Welcome back to another Glossybox post! I'm trying to throw some different posts in the mix, I'm sure you're tired of seeing only Glossybox products. I know I'm ready to get some fresh new content in the mix, so I'm working on it! Today we're talking April's Glossybox though, and I think it was a pretty great one! We had some extra products and a mystery bonus product this week to test out. You can continue reading this blog post to get an in depth review, OR hop on over to my YouTube channel and check out my FIRST unboxing! Would love to have you leave some love on that video and let me know what you think! So let's check out what I got!
This packaging is so cute to me! This bright aqua blue is so aesthetically pleasing to me! I really like getting these new facial products in Glossybox. Scrubs, masks, lotions - I really like receiving these because it's not a product that I tend to research or spend money on. I've been using the same two facial scrubs for the past 5 years - at least! So it's really nice to see these new products and technologies and brands that offer really great products that I may want to add into my skin routine. This little scrub is such a cool little dude! When I first used this scrub I was in the shower and focused it on my texture and acne problem areas, which is mostly my t-zone. It does have that scrub texture, like little beads, but these are exfoliating micro crystals as it says. And when it says micro, it means micro. These little crystals are so incredibly teeny tiny! But it feels so good on the skin and really makes my skin feel clean and smooth. It doesn't seem to over dry it, which most be the aloe that keeps your skin moisturized while using the cleanser. This is definitely a product that I would purchase, if it were in my price range! :P
Gilchrist & Soames BeeKind Shower Gel & Body Lotion - Available in 8 oz. & 15.5 oz. sets, $28.00 & $46.00 respectively.
This shower gel & body lotion smell great! I like that some of their proceeds go towards helping honey bees, because they are incredibly vital to our crops and of course the pollination of flowers. It is organic and cruelty free. The packaging is also recyclable, which is also really neat! Besides those things, these products don't have any special claims. They're just a body lotion and shower gel to me so I will use them up and that's that.
I had seen a few people post their unboxings on Instagram and when I saw them with this mascara I was STOKED! I am a mascara junkie and have been waiting to get some in a Glossybox! And I am so happy that this a good mascara! I have never heard of this brand and it really just came as this tube in our box. This mascara wand is made of fiber bristles instead of plastic or silicon bristles, so they really work as a brush for your lashes. It coats the lashes really well, making them thicker looking and nice and black. I love the long dramatic thick lashes - not spidery and clumpy - separated and full. The wand itself is pretty wide and can be a little more difficult to finagle around the inner corner or lower lash line. But overall, I really really enjoy this mascara and will continue using it. I definitely think it's one of those mascaras that will get better as it starts drying out a bit.
I'm not too into perfumes, my husband is fairly sensitive to them, so I don't wear them or purchase them often. But, besides the fact that I don't get use out of perfumes often, it's nice to get little sample sizes like this that I can throw in a purse or bag for on the go use. So when I'm out with my girlfriends or shopping around I can be sure that I'm smelling lovely out in public. I really enjoy this scent, even though I prefer muskier, spicy scents. The floral notes of this perfume aren't overpowering and artificial. It is a nice subtle, clean floral/fruity scent that doesn't offend my nose. Here is the perfume notes description from the site: "notes of juicy Mara strawberries," "rose petal macaron," "bottom notes of creamy silky woods."
I knew that these two little guys would be in our April box from the sneak peak from March's info sheet. I own and have used several different Colourpop products so I was excited to get TWO full size lip products from them! Now with this formula, it can either be spot on and matte, comfortable, and transfer proof. Or it is super drying, peeling, and flakes off. These two colors in particular have really great formula. It's thin and liquid-y, which is what makes it dry down smooth and matte and comfortable. Colourpop products are really pigmented, great quality, and an awesome price point! I was really pleased with the shades that I received too! The top shade in the photos above is Teeny Tiny and the bottom shade is Monday. I was really nervous that one of these was going to be a hot pink color. No thanks! Super happy with this product and will most definitely get a lot of use out of these! Colourpop is made in LA and a cruelty free brand.
So Glossybox threw something new in our box this month and included a mystery product that we didn't have any info on or anything! They simply packaged it in this simple, incognito packaging called it "Beauty Shampoo" and let us test out this new product before it was available in stores. I was SUPER confused when I opened the box. I was trying to figure out what was going on because they seriously threw a curveball at me! Haha! When I first smelled this shampoo/conditioner though it immediately made me think of Head & Shoulders, but because it was so floral-y scented I wasn't too sure. So I used, and I currently have color treated hair, and I wasn't the biggest fan. My husband noticed that the scent lingered in my hair the next day. I just didn't like how it left my hair feeling after I got out of the shower. My hair didn't feel anymore moisturized or soft. It felt a little more brittle, especially on the bleached part of my hair. So I will most likely pass this on to my sister-in-law who doesn't have color treated hair and see how she like it!
AND THAT COMPLETES APRIL'S BOX! I was really pleased with this box, like extremely pleased. I absolutely LOVED that there were TWO full sized lip products, I am loving this microdermabrasion exfoliater, and getting a mascara in my box made my day! So I'm rating this box a 9 out of 10. This was a fun one for me! Let me know which products you would have liked out of this box the most!
