Glossy Box June 2012 Reveal

Friday I received my 2^nd official Glossy Box in the mail. It was an extra exciting day because I had all my girlfriends over so they got to share in the excitement with me. And I totally convinced them to join the Glossy Box cult. They were sold before we even opened the box to reveal the contents.

Nicole is excited to see read what is in the box this month

This time I took photos of the box itself, and the content card. June’s box had a summer theme to it, sunscreen, beachy hair and smooth legs here I come!

The contents card

So without further ado, let’s explore this month’s package:

1)      Gillette Venus Embrace Razor – Summer isn’t summer without smooth legs! This razor is expensive, so the content card explains. I normally just buy the Bic packs of 4 and those seem to do the job so I was curious to see how this one worked. I tried this razor yesterday and was thoroughly impressed with the results!! I don’t think my legs have ever felt this smooth before. I am in love! I hope I can get a couple uses out of this one before I have to buy refill razors. But definitely a great product! Retail value - $13.43

2)      Wella Professionals Ocean Spritz – This was exactly what I needed. A few quick spritzes of this baby and you are ready to rock. I have used other beach hair products, but this one made my hair extra bouncy and more curly than usual. It didn’t weigh my hair down and felt like I had spent the day at the beach. I included some pics of the results. It says this is sold in salons and I believe it. Great results!! As you can tell, I used almost all my products within 24 hours of receipt, because I just couldn’t wait. Retail value - $16.99

3)      Biore Combination Skin Balancing Cleanser – I recently got a sample size of this in Lou Lou magazine and thought it worked great and wanted to buy some. No need to now because they sent a full size bottle! I can’t wait to use this. It makes your skin feel clean and refreshed.  Retail value -$9.99

Biore Cleanser

4)      Olay Regenerist Wrinkle Revolution Complex – Now I don’t have wrinkles yet, at least I hope not! But I used this today after my shower and it felt really smooth. I am hoping I can use it as a wrinkle preventative. It came in a really small 7mL tube, so I will probably only get a few uses out of it. If you want to buy the full 50mL tube, it is $30.99.

Olay Regenerist

5)      Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunscreen Lotion SPF 55 – Another small 14mL tube and good for a few uses. I will probably only use this on my face. I used it yesterday and It felt nice. The retail value for a 88mL tube is $15.99. I probably wouldn’t buy it though, just because the SPF is a little too high and I can get cheaper ones that work just as well for my entire body.

Neutrogena Sunscreen

6)      CoverGirl Flipstick Blendable Lip Duo – I saw this in the store the other day and wanted to try. It is a double sided lipstick with one side of colour and the other side for shimmer. I wasn’t too happy with the colour they sent – a dark brownish/bronze. It was a little too dark for my liking and made me look old when I put it on. Maybe I will give this one to my mom. I am not much of a lipstick wearer, unless I am on stage. I think I will stick to lipgloss. Retail value - $12.50.

Me wearing the FlipStick - Kind of severe

7)      Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strip – I am sure we have all used one of these before. A nice little bonus included in the box. Just one single strip which I am using right now as I write this blog. Goodbye pores!! Retail value for a box of 8 - $9.99.

So that was the review of the June 2012 box. I was quite impressed with the products and can’t wait for the July box. Maybe they will send me something extra special since it’s my birthday month. One can only hope!

Did you get the June 2012 Glossy Box, if so what did you think? Or would you consider getting a Glossy Box after the first 2 reviews?
