Subscription Box Reviews

Are you ready for this month’s GlossyBox? Opening my GlossyBox is always a treat. It’s like opening a SPECIAL gift just for me. From the luxe pink box, to the perfect pink bow and confetti inside, I just love it!

October’s theme is Spa Luxe. “Let Go, Unwind, Restore” The card reads:

GlossyBox delivers a unique experience of indulgences this month, ensuring your moment of beautiful, pure relaxation.  Break away from the daily grind and immerse yourself in a luxurious array of treatments designed to refresh and rejuvenate your mind, body and spirit.  The combination of products, essential for a pampering Spa Luxe experience, are ideal for creating a sense of well-being and the ultimate beauty oasis. 

Alterna Bamboo ~ Luminous Shine Mist. An eco-certified shine mist made with Indian gooseberry (I always wanted to know what that smelt like.) and organic bamboo that controls frizz and flyaways.  It’s a brilliant and weightless gloss for any hair type.  I sprayed it and it’s too “woodsy” for me. I’m not sure if that’s the way to put it. I think it may have leaked as well. The entire box and it’s contents smell of bamboo. Full size $22/4oz

Heartland Fragrances ~ Exfoliating Loofa Soap. A unique hand-poured loofa soap encased in a gently glycerin provides the perfect blend of moisture and exfoliation. This soap is designed to improve circulation and is great for exfoliating. It looks pretty cool, but smells like bamboo. LOL I’ll probably still try it though. I’m curious to see if it really does exfoliate. I’m sure once I open it I’ll get the scent of peppermint as well. 😉  Full size $8/8oz

MODELCO ~ Lip Duo Lipstick & Ultra Shine Lip Gloss.  This looks like much fun! It’s an ultimate pairing in lip-color – a flawless (we’ll see) long-lasting lipstick & an intense beaming gloss. You can’t see it, but on the other side is a mirror. The Shade is “Dusk” and the lip-gloss is “Striptease”. Like most other lippy stuff I’ve received from GB it looks horrible in the tube, but quite nice on.  I’ll have to try this later when I’m home and can take a proper picture.  Full size $39/Lipstick .13 oz Lipgloss .07oz

Carol’s Daughter ~ Shea Souffle’ (big container) Nastassja Skin ~ Enzyme Facial Peel (little container) The Souffle’ is in “Ecstasy” a rich moisturizer containing SHEA butter, Cocoa butter and Jojoba oil. It’s not greasy (it truly is) and free of parabens, mineral oil and artificial color. Smells quite nice too. Sugared Strawberry, Island Mango and Egyptian Musk Full size $20/8oz

Enzyme Facial Peel is infused with vitamins and nutrients. It exfoliates with a papain, a naturally occurring enzyme in papaya, and gently eliminates dead, dry skin cells. I need to look through my loot, because if I’m not mistaken I got this same thing in another “subscription box”.  If so, just like the other I’m hesitant to try it. Facial peels HURT. Yes, I’m a wienie.

Along with my beautiful box and it’s lovely luxe contents came a coupon for 20% off any Physique 57 Barre Workout DVD and an issue of GlossyBox Mag. Roughly 20 pages of tips, product reviews, and behind-the-scenes info on this month’s box.  Once again I’m happy with my GlossyBox and can’t wait until next month!
