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.

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. 

Boxycharm August 2014

This is my second month with Boxycharm and I like getting great quality makeup from them.
This month's box was really great. Similarly to Glossybox, Boxycharm subscription is $21.00 per month and so far it has been totally worth it for me. You can get your own Boxycharm subscription here.

My August box looked like this.

I love, love, love this box. 

One of the items I was really excited for was the Morphe Powder Brush ($19.00)

I have been looking for a good makeup brush but wasn't sure which one to get so this box solved my problem. The brush is so soft and it's perfect for my Stila Finishing Powder. I have been using it every day and I absolutely love it. 

Tarina Tarantino Lip Sheen ($22.00) I have never used much lipstick but this summer I have been experimenting with various colors. This Tarina Tarantino lipstick looks so luxurious! The packaging itself was very fancy and the lipstick packaging is quite. The color I got was Showroom, which was not what I would have picked for myself, but I'm going to keep it because I like how natural it looks on me. Overall I really like this product and I'm happy I got to try it as I would have never bought it for myself 

Model Co Cheek and Lip tint full size ($22.00)

This is a nice, versatile product. I used it on my lips and it made them look naturally red and I really liked it. I am curious how it works for cheeks. I'll try that next time. 

I was really excited to see the Enter Pronoun Bronzer ($35.00) in the box. I'm running out of my bronzer, so the timing for a new one was perfect. At first I thought that the shade was going to be to dark, but it was actually really nice. 

Last item was the Ofra Lipliner ($13.00)  in a shade called Silk. I do not use lip liners much, so it will be passed on to someone else. 

This was a really great box. I liked everything a lot, except the lip liner. The total value of the box $98.00

I paid only $21.00, so I feel like I hit a jackpot with this one.
