October Glossybox

My Glossybox this month came a little over a week ago, but... I kinda forgot about it.  This month's box wasn't the my favorite Glossybox because I kinda feel like it's the same type stuff each month.  One month it's shampoo/hair products, face lotion/primer, mascara/lip product, intense lotion, and some smelly product.  I just wish they would put more variety in their boxes.... add different types of make up products (eye shadow, nice tools, highlighters, blush, etc).  I'm not crossing Glossybox off my list yet because there have been some great products (Full Size BB cream, Korean facial primer, Kryolan lipstick).

Enough. 

This month's theme was Spa Luxe, here is what is was all about...

There is the Glossymag... they should think about saving a tree (just saying)
Pretty.
Inside the box
The Goods. 

  • Alterna Bamboo - Luminous Shine Mist:  This lightweight spray contains Indian gooseberry and organic bamboo to control fly aways.  It's not something that I would use on a daily basis since I have fine straight hair and by the end of the day my hair tends to get oily so the less products the better I've found.  This would be a great product for someone with chemically treated or dry hair. 
  • Carol's Daughter - Shea Soufflé:  This super hydrating moisturizer is packed full of shea butter, cocoa butter, and jojoba oil to make your skin feel silky smooth.  This brand strays away from parabens, mineral oil, and artificial colors... which makes is nice... but I can't fall in love with the musky scent.  I'll use the product as a foot cream (you know far away from my face). 
  • Heartland Frangrances - Exfoliating Loofa Soap:  This soap is made with a loofa in it and then sliced into individual pieces.  I'm excited to try this product during the winter months when my legs get super dry (in the mornings I usually don't have time to apply lotion and let it dry before shimmying in my pants/jeans/leggings).  The scent shouldn't be bad, peppermint, it's pretty neutral fresh, right? 
  • Modelco - Lip Duo (Lipstick and Ultra Shine Lip gloss):  This is the third? fourth? lip product in Glossybox since I started subscribing to the box and while this is a great color the lipstick itself is a bit hard, kind of cheap feeling, once it goes on it is nice.  The gloss has a grapefruit scent/taste but is not sticky at all!  
  • Nastassja Skin - Enzyme Facial Peel:  This might be one of my favorite products in the box.  My skin has been up and down for the past few weeks and I am ready to try something like this peel to get a clean slate.  Regardless that I take my makeup off each night and even use an astringent before bed.... I still seem to get breakouts.  Sigh.  (Please don't be adult acne)
Does anyone else subscribe to Glossybox?  Did you get a different scent loofa soap or shea soufflé?  I would have loved the almond cookie soufflé or one of the MANY loot soap scents on Heartland's website.  I've seen that holiday boxes are some of the best, so I have high hopes for the next two months!
