I have a love of all things beauty and always have since I was younger. Back in the day before having kids, I used to get Vogue and In Style, as well Lucky Magazine.
For the last few years, I admit I have been out of the loop, as far as fashion and beauty goes. I was lucky if I got to read my monthly free subscription to Parents magazine.
But recently, I subscribed to GLOSSYBOX and have shared my monthly subscription finds with you.
This month, GLOSSYBOX teamed with BYRDIE, which is labeled one’s destination for all things beauty. BYRDIE, for those, who may not know is online beauty magazine indeed dedicated to beauty. It was launched to give all celebrity makeup tips, as well as give a look at the latest products on the market, too.
BYRDIE is really a one stop place for all fashionable news for all true beauty fanatics.
So, I was truly excited when I received this month’s GLOSSYBOX that collaborated with BYRDIE on this month’s subscription box.
Would you like to know what was included in this month’s GLOSSYBOX from BYRDIE?
-
Balance Me-Shine On Tinted Lip Salve: Full Size $16.50 / 20ML. ~
~ I loved this lip gloss from first use and must admit the color is perfect for my skin tone, plus I am a huge fan of lip gloss, because my lips are always so dry, but not a fan of much more to use then gloss land definitely not a fan of lipstick anymore. So, this is now in my makeup bag in my pocketbook at all times. So probably one of my favorites so far from all my GLOSSYBOX gets, yet!
-
BVLGARI Eau Parfumee Au the Eau De Colgne: Full Size $85 / 2.5 oz.
~I also love trying new perfumes and must admit the scent here is a citrus/floral bouquet is very appealing. The one thing, I am not a fan of with this sample is the actual container it came in, because I would rather have a spray then have to dab it on with my fingers, because then I am in need of washing my hands before touching other things. So, I have used it, but not as much as I would like, because of the actual application. Just a pet peeve of mine, I suppose.
-
FRESH LOTUS YOUTH PRESERVE FACE CREAM: Full Size $42 / 50 ml.
~ I still am not seeing a lot of fine lines yet thankfully at the age of 36. In my family, I must admit we have pretty good resistance to wrinkles and has always been a bit of a joke about us finding the fountain of youth, but still doesn’t stop me from wanting take care of my skin. And this face cream truly is a wonderful addition in my skin regime daily for that. It is lightweight and as far as I can tell pretty near perfect, as far as a daily moisturizer can go. Totally would recommend this one and have also been using it everyday before applying my makeup.
-
SESHA REJUVENATING ANTI-WRINKLE MASK $9.00 / One Sheet
~I will be honest and share that I have not used this mask yet and probably won’t. Not because it isn’t worthy of using, just not a face mask person to be perfectly frank with all that read this. I have to be honest this is probably the one product so far that they could have left out of any of my GLOSSYBOX’s, because I just can’t seem to get into this concept for myself. But that said, I have heard great things about this type of product and if this your thing than would tell you that this particular mask is so supposed to be the perfect finish to anti-age regime at home.
-
TARTE LIGHTS, CAMERA, FLASHES STATEMENT MASCARA : Full Size $23.00 / 0.31 Fl Oz.
~I have sampled a few different mascaras over the last month, but if you are looking for a mascara that will lengthen and adds volume to your lashes, then this is the product for you. It is truly a miracle worker. See I have very thin and short eye lashes (thankfully my girls do not seem to take after to me for this one and will be thankful as they get older for this!). Seriously, put this on and it truly was like having new lashes. And best of all it doesn’t clump or run. Truly very long lasting, too. Definitely would recommend this mascara.
***My 3 month subscription was up after this GLOSSYBOX, but must admit I was so impressed after these last three months, that I renewed for another 3 months. So stay tuned for next month’s box coming soon!***

massholemommy says
I'm a big fan of lip gloss, too and I love the color of the one you got! I might have to order myself one π
My recent post Disney’s Magic Kingdom – Day Two
Janine Huldie says
Yay and let me know what you think if you do order it, Robin!! π
The Dose of Reality says
I used to get all of those magazines, too, back in the day. Now…I am seriously lacking in the glamour department. I never know what new products are out there…until now!! I need to get some Glossybox action pronto! FUN!!
