*I pay for my subscription to GLOSSYBOX, however, I am also an affiliate marketer for them. So any links you click on and make a purchase through will indeed make me money off of. I am required by the FCC guidelines to indeed disclose this here.*
Hot off the heels of the Bergdoff Goodman May 2014 GLOSSYBOX, the Stars and Stripes Edition GLOSSYBOX for June 2014 arrived on my doorstep.
I happened to re-up in the middle of June and so my delivery of this box was even later then usual, being delivered on July 1st. Totally my fault for this, but just want to explain that I am indeed a month behind partially because of this and also because I do try out all the products before I post so that I can add any thoughts to these posts to help those deciding if they do want to try this subscription beauty box out.
And to be honest, I am so happy that I did get this box, when I did even if it was supposedly June’s box, it contained products for the summer and specifically 4th of July, which came just in the nick of time to use for July 4th weekend.
So to me, this box came at a perfect time for me.
Now, without further ado, here is the Star and Stripes Edition of GLOSSYBOX.
Before, get to the actual products, I want to make mention that this box, also came with a gift card of sorts labeled, “A World of Wonder, All for You” and “Every Card’s a Winner! Up to $500, Just for You.” for C Wonder. I immediately tried to see what my card was worth and was a bit disappointed that it was only worth $5, but I guess it was $5 more then I had.
Gift Card for Stars and Stripes GLOSSYBOXAnyways, onto the beauty products for the Stars and Stripes GLOSSYBOX:
-
STRANGEBEAUTIFUL – COLORBLOC
Exclusively designed for GLOSSYBOX, this patriotically inspired STRANGEBEAUTIFUL COLORBLOC pairing enables you to color your nails on the go effortlessly-outstanding for travel, airline friendly and splendid to hold. It is comprised of two saturated colors and housed in compact design. I totally used it for my 4th of July manicure and was a huge hit here.
FULL SIZE $18.00 / 2 X .15 FL OZ (RECEIVED FULL SIZE!!)
-
RUSK TEXTURE – DRY FINISHING SPRAY
This talc-free dry styling spray adds texture, shape and grip for an instant boost for hot summer nights, while maintaining hair’s natural movement. Best of all? No white flakes or chalky residue.
Love being able to have something to help jazz up my hair after long humid days and must admit I have used this more times then not for that extra boost. My bottle is almost done, but again well worth it to me.
FULL SIZE $18.00 / 8 OZ (RECEIVED SAMPLE SIZE 1.5 OZ)
-
AYRES – PATAGONIA BODY BUTTER
Tackle skin’s dry patches with an all-natural body formula enriched with herbal extracts and vitamins. This fragrant-fusion of jasmine, rosemary, lavender, bergamot and fir essential oils harkens to Patagonia’s contrasting landscapes.
Not only do I absolutely love the smell and aroma of this one, but it is so silky that I am truly addicted to using it on my skin. No joke this is another product from this box that I have not stopped using since I opened it.
FULL SIZE $28.00 / 6.75 OZ (RECEIVED SAMPLE SIZE 1 OZ)

CAMILLE BECKMAN – PLATINUM GOLD IMPERIAL REPAIR HAND THERAPY
Promising your hands a dose of hydration, restoration and softening, this dye-free, gluten-free citrus scented cream includes botanicals like sweet almond oil, grapeseed oil and the brand’s signature herbal complex.
This cream, I have used once so far. Not toady sold on the scent to be honest, plus my hands aren’t really dry this time of the year, so I am saving if for the colder, winter months where I do indeed have my hands get dry and need some extra TLC.
FULL SIZE $10.00 /1.35 OZ (RECEIVED FULL SIZE!!!)
-
SUMITA BEAUTY – CHAMPAGNE EYE SHADOW PENCIL
The perfect finishing touch for day or night, this universally-flattering golden shade offers a hint of shimmer to accent any eye color. Use as a highlight or apply to your entire eyelid without fear, as this silky pencil won’t smudge or smear.
I have been using this pencil over my beige/light borne eye shadow that I had beforehand and love the shimmery effect it gives off on the eyes. I usually wear it if we go out later in the day or on the weekends.
FULL SIZE $18.00 / .08 OZ (RECEIVED FULL SIZE!!)
Happy Summer to all and get your GLOSSYBOX now!!

