New year, new you, right? The New Year is always a great time to start fresh, take on new hobbies, and start tackling those healthy changes. Glossyboxes January box was dedicated to starting fresh and clean! So let's take a look at what was in last month's Glossybox!
So this is what each month's Glossybox will be packaged like, pink box, pink tissue paper, black crinkle stuffing and black ribbon. Each box has a different theme or idea in mind. This month was about starting the new year off fresh and anew! I'm not sure if it was intentional, but I loved that all of the items packaging looked cohesive!
In this month's box, four out of the five products were skin/hair care products and at first I was kind of bummed. When I started actually looking at what the products were and testing them out, I was pleasantly surprised! Then I started thinking about the products I tend to buy myself, and I hardly ever go out of my normal skin/hair care products. So it was nice to have some new products to use and enjoy.
I was actually pretty excited to see this body scrubber in my box this month! You can get this from Ulta and it only costs $5, so it's actually something I might purchase in the future! There are two different sides to this scrubber, a gentle and coarse side for different skin types. I used the gentler side on my face to help exfoliate a little better with my facial scrub. The coarse side I used on my arms and legs. This was actually really helpful after getting back from Mexico because I could get that peeling skin off better! Haha! Also, there's a little tag on the scrubber that helps you figure out when to replace your sponge because the green ink dissolves in water! Super cool in my opinion!
Before each month, Glossybox gives you a little sneak peek into the next box so I knew this item was going to be in the January box. I will have to say I wasn't too excited about it. I'm not one who is too worried about dark circles and puffiness. Don't get me wrong, I definitely have problems with dark circles, but I don't really give much thought to it because hello, concealer! It suggests using it in the morning, but I like using it at night before bed when I'm moisturizing. I don't know if it makes a huge difference, but I definitely like how it feels! So I'll keep using this, and with the amount that's in this it will last me a little while!
This was another product that I wasn't too wowed with at first. Last month I got a liquid highlighter and this month I got a cream blush/lip duo stick. I'm not much of a liquid or cream makeup product person. Sometimes they can be finnicky and messy and just a big hassle to deal with. Anyways, I haven't gotten much use out of that liquid highlighter, but I was surprised with this cream blush! Instead of using it directly on the skin, I applied it to the back of my hand and then picked it up on my makeup brush and blended it into my skin. It gave such a beautiful, natural flush, especially because of the cream consistency. The peachy, golden sheen gave some great color to my skin, too! I want to keep using this in my makeup routine throughout the spring and summer.
If you haven't already realized, I was more impressed with January's box than I anticipated. And picking a favorite product is nearly impossible. This is tied with the next product I'll introduce. I have not heard of AG Hair Care before, but it might become a brand I am going to have to invest in. Their products are created with over 95% of ingredients being bio or photo degradable and many ingredients are naturally derived and organic. They also refrain from testing on animals and seem to be an overall eco-friendly brand. This 2oz sample is great, I've already washed my hair 3 times and probably have another 3 uses. And I have thick hair! It smells amazing and cleans my hair and leaves it soft, shiny, and smooth! This is a product I would definitely repurchase maybe once a year and use it to mix up my shampooing routine. It is a special formula that doesn't require conditioning afterwards, and anything that reduces my time I spend on my hair is a plus!
So this is the product tied with the hair cleanser as my favorite. (Except I would probably choose the hair product as my number one, since this full size is so expensive!) I think this is like the "luxury" item in my box for the month. This 1oz tube is the full size product and retails for $32! But the product smells SO wonderful, and it makes your skin feel so good! And the process is so fun! This exfoliating volcanic mask is light pink when applied and has little grains that help exfoliate the skin. I leave the mask on for about 3-5 minutes and then start rubbing it in with my fingers all over my face. Once you start rubbing the mask and exfoliating it turns gray, which is so fun to watch! After exfoliating you wash it off, and you're left with soft, glowing skin! Again, this product is pretty eco-friendly: vegan, cruelty free, 90% natural ingredients, and free of pthalates and parabens. But I would really love to have this scent in a candle, so amazing!
