My June Glymm box bag has arrived! Once again, it came in a makeup bag, much like MyGlam. This time it was in a nicer blue color (:
And here's a better description of what's inside. This time I tried to try out as many products as I could before posting about it because I feel lame writing about things that I havent tried out yet.
LA FRESH | Eco-Beauty® Acetone-Free Nail Polish Remover
I got to try this out and I think it's a neat idea. Not only do the pads remove your nail polish, it conditions your nails and cuticles, plus it has a really nice smell. The wipes claim to be able to remove polish off of all your nails, which I was a little skeptical about, especially since the size of the wipes are pretty tiny! But I was definitely proven wrong. As soon as I got to the last 2-3 fingers, i kind of got impatient to use the wipe since it gets a bit oily and slippery, so I just opened the second one. I think I may actually want to purchase more. I also like that they're biodegradable, cruelty free and made with natural ingredients. Full size of 18 pads retails for $9.99
CLARK'S BOTANICALS | Intense Radiance Mask
I havent gotten to try this out yet since it says it's for nightly use, but this product claims to deliver an instantly brighter-looking complexion that's visibly smoother and more luminous. It’s even suitable for problematic, combination and aging skin. I'm not huge on masks, but I'm interested to try it out. (one of these days i need to make a post with all the products that i have tried and havent wrote about) Full size of 50mL is $72
SALVADOR DALI | ItIsDream
DO NOT LIKE. I hate floral perfumes. It reminds me a lot of that nasty, popular Burberry perfume that makes my nose hurt. Full size of 60mL retails for $54
VITAMIN & SEA | Perfect Skin Solution
Havent tried this yet, but it appears to be a serum for your face that is enriched with vitamin e and other good things. Reminds me of Bio-Oil in a sense. Full size of 45mL for $68
BELVADA | Harmony Duo Lipstick in Intense Red
Definitely not my color at all, but I really like the idea of the packaging and just the overall concept. I would definitely use the balm more than the actual lipstick, but we'll see. This is a full size product and it retails for $20
So overall I was a little disappointed with the box/bag. Then again, there's still some things to try out. If you're interested in purchasing a Glymm subscription, you may do so by clicking here for $12 a month. Canadian residents only though.
Please let me know how you like the masque! I received the Smoothing Marine Cream (did you notice that it retails for $115?!?!). I was pretty happy with the products but then again I'm very, very into skincare. :)
ReplyDeleteOkay, so I just tried it out and it's pretty good! It didn't dry out my skin at all and it feels really smooth :3
DeleteI've just been getting a lot of bad smelling perfumes and terribly suited lip colors, which makes me disappointed. I do like skincare items though :3
Just commenting to say I really like your new lay-out! ;)
ReplyDeleteHow many of these boxes are you subscribed to now? Haha!
Thanks! I'm actually still in the process of changing it, so it'll look different soon :x
DeleteI'm subscribed to 3 of them now :')
So, which box do you prefer? I just started recently with Glossy and getting my first Glymm... Top box isn't for a couple months because of the wait list! What's your opinion?
DeleteSo far I've only had 1 Glossy Box, and I liked that I got more full-size samples of brands I am familiar with. But at the same time, Glymm lets me know of indie brands I've never heard of.
DeleteIn the end, I'd probably have to go with Glossy Box for now.
I've been waiting for Topbox, for what seems like forever :(
The lipstick looks promising. I can't wait to see which colour I get.
ReplyDeleteI know! It's a really neat idea and if you don't like the color you got, at least you have the balm ;)
DeleteI enjoyed seeing what you received in your box. I received mostly the same, aside from a different lipstick color, and a smoothing cream instead of a masque from Clark's Botanicals.

that's great! would have liked to have gotten the smoothing cream instead. I prefer it over masks :P
DeleteStill waiting for my first box. I seem to be addicted to these I have signed up for 5. I saw that you wrote you are a nail polish addict, not sure if you are interested or not but check out Julep Maven they have great colours and other fun stuff and you can get your first box for a penny, not sure if its a limited time offer or not. They are a bit pricey though but doesn't hurt to look!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I have definitely heard of Julep Maven, but it hasn't really sparked my interest. I like collecting different brands and I'd probably get tired of having so many Julep Mavens @_@ Also I've heard lately that their formulas tend to break up, so it's not sounding all that impressive to me :')
