July Glossybox Canada

Hey Everyone! My July Glossybox just arrived at my door and I had to write up a quick post to show you the joy I found inside! For those who are not aware, Glossybox is a monthly beauty subscription, for $15 a month you receive a box full of beauty goodies, many of which are full size and well worth over the $15! For a product junkie (like myself) I highly recommend it, it allows you to try out new products without breaking the budget! 

Now that you have an idea of what the subscription is, lets get into what came in this months box!

01 - Zoya Nail Polish: I was extremely happy to see this in the box! I have been waiting for a nail polish for a while (I may have a bit of an addiction) and this was the perfect find. I have never heard of Zoya before but I just put it on my nails and its wonderful. The coverage is wonderful and the colour reminds me of Models Own Beach Party, but I only needed barely 2 coats! This product retails for $8 and I got the colour Arizona (Oh I forget to mention this is a full size product!)

02 - Alessandro International: This is a heel rescue balm, now I received a foot product before and never used it, sadly my feet have been feeling neglected and maybe this is a calling for a pedicure? I could always throw on a coat of the polish as well. Anyway, this product is 30 mL and a full size, which is 100 mL, retails for $19.95.

03 - John Frieda Go Blonder Spray: I have heard about this product, and I have only used it once, it recommends using it 3-5 times before seeing results, the only thing that bothers me about it is it works with heat, it actually says the more heat the blonder... however I fried my hair not to long ago, resulting in a pixie cut to save it... so the LOTS of heat worries me. But we shall see. This is another full size product and retails for $13.99.

04 - Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer: I actually own this product already and love it, so another one is always welcome. I got the shade Plum which is a little darker than I'd go for everyday wear BUT if I ever go out or in the fall it'll be perfect. The shimmer is almost like a balm which is also ideal to keep those lips kissably smooth. This is another full size product and retails for $5.99.

05 - Dove Softening Creme Body Wash: I love Dove body washes. This one smells divine and I used it in the shower today and my skin is thanking me for it. I am definitely adding this to my showering routine. This is another full size product (way to go Glossybox!) and retails for $5.99.

06 - Beautysoclean Sanitizer Wipes: I can see a makeup artist loving these up. However I am not too concerned about my product with this, if I ever doubt them I tend to throw them out (pink eye and such) however this would be perfect for my mascara brushes to give them a new lease on life. These are a few samples but a full pack of 48 wipes retails for $12.50.

All in all a good box. I was over the moon for the polish, so I was sold the minute I laid eyes on it. If you'd like to subscribe to Glossybox (which I highly recommend you do right now) please follow the link here. This is my personal favourite beauty box and they allow you many chances to receive a free box! Which is a nice added bonus!

June Glossybox Canada

Hey Everyone! So yesterday evening my Glossybox came in the mail and I decided I would do an unboxing for you. Sadly because of siblings maxing out the internet I can only do a blog post for you and no video. But don't fret I'll explain everything for you.

If you are new to Glossybox, Glossybox is an online subscription that you sign up for and each month they send you a box filled with beauty goodies. If you are a product junkie this is the perfect thing for you. It is only $15 (Canadian) and the boxes are worth a lot more than you pay. So far my boxes sit around the $50-$60 mark which is an amazing value. If you would like to sign up please click here.

Now into the box!

This month's box contained some exciting stuff, but I don't think it was my favourite box so far. However, the products I did get are amazing and I am NOT at all disappointed. Below will be a list of the products and a bit about what they are, and my thoughts on them.

Bioré 4-in-1Revitalizing Cleanser - this is a cleanser that also acts as a make-up remover which I think is really neat. This product is a full-size product and retails for $9.99. I gave this product a try last night and the only complaint I have is it smells very chemically which I don't find appealing, but I will give it a go.

Neutrogena Ultra-Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen Lotion SPF 55 - I have been using Neutrogena sunscreen on my face for as long as I can remember. However I don't tend to be using it lately because the tinted moisturizer I use has an SPF in it. So I decided to give this to my mother. A full size of this product retails for $15.99.

