Glossy "yes its worth it!" Box July 2012

GLOSSYBOX JULY 2012

Oh the anticipation!
And the wait is over!
This was the one box I was very excited to see because (1) I tried to decide for months if I wanted to subscribe (2) its a bit more expensive than other beauty box subscriptions and (3) but I have consistently heard very good reviews regarding the size and quality of the samples.


I am very happy with this box!  First of all, when presentation is everything this box (and yes I mean the box) is far better than expected. Before I could get to the box I had to look at the glossy, product filled mini-magazine and drive myself a little nuts trying to guess which products from the magazine were in the box.


Then open the box and there's the pink postcard "Summer Simplicity", then pull the ribbon and open the tissue paper! YEAH! Wow, yes the samples are bigger and not a sample "packet" in sight!

There is a big difference between shaving with a cream vs soap.  For years I was a soap girl who didn't need all that frilly stuff. What a difference a great shave cream can make on your skin!  I have not tried this out yet, but I can place it on the counter so my hubby knows I won't be stealing borrowing his shave cream. I love that this is fragrance free and an antioxidant!

 This is the best smelling "velvet cream wash" on the planet! Its combination of hibiscus and fig (I don't know what figs smell like) is intoxicating! Also made for sensitive skin it will leave you soft and silky!  I think I could take a bath in this fragrance!

I know it was put in my Glossybox because my name begins with the letter A.  It was picked out just for me ~A.
I love the ginger/citrus scent; it reminds me of humid summers in the South...ahhh!

I haven't tried this yet...Dumb Plum purple eyeshadow isn't really on my list of things to try but since the rest of my Glossybox items have a great lavender, violet, auburn color to it...I may have to surprise the office on Friday and do something unexpected.

Like wear purple eyeshadow!

I am thrilled to see this sample! Not just one or two but three samples for your eyes!  A serum that revitalizes the eye area, an eye cream to wear everyday, and an intensive nighttime repair cream! At my age this is heaven.  It is also amazing the high lever of science that goes into the formulas to help me look fantastic!

My assistant was trying to help me get the perfect photo for this next item: Wella Professionals "moisturizing treatment" for fine hair and lost his patience. In the end he gave up and I tried to entice him back into my good graces but he couldn't take his eyes off of Wella.  He knows that after a day at the pool or beach your hair needs to be nourished!


Overall, very happy with Glossybox.  The samples are great, the presentation is great and I feel like I got my money's worth out of it! Cannot wait to see what is in store for next month!
