Glossybox Review - Feburary 2014 & Coupon Code

Glossybox February 2014

I got super excited when I went to get my mail the other day and saw my Glossybox waiting for me on my porch. Especially considering I didn't know it was going to be here (I never got a shipping notification so surprise!).

Glossybox is a monthly subscription that sends out full size and deluxe beauty and makeup items. It's only $21 a month but they also have 3-month, 6-month, or an annual subscription you can try out as well.

This month's theme was the month of love.

The information card.


     I love this nail polish! I wish it had come before Valentine's Day but the pale shade will still be perfect for spring. As an added bonus, this polish is also 5-free, cruelty free, and vegan friendly.


     I am extremely excited to try these out. I'm definitely a night owl but still have to get up early sometimes so hopefully these will work. They're supposed to moisturize, nourish and hydrate underneath your eyes so you feel rejuvenated. My fingers are crossed.


Pureology Colour Fanatic Hair Treatment Spray (Value - $3.58 - Sample Size)
    This is a multi-tasking hair treatment spray that provides 21 different ways to protect, prime, and perfect color-treated hair and it says it has 100% vegan ingredients. My hair's not colored at the moment but I've thinking about dying it for a few months now, so I'll put this to the side until I need it.


Skin&Co Roma Truffle Therapy Serum (Value - $12.75 - Sample Size)
     This anti-aging serum is supposed to hydrate your skin with the help of truffle extracts and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. It's also free of parabens, sulfates, and mineral oils. Unfortunately for me, I'm quite young and don't really need to use serums so I'll add this to my give away pile.


Sumita Beauty Kala Color Intense Pencil (Value - $15 - FULL SIZE)
     I truly love eyeliner. It's one of those things that when I put it on it instantly makes me feel better and prettier and more confident. It's an intense black that makes your eyes pop, goes on smooth and lasts all day. Basically, I love it.

In the end, I ended up with total value of $60.62 for the February box. Not bad considering the subscription is only $21 a month. Luckily for me, I subscribed while they were having a promotion during the summer for 15% off so I only pay $17.85 a month for mine. If you want to sign up or get some more details you can click here

Also, if you decide to sign up for Glossybox use the promo code "GBFRESH" and you'll get a FREE Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream (which I got to try in a previous box and is my go to face moisturizer at the moment.).

New Year, New Me

So... I've tried blogging before. The writing kind. I have a bit of tendency to not be consistent with updates but like the title of this blog post says, "New Year, New Me." I really want to stick with this. I'm hoping that this blog will serve as an outlet for everything I want to say and maybe am scared of saying to the people around me. My hopes, my dreams, my fears. Or perhaps it will just allow me to get all the random stuff out of my brain.

So be prepared to read about the random things that happen on a day to day basis in my life, my favorite television shows and movies, reviews of my favorite beauty products and my subscription boxes (currently I subscribe to Glossybox and Julep). I'm sure it will be a nice hodgepodge of things.

All I know is, it'll be an adventure.
