Glossybox DE: January and February

I was about to post this as January's Glossybox until my doorbell was ringing and there was the DHL delivery guy with a Glossybox. It confused me because usually on their FB page they show huge stacks of boxes in the back of a DHL truck ready to be shipped out. Well it was a very nice surprise indeed. I love getting stuff in the post!!!

Here is all the products. Sorry I didn't get a close up of them but they have scattered across my home.

Everdry (Full Size)-These are hand sanitizer cloths individually wrapped 10 packs each and these will cost you 9,95 €. I haven't tried these yet but I will soon since I used the last of my hand sanitizer today.

Luvos Goldmaske *Extra*-This is also full-sized creme mask that has collagen and moisturizing properties and costs 2-4 € depending if the drugstore is having a sale. 

Institut Karite Extra Gentle Body Milk (Silver tube)-Via the Glossy card; it is the best selling luxury body lotion in Paris. I can smell the Shea butter when I tried it out and it is very smooth without the greasy feeling. Full size is 250ml and you'll be paying 23,00 €.

Prija Body Wash/Hair Shampoo-Via the Glossy card; Ginseng is the main ingredient in this Asian based product; great for year round whether you use it for your body or hair. Full size is 380ml for 16,95 €.

Model Co Lip Enhancer Illusion Lip Liner (Full Size)-The colour is a nude pink/coral and it looks great full on the lips with a clear lip gloss it is in pencil form and the cap has sharpener attached; liner is 1,5 g and costs 17,00 €.

BM Beauty Make-up Brush (Full Size)-I watch other Glossy DE videos (and others) some girls received a either a powder, blush or eyeshadow. I classify mine as an eyeshadow brush that could be used to blend and buff out harsh lines. I washed it and tugged on it a little bit and no hair fell out but I will be using soon! Price 7, 50 €.

My opinion, I love the box as all other Glossyboxes I've received and I haven't been disappointed yet. So, the doorbell rings and DHL guy with the February box. 

The box is super cute! Of course received the GlossyMag and a Valentines day postcard which is a goat with hearts above its head and a monkey wearing a crown sitting on him, with the question 'Who's your Valentine?' and an arrow pointing to the heart shaped locket.

I keep all my boxes to store my products in and this one will be no exception.

Here are all the goodies! 

The bottom right is a perfume sample called Valentina which they through in it is not listed on the card. I think Glossybox DE is giving us these small extra samples (like the Luvos mask) which is awesome! I've gotten this perfume particular perfume sample before from Douglas. I love it and will more than likely buy it when I run out of my samples. To the left of the perfume is:

Gertraud Gruber Exquisit Body Perfect Body lotion. It's a German luxury brand and the lotion contains extracts of rose, Shea and olive oils. Contains no paraffin or colours!

The sample size is 30 ml, for a full size of 250 ml the price is 29,90 €

Model Co Lip Duo in Dusk (Lipstick-3.5 g) and Striptease (Gloss-5 ml) 

*Full Size* Retail Price 30, 80 €

Love the fact that it has a mirror on it. Model Co is an Australian brand that is also popular in New Zealand and China. My friend went to China last year and bought a few of lip products and the one I want to try is an LED lip gloss; it is a gloss with a mirror and you can turn the cap light on. I want one because it is cool and want it to show off. ^_^

The lipstick is a mauve-pink like colour with some small shimmers.

Peach gloss with small silver/gold shimmers. I love shimmer lip products and can't wait to try this out.

Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps - 18 in 1 Hemp Lavender Pure-Castile Soap *Full Size* 

This organic bottle of magic can be used as body wash, in the bubble bath or shampoo/scalp treatment. The smell is citrus like with a hint of lavender. 

59ml for 3, 50 €

Shortsexyhair SHATTER Finishing Spray *Full Size* 125ml 17, 95 €

I've never tried this brand before and so I'm excited by that. It has 7 Shine and 9 Hold (intensity). 