Robin (Masshole Mommy) says
A $5 gift card? I would have thrown it in the trash lol. I love the nail polish colors 🙂
Alexa says
Oh I haven’t even checked my card yet! Hope it doesn’t expire before I get a chance to see! I probably only have $5 too! And I voted for you!
Diane Roark says
Janine,
I love your BOX VOX review. One thing I have learned as I age is that every part of my body need lots and lots of moisturizer. Thanks for sharing the Hand Therapy and the Body Butter. I think this would definitely help moisturize.
Blessings,
Diane
Diane Roark says
I really did mean GLOSSYBOX!
Diane Roark says
Janine,
I love that GLOSSYBOX included a gift card. Someone will be really excited to find it is worth a lot of money.
Blessings,

1. $5 at Dollar Tree makes you feel like a Rockafeller.
2. I think I’d steal that body butter of all the things in the box. I’ve somehow managed 16 years as a dad without having my nails polished even once.
3. I wonder if they make a box like this for Star Wars legos.
Pure Grace Farms says
Cute packaging. I bet it is fun getting to try all those fun products!
Bill says
I was already to finish that sentence, and I get makeup???? LOL Have a great Friday, Janine.
jhanis says
Oh I’d like to try the dry finishing spray! And the body butter!
Rosey says
I’m not usually big on these kinds of subscriptions, but you keep showing great stuff with the Glossybox and it’s making me consider a change of heart!
Carrie Groneman says
Janine, how fun would this box be! Trying all the products would be so fun, in fact, my daughters would love something like this. Carrie, A Mother’s Shadow
lisacng @ expandng.com says
Yea, it was $5 more than you had :). C Wonder has cute stuff! I love the nail colors and the texturizing spray. I also use it in between hair washes to wick away oil.
karen says
every time I see a glossy box post I get more jealous than I was last time, LOL…one day I will participate..it;s on my list.
Kim says
Bummer that you didn’t get a larger amount on the gift card but like you said – it was $5 more than you had before the box came.
Amanda @ Growing Up Madison says
I love your glossybox. I have been thinking of getting a subscription lately and have even asked Krxssy what she thought about it since I wanted to give it to her. I’ll have to show her this and ask again. Love those color polishes!
Rea says
Definitely voted for you! We just need to click it once right? And the vote gets in? 🙂 I love your glossy box as always. The body butter is something I’d like to try. I love trying different scents but nowadays, I don’t have much time to shop in stores and try new ones. Aw.
Jen@JENerallyInformed says
I would love the 2 lotions, the hand repair and body butter. My skins feels like sandpaper this summer! I like the contents of the Glossy Box and think it looks like a good beauty box to subscribe to.
Christy Birmingham says
Hi Janine! Happy weekend 🙂 I just voted for you and hope you win — that’s so cool you’re in that contest! I love those nailpolishes too and very neat you had them to wear for July 4th.
Tamara says
Fun! Sorry about the five bucks, though. Although it depends on where it’s five dollars. Five dollars at Dunkin Donuts is pretty great!
The nail polish looks fabulous.
Aunt Gloria says
You got my vote! Good luck. The Glossy Box products look wonderful and glad you get to enjoy them. Have a good weekend. xxoo
Cynthia says
You have tried out and done some really awesome stuff as a result of your blog. You’re *awesome* – so glad we’re friends because you inspired me. 🙂
Brittnei says
Looks like a perfect box for you Janine! I’d love to try the body butter. 🙂 I have seen some great ones recently with all natural ingredients so I have soothing body butter on the brain. 🙂
Nellie @ Brooklyn Active Mama says
That eye shadow pencil is awesome and I am happy you got the full size! Thanks for another amazing review 🙂
Niki says
I loved this box!! The hand cream, body butter and eyeshadow pencil were all huge hits for me! I only got $5 to C. Wonder too though! Bummer!
