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.

As you can see I actually got my December box in December and right before Christmas too. I should let you know now that I purchased this monthly subscription with my own money.

I was surprised to get my box today in the mail. I didn’t think Canada Post was working on Sundays so imagine my surprise when he rang the bell this morning.

I love the packaging of the Christmas box don’t you?

Not only is the box Christmasy but so is the tissue paper and the card. It all matches.

I am going to start off by saying that I love the overall presentation of this months box from the outside all the way to the inside. Don’t you?

I also have to note that once I opened the box it smelt really good. Not quite sure what it is but it smells really good.

Toni & Guy is a brand I have heard of before and I have gotten a few things from this brand before. This is a leave in conditioner (I think this could be what is making the box smell so good). I love trying out hair treatments. This is suppose to protect and prime the hair.

SRV= $16.99 for 3.3 fl oz and this is a full size item.

A brand I have been wanting to try is NUXE and now I can I was sent a Masque Creme Fraiche de Beaute. Its a 24 hour soothing and rehydrating fresh mask. Its perfect for this time of the year. It will keep my face moisturized.

SRV=$32 for 1.7oz and this is a full size item too. Wow

Another new to me brand is Rituals Cosmetics but looking at it now I feel as though I have seen this name before but I could be wrong. I got the Miracle Scrub in Ginseng & Ginkgo Biloba. Try and say that 10x fast. Another item that is good this time of the year. I will have the softest hands this winter. I am excited to use this.

SRV= $17 for 2.5 fl oz and this too is a full size item.

Bellapierre Cosmetics is  brand I am very familiar with as I have gotten several make up items from this brand. I like the packaging on the lipstick. Its a pretty color and its in the shade Burlesque. Its a mineral lipstick. I am going to be trying this out during the holiday season. I have to admit I am not into dark shades but I really like this one.

SRV=$19.99 for 0.12oz and this is a full size item

This is a mini paint pot in All Aglow by Ciate. I have never tried this before so I will be excited to try this out for Christmas. Looking at it you think its a gold glitter polish but when you look closely you see some tiny flecks of red. It is so pretty and once I do my nails I will post a picture. I will have to try it bare and over a polish to see what it will look like.

SRV= $10 for 0.17oz adn this is a full size item.

The SRV of this months box is $95.98 and I am impressed product/ brand wise and value wise. This is why I love Glossybox. You always get the value back in the box and I am super excited to try everything out this month.

Since I got two boxes in one month I didn’t get a chance to completely try out my last box so starting in January, I will be doing a what I thought of Glossybox post. Not sure if I will include that in my unboxing or a separate post. What do you think?
