Glossybox is a monthly subscription that delivers beauty products - hair care, skin care, makeup, perfumes, tools, etc. to your door for $21 per month if you buy the monthly plan, but that price goes down if you buy a 3-, 6- or 12-month subscription.They really outdid themselves with this month's keepsake box. It is stunning. The theme is Secret Garden, and is illustrated by Antonio Soares of Porto, Portugal, an internationally acclaimed illustrator.
Glossybox carries some of the best brands in beauty. Each box contains five or more items from full-sized to deluxe samples. Following are the contents of my September 2016 box:
EB5 SKINCARE Daily Repair Eye Treatment (0.5oz FULL-SIZE, $20.00) - Say goodbye to dark circles and puffy eyes! eb5 Skincare Daily Repair Eye Treatment increases collagen and stimulates circulation with Stevioside, derived from the Stevia plant, in combination with peptides and vitamin E.TIP: When applying products to the delicate skin of the eye contour, always use the tip of your ring finger as it is the weakest of the five fingers on your hand.
MONUSPA Rosewood Reviving Mist (1.5oz, $6.75) - Revitalize your skin on-the-go with an invigorating combination of lemon, rosewood and sandalwood essential oils. This handbag must-have refreshes dull complexions and awakens the senses with just a few spritzes.TIP: Set or fix makeup as well as lightly perfume your body with this all-in-one.
LIERAC Gentle Cleanser Micellar Water (1.7oz, $6.00) - "Up and at 'em" carries a whole new meaning when you wake up with leftover makeup and unhappy skin. Enriched with mallow and linseed flower extracts, this micellar water quickly removes makeup without drying or causing irritation.
TIP: Apply liquid to a cotton pad and wipe face entirely, no face wash necessary!
MODEL-LAUNCH-ER Brow Duo Pencil in Taupe (FULL-SIZE, $12.00) - While we weren't all blessed with thick brows, the unique formulation allows you to define with the precision of a pencil but also the smoothness of a powder for natural arches.TIP: To create the perfect brow, use small, feathery strokes to fill in sparse areas. After that, utilize the brush to blend and smooth hairs.
KORRES MODERN CREEK APOTHECARY Volcanic Minerals Twist Eyeshadow in Gray Brown (0.05oz FULL-SIZE, $18.00) - Providing vibrant color and smudge-free wear without all of the harmful additives, KORRES Modern Greek Apothecary replaces synthetics with natural ingredients that are beneficial to the skin.
TIDBIT: Featuring volcanic minerals and rice wax, this pencil-style eyeshadow conditions the skin while adding shine.
I'm pretty dedicated to my Origins GinZing eye cream, along with a few other here and theres, so I'll be passing the eye cream along. I'm not much of a day-to-day makeup person but I do appreciate a product that may brighten my complexion throughout the day so I'm gonna try the reviving mist. It smells like a light floral. I dig it. The makeup remover has a scent that I enjoy but cannot place. I probably won't use it though so I'll give it away. I definitely don't care about the brow set. People are all about thick eyebrows since Cara Delevingne came out of the woodwork, but I'll stick with my waxed, shaped eyebrows. Maybe I'm just an old lady that way. I would've sworn the eyeshadow pencil was a light purple, and despite the description, I'm not totally sure it isn't. I guess I'll find out when I apply it.
This September 2016 box has an approximate value of $62.75. That's certainly an improvement over the two previous boxes, but still a bit low. Who can complain about a box with at minimum twice the value, and often three times the value, of the cost of the box? Apparently me sometimes. I guess I'm getting spoiled. I am extremely tickled with the illustrated box. I've had other keepsake Glossyboxes, all beautiful, but nothing comparing to this one.
I'm excited to see what my October box will bring!
