(Belated) May GlossyBox
Glossybox celebrated their 1-year anniversary of being in the US this past May. The box for May was themed around "A Year of Beauty".
In my May Glossybox:
AMOREPACIFIC Color Control Cushion Compact
This Color Control Cushion Compact is a multitasking wonder. It contains powerful broad-spectrum SPF protection to combat free radicals, deep hydration for replenished skin, and complete coverage for smooth skin all in one. lightweight, portable compact.
etrebelle Collagen & Aloe Vera Hydro Mask
This restructuring and moisturizing collagen and aloe vera mask provides skin with an extreme moisture boost that improves elasticity and promotes hydration. Tip: use it before bedtime to reap optimum benefits.
European Wax Center The Exfoliate and Slow It Body Lotion
The Exfoliate refines and polishes your skin without harsh abrasives. Slow It Body Lotion nourishes and softens skin while deceasing hair density to allow for softer, thinner hair growth.
My Prime Multi-Purpose Mattifying Moisturizer
My Prime's lightweight moisturizer packs a double punch with intense hydration and superior anti-aging benefits while delivering a flawless, matte finish. It also doubles as a primer that keeps your makeup on all day long.
Nicka K New York Absolute! Perfume Stick
Absolute! Solid Perfumes embody the spirit and passion of New York, the city that never sleeps. Escape the everyday with evocative scents, both refined and seductive, and each with a different secret to discover. Parceled in beautiful, boutique-inspired packaging, these addictive perfumes are perfectly sized to slip into your purse and transform your world.
Sebastian Professional Volupt Spray
The Volupt Spray is a volume-building spray gel with the cushion particle technology that best combines full volume and sensual softness. Shake well to activate its two-phase formula and spray on damp hair. Blowdry for extra body or air-dry to enhance waves and curls.
All in all, I am not at all pleased with the May GlossyBox. The perfume smells quite gaggy, the moisturizer left my face looking cakey and slightly white-tinged, and the color control compact thingy is WAY too dark for my skin tone.
I know that with these beauty subscription boxes, not every box is going to knock my socks off. However, I feel more jipped with this than I do with Birchbox since Birchbox is only $10 and GlossyBox is $21.
I'm going to give Glossybox one more month, but I'm pretty sure I will be canceling. I'm just not as blown away by the products as I thought it would be and it really irritates me that I don't get my box until the month is almost over.
