February 2014 Glossybox Review

I was extremely pleased to see that my Glossybox arrived a day earlier than expected! If you aren't familiar with Glossybox, it is a beauty subscription service that sends out deluxe & full size samples of makeup, skincare, and haircare. It is $21 per month and I always find that the value greatly outweighs the cost of the box. A lot of people have issues with their shipping, however. (I am receiving my February box on 2/27, almost the very end of the month) This doesn't bother me too much, because I get most of my boxes at the beginning and middle of the month, it's nice to always have something to look forward to every week! As long as I am receiving the box in the same month, I am happy.

I think out of all of the boxes I receive, Glossybox has the cutest packaging. Their pink boxes are currently being hoarded under my bed until I can find a nice project to use them for, or I find some gifts to use them for! :)

Now, onto this month's products!

Anatomicals Puffy the Eye Bag Slayer Wake Up Under Eye Patches

This is a full size product! It comes with 3 individually wrapped sets of eye patches, & it is valued at $11.00. These patches are designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles. They moisturize, nourish, and hydrate with each use. I am always looking for ways to improve the look of my under eye area, so these are very much appreciated!

Lauren B. Beauty Nail Couture in City of Angels

This is another full size product and is valued at $18.00!! That seems super expensive for a nail polish, so I'm not sure that I'll be purchasing any other colors from this company. I do love this shade of pink, it reminds me of the Glossybox box color. I will be using this tomorrow to do a manicure and I'm excited to see how it applies.

Pureology Serious Color Care 

This product retails for $24.00 for a 6.7 oz bottle, making this 1 oz bottle valued at around $3.58. I have been receiving an abundance of products lately for color treated hair, and since I just colored my hair last week, this will definitely be put to use! I love the smell of this and I'm excited to fully put it to use. It is a multi-tasking hair treatment spray that is sprayed on damp hair to prime, protect, and perfect color-treated hair.

Skin&Co Roma Truffle Therapy Serum Plus

The full size of this product (1 oz) retails for $75.00, making this 0.17 oz sample retail for $12.75. When I first saw this product, I was slightly disappointed. I picked it up and it felt weightless, and I thought I got an empty product in my box. Upon opening it, I realized that it's a very lightweight serum, and there is more than enough in this sample! It is designed to be applied to the face & neck before a moisturizer, and it keeps your face hydrated and also is supposed to help reduce fine lines and wrinkles. I love the smell of this, it has a coconut scent to it and is very tropical. I've applied this once so far and I can definitely tell a difference already in how my skin feels.

Sumita Beauty Kala Color Intense Pencil

This is another FULL SIZE product! It retails for $15.00. I believe that I can never have too many eyeliner pencils, so when I saw that this was in the box this month I was pretty excited. The formula goes on very smooth & creamy. The line I drew on my hand was with a very light hand and with just one swipe. I also believe that this is going to have excellent staying power, as it was very difficult to wash from my hand. I still have a faint line where I applied it, so I'm excited to test out how long it lasts on my eyes.

Overall, I paid $21 for the box and received $60.33 worth of products! That's almost 3x the price of what I paid, and I will use everything in this box. I find that out of all of the boxes I receive, I get the most use out of my Glossybox products. There really hasn't been a box that has disappointed me yet!
