Christmas time was a very exciting news in the Canadian beauty box subscription world. Not only did Birchbox enter the Canadian market, but so did Glossybox! I always wanted to try Glossybox because it always seemed well curated, and full of full sized products. This box retails for $21 for Americans and $28 for Canadians. This box is a bit pricy, but so far the value is there for me!
This box comes with a nice card that outlines a bit about each item and their values. The card also includes "tips", but I find them to be pretty basic.
First view!
Tony&Guy Leave In Conditioner
Full Size $16.99
I was really excited to get this item in my box because while I have heard a lot about this brand I have never actually tried it. This is a pretty nice leave in conditioner . I like that it tames my frizz. I usually use a product like this after I shower to help tame my hair into a pony tail. I like this product, but it will be a while before I get around to using it regularly as I have a few similar products on the go.
Nuxe Masque Crème Fraîche De Beauté
Full Size $32
I think this was the best item I received in this box. It is super hydrating and calming, which is perfect for fighting winter skin concerns! I've used this a few times now, and am really happy with it.
Rituals Cosmetics Miracle Scrub in Ginseng & Ginkgo Biloba
Full Size $17
Booooo. I am very allergic to ginseng so I won't tempt fate by trying this out. I will be passing this onto my mom or to a friend! It looks like a lovely product though.
Tarte LipSurgence Power Pigment
Full Size - Free gift for joining
I will not include this product in the total value as it was an add on for signing up before a certian date. This is a pretty rose coloured lip crayon that has a good staying power. I was pretty pumped that it was a Tarte product, as I have been really digging that brand lately.
Ciaté Mini Paint Pot in All Aglow
Full Size $10
I've never purchased one of these nail polishes before because they are tiny, but it was a nice inclusion. This polish is a bronze glitter with pretty decent coverage. Also, how cute is that bottle?
Bellápierre Cosmetics Mineral Lipstick in Burlesque
Full Size $19.99
Not a huge fan of this brand. I have tried it before in other beauty boxes. However, this lipstick is a pretty, festive colour that will get some use in the winter.
Thoughts
Total Value $95.98 USD + Tarte product
I really enjoyed this box. I found it to be well curated. I like that all of the items were full size, and I think I will get use out of almost all of the items. Except for the ginseng scrub because I am crazy allergic to ginseng and it just isn't worth the risk. But I don't blame Glossybox-- it is a niche allergy, and they wouldn't have known! I am going to try emailing them and see what happens, but I don't expect anything. I can't wait for next month's box!
If you are interested in signing up for Glossybox I would love it if you would use my referral code!
