July 2012 Glossybox US

Glossybox has just been introduced to the US- this is my 3rd box so far. It is a monthly service that brings you about 5 beauty samples (and some full size products) to try out every month. It is around $21.00/month. Compared to Birchbox ($10.00/month), it is definitely more money, but I have been MUCH happier with the products and sizes of samples with Glossybox and every box has been well over the $21.00 price tag.

Allessandro International Pedix Heel Rescue Balm

I have been using last month's shea terra organics on my feet, would use it on my hands, but the smell is white chocolate (hated it). So once I use that up I will switch over, I was happy about getting this product.

Ofra Universal Eyebrow Pencil

Claiming to be a universal color to all shades of hair, I have tried it once, and it was right for my hair, but I have very dark brown/black hair- and the color of pencil is quite dark. Not sure how this would work for blonde hair. 

Sebastian color ignite shampoo and conditioner

I love the size of the samples, and its great that it is supposed to help your color last longer and nourish hair. I  always save big samples of shampoo and conditioner for that imaginary vacation that I think I might go on in the future. My stockpile is getting fairly large, and I have still YET to go anywhere. 

Senna Double Dose lip lacquer

The colors shown on the website are really pretty and perfect for summer, however I got one pretty color and one more fallish brown color- not that thrilled about getting this product, but we will see. 

Caswell-Massey Almond and Aloe Hand and Body Emulsion

We got 2 packets of this, but I do hate getting packets of product, it's a pain to use/store. There wasn't as much product in this as I thought, nor does it go a very long way. I used an entire packet after the shower as a body cream. It was OK, but don't think I would be able to judge the product after 2 uses. So this was ehhh. 

All in all the box was OK, it wasn't my favorite so far, I will use the products but I wasn't loving any of the samples. Still pretty happy with my glossybox subscription, especially with the packaging, under my bathroom sink has never looked prettier! 

SPOILER ALERT!!! for August's box they announced a red Illamasqua nail polish... YES PLEASE!
