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!

Robin (Masshole Mommy) says
Look at all that good stuff. I love that nail polish color.
Rosey says
I like BVLGARI perfume (got a bottle at Harrod’s once, and oh my… maybe I loved it so because it was my sole purchase at Harrod’s?). In any case, I bet I’d love that conditioner too.
Rosey says
We should go shopping at Harrod’s together, ha! The kids would love it, it’s a huge shopping playground. And a good excuse to go back to London. You tell your husband we’re going, and I’ll tell mine, and we’ll see if they’re in full agreement. π
All joking aside, I do like to see the reviews of your Glossy Box shipments. It’s one of the best subscription services I’ve seen.
Brittnei says
I love love love that one month’s gift box that is pink, black and white. It actually sort of looks like my blog colors π These seem like some really great finds, Janine. I’d love to try the shampoo. I haven’t tried too many sulfate free shampoos but I know they are supposed to be great for our hair.
Ginny Marie says
It is discouraging to get your monthly box a month late! But they are always filled with the most wonderful things! It’s fun to see what’s in your Glossyboxes!
Echo says
If I was more into make-up, I would probably try this, but I have had the same black eye liner pencil and eye shadow 4 tray for 8 years, LOL. That tells you how often I wear makeup.
Bill says
I’m just here to support you and wish you a Happy Friday…soooo…Happy Friday!
Diane Roark says
Janine,
I too get so excited to see what is in your box. It is always full of great products that I have never heard of. Thanks for letting me know they are out there.
Blessings,
Diane Roark

Amanda @ Growing Up Madison says
I am so loving these glossy boxes. I think I might surprise Krxssy with a subscription and have her share it with me. I don’t do much nailpolishes but she’s an addict. Can’t wait to see your next one.
lisacng @ expandng.com says
Yay for full size products!!!
Kim says
Just the other day I was wondering if you cancelled your Glossy box subscription – glad you got us caught up. One day I will grow up and wear makeup and be better about doing all of the skincare stuff. Until then I will just enjoy these posts!
Jen @ Simple Nails and Beauty says
I have been thinking about trying out Glossybox. I have seen the Harper’s Bazaar box reviewed a couple of times and each time makes me want to subscribe even more! Thanks for the great review {and somewhat feeding my makeup and beauty products addition!}

Holy products!!
The red nail polish is my favorite kind of polish EVER. I really only wear polish on my toes and it’s always red and glittery, if I’m lucky.
The highlighter makes me think of Photoshop tools!
Jen says
Wowza that Lip Tar and the hydrating shampoo and conditioner look amazing!! I need those in my life π
Aunt Gloria says
It all looks like so much fun to try and indulge your inner princess! xxoo