I am ordering this mascara right now. I am always on the look for a good mascara. Always!! –Lisa
Janine Huldie says
I know it is sad, but true and trust me until recently I didn't really bother either with beauty. But when I ordered Glossybox, something got triggered from before inside of me and just can't help it, I love getting these beauty boxes monthly now and really is such a pick me up. Let me know what you think about the mascara, I just love it π
day-with-kt.com says
I have never tried any of the "box" subscriptions out there. I always wonder if I would really get my monies worth – this one sounds pretty good!!
My recent post The Joys of Moody Teenage Boys!!!
Janine Huldie says
I totally was always wondering, too and decided three months ago to try this subscription and seriously am so happy I did, because I get a surprise monthly and it isn't in the form of a bill for once! So always a win-win to me on this one π
Angel says
I used to read the same magazines back in days long gone by. I used to love to try all the new makeups out there. Now I'm lucky if I get to put on mascara. Mascara is my one item I feel like I MUST have each day. I feel naked without it. I'd love to try some new products.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Angel
My recent post The Harvest
Janine Huldie says
Totally my pleasure with the inspiration and if you love mascara, the one in this box was truly the best I have used in a long time π
Billybuc says
Just dropped by to wish you a wonderful day, Janine!
Janine Huldie says
Awe, thanks Bill and just did the same on your Hub. Great minds totally think alike! π
April says
I have loved my lip gloss, not just to wear alone, but to soften stronger lip colors. I find that harder colors don’t match who I am.
Janine Huldie says
I am so with you April and not a fan of darker lip colors either and like softer, more neutral shades when it comes to lip gloss.
Nellie says
Glossyboxes are so right up my alley! I used to be a huge lipgloss fan but now I am obsessed with lipstick! I can totally see how that color would be perfect on you, it is so pretty!
My recent post My First Time
Janine Huldie says
Thanks Nellie and I used to love lipstick with liner, too when I was younger. Just not a fan anymore and loving this lip gloss though now totally π
Niki says
You lucky girl! I feel like I have so many lines under my eyes already! I absolutely love the Fresh cream, their products are always amazing!
My recent post A Little Bit of Leather
Janine Huldie says
Niki, I don't have lines, but from not sleeping for years right now (had insomnia when I was younger and now kids screwing with my sleep), I have dark circles), so I hope that one of these next boxes will include something for that, because that would be so something I could totally use!! And thank you again for turning me onto Glossybox, truly cannot say enough how I appreciate that!! π
Aria says
October's box was great but I can't wait to get my November Glossybox and see what's inside.
Janine Huldie says
I know and same here Aria!! π
lovingmarshall says
Do you always get full sizes of products? That sounds awesome!
I actually love a good mask–feels so luxurious to me. π
My recent post Thoughts of "busy-ness"
Janine Huldie says
Some of the products are sample size and some are full size in each box. Depends on what they send, I suppose. And I wish I liked the mask, because it looks awesome, but just so not my thing.
stephanie2006 says
Glad you loved the boxes and renew your subscription. There should be at least a little pampering for us moms π The lip gloss indeed looks awesome. I think I tried the perfume at some point but it wasn't really my taste, but glad you liked it!
My recent post Challenge 2013: Book 11 – The Thirteenth Tale
Janine Huldie says
I know Stephanie and seriously couldn't agree more about us needing something just for us. And the scent of the perfume was Ok, just wasn't a fan of the application.
tamaralikecamera says
I'm totally face mask person! I think it freaks out my kids but every now and then for a special occasion, I like to make my own. In fact, I got a perk at Klout today and it was face masks! Too funny.
Tinted lip salve is my favorite!
My recent post That’s Just The Way It Is.
Janine Huldie says
So in the minority on the face masks for sure, but just can't help it, not my thing. That is a funny coincidence and glad we at least have the tinted lip salve in common!! π
lsdavidson says
I have the light, thin lashes too so I'm curious about that mascara! What a fun box to look forward to!
My recent post Quote of the Week
Janine Huldie says
Seriously the mascara is great for thin lashes and I have tried a lot with not much results. So, I would totally recommend, because I honestly loved it!! π
Kristi Campbell says
I'm really allergic to so much but I will definitely check this out! Thanks, Janine! You have the best tips…
My recent post Caillou: He’s just a kid who sucks
Janine Huldie says
Thank you Kristi for saying that and I know I have sensitive skin, so always helps to find products that don't irate that for me.
