September 2014 Glossybox Review

Glossybox is a beauty subscription service that sends subscribers a monthly box with ~five deluxe-sized beauty products.  The box itself retails for $21 per month, but you can subscribe to a plan that bills you every three, six, or twelve months, which brings the monthly cost down to $20, $19.17, or $18.33, respectively.  They provide the best presentation I have seen in a monthly subscription service with high-quality brands bundled in a a sturdy box!

For the September Glossybox, the company partnered with the editors of premier fashion magazine Harper's BAZAAR to fill the box with everything you need for a "minimalistic, chic fall look".

Essie She's Pampered, Value: $8.50 [Full-size]
This was actually my first Essie polish. It applied easily and had good coverage at only one coat. I used it as a base for A Snogging Booth? in my review of Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer's Doctor Who collection. It did stain my nails a little bit after removal, but that's typical for a red polish.

Benefit Cosmetics They're Real Mascara, $7.67 [$23.00 for 0.3 oz; sample: 0.1 oz]
I have heard good things about this mascara, but I already have too many tubes open, so I decided not to test this one right now.

Bvlgari Parfumee Au The Vert Conditioner, ? [$45.00 for 6.76 oz]
When I first saw this, I was initially disappointed that it was only hair conditioner without an accompanying shampoo. The consistency was kind of thin for a conditioner, and I've definitely tried others that are more moisturizing. The smell was a bit too cologney for me, but it was definitely long-lasting. When I took my hair down after a day of work, I could still smell the fragrance.

Vichy Liftactiv Night, $15.09 [$50.00 for 1.69 oz; sample: 0.51 oz]
This thick, rich cream was lightly scented and it absorbed easily into the skin. Although it's a relatively small bottle, it seems like a little goes a long way and it will last a while.

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar: Matte in Black Dahlia, $18.00 [Full-size]
Described as the blackest blackened red, I just found this color to be too dark for me. It also rubbed off as soon as I began eating dinner. I will try it out again with more careful application - and if nothing else, maybe it would be good for Halloween, LOL??? I would definitely recommend exfoliating your lips first.

Total Value: >$49.26
