Glossybox October

October's box is a collaboration w/ Byrdie - an online magazine for all things beauty. I usually love their collaboration boxes so I was super excited to see what goodies I would get.

2 full size items this month!

Tarte - Lights, Camera, Flashes Mascara - This is one of the full size items. I love the packaging & I'm looking forward to trying it. Retails $23

Fresh - Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream. Deluxe sample .50oz  It's described as a lightweight, daily moisturizer age-defying moisturizer for all skin types. It's supposed to moisturize skin for 24 hours after application. It sounds like a perfect winter moisturizer - I'm excited to try it. Full size (1.7oz) retails $42

Bvlgari - Au the Vert. Deluxe sample .17oz  I'm not a fan of fragrance so I wasn't thrilled to get this. It is a cute little bottle though. Mine is on ebay :)  Full size (2.5oz) retails $85

Sesha Skin Therapy Rejuvenating Anti-Wrinkle Mask. One Time Use Packet - retails $9. It claims to smooth fine lines & wrinkles w/ peptides & botanical extracts. Calms the skin from environment stresses & rejuvenates it back to a youthful glow. I love masks - I'm going to try mine tonight. Some people got exfoliating gel instead of the mask. There is a 40% off coupon for Sesha products included. 

Balance Me Shine On Tinted Lip Salve in Super Soft Beige. This is the other full size product - retails $16.50. It claims to smooths, hydrates & adds gloss to lips. Everyone got the same color. $16.50 really? I would never pay that. It's gotten good reviews but I'm just not feeling the color. I'm still going to try it.

Glossybox - July

This months theme is all about blue.

Brazilian Blowout - Acai Deep Conditioning Masque 

Bvlgari - Shampooo & Shower Gel

Dr Brandt - BB Matte 

Figs & Rouge - Cherry Blossom Tinted Lip Balm

Nails Inc - Baker Street Nail Polish 

Nicka K New York - Absolute! Makeup Cleansing Wipes

BB Matte! What a awesome product to try. Until I noticed that I got light to medium. Not going to work for me :(  I emailed but that's the only shade they have. Gb is going to send me something else.

I love hair products but I have heard only bad things about Brazilian Blowout. They are rumored to use high levels of cancer causing chemicals. While the masque may not contain cancer causing chemicals, I don't feel comfortable using it. I already traded it w/ a few other items for a Enchanted Polish! Score :)

OMG - Bvlgari again? They sent out the soap & bath tea already of this fragrance. I'm not a perfumy girl so meh. It could be worse I suppose.

The makeup cleansing tissues are a bonus to the box. I love makeup wipes - this will definitely be used.

I love little nail minis! They sent baker street - a gorgeous cobalt blue color.

I was so excited to try Figs & Rouge until I noticed it was cherry. I hate everything cherry - the smell makes me dry heave. The packaging is super cute and I love that it's petroleum free.

So much better than last month! What do you think of the July box?