Etre Belle Cosmetics 'Collagen & Aloe Very Hydro Maske' *Full Size* 10 Masks + Serum 30, 80 €

I was very surprised to see a sheet mask inside a European Glossybox. I'm a quarter Korean and so I have my grandma send me sheet masks and other beauty products and cosmetics occasionally (because I'd rather have homemade kimchi and snacks ^_^). Now that I really look around at the German cosmetics only one drugstore brand offers a sheet mask and that's Essence and it's a moisturizing one so I have one of those but I haven't seen it restocked.

I love sheet masks! I think it's cute how they have the picture illustrations! The instructions on the back are in German, English, French, Spanish and Italian.

"Restructuring and moisturizing set with Collagen and Aloe Vera improves the skin's elasticity and provides optimum skin hydration. For fresh-looking and even skin texture. Suitable for all skin types."

I've been recently been for involved with my skincare aspects such as using products with more collagen and anti-aging properties since I'm not getting any younger! So, of course can't wait to try this out!

The Glossybox has shown me more love than before. I mean 4 full sized products!! That's crazy but well appreciated. This is one of my longest posts to date. Now, next month I might not be able to get the Glossybox, we are moving about 3 hours up the road and I don't know if we'll have a house by then. Which I'm bummed about because I believe March is the anniversary month of Glossy...but I'll let you know what happens.

Ciao!

December Glossybox 2012

Hello girlies, this is my December Glossybox!! I was so excited for this one to see what I got and to see if it beat last years box. This box is way better than last years. They incorporated a New Years theme into it and it is gorgeous.

I love that the box is silver. I don't know what I'm going to do with it just yet. For now, it's sitting on my vanity.

The wrapping paper is so cute!! I'm going to reuse it. We also received falsies. I didn't get a chance to wear them on New Years, so I'll save them for a later date. The box was named 'Bejeweled Edition'.

From L-R: Eau Thermale Avene D-Pigment, Maria Galland Stick Protection Solaire, Korres Eyeshadow, Cosline Concealer Nr. 965, MAKEUP FACTORY Nail Color Profi-Qualitat (Professional Quality)

Korres Shimmering Eyeshadow 745 Light Purple 

Cute shadow, I'll probably be grabbing for it more in the Spring. It doesn't come out like the picture shows, its very light so a primer and a base colour is a must. This is full sized 1,8 g at 12,80 €. 

I can't wait to try this. I'm definitely lacking in the purple department of my nail varnish collection. This is full sized 9 ml at 8,50€.

The Maria Galland Stick Protection Solaire is a sun block and has a very high SPF of 50+ UVA. It doesn't have a measurement but the full price is 19,50€ for 8 ml.

Eau Thermale Avene D-Pigment and the Cosline Concealer are full sized in this box. I'm ecstatic that 4 out of 5 products were full sized and the net worth of this box is way more than I payed for. (15€ a month) The concealer actually is great for my under eyes, I remembered last years box I got the Loreal concealer and couldn't use it; Cosline concealer is 9,00€ for 1,2 ml. The Avene clears up dark spots and hyper pigmentation of the skin. Instructions state to only use it at night and not to go out with it on in daylight. This will cost you 33,90€ for 30 ml. Yeah 33 euro that's almost double the price of the box!!

Overall, I'm super happy with this box. I reviewed these items on their website and racked up enough points for a free box so yeah January's box is free, yaay!! We are moving in March to a different part of Germany so I don't know if I'll get the February box. We will see.

Ciao!

March Glossybox: Anniversary Box

This is the anniversary Glossybox of Germany (DE). On the website, it told us that there were suprise items that would be going into the March box; and the names and prices of the suprise items wouldn't be reveiled until April. Here's what I got:

It came in this pretty wrapping paper, tie and card.

Card symbolizing DE's Glossybox first anniversary.

Starting with the OPI to the Peeling Grommage (L-R).

