Yes I know...we are mid-June and I am only reviewing my May Glossybox now. I still have my Beauty Army Kit review, so as you can tell, I am falling a tad behind. Better late than never I always say! Anywho...I got my very first Glossybox and OH MY GOODNESS I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!! I believe I was part of the first edition boxes in the US, but I have been reading reviews from bloggers in the UK who have the Glossybox and I always see such positive feedback. I was thrilled to see it came to the states and had to get my hands on it. I was a bit shocked by the price. I have had the Birchbox at $10 a month, and the Beauty Army Kit at $12 a month, so I was stunned to see a $21 per month box. I wanted to give it a try anyway and see if it was worth it, and it honestly was! The products that they sent were well worth the $21, as the one product I received was a sample of a full sized product worth $100. Furthermore, this was a Glossybox - Beauty Around the World, which means that all the products featured are from different countries; from Italy and South Korea to France and the USA. I am not sure if this applies to every Glossybox, but I was so excited to try different products that I may not be able to get in the US on a normal day!
Below is a video about what I thought about my first Glossybox. I did mention that I was impressed already, but here is a play by play review of each product I received.
ENJOY!!!
Again, here are the products I received, just in case you missed it!

So there you have it!!! I fell into the Glossybox hype and was nothing but pleased! Not sure if I will do a full video next month. I have a feeling I may get bored doing videos about it...we'll see. I will definitely do a blog about it though, since I insist on sharing it with the world :)
Have you tried the Glossybox? If so, what do you think?
If no, do you want to try it?
Do you get any beauty boxes?





Wow, those products look amazing, I've never tried a monthly subscription box, mainly because there are so many and I can't choose! x
ReplyDeletei know!! its definitely difficult to choose AND keep track :)
DeleteYay, nicely done!! I can't wait for the June box!!! I was super excited about the Burberry lip mist! Soooo very very cool!! :)
ReplyDeleteOMG i freaked when I saw it! That alone made it all seem worth it! i have never tried a burberry beauty product so i was thrilled!
DeleteNice samples! That lipstick looks gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteit really is, and the best part, i think its a color that would look great on all skin tones.
DeleteThe Glossybox sounds very cool - Products from around the world? Wow :) I haven't gotten any beauty boxes, but I've seen a lot of people talking about them, so my interest is gaining . . .
ReplyDeleteBtw, I found you on BlogLoveTherapy.

hi corrine! the beauty boxes are fun! you should try one out. start off with the birchbox if you want to go a bit low key, but if you really want to work you way up, glossybox is the way to go!
Deletenice, great products :)

why thank you very much for stopping by xoxo
DeleteI've been hearing such great things about Glossy Box! Now I'm even more tempted!!
ReplyDeleteTina
DO IT!!! haha
DeleteI really want to try it, but the price turns me off because I'm already subscribed to Glam Bag and Birchbox. That's a lot of money if I add another one in there!
ReplyDeletei know!! you want them all right!?!?!?!? its so hard to have one and not others LOL
Deletewow thanks for the review.
ReplyDeleteI have just ordered my first glossybox today and should receive it next week. Im in the UK though, so will be interesting to see how it will differ from US version..
I will foolow you and I look forward for your future glossybox review.
I will update mine as soon as I receive my box jennimystyle.blogspot.com

DeleteThe Burberry lipstick has such adorable packaging!!! :)
ReplyDeletei'm really tempted to sign up for a subscription... it looks like it may be more than worth it for us beauty addicts!
