Glossy Box unboxing~April box


I have to admit, this is the coolest "box" that I've received so far from Glossy Box. The art work and the cosmetic bag comes from ThuFri.com, a high end fashion hand bag website out of L.A. The make-up bag also came with a gift card to the ThuFri.com website with a discount code to apply during checkout. FYI: my code is for 50% off.
Considering the price of the hand bags and totes, I'd estimate this cosmetic bag to be about $20.00 or more. Also this month's Glossy box reminds me so much of an Ipsy bag. There's many products that I'm not so thrilled about, and I hope they don't continue this way.

Here's what I got:
Marrackesh split end mender~ Full size $5.99 for 1 oz.~Not a super, fantastic product or high end. Highly fragranced. Too much for my liking.

Aerin "Waterlily Sun" fragrance~O.k., so I don't like most perfumes. This one is a light clean fragrance-one I would not wear, but I've decided to spray it in my lingerie drawers. The size is a mere .3 oz. The full size product is 1.7 oz. at a whopping $110.00.

Estee Lauder Enlighten dark spot correcting night serum~ Finally, a skin care product! This little sample size is probably not enough product for me to really see a difference in my skin, but I'm trying it. Nice consistency, no over-powering fragrance, or harshness. Full size: $62.00

Obsessive Compulisve Cosmetics Stained Gloss: Don't like the color; this will probably end up in a giveaway. I got the full size- $18.00

And last, but certainly not least, the Julep gel eye glider pencil in bronze shimmer. I already have a number of these gel eye liners. They're great. And water-proof. Once applied, they won't budge. Retail price: $16.00
Overall, you do get a lot for the money ($21.00 monthly), but like I said, I'm not crazy about all the products this month. Hopefully I'll get more skin and body products next month. You know, they do have a customer profile and questionare. Hopefully they'll follow it. (One of the reasons why I quit getting Ipsy bags.)

I tried some new snacks in this months box, so get ready for some chocolate! ~dutch cocoa sun-crunch These are cocoa flavored sunflower and sesame seed clusters. Medium strength taste wise on the chocolate, but I love the saltiness of the sun-crunch itself. 6 grams of protein per serving; that's pretty good too! ~dark cocoa almonds~ If you like dark chocolate, you'll love these! 4 grams of protein on these per serving. ~dark chocolate berry trail mix Out of the other trail mixes that I've tried from Naturebox , this one is my favorite. It's a good mix of dried fruits and nuts, including cranberries and cherries, cashews and pistachios, plus tiny chips of dark chocolate that gives it that flavor punch. 4 grams of protein ~flax fortune coins~ Taste just like flattened fortune cookies with the added benefit of flax seeds. Flax seeds are full of omega-3's, and are said to be good for helping reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes...

Post July 4th workout and update

Image
I took off a week from running since my legs were hurting everyday, all day. So it was a bit challenging to start back up this week. I'm so greatful for the cooler mornings that we've been having. Today: 1.77 miles Weight: let's not talk about it; I'm on a see-saw right now. Eating fairly well. Staying away from sweets. Bought a new swimsuit yesterday, so can start swimming when it is too hot to run or walk. Not your traditional swimwear; I wanted something to exercise and do laps in. It's more for cross-training. More to come..... To read my previous post. go here .

Well! I'm feeling a little happy today! I made some earrings for the gallery and took them there. I have to admit; I almost don't feel like my current work is not "good enough" to be in this shop. What beautiful paintings, artisan made pottery, wall hangings, glass! You can find it here: http://www.paintedfishgallery.com Then I went and picked up my check from working last week. Came home to find 3 sales on my ETSY supply shop and 2 sales in my ETSY jewelry shop! Yeah! Now here's something for you. I'm having another giveaway.
