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!
