October 2013 Glossybox Sneak Peek Hint! Byrdie Collaboration!

Not sure if this is going to be the regular Glossybox for October, or a special edition box, but this month's Glossymag mentions that coming in October we should be on the lookout for a Collaboration box being developed by the founders of whowhatwear and Byrdie's Editorial Director.

There is a picture of what may be the UK version here:

[UPDATE: The Byrdie Box will be sent out to everyone in October!  Collaboration Boxes are generally the best boxes!  If you are thinking of trying Glossybox, this might be one of the best boxes this year!]

August 2013 Glossybox Review!












There were a lot of full sized products in August's Glossybox--in fact, everything was full sized!

Jelly Pong Pong Lip Blush--A nice baby pink without being too bright!

Sue Devitt Triple C-Weed Pressed Powder--Quiet and Still was the perfect color for me--I wish I knew someone who did not like this color so I could trade for it!

Novex Brazilian Keratin Hair Care Treatment Cream--Anything that helps my dry hair is a big win with me!

Anatomicals Spray Misty for Me Facial Spritz--Not sure that lavender and peppermint are going to be too good for my sensitive skin.

ModelCo Eyeshadow Duo in Bronzed Goddess--Hmmm, this is the second time I have received this item and, as anyone who has read my posts before knows, I do not care at all for eyeshadows.  I would have loved either of the other two options, but oh well--at least there were three good full sized items for me!

IPSY September 2013 Sneak Peek One!


NYX Eye Shadow Single, White
I found this online and I think it might be the first sneak peek for September: http://www.ipsy.com/product/p-hkyrrjgu6x5m1izp/.  My guess is that it is some sort of NYX eyeshadow.  Although I am not an eyeshadow person at all, it does look like a nice product.

This has now been confirmed by Glossybox--I posted a few hours before they released the hint--thus the "I think it might be the first sneak peek" line above.

Also, on instagram they posted pictures of golden tickets--100 members will recieve $100 worth of credit for the Birchbox shop!  Too cool!

    Birchbox August 2013 Review!



    This month, Birchbox teamed up with Ann Taylor to bring us a "Finishing School" box--i.e. all about the finishing touches! 

    Here is what I received:

    Model Co Party Proof Lipstick in Red Velvet--Wow, this is worth $8, although not a color I would have chosen, I am glad to get something other than a bright color (what I usually get in subscription boxes) or a nude color (what I tend to buy)--thus, it is perfect--subscription boxes should give us something new!

    Number 4 Super Comb Prep & Protect--I traded for this last month and loved it, so this was a great surprise for me!

    Dr. Jart+ Premium BB Cream SPF 45--I am happy with the light color of this cream, most seem far too pigmented for me to use--I am super pale, so this is a big issue for me.

    Yes To Cucumbers Towelettes--Who doesn't need an extra face towelette?

    Jasmine Seven Fresh Feet Wipes--WHY!!!  WHY!!!  I so did not want the foot wipes, so I knew I would get them.  Oh well, with the items above and the five dollars worth of Birchbox points I will get, the box was well worth it!

    IPSY August 2013 Spoiler Sneak Peek 5! Glamour Academy Bag!

    Photo: AUGUST GLAM BAG SNEAK PEEK #5: Get ready to learn about what Glamour is all about this August. http://mygl.am/AugustGlamBagSneakPeek5

    What a lovely bag for back to school time!  This looks like it will be a nice bag and it is a little more "branded" than most of their bags--which I do not mind at all!  I think it is a cute idea and I love the design.  Great job IPSY!

    IPSY AUGUST SPOILER SNEAK PEEK 4!

    Photo: AUGUST GLAM BAG SNEAK PEEK #4: Class is in session with TWO of these amazing items in your August Glam Bag! http://mygl.am/AugustGlamBagSneakPeek4

    Wow, so we will all be getting two of these products. 

    One is a cheek stain,  http://www.citycolorbeauty.com/ipsy-cheek-stain/.

    I think one is a Chella Brow pencil, http://chella.com/products/item/dazzling_dark_brown_brow_color_pencil.

    The standing tube looks like Pacifica's Alight, http://www.pacificaperfume.com/face/alight-multi-mineral-bb-cream.

    The nail polish looks like the Nailtini from last month.

    I am pretty confident that the tube laying down is a smashbox photo finish primer sample. 

    I am hoping for the "flat" blush and the brow pencil, but I will happily take whatever they send me!

    Birchbox August 2013 Sneak Peek Video!

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_f63HT3MjZk

    Yea!  The sneak peek video for Birchbox has finally been posted.  I really would like the makeup products, but I hope not to receive the foot wipes.  It may make sense for people in NYC--apparently there is an issue with dirty city streets and sandals, but I am not in a city and my feet stay pretty clean.  I have changed my profile to see if I can influence them to send me more makeup--only time will tell. :)

    IPSY August 2013 Spoiler Sneak Peek 3! Pixi Lash Booster Mascara!

    Photo: AUGUST GLAM BAG SNEAK PEEK #3: Boost your look from good to glam with this eye-popping item! http://mygl.am/AugustGlamBagSneakPeek3

    http://www.pixibeauty.com/lash-booster-mascara-1664

    Yes!!!  I am very excited to be getting a mascara this month!  Since we all need to change our mascaras every 2-3 months, it makes sense that we should get mascaras more often in our subscription boxes!  I have wanted to try Pixi products and this will be a great test.  As someone with very sensitive skin and eyes, if I can use a mascara, it tells me a lot about a brand!
