3rd #glossybirthday + Harper’s Bazaar GLOSSYBOX

I am an affiliate marketer for GLOSSYBOX, but have purchased my own subscription for their services, however, if you click on my links in this post and make a purchase, I make a small commission from these purchases.

This is a double whammy post, as I am sharing both my August and September GLOSSYBOXES here with all today since I got a bit behind since the girls started school in the last month and I ended up not posting August GLOSSYBOX last month and received the September GLOSSYBOX in the meantime.

So without further ado, here we go – two GLOSSYBOXES for the price of one post!!!

The eyes have it this month as we celebrate our 3rd #glossybirthday with a summer night-worthy eye look. Use this month’s eyeliner and Kryolan for GLOSSYBOX highlighter to create a smoldering evening eye. – from GLOSSYBOX Website Description.

Only one problem with this summer is pretty much over and I received my August 3rd Birthday box of GLOSSYBOX aka #glossybirthday on Tuesday, September 9th!

I absolutely love the box contents, but my one contention over and over is how much later can we receive a GLOSSYBOX clearly labeled the previous month well into the following month.

Yet, as I have said, I do absolutely adore all I received, but still question saying this was August’s GLOSSYBOX and describing it as a summer filled #lossybirthday box, when clearly I received it in Septmeber days away from the first day of Fall.

 The box, itself, was the same pink GLOSSYBOX with the black logo displayed on it.

I opened GLOSSYBOX #glossybirthday box up to find a new square black and pink card with all different fashion cities listed on it. 

The card, itself, was a tri-fold card stock card that had a warm thank from GLOSSYBOX, Founder and Global CEO, Charles von Abercron.

What awaited me inside for  GLOSSYBOX #glossybirthday month’s get was nothing short of amazing and keep reading now to find out!
