December Glossybox: Glamour All The Way

Today I was so excited to find my Glossybox in the mail. According to their tracking number, it still wasn't even close to where I live, but their tracking number is always way off.


For those of you who don't know what Glossybox is, it's a beauty sample subscription box service. Every month, you get samples from a variety of different companies that include products for skincare, hair care, perfumes, etc. If you would like to check it out or join, you can click HERE

Anyway, back to the Awesomeness  that is December's GlossyBox. This box's theme was Glamour,  Glitz, and Gloss.


I believe December was my favorite Glossybox that I have received so far.

 The Christmas themed tissue paper with the red ribbon was very cute and a nice touch for the holidays.

These were all of the products that came inside. It included :

- .03 fl. oz sample of Ecru New York Cosmetic Hair Care- Acacia Protein Oil 

- 3.38 fl oz  sample of Forest Essentials Luxurious Ayurveda: Madurai Jasmine & Mogra Bath and Shower Oil

- 5.5 oz sample of Heartland Fragrance Co. - Bath Salts

- .75 oz sample of Oscar Blandi- Pronto Dry Heat Protect Spray

-.03 fl oz sample of Pleats Please Perfume by Issey Miyake

-Full Bottle of Zoya's Storm nail polish

- A beautiful, long necklace from Jewelmint called the Opera Pearl Necklace

I'm the most excited for the necklace because it is so beautiful. Even my mom loved it.

Here is a picture of it:

I'm also excited about Zoya's Storm nail polish because I've been wanting a dark glittery nail polish. I was even looking into Julep's Patti, but I didn't really like the swatches, so I was excited to find this color in my box. It was exactly what I was looking for,  black but with colorful glitters.

Because I've been on a relaxing, long bath type of mood lately, I also can't wait to try the bath oils and bath salts.

All in all, this box is amazing and I think I will use every product, except for the perfume because it is a little but too strong for me.

3 Favorite Beauty Products at the Moment: Hair, Face & Skin

Lately, I have been frequently using 3 different products

One of these products is Julep's Elixir (Organic Moroccan Oil). 

Although it can be used for your skin & cuticles, I've mostly just used it on my hair. My hair is usually very frizzy and quite frankly, a hot mess. In my June Julep Mystery box, I received the Elixir. I was really excited to use it because I had read some good reviews.
Ever since I received it, I've been putting a bit of it on my hair after I shower. Since I started using it, my hair has become much more manageable and less frizzy.  Before the oil, I wouldn't even let my hair air dry because it would be so unruly, but now I do it all the time and it looks great. I have even received compliments from my boyfriend who has noticed a difference in my hair. 

The other product that I have been using is Mark's Touch & Glow Shimmer Cream Cubes All Over Face Palette. 

This is perfect as a bronzer for a shimmery summer glow. The mix of the bronze, golds and pinks gives my skin a healthy, brilliant glow that I love for these summer months.


I have also been using it as eye shadows because I love the colors so much.



The third product that I currently love is First Aid Beauty Smooth Shaving Cream.

I received a sample of this shaving cream with last month's glossybox.
It's one of the best shaving creams I have used. It makes my legs super smooth and doesn't irritate my skin. I liked the sample so much, that I want to go buy a regular size bottle now.

Purple Bling

I have a formal company party this weekend. This is a fun annual event that allows everyone in the company to get together and celebrate their hard work for the year.

I have my dress, shoes and today, my nails are ready as well.

I needed a polish to match my cute purple dress.

I decided on Julep's Morgan, which I got in my June subscription box.

However, my dress not only is purple, but it also has a one shoulder strap with a bit of bling, bling on it, so I needed something sparkly on my nails as well.

I decided to put on Julep's Mila, which came in my July box.

This manicure looks perfect with my dress.

After I had put on my topcoat and finished drying, I put on Shea Terra Organics Mango whipped shea butter on my hands to moisturize them.

I got this sample with my July Glossybox and it is great. This Shea Butter has vitamins A & E and it makes my hands super smooth.
