My First GlossyBox! (May 2013)



First of all, the presentation is delightful!
For $21 I expected it to be better than my first box-subscription experience ($10) but I was blown away by how MUCH better.

The inner box is smooth and very well made and if you like boxes (like me) you will really like it.
The products I got were well worth the cost, here is what I got:


  • A ModelCo lipstick/lipgloss dual-ended thing which also manages to have a mirror on it also. I actually saw a preview of the limited-edition 2013 Wedding version of the GlossyBox ($40) and it seemed to feature this exact thing, I'm afraid it would be the same color or I would buy that one. The gloss looked and smelled great! The lipstick was a bit dark on me (I'm porcelain, NC25 so most things are). I thought briefly of trying to separate the two but hard plastic is so....shatter-y. In the end it would up being given to my (much tanner) mom. 



  • A solid perfume that was really nice and smelled like oranges, not like house cleaner fake-smelling orange, but nice. I don't know the brand (I got my 2nd glossybox today and remembered I hadn't posted about the first one yet, but it's on the GB website. 



  • A lime green shimmer Zoya polish. I like MOST of Zoya's colors, but this is not one of them. 



  • Some Sebastian root-lift spray gel. I haven't tried this yet but it is a pretty good size and I like their products. 



  • A fabric collagen mask, I haven't tried this yet. The instructions are mostly in other languages so I wanted to look into it a bit more before slapping it on my face but it looks really cool. 



  • A small tube of anti-aging serum, the full-size version of which I saw was $100. I haven't tried this yet but it's not a brand I have heard of before and I don't know that much about it. 



  • Two packet-sized samples of a body wash and exfoliator from a waxing salon brand. 


There was also a small magazine which was basically just pics of products. They Included a coupon for a free waxing but, as an Aesthetician, I don't really need that at all.

All in all, I was really happy with this, I felt like it was worth the money and I loved the presentation. This would be wonderful to give/get as a present.
