So I thought it'd be a great idea to start at the same time this new year came to visit us and today, yes today! I got my very first box!
Now I have to admit I wasn't blown away with the contents but I am still thrilled like a little kid with a new toy. I had been receiving Birch Boxes for a while a couple of years ago but sadly, because they were shipping to an APO, I would receive my box about 6 weeks after they shipped and we encountered several bump along the way. So unfortunately I had to unsubscribe (also the fact that they were starting to send me food annoyed the crap out of me).

So! Here it is; I like the packaging a lot. It really does give a sense of good customer's service, someone sat down and invested their time in packaging this, the bow, the sticker with the logo, how the items are strategically placed in the box, the whole thing screams "I care". And that is something vital for a company like this to depict, people enjoy unwrapping a presents on Christmas because it gives us the sentiment that someone cares and took their time with YOU. And we humans are naturally selfish.
The item I enjoyed the most were the Vintage Cosmetic Company Tweezers (their website is badass!) which are very similar to Tweezerman style tweezers. The detail and colour was adorable.
The item I truly disliked was the Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream which OK so yeah, it's good for the skin... if you can get over the smell, that the packaging looks cheap, the fact the sample sent was enough for one foot and that's probably why I was sent 2.
The product that made me think "Dafuq?" Vaseline essential moisture.... Seriously, I already buy this every time I get a new tattoo after a week or so of using the recommended ointment. I was kinda sad I got it to be completely honest. As I just mentioned a line ago, I already purchase this often enough like to have paid for a deluxe sample I already carry around in my purse.
And last but not least; I'm actually looking forward to trying the Anatomicals Puffy the Eye Bag Slayer eye patches because I DO get puffy eyes very easily. And this is why I subscribed to this, to try new beauty products I could possibly repurchase on it's own.
All in all it wasn't a complete disappointment but it wasn't mind blowing. YES, I am still excited about receiving Glossybox every month and I'm looking forward to see how things develop. Could go great or could turn shitty :) Oh the suspense!
