Glossybox USA - September 2012

Glossybox has definitely been on a roll lately and after that August box, I wondered if this month's box would be up to par.  I'm happy to report that it was!  


In the box

Goodies out of the box

My box is a little different than the boxes I've seen by one product - but you really can't beat 3 full-sized products! :)  All of the companies are new to me and I'm really looking forward to trying out the shampoo and conditioner! The value of this months box is about $70 so again EXCELLENT VALUE!

Here's what I got (from left to right):

Koh Gen Do Cleaning Spa Water - Made with Japenese hot spring water, this spa water is infused with six essential herbs to protect and nurture skin.  I'm faithful to Chanel's eye makeup remover as I have never found anything that works as well.  I'm definitely looking forward to trying this out and will report back with my thoughts.  This was a full-sized product worth $13 (although I do believe they also make a larger size) for 3.38 oz.  

GK Hair Balancing Shampoo & Conditioner - This hair taming system shampoo & conditioner has something called Juvexin which is the only protein compound scientifically proven to protect and restore hair back to its youthful state.  Works on all hair types and leaves hair protected, more manageable, soft, shiny, smooth and frizz-free for up to 5 months.  My curly hair will is definitely excited to use this!  The bottles are a nice deluxe sample size so I'll be able to get a few uses out and hope to see some results.  

Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF 42 - This BB cream (or Blemish Balm) is from a Korean manufacturer and provides light coverage that soothes, protects and moisturizes.  It's SPF 42 which is great.  My color is No. 13 (Bright Beige) which at first glance, looks a little too light for me.  I'll try to use a bit of it all over my face and see how it blends.  This was a full sized product valued at $29.99.  I like that it has a pump so hopefully I'll be able to control how much product is dispensed.  

Kryolan for Glossybox Moisture Rich Lipstick in Glossy pink - Treat your lips to a creamy, long lasting lipstick enriched with Vitamin E to stimulate and hydrate lips.  This is a neutral pink which is pretty but not really my color.  It has great pigmentation and color payoff and but I didn't like the way it looked on my lips.  

Overall, another great month for Glossybox.  It's fast becoming my favorite beauty subscription, although I hate waiting until the end of the month to get it.  Their shipping policy really needs help - I was billed in early September so I was pumped that I would get the box early.  Nope, it arrived on Friday the 28th.   I will review the products in depth when I've had a few weeks to use them.  

Glossybox is available for $21 a month.  All products were purchased by me and these are my initial honest opinions.