All product translations are taken from Glossybox.de:

OPI in Malaga Wine (1/4th size)-"The most beautiful nails you get the best nail polish in the world - from OPI. With high-quality color pigments and its splinter, he brings solid formulation for radiation and keeps the nails very long. The new "Pro Wide Brush" Brush ensures a streak free application. All of OPI nail polishes are free of formaldehyde and toluene. The Nail Lacquer is included in the colors "Lincoln Park After Dark", "Malaga Wine" and "Strawberry Margherita" in the GLOSSYBOX Beauty."

 JANE IREDALE Lip Plumper Tokyo (1/4th size)-"Give your lips fullness and color - with the lip plumper jane iredale Tokyo. Peppermint, spearmint oils and ginger root extract, stimulate blood circulation. The lips look a firmer and fuller. Also to be removed with essential oils of lemon and mandarin dry skin cells. Avocado, shea butter and sunflower oil maintain silky smooth. A hint of color makes the beautiful lips finally perfect."

Kryolan Eyebrow Powder (Full size)-"Velvety formulation particularly for use on the eyebrows. The powder spreads easily and is distinguished by its extraordinary adhesiveness. Eyebrow Powder is in the color "medium" contained in the GLOSSYBOX".

The Extremely Gentle Cleanser by Avene (1/4th size)-"is suited for the cleaning of sensitive skin. The lotion contains only specially selected ingredients, including 96% healing Avene thermal spring water. In addition to clarifying its action soothes the irritated skin product, it refreshes and does not leave a pleasant feeling of tension. Especially gentle surfactants maintain the face during cleansing. Extremely Gentle Cleanser is free of fragrances, dyes and parabens."

???-"Avocado and pomegranate extracts, vitamin E, antioxidants - sounds like a good mix and that's what it is! This brand new, mysterious peeling is not yet on the shelves, but it has already gone in the GLOSSYBOX. The balanced blend of effective cleansing and skin-friendly ingredients to the skin and makes it shine and fresh look."

Overall: I've tried the Kryolan and I love it! My shade is medium. I can't wait to try out the Avene cleanser and the mystery item. I love skincare so I was syked that I got to skincare products one full sized. Mid-April they will tell us what brand the mystery items are and how much they cost. All of my Glossybox have been over 10 Euros and I've got 2-3 full sized products. I think beauty boxes are a great idea, especially if you like getting things in the post. Its nice to get a small treat once a month. Will review most Glossybox products in a later post.

Ciao, ciao!!

 

**Update. The "???" product is a new Clearasil face product that will be on the shelves early this month. I'm very happy that I received something that wasn't on the market. I will be doing a post on items reviewed from previous Glossyboxes.**

January Glossybox (DE)

I received it today which was a surprise; I usually get it on Friday or Saturday. Here it is:

It's a darker pink! I wonder why this is; usually its in a light pink box. Love the colour!!

I dont know why these two pictures are like this when in my picture library it looks like the first. *Sigh* They added a heart sticker and not the Glossybox logo sticker. I wonder what colours and stickers they are going on the February box. Its cute right?

Starting with the top clear bottle that is a lip plumper from UMA Cosmetics, Weleda Wildrosen Plegemilch (pink box), Astor Lacque DeLuxe,  Luvos Soft Peeling Maske and Korres Milk Soap.

Uma Lip Boost (Icy Clear)---The "Lip Boost" uma cosmetics combines moisturizing lip balm with a special Maxi Lip Complex, which increases the lip volume. Thereby acting to plump lips and the connective tissue of the lip skin is compressed. In addition, special polymers to give in "Lip Boost" incomparable brilliance. The "Lip Boost Chilli" also contains chilli extracts that stimulate circulation and give more volume instantly. The "Lip Boost" is present in the following statements in the GLOSSYBOX Beauty: "icy clear", "big bang", "shout out loud", "pepper choc" and "extremely polar

Korres Milk Soap---Who pays much attention to a particularly mild cleansing of the skin will love the "Milk Soap" by Korres. The creamy-lathering soap with contained milk protein prevents inflammation and stimulates the regeneration of the skin. It is dermatologically tested and also for the cleaning of the face may be used.


