I was totally shocked when I got an October GLOSSYBOX shipping e-mail notification late last week. This is early for them and this being a special collaboration box with Bydrie, I wasn’t expecting it to arrive for a while.
GLOSSYBOX ships via USPS (via some third party service I believe) and took just a few days to arrive to me this month. Like I said our boxes came super fast this month. I don’t usually expect it to arrive until the last few days of the month.
I knew this was a collaboration month which usually means a special box, but I was still surprised to see this black / grey box this month. I save all of my GLOSSYBOX boxes and this one will certainly get added to that collection.
I never got around to looking at any full spoilers for this month so when I opened the box, I was totally surprised! I haven’t gone spoiler free on GLOSSYBOX in a while and it was actually quite nice. I’m sure it won’t be a trend going forward though!
The October GLOSSYBOX was a collaboration with Byrdie, which is a destination for all things beauty. It’s got reviews and tips and lots of fun goodies. And I was very excited when I heard that they were pairing up with GB for October because I knew it was going to be fabulous! And it did not disappoint. Here are the details:
~Tarte Lights, Camera, Flashes Statement Mascara ($23): This was the spoiler that was released for this box and listen, this is even more fabulous in person than it is it is pictures. It’s so fancy that I wasn’t even sure about how to open it. The gold – that is the actual mascara packaging. Isn’t it beautiful? And the mascara itself is fabulous too. I can’t speak to how long it lasts since I just tried it this afternoon, but it made my lashes nice and long and didn’t clump.
~Sesha Rejuvenating Anti-Wrinkle Mask ($9): I am loving all the masks that have been coming in subscription boxes lately! I haven’t tried this yet, but it’s suppose to “smoothe fine lines and wrinkles, but also calm the skin from environmental stresses to rejuvenate it back to a youthful glow.” I am still trying out some other masks, so sadly this one is going to have to wait.
~Balance Me Shine on Tinted Lip Salve ($19.37): I love the color of this lip gloss and it feels great on (it’s not sticky and goes on perfect), but I don’t love the smell. It’s not horrid, but it could be better for sure.
~Bvlgari Eau Parfumee Au The Vert de Cologne ($4):Wow, I wasn’t expecting to love this, but I do! It’s got a great clean scent. Nothing too heavy or off-putting. I wouldn’t mind a bottle of this for B and I to share (it’s for men and women).
~Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream ($12.60): I love the fresh line (who doesn’t love their lip treatments) and have never tried any of their face cream. This is light weight and a little bit goes a long way. Also, it smells like cucumbers which I loved.
All totaled the October GLOSSYBOX had a value of $67.97! GLOSSYBOX is only $21/month, but I actually locked in a rate of $18.75/month back when they had that special. They remain one of my favorite subscription boxes and always provide a crazy value for the cost of the box. No idea how they do it, but I love it!
