I love the packaging of the February box, don’t you?

As soon as the box came I was ripping into it. It smelled good and I was curious to see what the smell was and where it was coming from.

The first item I spotted when I opened up the packaging was this Rituals Cosmetics Foaming Shower Gel Sensations in Yogi Flow. I had no idea what to expect when I used it the first time but let me say a little goes a long way. It actually comes out like a shaving gel but lathers up really nicely. I used a lot more then I probably should have but lesson learned. It smells really nice too. Its a long lasting scent which is nice because there is not a lot of shower gels that do that. It has ancient Ayurvedic ingredients of almond oil and Indian rose.

This was a full size item at 6.7 fl oz for $15.00 and this isn’t to expensive if you had wanted to repurchase. Its available online in seven scents.

Another full size item is the Julep Color Treat in the shade Heart Leigh nail polish. There is metallic specks along with white sparkles and teeny tiny little hearts which is perfect to wear this month of February. Its limited edition. Its $14.00 for 027 fl oz. Which mean seem expensive for a nail polish but its really good because its a 5 free oxygen formula that is vegan and gluten free and its actually good for you to use because it allows your nail beds to breathe. I noticed a difference when I use this to regular nail polish.

This was something that pecked my interest when I saw it in the box. Its Unwash Bio-Cleansing Conditioner. This is suppose to replace your shampoo and conditioner. It cleanses without stripping your natural oils. moisture or color. I will be keeping this for when I go on vacation because I always have a problem with hotel showers and getting the shampoo and conditioner out of my hair completely so this will be something that I plan on using them.

The full size is $36.00 for 13.5 oz and I got a deluxe sample of 2.5 oz Thankfully there is a few places in NYC that I could pick this up if I really like it.

I think this was making the box smell so good. Its the Teadora Nourishing Beauty Bar in Rainforest at Dawn. Its a bar of soap that hydrates and firms your skin leaving it soft and glowing. Its suppose to smell like a Brazilian rainforest. If this is what its suppose to be like sign me up because I want to go. The scent was citrusy with some bergamot and lemon blended with woods, florals, basil and eucalyptus. I can’t wait to put this into the bathroom to use.

Its full size and it sells for $5 for 1.5oz.

Finally the last item in the box is Royal Apothic and its their Tinties Lip Butter in Pink. I love the vintage like packaging of the lip butter don’t you? The lid is a rose gold which I think adds to the packaging. It has the soothing ingredients of argan, grape seed, almond oil and shea butter. Its a tinted lip butter that isn’t too bright and when I put a little on it looked very natural. It leaves your lips soft and not sticky.

This is a full size item and it sells for $14.00 for 0.12 oz

So this month we got four full size items and one deluxe sized sample. This is month four and I have to say that I really enjoyed this months box. Its nice to see them staying on par each and every month. So as long as they keep it up I will continue to support GlossyBox.

I am always excited when Glossy Box comes each month. This is one of those boxes I try to avoid watching or reading any spoilers on.

The first item I am going to talk about is the Skin & Co Roma Sicilian Light Serum. Its suppose to correct imperfections while softening and tighening the skin. I haven’t tried using this yet just because we have been so busy with hockey and they way my skin reacts to items I didn’t want to have any kind of reaction so I will be trying this after hockey. I did try a little on my hand and it blend into the skin nicely leaving a nice smooth surface. There is a scent that is nice and not strong.

I was sent a sample size of 0.17 fl oz and the full size is 1 fl oz for $47.00

The next item is the Teeez Trendy Cosmetics Beautiful flat brush stiff. I was thrilled to have gotten this because I always need a eyeshadow brush and the packaging is so pretty. The brush is made with natural hair. The bristles are soft but a little firm with fitted round edges which is perfect for applying powder and cream shadows to both upper and lower eyelids.

This is a full size item and sells for $23.50

Another item I was excited to get was the Kueshi Revitalizing Face Toner. I have never heard of this brand before but I am excited to try it because it promises to rebalance skin with a blend of liquid moisturizers like aloe leaf and flower extracts. Its suppose to control shine in oily prone areas and soften dry spots. I haven’t tried this out yet either for the some reasons mentioned above.

This is a full size item and is 6.76 fl oz for $13.30

Vichy is a brand I am familiar with so it was nice to see that I got the purete Thermale 3-1 One step cleanser. I am excited to try this out because its an all in one formula (cleansing milk, toner and make up remover). I will probably save this and use it when we travel with hockey or on vacation this summer when I know time is limited for time to get ready. I love that you can just wipe it away with or without water.

I got a sample size of 1 flo oz and the full size is $19.50 for 6.7 fl oz. I love that this isn’t too expensive and that if you like it you won’t be breaking the bank to repurchase this.

Finally the last item is by Lollipops and they sent an Eye Pencil in Goodbye Moon. I have never heard of this brand before and its a retractable eyeliner pencil in black. Its long lasting. Its enriched with vitamin e. You can wear as is or smudge it for a smokey eye.

The pencil retails for $17.70 and it was a full size item.

This is my third box and I have to say so far I haven’t been disappointed in anything. This month we got three full size items, one sample size and I would say one deluxe sized sample. This box did pay for itself.

Glossy Box Is Coming to Canada

glossy-box

I am honestly going to admit that Glossy Box was one of my all time favorite beauty box subscription services that I use to get. Personally for me I loved getting that pink box each month. The box itself is very sturdy and I have reused all my boxes for something. Please note that I am not being paid to say this, this is my honest and sincere opinion.

I was never disappointed (okay I was when the Canadian section closed up shop) because it was brands I knew and loved. Plus we would get brands that I never tried or heard of before. Which is good and that’s the purpose of these boxes to expose you to new things.

Its been well over a year without Glossy Box here in Canada so image my surprise when they announced that they were coming to Canada and they are SHIPPING TO QUEBEC. I ain’t gonna lie I did break out my happy dance and a few (over the time) cheers. I am super excited for my first box to come and yes I did sign up for this subscription service.

Every month, they curate a selection of high-end, niche, and trendy beauty products in deluxe travel sizes to be included in your GLOSSYBOX.

Every month, they deliver five hand-picked beauty products straight to your doorstep. I believe 5 items is the min amount you will receive. I checked out past boxes and you do get quite a bit of items.

I should be getting my first box hopefully this month and as soon as I get it I will do a vlog and a blog post.

Is anyone else excited that Glossy Box is coming to Canada?
