, $21.95)

PROTÉGÉR Age Defying Primer by LAFACE Laboratories (value, $3.25)

I love clear primers, so I'm pretty happy this was in my box! (Full-Size, $65)

Glossy Kiss Lipstick by Mirenesse (value, $26.55)

This is a full-sized product. It goes on smooth and the color is nice. I'll probably use it quite often.

(Full-sized, $26.55)

Folle de Joie eau de parfum by Joie (value $1)

I'm going to be honest, I hated the smell of this. It was super floral with rose being the strong note. I'm not a fan of floral smells at all and ended up giving this sample to my mom. (Full-size, $98)

Lifestyle Extra

Matchbox Itty Bitty Nail Files by Tweezerman | (value $4)

This is also a full-sized product. I don't normally have nail "mishaps" but I'll still carry these around, just in case. (Full-sized, $4)

The total value of my box was about $40, so well worth the $10 it cost me to subscribe. I can't wait for next month's box.
