The Limited Edition GLOSSYBOX Holiday Box

GLOSSYBOX boxes are gorgeous as it is, but their Limited Edition boxes?  OMG beautiful. I think this rose gold one is my favorite ever.  So beautiful.

GLOSSYBOX releases the contents of their Limited Edition boxes in advance so it’s not much of a surprise when you open it up.  I, however, ordered this back in October when they offered subscribers the chance to pre-order with a 25% off coupon code included in the October box!  At the time I ordered the contents had yet to be revealed, but I knew I wasn’t going to be disappointed.

The GLOSSYBOX Limited Edition Holiday Box included the following (full-size) items:

~Nuxe – Winter Muse Limited Edition Huile Prodigieuse® Multi Usage Dry Oil ($45): This dry oil can be used on your hair, face and body.  I found the scent to be light and subtle and love the handy spray top.  It feels very luxurious on your skin and worked well to smooth down my flyaways.  Don’t spray a ton in your hair though or it will weigh it down.

~Estee Lauder AERIN Beauty ‘Kaleidolight’ Face & Eye Palette ($70): OMG. Is is not the most gorgeous pallet ever?  It’s stunning.  I am debating if I want to gift it (wouldn’t it make an incredible gift?) so I didn’t want to stick my fingers all in it to swatch it, but trust me, it’s even more beautiful in person.

~ARDENCY INN Modster Eyeliner ($19): I’m not a huge wearer of eyeliner by any means, but I can tell that this is super smooth and creamy.  Yet it still is firm enough to draw a thin line with.  It comes in a variety of colors, but I believe all of the holiday boxes will include the black one like I received.

~Trust Fund Beauty Nail Polish (Champagne Socialite) ($15): Trust Fund Beauty polishes are vegan and 5-free.  It’s a rose colored champagne shade and has just the right amount of shimmer for the holidays (and beyond).  I am in desperate need of a polish change and this is going on my nails in the morning.

~Pure Illumination Light Up Lip Gloss (Pouty Pink) ($20): I have received a few “light-up” lip glosses, but this is by far the coolest.  And the brightest maybe.  As soon as you unscrew the cap it lights right up and stays lit.  There is a mirror on one side of the tube so it has everything you need to perfectly apply gloss no matter what the lighting is like.  The color is a deep peach’ish / pink and has a fantastic shine to it.

~L’Atelier Maquillage Mascara KeraCare (~$28): This mascara is awesome. I normally like the curved brushes, but this flat one works awesome.  I didn’t have any issues with clumping or flaking and it lengthened my lashes with just one coat.

According to GLOSSYBOX, the GLOSSYBOX Limited Edition Holiday Box has a value of $190.  I calculated it to be a bit higher than that, but that may be because of the exchange rate with the mascara.  Regardless, it’s an insane value and I am blown away by it!  everything is such high quality and in very usable shades and colors.  Great box!

    I did not order this year’s box but it looks really nice and I love the packaging, very festive.

    I bought this for the palette and polish, and the rest is just a bonus. Fingers crossed it will come tomorrow.

    Oh wow!!! I got this box for myself and as a gift for my SIL. it seemed in the spoilers to be very light tones. But looking at your pics it just looks so gorgeous. Im so glad i got this box now. Beautiful items.

    Mine came today. I love it all! I’ve already sprayed the oil on my ends before bed and tried the lip gloss. I love the color. It is an outstanding box for $30.

      I adore the Nuxe oil and my bottle is almost gone, so I was planning on ordering a new one. This looks like a wonderful box and it’s kind of great that I can get all these goodies for the cost of the oil alone. I love the scent of the Nuxe oil so much I bought the perfume, and I also put a few drops of the oil in my bath.

    I have several Pure Illumination glosses (the same color you got in fact) and I adore the gloss. It is so shiny and nourishing. I think it uses Lanolin instead of other moisturizers you see in lipglosses.

    I also Pure Illumination is made by the Lano Company which was featured on “The Profit” which I thought was neato.

    The nail polish is so pretty!

    My Nuxe oil had a tag on the side that says Happy Holidays from Nuxe and she I pulled it off there is another tag under that one that says “tester not for resale”. I reached out to GB to inquire but they have decided not to respond. It’s still nice and the box worth $30 I paid but just curious about that