Wella Professionals Ocean Spritz - Wella is a brand that has shown up a lot in the beauty boxes, which I don't mind since I like their products. I tried to give this a try but I need to spend more time on it since my hair is very short, it can get a little less sexy-beach and a little more electrical shock, which isn't ideal. This product is full-size and retails for $16.99.

Olay Regenerist Wrinkle Revolution Complex - this is a wrinkle cream to reduce fine lines as to hydrate the skin. Being 21, I don't really need an anti-aging product so I gave this to my mother as well. A full-size of this product retails for $30.99.

Covergirl Flipstick Blendable Lip Duo - this product has one end that is a shimmer and one that is a colour so that you can blend it together to create many different lip looks. I got the shade 800 Whisper, which is a gorgeous pink colour (see swatch above). This is a full-size product that retails for $12.50.

Gillette Venus Embrace Razor - I love Venus razors, the only problem I have with them is the price. The refills get quite expensive, which isn't ideal when you are on a budget. So this little razor was a nice treat for me. This is a full-size product and retails for $13.43.

Bioré Deep Cleansing Pore Strips - Sally did a review on these a little bit ago, and I haven't used them in a long time so this will be a nice treat. This was a bonus item in the box and those are always nice little surprises that Glossybox puts in their boxes. A full-size of this product retails for $9.99.

Well there you have it. The box is definitely worth every penny, and each time you get one it is almost like a little present each month. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone! 

Do you subscribe to Glossybox? If you do did you get anything different in your box?

Product Review : Tree Hut Shea Body Butter

In my recent BeautyBox5 Box (you can read my review here, and visit their website here) I received this sample of Shea Body Butter by Tree Hut.  I have to say, I think of love it more than my Coca  and Shea Body Lotion (see my review here).   It's perfect to use on your legs, hands and feet!

Pros : Nourishes your skins and leaves glowing and soft.  It also sinks into your skin within a few minutes letting you go about your busy day.

Cons : It is a bit sticky, so you will have to let it sink in for a few minutes before putting clothes on.  

Overall I really like this body butter and am considering ordering a large tub of it! If you'd like more information on this product, or Tree Hut in general, you can visit their website.

June Glymm Box!

The other day I received my June Glymm Box, and I have to say I'm a lot more happy with it than my BeautyBox5 one (you can read my review of it here).  For those of you who don't know what Glymm is, it's a beauty box based in Canada (specifically in Montreal) and retails for $12.  You can visit their website here.  For your box you fill out a beauty profile for your specific needs which is really great.  Each month includes 4 - 6 deluxe samples (and sometimes full versions).  They also include a card saying where you can get all the information (prices for full size, what's in the products, how to use them, how many uses you'll get out of each sample and ordering) on their website, which I've used to put the price points below! *All prices are in Canadian Dollars

Glymm Makeup Bag - This is what all of my products came in!  I thought it was a really cool way of presenting your products in something you can use later on.  This bag retails for $12.

Vitamin and Sea Perfect Skin Solution - This small sample size can be used up to 5 times and is supposed to help keep your skin looking vibrant.  This product full size (45mL) is $68.

La Fresh Nail Polish Remover - They've included two wipes which are good for two uses.  For the full size (18 wipes) it costs $10.

Harmony Duo Lipstick - It's a tube with lipstick on one end and lip butter on the other, and is supposed to have long lasting colour.  This was a full size product, which retails for $20.

CB's Smoothing Marine Cream - The sample is good for 10 - 15 uses and gently cleanses your face.  The full size of this product of 50 mL is $115.

ItlsDream Fragrance - The sample is good for 35 sprays and is supposed to have a fruity-floral-woody combination.  The retail price for 60mL is $54.

Price of the Box : $12
Value of the Box : $32 +

I've also filmed a video on this box which you can view here.  I'm currently looking forward to getting my next box in July and can't wait to see what they've included! What beauty box service is your favourite?
