September GlossyBox

 This will be my last ever Glossybox post as I finally cancelled my subscription. Ironically this was the best Glossybox I ever recieved.

Wella Professionals Mirror Polish Shine Spray - This is lightweight enough for my fine hair and smells OK so I'm pretty happy about this one. The glass bottle is nice, but heavy. Not great for traveling.

B. Kamins Lip Balm SPF 20 - This is a heavy duty balm, I think I'll save it for summer days at the beach. It has SPF in it which is great and I feel like it would keep my lips super moisturized in the sun.
B. Kamins Maple Body Lotion - This does not smell like maple at all! I was super excited when I read that this was male because I LOVE maple syrup (seriously though, I put it in my coffee. How Canadian can you get?) but this doesn't smell bad and it's non-greasy which is nice. I put this in my overnight kit so I haven't really tested it.

Dove Cleartone deodorant - This deodorant is supposed to reduce underarm discoloration caused by dry skin. Which sounds cool, but deodorant in my beauty box? I love my dove deodorant but yeah, a bit odd.

NYX Cosmetics: the Crimson Amulet Collection - Ok this I love! NYX is really hard to find here so I'm super excited to try out this palette. I wish it included how to's on how to create the looks pictured, but I'll live :)

August Glymm Bag

So this is a little bit late but better late than never! I'm really liking Glymm a lot better than Glossybox, so much so that I think I'm going to cancel my Glossybox after this month. Anyways, onto the goodies!

Princepessa Cattiva Diva hand cream (full size)

I've never used Princepessa products before but I'm going to look into the brand after this. This smells divine and fells amazing on my hands. Such a treat, I'm trying to use up my body shop almond hand cream and my L'occitane honey and lemon hand creme before I start using this full time.

Naked Princess lip gloss in barely coral

I wish this sample had been bigger, but I do really like the product. The colour is really pretty and I like the fact that it's natural because apparently we ingest 2lbs of lip product a year (gross). It's expensive for a lip gloss ($25) so I don't see myself buying this anytime soon.

Bentaberry G-1 moisturizing Face cream for boys and girls - Regulating line

This is made from 100% natural ingredients which I like. I haven't tried this yet as my skin has been acting up a bit, but I'm looking forward to taking this on a weekend away. I'd never heard of this brand before my glymm box this month so I'll be looking into it more.

Vitamine & Sea Mineral Clay Mask

I haven't tried this yet as I've been avoiding new products for my face until it calms down. I love face masks though and can't wait to try this. According to the product card it's supposed to give skin "a soft, tight, sexy, radiant glow." who doesn't like the sound of that?

Mai Couture Blush Papier in Prettyful

I'd never heard of this brand/type of product before. Apparently you just rub it on your cheeks and it gives you blush. Seems really great for traveling.

I also LOVE the bag this month, it's black patent quilted and it will be perfect for weekend trips. I really like getting these every month and I would totally recommend Glymm to those wanting to get started with a beauty subscription.

July Glymm Beauty Bag

So this is the first Glymm bag I've received and so far my impression is mildly positive. I wouldn't say I'm jumping up and down for joy with this subscription but I've heard that it's hit and miss some months. I do really like the little makeup bag that you get with it though. Here is a link to the product list of whats in this bag.

Dirt Salt Scrub
 This smells great, but I'm really disappointed with the size as I don't think it'll do my whole body.

Cyberderm H20 Hydration and PM Anti-Age
I've never heard of this brand, but the packaging is super cute! They look like needles.

Joico K-Pak Revitaluxe hair treatment
 Love this, I'm not huge into hair products as my hair is relatively healthy so I tend to not spend my money on them. This hair mask didn't weigh down my fine hair at all and made it feel smooth and silky, plus it had a light citrus smell that was really nice. 

Social Butterfly Hair Perfume 
Great idea, hate the scent. It's too perfumey and sweet for my tastes. I think I'll pass this on to my sister who likes these kind of scents. 

June Glossybox Review

So I got a May Glossybox but didn't post about it because I didn't get it until after I got back from Italy. Here's a rundown of June's box with all the products and some thoughts on them.

Bioré - 4-in-1 Revitalizing Cleanser (200ml/full size) (retails for $9.99)

 Tried this once and hate it, it burns my sensitive skin. Will be getting rid of this ASAP. Does anyone know if you can donate products to goodwill? I don't want to chuck it in the bin if someone else can use it.

Neutrogena ultra sheer sunscreen SPF 55 (14 ml) (full size retails for $15.99/88ml)

Have had a couple of samples of this already, and it's alright. I'm not jumping up and down or anything for this product but it is a good high SPF sunscreen.

Wella Ocean Spritz Beach Texture Hairspray (150ml/full size) (retails for $16.99)

I was really excited to try this because I've been eying the Bumble and Bumble Ocean Spray for a while but couldn't quite justify the price. I've tried using it as directed and on my super straight hair it doesn't work. It works great when I braid my hair at night and let it dry, giving it a more textured look than normal. I've also tried applying it to my hair wet and using my diffuser to dry my hair with really pretty results. This is the only product in the box that I was really happy with because it worked and I didn't already own it.

Olay Regenerist Wrinkle Revolution Complex (7 ml) (full size retails for $30.99/50ml)

Gave this to my mom, as at 26 I don't really need to worry about wrinkles yet...

CoverGirl Flip Stick in Minx (3.8g/full size) (retails for $12.50)

 Cool concept, rubbish colour for me. Makes me look like I'm trying to be a bit gothic. Would love to try this in a pink or coral tone. 

Gillette Venus Razor (full size/retails for $13.50)

 I use a Venus razor regularly, so I'll just throw this extra body into my overnight bag so I don't have to worry about packing one for weekend trips. 

Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strip (1 strip) (full size 8 pack retails for $9.99)

I've used these in the past and my pores are never super clogged so this is a meh product for me. I'll use it at some point I'm sure, but for now it's staying in my box of samples. 

Honestly I'm a little disappointed in this months box. I'm going to keep my subscription for another month or two and then decide if my money is better spent elsewhere. I've signed up for Topbox and Glymm box as well as Julep Maven for the month of August so expect reviews on those as they arrive! I'm really excited for Julep Maven as I love nail polish.
