Glossybox December 2014 Review

My December Glossybox finally arrived.This is one of my most favorite subscriptions and I have gotten to know some great brands and products because of it. The Glossybox subscription is $21.00 if you do the month-to-month option. You can save some money if you choose to prepay for 6 months or a year.  You can get your own box here.

Here is my box for December 2014.

Packaging is always great with Glossybox. It's as if I got a real present from someone every month. This month's packaging theme was Christmas. 

Here is the inside of the box: 

Ciate mini glitter nail polish ($8.00 )

I really like this nail polish brand and this is the perfect season for some sparkle in your nails. I'm looking forward to testing it. 

Toni & Guy Leave In Conditioner 3.3 fl oz - full size ($9.19)

This conditioner addresses my hair issue - frizz control. I can't wait to test it. I have not heard of this brand before. There are so many hair products out there and I'm always a little overwhelmed when it comes to choosing just one. 

Bellapiere Cosmetics Mineral Lipstick in Burlesque - full size ($19.99)

I really like BellaPiere and I love this shade of the lipstick. It's perfect for a night out. I have a lot of everyday shades of lipsticks but needed something special and this is just great. 

Nuxe Masque Creme 50ml - full size ($32.00)

I'm really excited to try this mask. My skin is always so dry in winter and I always need products that work well. Hopefully this works. 

Rituals Cosmetics Miracle Scrub 2.5 fl oz - full size ($17.00)

Another amazing product for winter problems. It smells really great and promises to soften your skin with ginkgo biloba. 

This was an amazing box. I really loved everything and I thought I got a great deal for the $21.00 I paid. The value of the box came up to $86.00.

Bijoux Box Black Friday Grab Bag

This is my first experience with Bijoux Box. I'm actually not a subscriber yet, although I have been thinking of signing up for their monthly jewelry delivery. I really liked the statement necklaces I have seen featured in blogs and on Instagram. Before I commit to the subscription I wanted to check the quality of the pieces and Black Friday Grab Bag was the best way to do it. The Grab Bag was $25.00 and I got 5 randomly picked pieces.


This is what I got: 

I really like the purple stretch bracelet and the honeycomb earrings. The statement necklace is light, which is good because I was worried it would be too heavy judging by the look of it. I'm not sure if I can pull off the colors but I'll give it a try. I think it will have to wait until Spring/Summer. The chain pendant necklace will be nice to wear with sweaters and I think the black bracelet will look good with it too. I think this convinced me to try the Bijoux Box subscription. 

Nadine West December 2014

I really look forward to Nadine West deliveries every month. It's a very unique way to shop and a slightly different subscription service than most of the services out there. This is my third Nadine West package. What I really like about Nadine West is that there is no upfront cost for you to get the box. Each month you get one top and two pieces of jewelry. You can try it on and see what you'd like to keep. You keep what you like and send the rest back in the same envelope with the return label created.

Here are the items I received this month.

Aztec Stripes Cardi

 Cost to keep $23.49

Still debating but thinking of Returning

This cardi is very nice and the Aztec sleeves give it a unique look. I like how it drapes in front. However, I recently went on an Aztec binge and have too many pieces with this theme. I think I might be returning this one. Just can't justifying yet another Aztec pint in my wardrobe.

Once Upon a Chain Necklace
Cost to keep $24.99
Returning
I just don't wear chains like this. It's just not my style.

My Little Pretties Purple Studs
Cost to keep $9.99
Keeping
These are really cute to wear every day for work. They have a purple in the middle, which did not photograph well.

Final verdict: Not the best month for me. I will be keeping only the earrings. Looking forward to next month. 

Boodlebox January 2015

My daughter was really excited to get her January Boodlebox today. The Boodlebox subscription is $19.00 if you subscibe for at least 3 months or $24.99 if you just get one month. I signed up for the whole year to get the one month free.

This month's theme is the New Year

Jungle Beat Diary  ($9.00) - It's a cute diary with a lock and key. There is never enough of these in my house. 

Glitter Gel Pen Set ($9.49) - These go great with the diary and I'm sure will be used a lot. My daughter got a bunch of glitter pens for Christmas, but you can never have enough colored gen pens. 

Ciate Caviar Nail Pearls Mini ($8.00) -My daughter is all about nail art nowadays and keeps looking for interesting nail designs online. I'm sure they will use these fun glitter pearls and create some interesting nail designs.

Glitter No-slip Double Headband ($9.00 ) - This is really cute glitter headband. It's really cool that it's adjustable and can fit many head sizes. 

Dazzling Diamond Pocket Bac & Holder ($5.25) - Enough said, you can never have too many of these. My daughter loves the ones from Bath and Body Works too and has a large collection of them. 

Glam Metallic Temporary Tatoos ($12.00) - These are fun and really fit the theme. 

The total value of the box is about $54. Not the best value I have seen lately, but I spent only $20 on it, so I definitely got my money's worth.  My daughter is already anticipating the next Boodlebox delivery.
