Haul: Sept-Oct Glymm Boxes + brief thoughts on each item =]

Alrighty, I'm so far behind on these but you guys know why...school is abusing me! Anyways, I haven't been experimenting with these products yet because I literally have 15 min in the morning and I'm out of the house. So instead of giving a review of each product that I got in the Glymm Box like I usually do, I will just show you just what I got and briefly talking about the ones I did try at least once.

Don't know what a Glymm Box is? Find out on my August Glymm Box or go to glymm.com


SEPTEMBER GLYMM BOX

*CLICK TO ENLARGE*
Cute packaging as always with a greeting card and product descriptions.

*CLICK TO ENLARGE*
Try these samples and buy them at Glymm's online boutique.
You can use the points you accumulate =]
You can also give your friends your referral link so that you can earn points!
Feel free to use my referral link but of course you don't have to! But if you do, let me know because the system is messed up and they have to manually add the points for you =S

This is was I see when I opened the wrappings! =D

Oscar De La Renta-Esprit d'Oscar
Nice floral scent, but I rarely change my perfume scent.
Dislike using perfume samples that do not come in a spritz bottle =[

What's going on here? The photo won't upload the way I want it. SORRY!
John Masters Organics-Blood Orange & Vanilla Body Wash and Milk
Love how these contains organic ingredients.
Dislike the scent =S
The wash does not foam, need a lot to wash the entire body =S
The body milk has a watery consistency, absorbs fast, non-sticky =]

*CLICK TO ENLARGE*
Vasanti-Rockies Blush
Full size item, described as a coral colour but I think it's more of a baby pink.
Very pigmented (but swatch is washed out by camera flash, SORRY!)
It has a natural sheen to it finish =]
Love it!!!

They always include these cute jar of Jelly Belly!!
I got Grape and Coconut flavours =D

*Sorry this picture came out bad as well, don't know why Blogger won't let me upload it up right -_-*
This is an extra goodie that Glymm included, they don't usually include extra goodies like this but I was glad because this bag is big enough to carry my long handle brushes when I travel (I don't have a brush roll =[)

Overall impression on September's Glymm Box is good, most of the products were a fail for me but the blush and makeup bag made it up for me. I loveeeee BLUSHES!! some of you may already know ;)

Now onto...

OCTOBER GLYMM BOX

*CLICK TO ENLARGE*
The external box they use to ship Glymm Boxes have changed, if you refer back to my August Glymm Box, you can see that it used to be pink but this doesn't matter =P

Lise Watier-Lip Kiss Crayon Gloss in Melon Twist 71430
Full size product: Love this item because I wanted a read lippie. Although this is a "gloss" it actually looks like a lipstick because its super pigmented and glides on like butter but I need to apply a lipbalm underneath or else it feels a little bit dry!
Smells so good too! Like Sour Candy! ;)
Not a fan of the glitters thought, hard to wash off.
Packaged exactly like NYX jumbo pencils.

Principessa Bacio Lip Balm
Another full size item =]
Love the consistency. Very light, smooth and moisturizing also non-sticky and easy to wash off.
Contains Vitamin E and Shea Butter =]
Clear lip gloss, no colourings at all.

Caudalie Premier Cru Cream
Cute 2ml sample, size of my pinky =)
Light texture, moisturizing, leaves skin with a healthy glow/sheen =]
Light citrus scent mixed with floral not a fan of this smell =[

Blinc Mascara in BlackI've ALWAYSSSSSSSS wanted to try BLINC products! I want to try their peel-able liner! yep, it's peel-able so you don't need to wash it off with water nor makeup remover! How cool is that?!?!
I haven't tried this yet because I have too many mascara open right now and this mascara says it only last 6 months so I'll try this later =]
This sounds very interesting as well =] Its claims: Blinc water-resistant mascara that "tubes" around your lashes that cannot run, smudge, clump or flake. A combination of lots of warm water and gentle pressure will slide the tubes effortlessly into your hand.

Swatches
See how pigmented the Lise Watier "gloss" is? It's soo weird how it feels like lipgloss but acts like a lipstick and smells like CANDY! Love it!

Jelly Belly!
Orange and Black for Halloween (don't know what flavour the black is probably licorice? but it's nasty!! no more please!)

Overall, I was impressed with this box. I loved how there were so many makeup items in this box instead of skincare/nail polishes/hair products because Luxe Boxes takes care of that!
Did any of you get the GLymm Box? How do you like them so far? I hope you love them cuz I do!! It's like getting a Christmas/Birthday present every month! =D

Hope you guys enjoyed this longggggg post =] Talk to you guys on my next post!

Luxe Box by Loose Button: August Edition

Hey hey girlies :)

It's that time of the month again! Wonder what I got in my August Luxe Box? Keep reading to find out =]

 

Cheeky Monkey: Nail Polish (Full Size) - $15 for 15ml
*Not really my type of colour choice, prefer lighter/nudy colours
*Dislike polishes so I was disappointed to see ANOTHER polishes in our Luxe Box =[, oh well =P
*Cute packaging
*Suede like cap (cap has a similar texture to NARS products)
*This polish does not have a super strong nail polish smell which is good but the toxic smell is still there

Colour: Agiter Document (metallic black)

City Lips: Lip Plumping Treatment - $35 for 5ml
*Dislike lip plumping products
*This type of products temporarily "plump" your lips due to IRRITATION which is why you usually experience tingly sensation on your lips. These irritants found in "lip plumping" products are causing inflammation in your lips which is why your it appears to be "plumper"

Proclaim: Cocoa Butter Hand and Body Lotion (3 fl oz) - $8 for 32 fl. oz.
*Love the texture, leaves skin moisturized, not oily, not sticky, does not leave a sheen on your skin
*Hate the smell of this moisturizer. Very sweet and very chocolaty
*Will only use this if I'm going out so that the smell can diffuse better/faster and not linger around me for long

Calvin Klein: Forbidden Euphoria Rollerball Fragrance Sample (3ml) - $78 for 50ml
*Love how this is a rollerball
*Smell a bit too strong for my taste but it's doable
*Excited to try this more

Sheyna: Handmade Jewelery
Special Treat from Loose Button
*My jaws dropped when I saw this, it was so unusual to get jewelery in our Luxe Box
*Cute design
*Haven't worn this yet because I tend to get an allergic reaction to certain type of jeweleries

 

 

 

 

What do you girls think about this month's Luxe Box?
I personally wasn't that impressed at all, would much rather with the nail polish for the Pur pressed powder foundation that others got
Why can't they give samples like they used to? =[
