I absolutely LOVE this months GlossyBox. It contains everything that I would use daily or weekly and the products are great for this Spring / Summer, plus it came with THREE full sized products. I just got out of bar soaps and started using the Tea Tree Oil body wash from The Body Shop and now I have the Elizabeth Grant Shower Gel as well! The only problem I have with this shower gel is that the cap is a screw off cap, as opposed to a squeeze cap, but the smell totally makes up for it. It smells SO good, like a pina colada! I'm also excited to try out the Wella hair products because my hair is so fine and easily gets split ends and because they smell like berries! I'm happy about the Aveeno daily moisturizer with SPF 15, but I wish it was tinted. The Marcelle Mascara is lovely and I really like the wand, I find plastic wands clump less than bristle brush wands. The BB Cream I could live without, I find a lot of companies are hopping on the BB Cream wagon and just renaming their tinted moisturizers "BB Creams" to sell.

What was your favourite product this month? :)

NuMe |$100 Gift Card

Total Glymm Box worth (without gift card): $32.04 


Honestly, I’m kind of disappointed in this month’s Glymm Box. I’m not a fan of lip gloss, lip balm and lipstick is so much better in my opinion. The only thing I liked from this box was the bar of soap which smells really nice, kind of like every other soap bar you find in hotel bathrooms, but definitely isn’t worth buying full price. I’ve never been a fan of sulphate free shampoos either because they don’t lather and get sudsy, which I think is funnest part in the shower J. However, I got SUPER excited when I saw the NuMe gift card… Until I actually looked on the NuMe website. I was hoping to get some real human hair extensions but they cost $180 when I can get them at a nearby hair supply store for around $50. Almost nothing is under $100, only hair treatments such as shampoo & conditioner, hair masks etc. I looked at the Argan Oil and was shocked to see that they are selling it for $60! Definitely wouldn’t purchase from them if it wasn’t for this gift card. Hopefully next months box will be a little more useful to me.

*Update* The NuMe gift certificate ONLY applies to Hair extensions (not feathered) and heated styling tools. I probably won't be buying anything if that's the case since I already have hair extensions, a straightener and a curling wand.
Tell what you though about the April Glymm Box? What are you going to buy form NuMe? :)

GlossyBox is a monthly beauty subscription for $15 including tax + shipping. What I love about GlossyBox is that it originated in the UK and now it's spread worldwide! Also, for every GlossyBox you pruchase, you get 250 GlossyDots, and when you get 1000 GlossyDots, you can redeem a FREE GlossyBox! Cool right? Check it out here! Don't worry, if you find that the products aren't suited for you, you can cancel at any time!

I'm very happy with my first GlossyBox! My favourite product is the Pandora Blush because the colour is so versatile. Some blushes I own are WAY too pink, but I think St. Tropez is a nice muted pink/mauve that would look great on any skin tone! I'm not a big fan of the Evian facial spray because I'm not sure what it would do to my oily skin, especially during the summer. Will it hydrate my skin and make me look like I just washed my face or will it make my skin look oily along with all the sweat? Also, I'm not a big fan of the Aveeno lotion, but that's just because I don't use lotion (my skin is very smooth except around my knees and elbows, but I THINK that's normal. Correct me if I'm wrong :P), so I'm probably going to give that to my mom. Can't WAIT to try the hairspray! If only this box came earlier, I could've used it when I was curling my hair for a formal I went to :(. The Bailey lip gloss is sheer so it looks great on any lipstick because it adds more shine than colour. I haven't used the foam bath yet, but I'm definitely excited to! I'm going to save it for a relaxation day after all my exams :).
