Glossybox - May 2013 - Celebration Box

May marks Glossybox's first anniversary in the US! As such, they have themed this month's box "Celebration Box", a box that includes treats that embrace their past and future (?), and a nod to NYC.

Here's what I got this month!

Sebastian Professional Volupt Spray - This is a volume- building spray gel. It is supposed to add volume while remaining soft. It can be used while blowdrying or air drying. I don't usually use products like this, but I will give it a try!

My Prime Multi-Purpose Mattifying Moisturizer - This is a moisturizer that has moisturizing and anti-aging benefits as well as acting as a primer. It has a matte finish. I find that it has a thicker consistency than I look for in a moisturizer, but it will be great as a primer!

European Wax Center The Exfoliate and Slow It Body Lotion - These are little sample packets. The exfoliate refines skin without abrasives, and the slow it lotion is designed to soften  hair  and decrease its growth. These are pretty blah to me, but I will use them.

etre belle Collagen & Aloe Vera Hydra Mask- This is a sheet mask with collagen and aloe vera! It promises to boost moisture and improve elasticity. I already tried this out last night and I love the way it made my skin feel! Though, as with all sheet masks, you look pretty creepy when you wear it!

Nicka K New York Absolute! Perfume Stick - This is a solid perfume stick in a line of fragrances that are inspired by New York City. I received Parc de 59, inspired by Central Park! It's a fresh green scent with notes of green tea and florals. It isn't my usual type of scent, but it actually smells really nice. I'm impressed with the level of fragrance for a solid perfume, too.

AmorePacific Color Control Cushion Compact - This is a really cool product - it moisturizes and has high SPF as well as having coverage. This is something I would have been really excited about, had it been in a wearable shade! Unfortunately, I received a shade far too dark and yellow for my pale skin.

As you can see, it's just not a match. However, I applied it and it feels nice! So while I won't be wearing this sample, there is a chance I'd buy it in an appropriate shade.

In all, I don't think this box is terrible by any means, but I just don't think it's very exciting. I would have expected a more exciting box for their anniversary! But the good news is, next month's box is a collaboration with Dallas Shaw, and it looks amazing.

What was in your Glossybox this month?

After readinging this short article, I had to comment on your section of Washington,
DC. I concur with all the activites and work opportunties, and so
on that the area has to provide. But I'd have to disagree that "there are somewhat more women than males in Washington, D.C., but approximately 33% in the populace is single." Somewhat is an understatement! There are Far more girls than males, about 7-8 ladies a lot more than guys. Taking into consideration the population's ethnic background, courting choices and sexualty,
these stats differ. Several social companies, meetups, and golf equipment host social and cultural occasions, which includes relationship events that
always are in require of far more men. And as a result of there be more males
than women, a lot of of them wish to carry on to
be single and appreciate the numerous one girls inside the
area rather than settling down to have a loved ones. I
invite you to take a online video camera to the streets
of DC and job interview the girls and see what type of feedback you get contradictory to
your stats.

An interesting discussion is definitely really worth
comment.
I think that you simply require to create
much more on this subject,
it may not be described as a taboo subject but typically people never discuss this kind of topics.

Towards the subsequent! Cheers!!
