Glossy September

Hey Guys!!

I'm back!  I've hopefully fulfilled my need to jet set for the time being ;c)  Sorry, I've taken so long to post my September GlossyBox.  But here it is finally.  The theme for this month's box is "Fall Forward".  The good people at Glossy wanted to give us a "forward look into new products, formulas, technologies, and colors of the season".  And that they did!  I've actually had some time to give some of it a try so I can also let you know what I thought with their descriptions.


GK Hair | Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner ($20/10.1oz each) - The shampoo and conditioner are said to condition and smooth your hair leaving it feeling smooth, radiant, and revitalized.  Just prior to leaving, I made an off the cuff decision to trim my hair.  I was tired of the ends of my hair being crunchy.  My hair felt much better after being trimmed.  I brought these samples with us on our trip to the UK, rather than packing our large bottles.  My hair did feel smooth after using these samples, but I'm not really sure if it was because of the shampoo and conditioner or because of my fresh cut.  For now I think I will stick to my Redken Shampoo and Conditioner.


Koh Gen Do | Cleansing Spa Water ($13/3.38oz) - This is a Japanese product made with mineral-rich hot spring water.  It helps to remove makeup in a "single sweep".  I haven't used this on its own yet.  I usually use a makeup remover towelette and my Liz Earle clean and polish to remove my makeup.  I did try to use this after using the towelette.  It definitely took off all remaining eye makeup.  



Kryolan | Glossy Pink ($14/0.14oz) -  This is a creamy, hyrdating, and long lasting lipstick created by Kryolan for Glossy.  It is a great lipstick color to throw on that will match just about anything.   I pair it with my Revlon Just Bitten in Honey and love it!



Here is the combination of the Honey lip stain and Glossy Pink lipstick
(Don't mind the cannon pointed at my head lol)
Missha | M perfect Cover BB Cream ($29.99/1.69oz) - This is what I love about GlossyBox.  They throw in products that cost more than the cost of the box itself.  This one product alone makes purchasing the product worth it.  This is a BB cream that comes from Korea.  This cream has an SPF of 42 and claims to moisturize, whiten, and minimize wrinkles.  It has light coverage and a nice floral scent (if you don't mind scents in your facial products). 



So that was my September GlossyBox, and my October box will be here soon!

Until next time!
