Like I mentioned in my first original post, I've ordered several of these boxes.
I'll narrow it down to one...or two. Eventually. I'm just not sure which one I like best, yet. I suppose I need to narrow it down to which one has the products I use personally. Rather than giving them away so often. Maybe you can help me decide.
My first share, is the Ipsy (box #2)
I really liked the June Ipsy box, On The Wild Side. The bag is cute, although I have so many I gave this to my sister. The blush by NYX works nicely with my skin tone, so I'm loving that. The lip pencil was a bit too bold for me, my sister can carry that off better. I always like a brow lightener stick, this one is nice. I'm also in-like with the Cailyn eye liner, perfection! The Sparkling Cream is way too young for my taste. I think this is better used as a fun night with the girls, or just playing around.
This box could be a monthly keeper.
Next up, Glossy Box (1st box)
My June Glossy Box was so exciting to receive! I have a 3-month subscription to this. The packaging was lovely of course, the contents, so-so for me personally. I'm not a big perfume gal, so the many samples were not something I enjoyed. Not a fan of Oscar de la Renta perfumes anyway. I haven't tested the Philip B. deep conditioning creme rinse yet, but it is promising glossy radiant hair, I'm hoping it delivers. The dark purplish nail polish looks nice, but that can wait for cooler weather. The Tarte complexion enhancing lip stick...the product I like, the color was decent. Nicely moisturizing. The C. Booth honey/almond nourishing dry oil mist is a tough one for me to get used to. One mist and I hit my chin, trying again, I have it on my forehead, by the third mist I have a greasy looking complexion. I'll have to practice or pass it on.
Here we are with Beauty Box 5 (#2)
That Shaeterra Organics for the face, is something I'm liking. Rose hips black soap, who knew! Just Being Sexy, oh yeah that's me, but ~ I'm terrible with bronzers for the body, afraid of any streaking. Lil'sis got that too :) I'm looking forward to trying the CoolWay cleanse and hydrate shampoo and conditioner. They know me too well with my hair! Now, this is interesting...I clean my makeup brushes once a week, at least, sometimes 2-3 times. I don't think I would even have the patience or thought, to use that nice little brush hanger they sent. Odd.
Which leaves us with Julep (2nd official)
I think I will be ending my subscription with Julep. I'm not liking their nail polish. The colors are definitely fun, but each one I've tried, badly stains my nails. I don't have the patience to put on a base, dry, put on 2-3 coats, dry, then a top coat. I like the 1-2 coats, my quick dry Sally Hansen, and be done! The Beach Tonic, another dry oil, smelled delicious! Only problem, it became too strong as I test-wore it, for me to be able to use. Bummer. I like it. Lil'sis wins again!
Well that's that! I do believe I receive five (5) boxes. Now I'll be narrowing it down to 4, with the elimination of Julep. I received my Birch Box #2 yesterday, but I didn't open it to post for today. That's a bit too much at once, I'd say. I'm not even sure you, my fellow bloggers, are even interested in seeing these boxes posted. I must say, after seeing one on another blog, I got hooked, and here I am!
Happy Friday!
Have you purchased any boxes lately?
