Subscription Box Reviews

June’s American Beauty GLOSSYBOX is a collaboration with fashion illustrator Dallas Shaw. It features some of Dallas’ ‘favorite new beauty products culled from beloved American brands, all manufactured in the United States.’

Lucky me, due to a shipping error I got TWO boxes. I figured they’d be identical, but they weren’t. I’m only going to do one post though.

 

 

 

 

 

c. Booth – Honey Almond Nourishing Dry Oil Mist ($8.00/4 oz)
Elegant, nourishing oils absorb quickly into skin to smooth and soften while providing hydration.  This dramatically lightweight dry oil for face and body imparts a light, lasting glow for instant radiance.  Infused with a gentle, sweet blend of honey and almond, it’s the ultimate aromatic indulgence for the skin and senses! I got this in both boxes. Smells amazing! So happy I got two!

Sample size: 2 oz
Sample value: $4.00

 

 

 

Oscar de la Renta – Essential Luxuries ($150.00/3.4 oz)
Inspired by the designer’s mastery of fashion, Oscar de la Renta introduces a tailored line of six unique scents imbued with his love of beauty and luxury.  Comprised of specially sourced ingredients of the most exceptional quality, each fragrance echoes the lose connections to Oscar’s vibrant life and loves, and perfectly speaks his language–find joy, be sparkling, feel gorgeous. Same set in 2nd box.

Sample size: unknown – maybe around 6 ml
Sample value: unknown – approximately $8.82

 

 

 

Philip B. – Styling Gel ($6.00/2 oz)
Philip B. products revitalize every type of hair while evoking a warming, cooling or refreshing sensation and delivering glossy, radiant hair.  The brand’s botanical products cater to a broad range of hair types – dry/damages, colored/chemically treated, thinning/volumizing, wavy/curly/frizzy, flat/very fine, flaky scalp, oily and normal.  You will receive one Philip B. product in the box.

Sample size: 2 oz
Sample value: $6.00

 

 

SpaRitual – Favorites Nail Polish ($12.00/15 ml)
SpaRitual offers a wide range of fun, sophisticated and modern shades to help you express the most colorful side of you.  The nail lacquers are crafted out of naturally formulated, vegan, certified-organic and fair-trade ingredients, resulting in superior texture and quality.  Colors will vary. I got “Days of Wine & Roses”

Sample size: 15 ml
Sample value: $12.00

 

 

 

Tarte – Complexion Enhancing Lipstick ($14.50/0.12 oz)
Get total lip therapy in a beautiful nude shade that uniquely you!  These creamy lipsticks have a glossy, tinted core that gives the appearance of fuller-looking, luscious lips.  Thanks to complexion-enhancing pigments and emollient waxes, lips have never appeared more youthful. I got Fair to Light

Sample size: 0.12 oz
Sample value: $14.50

 

 

 

 

 

The second box has the same perfume samples, and the c. Booth oil mist, but the Tart Lipstick is Medium to Tan and the polish shade is Adore.

Instead of styling gel I got Lavender Hair & Body Wash. SO HAPPY!
