Here is how your box will arrive! I am so excited... I cheated and saw some of the other "sneak peeks" to see what's in here! One thing about the sneak peeks though, is that you can watch them but you never know exactly what color, type, or product will be coming your box... mainly do to selections being based on your beauty profile.
20131126-113723.jpg
Opening Glossybox is like a dream, as one of the better packed boxes Glossybox is one of the Top Requested Boxes out there! I knew it was on my  list, but I just couldn't wait!
20131126-113825.jpg
Had to do another pic of the soft pink box with Glossybox logo.
20131126-113847.jpg
Opening your Glossybox is always like receiving a Luxury Gift from Paris! I am getting so excited just looking at the pink ribbon holding the delicate paper around my beauty products!
20131126-113924.jpg
Inside a theme card awaits "Holiday Romance" (you had me at hello Glossybox )
20131126-113951.jpg
Within the theme card is a listing of all the contents and a listing of the products "Full Size" value. The reason that Glossybox is highly sought, Glossybox actually sends a lot of  high end "Full size" items in their boxes.
20131126-114018.jpg
Here are some of the items received and the price points. I like looking up prices myself based on the actual item I received, to cross check the value (although, I wouldn't stop getting this box for the world). 
20131126-114406.jpg
Here are all my lovelies!!!!! I have a breakdown below.
20131126-131344.jpg
The Aloe Source Jojoba Radiance Cleaning Polish $5  for  1 oz (Full size is $30 for 6.7 oz)
Never tried this line before...I  just love trying new facial cleansers!
Mastey Full Sized Color Protection Color Protecting Leave-In Oil Treatment $25.00
Full sized... this was revealed on the sneak peek and I must say that I am a definite fan (darn...part of my Mastery spilled in the box, luckily it was only a tad, so I still can use a lot of it)
20131126-131439.jpg39560dams_400171103
Vincent Longo Duo Eye Pencil  full size 0.056 oz $26 
Nicka K New York Professional Eyeshadow Brush $5
Emite Full Size Makeup Micronized Eye Shadow in Dams  .05oz  $25
This was the most full size products I have ever received (with the exception of my Total Beauty Collections).
Of course, I have already tried on just about everything in my Glossybox
The Vincent Longo Duo Eye Pencil is fantastic, I received the Lime/Forest Duo which is the best thing I found thus far! the liner is high pigmented and the Lime has a slightly metallic hint to it. The Forest color is the darkest green black liner I have ever tried and I love it!
I think this will be my go to liner for now on... Amazing color choices for Brown eyes! 
I haven't tried the eye-shadow brush yet, but every girl needs an ample supply of eye-shadow brushes.
The Emite Eye Shadow in Dams looks black and slightly intimidating (due to it being highly pigmented), but it goes on with a rather light coverage. This is definitely blend-able and I love a good smokey eye!

Did you get your Glossybox yet? What did you think?

Stay tuned on the review of my favorite product out of the November 2013 Glossybox!

Birchbox November 2013 Review





This is how your box is delivered.

Birchbox is a mailed sample box subscription for $10 per month.

To many this is the crown jewel of boxes and at times there are waiting lists.

Let's start the fun....

Opening the package -

Within the box is another box with the company logo at the top.




Within each box is a product card that allows the subscriber to know the theme of the month
And the contents, description, and cost
In every box there is an extra product called the "Birchbox Find" that is an item the team finds as exciting, necessary, or just plain awesome. It is always in addition to the 4-5 products you normally receive as a subscriber.

Next, Birchbox provides a mini catalog and tip's list, which can provide the reader with various ideas
The guides give you updates, trends, and additional products you can find on Birchbox "shops" (store).

Now, on to the good stuff.... What's in here?

What's in the blue box... The Birchbox find??? Yup. Here is everything revealed... please keep in mind that each Birchbox may be similar, but may vary in one or two samples based on your profile and questionnaire answers.

So here is a break down of the contents:

Has a clean scent and really makes my hands feel like.... well...butter.... You can never have enough moisturizing aids to stash in your purse.
I have been dying to try this mask after all the positive reviews I read. The mask retails for $42 for 8 masks and I received 1 so I valued it as $5.25. I am literally getting giddy as I write this review as I thing about trying this detox mask tonight!!
Eyeko products are a staple in the beauty world, and this product  is 13 fl oz, which is half the full size amount. It averages around $12. I have never tried Eyeko's mascara so I am excited to try this!

Folle de Joie eau de parfum retails at $98 (not for the sample) and is a blend of citrus and floral. I usually am not a floral person, but it is not an overpowering fragrance so it's wearable.

I am not one to give sample perfumes a cost, mainly because I receive so many from Sephora order samples.
Full size cost for 20 packets is $20, so the two packet sample is worth $2
Another WEI product with fantastic reviews....hmmm.... I might have two Birch Box Favorites this month.
This was the hard one... I am not a pretzel or toffee person, and since you only get one pretzel no value is given. I gave this sample to my daughter who in two bites swallowed the pretzel and said it was "alright". She is a "Foodie" at age 10 and loves food so I would heed her comment...lol.

All in all, I get to try several new products for the price of $10. For me, the- thrill of trying new things over-power the normal reaction to like or dislike a box. However, for value sake... this box was not the best I received, but it was one of the most pleasing.

The value of each item and the contents were all pleasing in some way, shape, or form :)
