March Glymm Box

 It's here!!! 
 I was crossing my fingers that I wouldn't be as disappointed as last month, I really want to love Glymm!

 First glance....wasn't sure what I thought! 

 1.Anatasia Beverly Hills/Hydrafull Gloss - Get your lips softer and fuller! Drench them with multi-dimensional pigments that release high shine and color. It stays put without the sticky residue. This rich and fortifying formula nourishes your lips with the added benefits of Jojoba Oil, Shea Butter and Anastasia's exclusive Balkan Botanical Infusion. Pucker up beauties!
Full size 2.2ml $27.00
At first I wasn't impressed because this gloss is sooo tiny!! You really don't need a lot though, and the colour is beautiful on! It's not sticky and you can tell it really moisturizes your lips!


without flash

2.Masam/Magic Fini - This siky formula blends beautifully into your skin to conceal uneven skin tone for a light,matte, natural looking finish. It smoothes away the appearance of wrinkles, enlarged pores and imperfections to reveal a sun kissed, healthy looking skin tone. It's magical.
Full size 30ml / $38.00

Up until just now I thought this product was white...which made me super confused as it's suppose to "conceal". I guess opening the containers help.....aduh. It's pretty dark and has a mousse texture. The smell isn't bad, isn't lovely either. It smells like your typical foundation/concealer. I'll let you guys know how it goes on once I try it!

UPDATE: I am officially obsessed with this BB cream, so much that I went on the hunt to see if I could find it cheaper then $38...and guess what? I did! One of their distributers has it on sale for $19.99 + $5 shipping. Buy it here

3.Ocean/Nail Polish - A true trend-hopper, Ocean Nail Polish Spring 2012 collection boasts shades that are vibrant, pastel and intense. This luscious lacquer applies super smoothly and streak free, and is fast-drying without containing any toxins. It's sold in upscale salons around USA and Europe. Full size 15ml / $12.00 .I love receiving nail polishes in my subscription boxes, just like the majority of us!! This is a super cute colour... I just think you would have to apply it 2-3 times because it goes on clear the first coat. It does give a super nice shine though, I will definitely be using this this spring.
(side note: I tried it on one of my nails not even a minute ago and it's already completely dry!!!)

4.Nume/ Feather Hair Extenstions ...huh? lol. I didn't receive any hair extensions, and I'm a little sad because I would have preferred those over my BB's cream. Perhaps I'll e-mail them and see if they could send it to me in my next box.


 Buy any 2 Anastasia Beverly Hills products and get a free Hydrafull lip gloss + free shipping
 


Over all, I'm happy with my box. I love the gloss, I just wish it was larger. I'm really excited to try the concealer and nail polish! What did you guys get in your box this month?

If you're new to Glymm - it's a monthly subscription service that costs $10/mnth for deluxe size samples delivered to your door with free shipping. Check them out!

 Thanks for reading ladies xo

Subscription services - officially addicted.


I sometimes wish I never discovered these, but we all know if you’re in touch with the blogging world AT ALL, you read about them constantly. It’s just impossible.

These are one thing that I have little of what I like to call… will power. I’m currently signed up for:

ShoeDazzle
Luxe Box
Glymm
Topbox
aaaaand as of 10 minutes ago, Glossy Box. [fml]
ShoeDazzle is for shoes, jewelry, and handbags. Kim Kardashian and her stylist team pick up a few options in a show room based on your beauty profile.  It’s $40/mnth but you can skip the month if nothing excites you (rare). They also have this amazing “Steals” section, where everything is half off. You can find beautiful shoes and everything else for $20. It’s free shipping in the U.S and an extra $9 to ship to Canada. This kind of turned me off of signing up at first… but then I thought about it and paying a grand total $29 (if they’re on sale) or $49 full price, is not that bad.

As for these beauty boxes…each one sounds better than the last, so obvi I need to subscribe. I guess one good thing is I won’t be getting/paying for Topbox until May. Glymm box won’t be coming until February, and GlossyBox will be coming in March. Glossybox just started shipping to Canada in the last week and they are selling out like crazy. So if your'e interested, better act fast! I didn't do it soon enough and now I have to wait an extra month. :(

GlossyBox
GlossyBox is a little more expensive than the others ($15/mnth), BUT that includes shipping and taxes. It ends up being a couple dollars more than the others after everything. 

My plan is to see which two I like better in the next few months and cancel the other two. Whether or not that plan actually happens, we shall see.
