GlossyBox October 2020

Hello Lovelies! I have a fun—and possibly my favorite—beauty subscription box to share with you today. Not only is Glossybox beautifully packaged, it contains amazing products that truly feels like a little treat each time I open the box. 

 

What it Glossybox? Glossybox is a monthly beauty box that contains 5 deluxe-sized (occasionally full-sized) beauty products that can include makeup, skincare, haircare, and more.

 

Price: $21 a month (plus tax, if applicable) shipping included for the US, shipping to Canada is $5

How is it packaged? Each month Glossybox arrives in a sturdy outer shipping container. Inside, you’ll find a lovely box (sometimes themed) that is not only sturdy but reusable. Inside the Glossybox you’ll find your products nestled on a bed of shredded paper packaging and wrapped in tissue paper that’s tied with a ribbon. Honestly, this is one of the most beautifully wrapped subscription boxes that I’ve ever had the pleasure of unboxing.

 

Is a product card included? Yes, each box comes with a little booklet that contains prices and tells you about each product.

October’s Theme: Glossy Fairytale. There were two boxes this month: Midnight Fantasy, which is a lovely dark blue and gold box that has a lovely nocturnal motif, and Enchanted Spirit, which is a lovely lavender and gold box that a lovely diurnal motif.

 

Here’s what I received in the Midnight Fantasy Box

-Ciaté Extraordinary Translucent Powder (deluxe mini, $18.98)—at 7 grams, this is a massive container of setting powder. While I do have a full size of this setting powder, it’s one of my favorites so I’m happy getting a deluxe mini.

-The Beauty Crop Stargazing Blush Duo in Orion Glow (full size, $23)—this is a gorgeous blusher duo that contains a matte and a shimmer. The formula is pigmented and applies smoothly.

-Earth Harbor Aurora Superfood Luminance Ampoule (full size, $32)—full of sea greens, cannabis sativa hemp oil, and grapeseed oil this serum will soothe and repair skin. I’ve been debating on buying this serum for a few months so I’m exceedingly happy to see this in my box this month.

-Ona New York Spolight Radiant Glow Gel Mask (full, $9)—I never say no to getting a sheet mask and I’m very excited to try this one with its plant-based formula. 

-Mane Club Bad Attitude and Cry Baby Conditioning Hair Mask (full size, $3.99 each)—I do like a deep, conditioning hair mask so I’m eager to give these a try.

 

My thoughts on the Midnight Fantasy box. This was a great box. The value’s definitely there for the money and the value’s there in the products that I’ll use. Several of these products are products that I’ve been wanting to try or need to replace (serum, blush, setting powder) and I never say no to face or hair masks.

 

Total MSRP Value of the Enchanted Spirit Box $90.96

 

Here’s what I received in the Midnight Fantasy Box

-Ciaté Extraordinary Translucent Powder (deluxe mini, $18.98)

-The Beauty Crop Stargazing Blush Duo in Orion Glow (full size $23)

-Earth Harbor Aurora Superfood Luminance Ampoule (full size, $32)

-Generation Clay Ultra-Violet Brightening Purple Clay Mask (deluxe mini, $14.44)—at 50 ml, this is nearly as big as the full size. This is one of my favorite clay masks—it’s probably one I reach for the most—so I’m glad I’ll have a tube for my upstairs bathroom.

-Tree Hut Sugar Lips Lip Scrub in Brown Sugar (Full size, $5.99)—I’m always a fan of getting lip scrubs in subscription boxes because they’re an item I just don’t purchase, so this is great because I’m running out of my current one.

 

My thoughts on the Enchanted Spirit box. Again, this was another great box and the value was definitely there. Yes, the first three products were duplicate products but I don’t mind duplicates of things that I will use or things I know a friend or family member will use.

 

Total MSRP Value of the Enchanted Spirit Box: $94.41

 

My Overall Thoughts: I simply adore these boxes. Not only were they filled with amazing items that I know I will use, the sizes of the deluxe minis they included were massive. The value was there in both boxes both in the MSRP totals as well as in the products that I’ll use.

 

Another plus with this subscription is the boxes they come in are reusable. They’re perfect for storing things in and make wonderful gift boxes. The boxes themselves are also protected by an outer shipping box, which I love because that reduces the chance the items will be damaged and it saves the reusable box from being dinged up.

 

The Holidays are right around the corner and this box would make the perfect gift. Each month it would be like a little treat delivered straight to them. This would also be the perfect way to treat yourself, with the year we’ve had, we definitely deserve a treat.

 

Using my code: ANGELA-R2BA or clicking HERE will save you 20%, meaning a year’s subscription will cost $183.40 instead of the regular price of $210.00

 

Give the gift of Glossybox. I promise they’ll thank you for it!!!!!
