What is about the end of summer that makes most nostalgic and wanting to carpe diem or seize the day?
As most know, at least for me, their has been a bit of sadness in the air, because I happen to the love the summertime and all that comes with it. Soon enough though it will be over and the leaves will begin to change, the temperature will have a slight chill to it and everything will go from green to shades of gold.
For me, Fall isn’t the worst, but winter following again not a fan. So definitely have been feeling shades of blue about what will come in the next few months. However, I decided to do something just for me after signing up with GLOSSYBOX as an affiliate to cheer me up a bit. Recently, I volunteered that I placed a 3 month subscription with them here.
September GlossyBox!!So, I totally seized the day on that one for sure, because I am so not used to doing anything for myself at of late, because again as most know, we are saving for a house so I have been cutting corners by not spending much on myself since I work at home anyways.
But, I couldn’t resist. I received the package and it was packed and wrapped so beautifully.
GLOSSYBOX Packaging
There was a lovely notecard included as well listing the five products (all full sizes) for this month. As well as, Guess brand makeup bag and a 30% off coupon for Guess, too.

For three months the box, cost me $64.40, but I had a 15% discounted coupon I got to use that they were offering. So the three months, cost me $55.40 (receiving $9 off).
My Thoughts on the September GLOSSYBOX~
I have to admit, it more then paid for itself already with #2, The Novex Keratin Treatment. I have been wanting to try a Keratin treatment for awhile and was ecstatic that this was included in the first box. I have used it already and loved it. Also, #5 is amazing and love the Sue Devitt Pressed Powder really does finish off and even your skin tone once you have applied all your other makeup. I am using it to keep my makeup in place and it has been working like a charm.
The Jelly Pong Pong Lip Blush (#3) is a bit on the red side for me. I usually just use clear lip gloss or Burt’s Bee’s Chapstick. But once I blotted it, I actually really liked it and gave just the right amount of shading to my lips. And last but not least, Pandora’s Nail Polish #4, I have yet to use, but am excited to try very soon, because looks like a fun color to me, but will definitely go with two shades, because I would rather it be opaque, not transparent.
Well, that is it for the September GLOSSYBOX, but promise to return with October’s Box next month to share more beauty products when it arrives. And maybe you too will try this, because it really made my day and if you are into beauty products at all, think you would love this, too.

Oh my am I the first???
Wonderful Janine and I had a peep at Glossy Box and it is so nice to be bale to set some time aside for ourselves. This is very important I feel .As I have said before Janine from the very first hub of yours that I read and then following you on here I really do find you so inspiring. I am not just saying this I honestly do mean it. I think it's your beautiful posts the order of your day that impresses me ;and you also have a beautiful family and that in itself can be a full time job. I am determined to sort out all I have on the web into hubbing and blogging.
Have a wonderful day my dear friend.
Eddy.
Janine Huldie says
Oh thank you so very much Eddy and please know the feeling is quite mutual and love reading your poetry and short stories. I am always left wanting more from you. Thank you for all your support and your friendship, too. Means the world to me and hope you too are having a wonderful day now!!! 🙂
Sara says
I get my hair Japanese straightened but have been curious if the at home Brazilian keratin treatments work. I used to buy pressed powder sheets from The Body Shop to use in the summer when I might be shiny. Good idea to help it keep your makeup in place.

Sara, I always wanted to my hair professionally straightened, but just couldn't afford it. But I tell you if I had the money that would probably be the first thing I do. And yet I am thankful for the at home treatment at the very least now!! 🙂
Blond Duck says
I miss summer! 🙁
Janine Huldie says
Oh I do too, but yesterday was more like Summer temperature wise being in the 90s then August was. Go figure!!
massholemommy says
I get keratin done at the salon and it costs A LOT more than the bottle of stuff they sent you LOL. It's totally worth it, though. I have very naturally curly hair and with the keratin – you'd never know.

Janine Huldie says
I really want to get a Keratin treatment done at the salon, but like you said it is expensive and just can't afford that right now. So, this is seriously a godsend and will use every last drop of it!! 🙂
tamaralikecamera says
I'm feeling the melancholy big time today. I'm just so nervous about this wedding that it's affecting my overall demeanor. I feel stressed and achy and annoyed and sad because Cassidy is away for three days.
I want some pampering! Looks like lovely stuff.

Tamara, I know the feeling and was so there at the end of last weekend and this past weekend, too. This was a huge pick me up for me. I got it on Friday, but finally had the time on Sunday to go through it and had so much fun doing that. But I will say if you need to talk e-mail me and you know I am so here for you. Love you 🙂 xoxo!!

If the lipstick is a little too red for you, put on the chapstick first and the color on top, it'll be a perfect hue, and not set in the lip creaes 😉

catherine gacad says
hi janine, i was walking around nyc with my husband yesterday and passed by the birch box office. i told my husband the whole concept and he said, "i think you should do it. it would be a nice treat for you to get something in the mail." he is such a nice hubby! anyhow, it was more the point of how successful the subscription business is. this sounds like a similar concept. and i definitely agree that you get more product than what you pay!
Janine Huldie says
Ok that is so sweet and definitely sounds like you have a wonderful husband Catherine. I know I was hearing so much about GlossyBox and Birch Box and really wanted to try one of them, because the concept sounded like fun to me (always been into beauty and fashion). Then I became an affiliate for GlossyBox and that kind of sealed the deal for me. Just actually used this month’s nail polish inclusion on my toes this morning. And so hoping you are enjoying NYC and can’t wait to hear all about it on your blog when you get home now 🙂
Judy Haughton-James says
