Well it's time to sum up the last boxes of 2012, hope you enjoy!
My November Birchbox was missing some of the items it was
supposed to contain (they gave me 100 Birchbox points to make up for it) but my
December one was pretty cool. It contained Klorane Dry Shampoo (can never have
enough dry shampoo), Benefit It’s Potent eye cream (pretty good but isn’t good
enough to replace my Mario Badescu eye cream), Harvey Prince Hello perfume
(actually pretty good stuff, contemplating purchasing), the Balm Hot Mama eyeshadow and blush in one (not super into this), FLO fragrance atomizer (super
cool-you pour a little bit of perfume into it and can take it with you on your
travels so you don’t have to worry about cracking your glass bottles- which I’ve
done recently), and a $50 gift card for Rent the Runway which I will probably
never get around to using. Overall a really great box, I like more than half of
it and the total value was $37.80 for a box that costs $10 each.
This box was filled with snacks, my favorite! I think I
ended up liking every single item in this box. My favorite item was the
American Vintage Wine Biscuits that I ate with cheese while sipping wine. The
pumpkin spice tea was also an amazing pick me up at work when it was really cold
(for Texas). They also threw in a canvas tote for grocery shopping. Still loving the crap outta this $7 box!
Another big winner full of tasty snacks! I could not get
enough of the apple chips, veggie crisps, and cinnamon sugar popcorn. I’ve had
the sun cups before and they’re still delish. All around cannot complain about
the massive yumminess of this subscription box!
I am officially discontinuing this subscription after this
month because I don’t need two beauty subscriptions and I love the Birchbox way
more. This month had a big winner in the Balm Meet Matt(e) eye shadow. I use it as a soft eyeliner when I'm not using liquid.
December Glossy Box
Glossy Box had a really great sale on their December box so
I bought it and then cancelled the subscription. I got a couple of nice items,
I really like the Forest Essentials Luxurious Ayurveda Bath and Shower Oil
because it makes my winter skin feel super hydrated. The Zoya nail polish was
lovely, but I already have an identical one in my collection (isn’t that always
the way?). This box contained a lot of products and very healthy sizes. It
would be a nice one to try out for a while, but I’m trying to cut back on my
subscriptions.
Let me know if you've tried any awesome boxes lately!
