Not going to lie, this was an awesome month to have been subscribed to GLOSSYBOX. Not only could you receive this month’s Happy Holidays Box with all sorts of goodies, but if you purchased the Special Limited Edition box, which I shared about here, you could have had double the treats from GLOSSYBOX.
I indeed did both (Santa brought me the limited edition box) and had two GLOSSYBOX packages in less then two weeks delivered to me and definitely felt like Santa was extra good to me for sure this past month.
The Happy Holidays GLOSSYBOX though was nothing short of amazing even if you didn’t indeed do the extra limited edition box.
So, if you are thinking of subscribing to GLOSSYBOX anytime soon, here are five reasons below that may just tempt you more then ever!
-
Anatomicals ~ You Need a Blooming Shower
Featuring a soothing mix of aloe vera and witch hazel and rose and jasmine scents, this relaxing shower gel leaves the skin feeling cleansed and refreshed.
This shower gel smells amazing and must admit did relax me when I used it for the first time. Here you you get half the size from the original, but still does go a long way.
Full size $5.50 / 10 FL OZ

Ardency Inn ~ Punker World’s Baddest Eyeliner
A rock-star liquid liner that makes it easy to draw any shape of a cat eye precisely and instantly, from the most subtle to the most dramatic.
I originally loved the Bombshell Onyx Eyeliner that was in the September GLOSSYBOX, but I think this one has replaced it in my favorites for eyeliner, plus the Bombshell one totally dried out recently for no reason and when I complained to the company they gave me the run around. But the Ardency Inn Eyeliner give a totally precise thin line that stays all day long and truly accentuates the eyes. And has become a close favorite in this box for me this month. Still a sample size though and my only complaint is that I wish it were the full size, because I am loving it and want more now.
Full Size $19.00 / .085 OZ
-
Michael Todd True Organics ~ Pumpkin Mask
This mask contains pumpkin enzyme and glycolic acid that dissolves impurities like dead skin and clogged pores, which significantly improves the appearance of fines lines and wrinkles, even after a single use!. Not suitable for sensitive skin types.
I know many here know how much I love the pumpkin smell and flavor and was truly psyched to try this mask even though I am not a big fan of facial masks. Again, didn’t disappoint and the scent was to die for! But still only sample size, of course.
Full Size $34.00 / 3.4 FL OZ
-
Nails Inc. ~ Victoria Polish
Nails Inc. polishes are professionally formulated for a long lasting, super glossy, flawless finish. This deep cherry red shade is a great way to add a dash of chic to your holiday look.
I used this shade for my Christmas manicure and couldn’t resist using it again for New Year’s too. Awesome red, but also a dark and deep enough red that it can be used throughout the winter now, too. And reminds me of Chanel’s Vamp shade that I fell in love with over 10 years ago and definitely not as costly. So, I honestly think this one is my favorite in this box this month and it is full size so definitely can use multiple times.
Full Size $9.50 / .33 OZ
-
NaobayOxygenating ~ Cream Moisturizing
This cream keeps the surface of your skin balanced, fresh and hydrated. With its special composition based on essential oils, such as rosehip oil and sweet almond oil, the surface of the skin is kept balanced and fresh.
It is definitely winter here in the northeast and in NY specifically, even though for two days the weekend before Christmas we had 60 degree days! Well, my skin is also drier during this time of the year and I am always on the lookout for moisturizing creams to help balance my skin out. I have to say it definitely does add extra moisture and has almost a citrusy smell to it as well, but not sure I would pay $44 for the full size to be totally honest here with you, but the sample included will definitely get used by me.
Full size $44.00 / 1.7 FL OZ

My friend has a Birchbox subscription…Glossybox sounds very similar! How fun to get a surprise in a box!

Dana says
Great nail polish color – I love using dark, rich colors in the wintertime. My daughter just subscribed to a similar beauty box, but I think it's tailored more for teens. The obsession is starting early!

Janine Huldie says
I am so with you on dark nail colors in the winter. And I am sure if my girls are anything like me they will be obsessed with beauty products in their teen years (that was when it started for me, too!).
another jennifer says
That pumpkin mask looks really cool!
Janine Huldie says
Jennifer, it is and the past part is the smell. Seriously this and the mint smell this time of year totally are up there as favorites for me!! π

This is like a mini spa kit π I love getting little beauty products like this. I got something cute from Influenster that I plan on sharing on my blog too π

I wish you lived closer so we could have a spa night!! Among other reasons for you to live closer.. And good eyeliner is an important investment. Same with good nail polish and masks, etc.
My recent post Extreme Makeover: Life Edition.
Janine Huldie says
How I wish we lived closer, because a spa night would be heaven with you. And couldn't agree more about a great eyeliner being key, as well as nail polish and masks, too!! π

My recent post The Elusive Quest for Sleep
Janine Huldie says
Kim, seriously these boxes are so much fun and will say even when you think something might not be something you may use many others in the same box you would like. So for the price totally worth it to me at the very least for this reason π
notinjersey says
looks like fun stuff! my favorite would be the eye liner – too bad you didn't get the full size! π

April, both my girls love me to paint their nails now, too. So, we do this now at least once a week!! π
Niki (Glossy Blonde) says
I loved this box! The nail color was really pretty and I love the scet of the body wash. I was really excited to see the Michael Todd mask too, but I can't use it on my sensitive skin so that was a little disappointing! My sister in law loves it though!
My recent post Celebrate!
Janine Huldie says
Sorry Niki, you couldn't use the mask, but so glad your sister-in-law loves it. But I know this box was awesome and was kind of shocked considering that it followed the limited edition holiday box and wasn't sure what to expect after that one.
Nellie says
I think I would like the body wash the most. I am a big fan of great smelling products, (especially to wake me up in the mornings!)
