Glymm box: March 2012

My last Glymm box and I'm not too sad it's all over... Why? well aside from the fact that nothing much interested me from this month's box, I received a duplicated item that I still have not used... Anyways, onto the pictures!
TBH, I am quite surprised at how quickly I got my March Glymm box~
This was the only thing that got me a bit excited, bluish turquoise feather hair extensions  :)
Coup d'Eclat Instant facial energizer, this reminds me of the Lise Watier Flash lift radiance vial 
Vasanti BrightenUp! ( I received my first one in my Jan Glymm box)
Ocean Nail Polish, this nail polish brand is sold USA and European salons... or you can buy it in bulk online
M. Asam Perfect Teint
So yep... Buh-bye Glymm!

Glymm box: February 2012

Interestingly enough, this month Glymm box arrived one day after my Luxe box~ :)

I got 4 products this month, 1 full size eyeshadow, 1 full size lip balm and 2 samples (1 of which I would say is not deluxe...)
My box was so light this month, I thought maybe they forgot to put things in there, once again, no candy 

It feels like I got my money's worth this month, since the two full-sized products add up to almost $16. Unfortunately, due to my recently acquired allergy to beeswax(maybe?!?!), I cannot use the Burt's Bee lip balm.
Very cute packing, just wish I could use it T^T
This is the second Sula product I received and I'm happy it's a shadow with a  pretty shade :)
I find myself curious about this mud mask, I've never tried them before, I just hope it won't irritate my skin!
Blot/bronzing paper? hmm... interesting, but really? in a packet like that and it's a deluxe sample? I guess it does cost $0.24 per sheet plus the plastic bag and the little intro card -__-
Overall it is an interesting box this month with more cosmetics than previous boxes :)

Recap, in my Feb Glymm box I received the following: 
  • full size Sula Natural shadow in Smokes and Mirror (0.15 oz)
  • full size Burt's Bees Tinted Lip balm in Hibiscus (4.25g)
  • deluxe sample of Glamglow Tingling and Exfoliating Mud Mask (0.24 oz)
  • a couple sheets of Mai Couture 2-1 Oil Blotting/Bronzing Papier
This month's box is another B because I do like the fact that they are including more makeup but most of the products were really 'meh.' Unfortunately, I have cancelled this box and next month's box will be my last...

How do you feel about your Glymm box this month?

Glymm box: January 2012

No candies this month =( does this mean no more treats, ever?! I guess it just made this box even more "meh"~~ I feel that when you get spoiled with something and it's taken away from you then it just ruins the goodness of it as a whole... Anyways, let's move onto the box~

January Glymm box 
Product/Price card~
2 x (7ml) Burt's Bee Milk & Honey Body Lotion (170g @ $12.99) I like to try this, but I really hate the tear away one time use packaging. I will probably transfer this product into a separate container~
 I thought that the Kaia Naturals cleansing cloths has really cute packaging(good marketing!!) It's also really nice to see the cruelty-free bunny on the top~ This is a facial cloths that boast to cleanse, tone and remove makeup~ At full price, 30 sheets goes for $17.99.
Vasanti Brighten Up! This is one of the products I am looking froward to trying~ :) It boasts to improve skin texture to reveal softer, brighter and younger looking skin~ We will see~ ^^
Anastasia Clear Brow Gel, I've used this before and I'm glad to see it in my Glymm box this month (now I will have one for on the go!)
Cargo Cosmetic Eye Pencil in Black (yay! another black eyeliner... except... so far they have all smudged on me... should I even bother trying?)
Final thought on this month's Glymm? B- it's not a bad box, but I'm just not crazy about anything in particular, although I do find the Kaia cleansing cloth intriguing~ I am a bit sad about the absence of jelly beans (cuz I really like the candy and the small bottle it came in...)

-------------

Update:
I tried the Cargo eye pencil and I loved the application, it was smooth and did not pull, unfortunately it smudges too easily on my water line~ will give it another go to see if I can keep it from turning me into a raccoon...

Glymm box: December 2011

So sorry to be late at posting this, but I was leaving for vacation the day I received this. I will be brief with my Glymm box this month, as I am sure most people have already posted theirs up and the products received are the same (or very similar)~
December Glymm box 2011
Sula Beauty Natural Lip Gloss in Mesmerizing
YSL Parisienne Eau de Parfum
I was very happy to see a mini perfume collectible in my Glymm box this month. I have been collecting them as a kid and since have over a hundred bottles ^_^
Ahava Mineral Hand Cream
Caudalie Hand and Nail Cream

It's a cute box this month, however I am not too impressed with getting 2 hand cream... I mean you can't exactly try out both at the same time to see results... but I guess you can always use extra this time of the year as it is ubber dry outside! This month's box is a B-. It's got some nice sized deluxe sample, but it is not as well rounded as the boxes from previous months. I'm still happy about the jelly beans ^_^

Race: Loose Button vs Glymm

Both of these boxes were shipped out today. Loose Button is coming from T-dot and Glymm is in Brossard... Would be so funny if Glymm arrives first ^_^

Looking forward to see my December boxes~~

NOTD: RGB Oxblood

I'm scared of using red nail polish because I was scared that it doesn't really complement my skintone... However, I was quite surprised that this deep red worked so well on me~
Here on my ring finger is Oxblood by RGB. With the flash the red comes off as a pretty cheery red, but it is in fact a red that is almost black in natural light. TBH, when I got this bottle in my November Glymm box I was a bit disappointed... why red?!?! But now I'm glad that I got this colour, otherwise I wouldn't have tried it and wouldn't have realized that I liked it so much. Thank you Glymm, for making me become more adventurous! :)

How about you? are there any colours that you are scared to wear?

Glymm box: November 2011

I have to start off saying that I had spoiled my surprise this month by looking at other blogs before arriving home to my own... oh well~~ here's my November Glymm box!

As expected, we get very pretty packaging...
product info sheet as well as the generic card for every subscriber...
lots of samples!

Glymm box: October 2011

I just received my Glymm box today and I would like to share some pictures I took with you!! Let's begin...

battered looking packaging with the corner slightly ruined... Let's hope the things inside are okay!
pretty pink box! the ribbon looks soooo 3D
