August 2012 Birchbox, MyGlam, and Glossybox!

so let's start off with what I got in this month's.....


Birchbox

yes, I got a razor in this month's Birchbox. Everything else are sample sized products.

Next is........

My Glam

Lastly is......
Glossybox

in Glossybox, the only full sized items I received were the nailpolish ( in lime green color) and the Lip cream (in nude color)

July 2012 Glossybox

 The items I received in my July Glossybox are circled in red.
Starting from the left, I got:

OFRA COSMETICS

UNIVERSAL EYEBROW PENCIL

Water resistant pencil suitable for the most sensitive eye area. It is the perfect solution for your eyebrows and is called Universal Eyebrow Pencil for a reason, as it is one color to suit all skin tones. It is very soft and will make it easy for you to create a perfect shape. Created with a Beeswax base for a smooth, soft and long lasting application.

SENNA COSMETICS

DOUBLE DOSE LIP LACQUER

The super shiny, sparkle infused and vanilla flavored gloss formula contains light reflecting pigments that make your lips seem fuller and hydrated. The lip gloss contains Vitamins and Jojoba Oil for extra conditioning. The gorgeous color combinations work alone or layered together for ultimate shine and long-wear.

SEBASTIAN PROFESSIONAL

COLOR IGNITE MULTI TONE CONDITIONER

Color protection conditioner for multi-tonal and lightened hair.

Micro-bubble conditioner whips, wraps and wows the shine. The result: long-lasting color shine and vibrancy.

SEBASTIAN PROFESSIONAL

COLOR IGNITE MULTI TONE SHAMPOO

Color Protection Shampoo for multi-tonal and lightened hair.

Smart color moisture complex targets the color-treated strands, to deeply moisturize and restructure fibers wherever needed most.

ALESSANDRO INTERNATIONAL

PEDIX HEEL RESCUE BALM

Exclusively for GLOSSYBOX in the US! With regular use this luxurious cream, enriched with MarinaVital complex, helps prevent the build-up of hard skin with long lasting results. The soothing and effective combination of shea butter, allantoin and tea tree oil provides intensive protection and nourishes skin, leaving it soft and supple.

Honestly, I'm still not satisfied with July's Glossybox, or any of the Glossyboxes I've received. I mean, for the price of $23, it didn't amaze me. If I received this as a $10 monthly subscription, then yeah, I'd really love it. But I'm still not feeling Glossybox. If you look at other countries' Glossybox, people get amazing products, but not the U.S. I feel like opting out. It's just not worth it. But I think I might just ride it out for another month.

June 2012 Birchbox

I'm super late in posting this month's birchbox, but here it is:

June's 2012 Birchbox contains:

-a sample men's perfume of John Varvatos Star U.S.A. (why did I receive men's fragrance?, I think it's because of father's day) 

-a pack of 20, BAND-AID® Brand Adhesive Bandages by Cynthia Rowley Bundle

-travel size Melvita Floral Water refreshing spray in the scent, rose

-a full size Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner in the shade, olive

-theBalm® cosmetics Stainiac, lip and cheek stain

-mini sample of Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream

the actual sizes I received are as pictured above.

Overall, not bad. I really enjoyed this month's Birchbox. It's all something I would actually use. Even the men's fragrance smells really nice. Who doesn't need bandages from time to time. It's great to keep some in your purse for those accidental boo-boos. The facial spray was amazing. I'm always trying to find natural skincare items that don't irritate me because I have ultra sensitive skin. The eyeko eyeliner was a great addition to my birchbox. The olive green color really compliments my brown eyes. The lip and cheek stain is great for the summer. No need to reapply and no makeup meltdowns. Although the Yu-Be skin cream has an Asian herbal medicinal smell to it, I do not mind, I'm used to the smell. The cream is quite moisturizing and silky.
