Glossy 10K Thank You Fans Contest Box

I've been meaning to write this post about winning the Glossybox 10K Thank You Fans contest.  I just received an email yesterday that my September box is being shipped and scheduled to arrive on the 27 or 28th.  So I thought, why not do this post now since I will have to wait for my September box.

Aaaaahhhhh!!! My doorbell just rang.  Guess what?!?  My mailman hand delivered my September box!!  As soon as I finish this post I'm opening that bad boy!

Back to the contest.  Glossybox reached 10K fans on their Facebook page, so they were running a contest for 10 lucky fans to win a box.  I decided to enter and wondered what are the chances of me winning?  A few days later, I received an e-mail that I had won!!! Yahooooo!!!  I was so extremely excited!!  So I patiently waited for my box to come.  And here it is...

I was so happy to see that little teal bottle in my box!  If you've read my post Fancy Feet you know how much I love this Heel Rescue Balm!  Now I can use the bottle I have a little less sparingly.  However, I will be going to the UK soon, so hopefully I will be able to find this (fingers crossed).  There were a few other things that I had in this box that I received in my July Glossbox.  

I received another Figs & Rouge balm.  This is a balm that can be used on the lips, face, and body.  The great thing about having another one of these is that I often switch between 2 of my favorite purses.  And not everything alway makes the switch (mostly cuz I usually switch my purse as I'm running out the door).  Now I can have one of these in each of my handbags and not worry about it.  

I also received another Senna Double Dose Lip Lacquer.  I swatched the colors above.  They are on the sheer side.  I don't know if I'm completely sold on this product.  I do love that it is double sided and smells like frosting!  But they are thick, and I'm not a fan of having thick, tacky gloss on my lips.

On to the products that I haven't received yet...

Caswell-Massey | Almond & Aloe - This is a hand and body emulsion (fancy word for lotion?).  I may take these on vacation with me to give them a try.  The package says it contains almond oil and aloe vera.

Shea Terra Organics | Whipped Shea Butter - This is an organic cream in a cute little jar.  It's great to carry in your purse ( I like to put lots of stuff in my purse, yet I hate carrying a purse.  Go figure!).  This certainly has an organic scent.  To me, it smells like that smell of an arts and crafts store.  I'm not sure if that makes sense.  But I feel like all craft stores have the same smell of like potpourri?

Basq | Cucumber Tea Soothing Eye Gel - This gel is supposed to help with puffiness, swelling, and anti-aging.  I'm very particular about creams, lotions, and potions used on my face and eyes.  It might take me a while before I get the courage to try this.  Is anyone else like that??  

 Phyto | Phytojoba - Yes!  Another product for dry hair!  This is a masque for dry hair that I most certainly will give a try!  I'm using so many things to help with dry hair, I'm not really sure what's doing the trick and what isn't.  Oops!

Kinerase | Firming Cream - This is a firming cream for the face used day and night.  It's a pretty small sample size, so I don't know that any effect will be seen after using it.  I'll contemplate this sample too.

Vbeaute | Cream, Eye Cream, and Serum - I love these little purple sample tubes.  I'd say about 50% of product packaging has an effect on my thoughts of a product.  I know, I know.  Shake your head.  But I can't help it!!  Same thing as the Kinerase Firming Cream, I'm not sure if any positive effects will be seen using this small sample.

GlossyBox | Brush -They sent me a brush!  You can never have too many brushes!  This is a perfect makeup bag sized brush.

And there you have it.  My jam packed Fan Contest Box!  Now I can go open my September Box!!

Until next time!