Crafty Spices says
Never really gotten any of these subscriptions and yet just like yours recently I have read about a few that seem to be worth the deal. I just like you was a big fan of these magazines and was always up to date on the latest, well that all has changed and now I'm more into A B C's and all that good stuff that comes with having little ones LOL.
Thanks so much for trying to put us back in the loop.
Have a great rest of the week.
My recent post Ultimate Geeky Prize Pack #freebloggeropp
Janine Huldie says
Jay, I know the feeling well and just glad to hear it is just me who has been out of the loop and happy to just to be able to try to put us slightly back in this loop! π
@itsmaryspeaks says
I think I like that Bvlgari Perfume! Haaha. I think we share a pet peeve too! Cool! π Im like a clean freak and have to wash my hands everytime I dab something on it. Dont prefer sanitizers either because they feel sticky. Lol
Janine Huldie says
Mary, I am so with you on sanitizers and so not a fan of how sticky and drying they are to my skin, too.
lizzy allan says
I hadn't heard of Glossybox or Byrdie before! I saw a photo of myself yesterday and decided I definitely need something in the anti-wrinkle department (how did those crow feet sneak up on me??) LOL , cue the violins π
My recent post Making a Traditional Sicilian Tambourine
Janine Huldie says
Lizzy, I may not have as many wrinkles, but the dark circles from lack of sleep back when the girls were really little and the gray hairs I got going on (in need of a touchup soon) frighten me when I take a good look in the mirror. So, totally know that feeling and you aren't alone!
tinarobmorley says
I can see you've been a very busy girl! Thanks for linking and commenting on my blog! I was wondering if you'll have the guest post ready for me this month. And, it's not meant to be extensive, because I know you are busy and many readers enjoy getting the nuts and bolts. I was also thinking if you mention how you set up the "Lovely Sponsors" side of blogging. Have a fabulous week!
My recent post Picture Perfect Party Linky #64
Janine Huldie says
Tina, I haven't forgotten you, but I have had a house that has been overrun by illness here and just trying to keep up with my own two sites right now to be quite honest. Emma started with running a fever and throwing up, just as she was getting better, Lily got it and then a few days into that I started to feel less then perfect. I have had both girls home from school, too, because of this. And when I could do more writing late at night, I am just too tired that I go to bed and collapse in it at night. So, I will be honest I may need to be done sometime in the next month or so, because I am a bit behind on my own (I pre-scheduled a bit-so thank god for that).
tinarobmorley says
I totally understand! Maybe you can write the post along the idea of 3 Tips for…. or 5 Tips for…. Whenever you are ready. I hope you guys all get over the bug and start feeling great again. π
My recent post Picture Perfect Party Linky #64
Janine Huldie says
Thanks Tina and we are getting there slowly, but this virus just went through the whole house. But once I have a bit more time and my kids are both back in school int he afternoons will see what I can come up with π
dianeroark says
Janine,
I googled the mascara to find out where I can get some. I also entered the giveaway.
Thanks for another great giveaway.
Blessings,

My recent post Bloggers Share Your Favorite Post, Pinterest, Twitter, & Facebook Page
Janine Huldie says
Totally my pleasure with the giveaway and hope you found the mascara alright. I think Glossybox must sell it if they included it int his box. So, if all else fails try their site, because I am so thinking they carry this one. π
Sandy Ramsey says
I love your review of this box! I did use the mask but I have a good ten years on you and it did say for mature skin. It did some tightening, I can attest to that! I didn't get to try the mascara and am going to have to hunt it down in the teenager's room to give it a test. I like the moisturizer and lip gloss as well and am with you on preferring a spray perfume but I do like the scent. I like comparing our reviews…it's fun! So I'm glad you signed on for a little bit longer!
Janine Huldie says
I love that we can totally compare our reviews and seriously Glossybox is so much fun, that I so had to sign on for a bit longer, because I am totally hooked now!! π
The Vanilla Housewife says
Hi Janine! Dropping by from the Pin it Party, have a great weekend!
