This month I have TWO GlossyBoxes to review! This beauty box subscription service doesn’t put a limit on how many boxes you can purchase and I think that’s fabulous. Even though I only have one subscription, they offered a code for a discounted box this month so I bought a second one because I am so happy with the previous boxes I’ve received. Oh boy, I can tell you this month was NO exception, and I am really glad I sprang for a few extra bucks and got the second box!
So here is what I got in the boxes! They were wrapped in lovely tissue paper with a bow as the box normally is. Candy Canes, Gingerbread Figures, and other holiday designs adorned it and tied with a red ribbon. Four full size products, two sample size, and a lovely piece of jewelry were included. Both boxes contained a necklace but I’ve talked to others that have received other jewelry like stack rings.
The first full size item is an after-bath and shower moisturizer in a blend of essential and all-natural oils – Madurai Jasmine & Mogra by Forest Essentials Luxurious Ayurveda. As you know, I live in South Florida, and the scent of Jasmine wafts in our air several times a year. I absolutely love that fragrance. This blend is reminiscent of it and it’s fabulous. I use a lot of lotion and moisturizer on my face and body already, so this will be put to good use, and since I got TWO of them in my multiple boxes – ooooooo yeah!
I got a “full size” (5.5 oz, enough for one use) Heartland Fragrance Co. bath salts. White Ginger in one box, White Tea in the other. These are made with 100% natural epsom salts with fragrance added (so even though they advertise they are a healing aromatherapy salt, I would have preferred to see them use natural or essential oils as well, instead of fragrance).
Pleats Please is a sample size Eau de Toilette by Issey Miyake. This is a USA Online Exclusive Launch. Yay! It really smells wonderful and I like that it’s in a little spray bottle. The other sample size is Wella Velvet Amplifier. Known for their hair care products, I’m excited to try this. It is a concentrated serum which is supposed to improve manageability and control for responsive styling.
The other full size is a Lipstick Luxe in m.powerment petal by mark. It’s a limited edition creamy rose lipstick that is luminous and hydrating according to their information. Although it was “developed to raise awareness for a powerful women’s cause”, I’m gonna have to look online to find which one, and it’s not really my color.
OK now we’re down to the last two items in the boxes! The ZOYA nail polish, and the jewelry! I got two different Zoya’s, and two different necklaces! That’s exciting because I’ve ordered duplicate boxes from other companies previously and they were identical. Uhhhh boring! When a buyer purchases more than one don’t you think they want a variety since they know you are sending more than one mix?!
So I got Storm in one box and Electra in the other. I haven’t purchased any Zoya in awhile and I didn’t have either of these. OMG can I just say I am thrilled with BOTH of them?! The necklaces are by Jewelmint and “inspired by the runway, vintage jewelry and on-trend celebrity style”. I am very happy with the two pieces I got. One is a silver and goldtone double chain with beads and decorative “plates”. The other is actually a necklace with a pinback that can be worn two different ways. The heart is adorned with red stones with two hummingbirds atop it. I really like both of the pieces a lot! Ok but STOP right there. The above link to Jewelmint will take you to their FAQ page. Yes, they are a monthly membership service that you will have to reply to if you want to skip your monthly item. I am NOT a member and that is NOT a referral link!
OK now you see why I was so pleased with both of my boxes this month. If you’d like to get in on the action, just click on my referral link in the sidebar or here to GlossyBox if you’d like. They have One Month or more subscriptions, and of course the longer you subscribe for, the more the price is reduced. I hope you will like the service as much as I do if you do decide to purchase it.
