I'm not much of a beauty addict. I like to take care of my body and hair, and obviously love makeup, but if you were to ask me what I like better: beauty products or fashion. It's hands down fashion. I stumbled upon Andrea's blog a couple months ago and really like it. I read about her review on Glossybox and decided that I should give it a try. I signed up in March and received my first box on May 1. I know that's quite a long time, but I'm sure they were just starting up, hopefully my May box will come within the month of May.
My April Glossybox included:
1. Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer (Full size)
2. Elizabeth Grant Skin Care Shower Gel
3. Wella Brilliance Conditioner Fine to Normal
4. Wella Brilliance Treatment Fine to Normal
5. Marcelle Xtension Plus Mascara (Full size)
I'm most impressed with the Aveeno moisturizer. I use it daily. It's super light and absorbs very easily. It's also great because it has SPF 15. I tried the Wella conditioner but hard to tell since I have so much hair and the sample was so little. I can't tell you much about it. Also I'm not thrilled to receive two products from the same brand. I also used the shower gel and although it's not my favorite scent, it wasn't too bad. It didn't smell like apricots but more of a sweeter candies scent. I haven't try the other products yet. I'm sure there are tons of these beauty boxes online. Are there any other ones I should check out?
Overall, I'm not blown away with the items I received. There was nothing in the box that I was excited about. Secretly, I was hoping for some makeup or nail polish, but I didn't get either one. However, for the monthly subscription of $15, it's kinda fun getting a surprise box each month.
What are your thoughts on beauty boxes? Do you subscribe to Glossybox?

Aw, you finally got your box! Sorry to hear you're not completely impressed, but hopefully May will live up to your expectations!
PS - hope you had a great mother's day, Jo!
Hey, I saw your comment on my blog and decided to check yours out. This glossy box thing sounds like a cool idea, although I guess it is kind of gamble and you never know what you're going to get. But that makes it exciting too right? I might check it out - thanks for sharing this!
P.S. I've been using that Aveeno moisturizer for a couple months now and I absolutely love it too! :)
