the little things: a glossy box review. [and looovvvveeeeeee.]

so this is mildly overdue, but i finally have tried all products in my last glossybox...just in time to get my new one!


glossybox: may 2012


the amore pacific: moisture bound refreshing hydra-gel is the perfect lightweight moisturizer. a little bit goes a long way- perfect for a low maintenance routine.

burberry: lip misting natural sheer lipstick coper no. 202: i am not really a lipstick person- though the color is neutral enough for me, i [re]gifted it to my mom. she loved it.

the marvis: whitening toothpaste is definitely something i would use again. it wasn't overbearingly minty and my teeth felt clean after brushing- even the next morning. i am also not sure that i was able to see a difference in the color of my teeth with the small amount i had.

the phyto: intense hydrating mask was great.  my hair is really sensitive in the dry weather and it tends to dry out so easily. this hair mask only took a few minutes (2-5 to be exact) and kept my hair silky smooth.

i have never used this brand, but the zoya: nailpolish in "meg" was a really easy application. the color really wasn't me- again, my mom loved the fun green, so i put it in our "share" pile. it would be a great color for the toes with something subdued on the fingernails.

i promise the next one will be much more timely.


ALSO


i just wanted to wish one of my best friends bridget a very happy birthday! bridget and i met on the first day of freshman year at penn state, and the rest is well... history. [please note that this picture is circa 2009]





bridget: i hope you have a fabulous birthday. we will celebrate soon! maybe a frozen marg is in store?


loooovvvvvveeeee,

the first ever u.s. glossybox.

it finally came! for months, i have been watching bloggers in europe post pictures every month of their newest glossybox- the moment i saw it became [finally] available in the united states, i hopped onto their website and ordered one right away... honestly, it was probably within 2 minutes of receiving their notification email.  i could not be more excited.  having just got back home, i haven't had a chance to try any of the products yet, but will be sure to let you all know once i have.  i am already looking forward to next month!

the following products were inside:
1. amore pacific: moister bound refreshing hydra-gel
2. burberry beauty: lip misting natural sheer lipstick copper no. 202
3. marvis: marvis whitening toothpaste
4. phyto: intense hydrating mask
5. zoya: nailpolish in "meg"







what product would you try first?

as always, have a fabulous weekend!
