Glossybox: January 2014

Although I got my first Glossybox a week into February, I really loved this box! First do all...the packaging is so adorable.  I am going to sVe up a couple boxes and make this adorable drawer thing out of them.  Got the idea on Pinterest of course! 
Well here is my box:
-So I got a very large sample of the BCBGMAXAZRIA perfume (see the pic of the sample above to see the size...the one in the booklet they sent).  It is not my favorite, but I like it enough to wear it. It had a very strong floral scent.
-I also got a beautyblender  and a solid cleanser (full size).  This is my favorite thing in the whole box. I've been wanting to try it since I keep,seeing it all over the internet. It is the most soft, dense beauty sponge that doesn't absorb your makeup like crazy like the triangle wedges do. I highly recommend this item.  
-I also got a bellapierre mineral blush (full size) It's a pretty rosy color. I'll be using it every day. 
-Next I got a travel size Tony & Guy Hair Meets Wardrobe Sea Salt Spray. It smells great and leaves that awesome ocean/beachy texture in your hair like that you get at the beach. 
-I got a decent size VICHY Aqualia Thermal face lotion (the booklet nor packaging said it was for your face, I had to look it up). It is thick...good for winter skin. A bit on the expensive side. Probably won't be buying this. 
- the last item in my box was a free lipstick I got from a coupon code when I signed up for the box.  It is a Glossybox lipstick...a medium pink color. 
I liked my first month of Glossy! Looking forward to next month! (Or hopefully this month since it IS February!

Lightweight, creamy texture immediately merges with lips & delivers intense glossy colour for an extremely long-lasting finish!
Application     Ingredients    The box is $10. This lip gloss is $16... Already over the price of the bag! I'm excited to try this product!

Julep January 2014- the Dramatic Collection

I got the "Modern Beauty" box this month. 
Julep came out with a liquid eyeshadow and it was included in my box. I love it! I got the "Pale Nude Shimmer". It's beautiful!

The other item I got is their "Black ink Gel" liquid eyeliner. I got an Angled Liner Brush with it.  The brush is awesome! It feels like the handle is metal...it's heavy and feels like it is a good quality brush.
  I also got a bonus item, which each box gets this month.  I got the nailpolish "Love".
