GLOSSYBOX | MODERN ROMANCE

Hi readers today I'm showing you another awesome Glossybox, November's Modern Romance issue. This month is Glossybox' two year anniversary and because of this they included two more gifts as well, a Zalando coupon code and a Pink Gellac nail file. Let's have a look shall we..

First Impression

This month's box makes me very happy, because awhile ago I wanted to buy Benefit's They're Real Mascara but I completely forgot about it. So hooray for this sample box as I now can test a mini version to see if it's really as fabulous as people claim to be. Anatomicals' Showergel smells divine kinda like cola flavored candy (yumm right), so I can't wait to try this one as well. 

The TONI&GUY hairspray is suppose to protect against humidity, something that's very important when you've spend hours curling your hair for example. The thing is that I'll probably curl my hair for the holidays, so I'll try it out then. I'm still searching for the perfect (and affordable) skincare products that can not only clean my skin but also remove my makeup at night so we'll see if this will happen with Avène's Skincare set. The Balance Me lip salve seems to be a nice color and packed with awesome ingredients.

All in all I think that this month's issue has some good stuff that people really need everyday. Good job Glossybox. 

Have you tried one of these items before or would you like to?

GLOSSYBOX | OCTOBER

Hello there how have you been? The title states October and I know what you're thinking (it's already freaking November right..), but these past two weeks have been quite busy for me, arranging things for my exchange to Mexico, finishing the first draft of an investment plan, preparing for a presentation etc. And so I totally forgot I ever received this box and therefore of course didn't upload this post in the month it was issued. Too bad on my part sorry.

For last month's edition Beautybox Glossybox collaborated with a well-known Dutch beauty blogger named Mascha Feoktistova, creator of Beautygloss. She has apparently been receiving these boxes for a few years now and for this edition she was asked to create her own box filled with 5 of her favorite products. Lets have a look shall we..

Box Contents:

• Christina Aguilera - Unforgettable body lotion and perfume (both samples)
• Miners Cosmetics - Color Quilt Blusher (full-size)
• Golden Rose - City Style Mascara (full-size)
• The Body Shop - Honeymania lip balm (full-size)
• Andrélon - Make it Shine Spray (full-size)

I haven't tried them yet unfortunately, but I do think this box contains nice items. Basically the necessary products that every girl should have. I believe these are very good for the girl on the go that just needs 4-5 products in total for her hair and face and I think these products do exactly that.

Do you see anything you would like to try from this box?

Note 15 November:
So I just found that I had titled this post as Beautybox' october while you can clearly see that this was suppose to be about the Glossybox. Of course I now have two posts with the same permalink, but oh well...I just shouldn't blog when I'm tired. Xoxo

Price: 

30 Dollars for 100ml

Fragrance: 

Has a light muddy and sea salt smell

Packaging: 

I personally love crèmes in a tube so that contamination is practically out of the question.

Consistency: 

Soft creamy texture, applies very easy and smooth on the skin.

My view:

I've received a 20 ml sample with September's Glossybox. I've used this twice now, applying it to a clean and dry face and neck. Left overnight, because I could and well you can never have enough moisture for your skin right. The mask doesn't dry hard like most others do, probably because of the moisturizing ingredients. Feels a bit like aloe gel once its drying, kinda sticky but not in an annoying way. I will finish the sample tube that I have now, but probably won't reorder unless I can find it on the ground. 

Have you ever tried products from AHAVA?

REVIEW | OCÉANE - MAKE UP REMOVER PEN

Description

Use for removal of excess makeup around your eyes, lips, and those corners that smear every time you apply makeup. The tip of the pen contains a liquid makeup remover without fragrance that does not dry out the skin. Full size (3 ml) / 4 Euro

My thoughts

I love to use this on moments I suck at applying eyeliner (you know when you're in a hurry and the application of eyeliner is the worst ever...). It's very easy to use and does indeed work. For the price it's a handy item to have especially when you're on the go and don't want to be bothered with carrying around cotton buds with you. What's also great is that you also receive 3 refill tips, so this could last quite some time really.

Ingredients

Laureth-12 meadow foam seed oil, 1.3-butanediol, water deionized, liquid germall ®plus.

Note: received in the Glossybox september issue

Have you ever used a makeup remover pen?

Glossybox: The September Issue

Hi everyone how have you been this past week? School is really killing me, have to read so much stuff that I decided to not start up my computer at all past week as I know how I can get while browsing online. Good news though...almost done catching up one of my subjects and passed my first French written test with a 8,9 out of 10 whoop whoop. I can do this, just a few more weeks till the exams.

Anywho a few weeks ago I read about these beautyboxes that you can order online for a small fee, around 15 Euros per month. These boxes contain sample and sometimes even full sizes of high-end beauty products which is totally awesome. Since I've quite found my favorite products so far (I think), I thought this would be a perfect way for me to test and review certain items that would've otherwise never be purchased.

Since I ordered this quite late I still received the September issue, but I don't mind that at all. I mean look at the pictures below at how beautiful this box and the content looks.

Product Information

Glossybox Content:

• Yves Rocher - Sexy Pulp Lipgloss (Full-size)
• Elie Saab - Le Parfum, Scented Body Lotion (30ml sample)
• Elie Saab - Le Parfum, Eau de Parfum (1ml sample)
• AHAVA - Hydration Cream Mask (20ml sample)
• OCÉANE - Make Up Remover Pen (Full-size)
• EMITE MAKE UP - Eyelash Curler (Full-size)

Isn't the box design just plain gorgeous? I absolutely love it. Designed by this amazing artist named Cil Laurens. This was a collaboration though as Glossybox really wanted a special September issue and I really feel like this design suits this perfectly.. Don't you agree? I also liked the product information as it shows which items were sample sizes and which weren't. In addition to that it also shows you how much each product costs so you do indeed get your money's worth. 

Well I'm really happy that I've ordered this and can't wait to try them all out for you and write my review for them soon. Ooh btw I've also ordered the beautybox, so I should receive two boxes filled with new goodies per month ^_^ So stay tuned.

Have you ever ordered a beautybox or something similar? What goodies have you found through this?