Astor Lacque DeLuxe---This brilliant nail polish holding - thanks to its special formula Lycra - for up to ten days on the nails. He is extremely smooth, shock-proof and does not splinter off. Due to the flat, rounded brush Salon Pro, the color very accurately and evenly distribute. The "Lycra Deluxe Lacquer" is included in the colors "Pure Lilac," "Flamingo Shimmer", "VIP Violet" and "Deep Green" in the GLOSSYBOX Beauty.


Weleda---Regenerating skin care is essential in winter. The "Sea Buckthorn Body Lotion" from WELEDA is just right, because it provides natural vitamins and unsaturated fatty acids with new vitality for the entire body. The skin is smoothed and fresh scent of grapefruit, orange and tangerine.


Luvos Soft Peeling Maske---The natural scrub gently removes dead skin-active complex, deep cleans and clarifies the complexion. The cell renewal is stimulated and the skin tone even. Minerals and trace elements remove the Luvos Heilerde blemishes effectively and allow the skin to be smoother, softer and more supple.

I love bath products and two have a second soap in two months is pretty cool. It smells really good. I love masks. In general, I love this months box; I did get four full sized products.

Ciao Bellas

December Glossybox (DE)

I love getting things in the post. This came a week before Christmas it was like a mini treat. There were 3 full sized products which I was super excited about! Here it is.

Both Loreal products and the Ritual Shower gel were full sized.

I love Creme 21, in Germany you can get this in any drugstore. Its nice having this small one to put in my purse for touch ups. In the winter my skin becomes very dry.

This Loreal Studio Secrets is a blush and sculpting duo. I haven't used it yet, but I can't wait to try it. I've needed a pink blusher. Glad I didnt buy one.

Alessandrio Chocolat and Caramel hand cream. This is amazing!! Smells so good and doesn't leave the hands greasy. I'm very picky about my lotions and hand creams, I can't stand the sticky greasy feeling.

Ritual foaming shower gel, Eucalyptus and Rosemary. It smells so good, I've never had an herbally body wash but I really like this and shall repurchase in the future.

Loreal Studio Secrets Cover stick. Its supposed to conceal and blend but....

as you can see this is no where near my skin colour, I had to re-check my profile and I did mark dunkel (dark) on my profile. I can't use this at all; which is disappointing because this is a product that I've wanted to try. I'll have to give this away.

Overall, I loved the Christmas Glossybox. January's box should be coming next week so stay tuned.

Ciao!

October Glossybox Review

I signed up for the Glossybox in September, I know I'm late about putting this out. I didn't receive the November box, I had problems with the bank and Glossybox. So yeah. I'll get the December-Christmas box, which everyone is hyped about. I don't know where my card to tell me the prices I only know 3. Here are the pics:

So I opened my box and got these goodies!! I am a sucker for packaging and its so well put together. J'adore!

A-Derma Lipbalm is made of Rhealba Oat Milk. "With its intensive repair properties this balm nourishes and protects damaged lips and restores softness.

I use this once during the day and before I go to bed. My lips (and skin) tend to get dry during cold weather. I absolutely love this, I need to know where to buy it. I would get the husband one. Price 7,95

This is my first time trying Moroccan Oil. Moroccan Oil is made for all hair types. I love it!! Its really moisturizing and smells so nice. I'll be purchasing this when my sample runs out. Sizes vary and so does the price.

Alo is a beauty drink. This one had mango juice, aloe chunks and another ingredient. I forgot to translate so I dont know. :) It is so good!! Can't describe it, you have to try it for yourself. I will be purchasing again.

Misslyn Sweet Lips #12. Nice pink colour, I like how the cap twists and snaps so you know that its secure. I love lip glosses so this is an addition to my collection. Price 4,95

Kaloderma age balance, day cream. I only use this about once or twice a week. Nothing really to say about this. Its alright.

Wish I had the November box but it is what it is. I cant wait for the Christmas box. They are having an advent calendar prize drawing, so I'll enter those hopefully I'll win. ^_^
