Unboxing - Glossybox April 2014 - Review & Swatches + Coupon Code


Hello gorgeous makeup junkies! I wanted to jump on here real quick to share my April Glossybox. Now I know we're already in May, but I always get last month's box on the first of the next month; which is a little annoying, but whatever at least it's here! Just keep reading to see what I received this month!!

What It Is: "GLOSSYBOX is a beauty discovery platform. Every month, we deliver five hand-picked beauty products straight to your doorstep".

What's Included: "Every month, we curate a selection of high-end, niche, and trendy beauty products in full or deluxe travel sizes to be included in your GLOSSYBOX".

Cost: $21/month, $60/3 months, $115/6 months, $220/12 months


What I received:

Aqua Spa Relax Body Creme- Lavender + Chamomile
Full Size: $10.00 / 9 OZ
Lavish skin with an ultra-rich conditioning body lotion that banishes dry skin while diminishing the signs of aging with Marine Youth Complex. Relax your body and mind with an aromatic blend of lavender and chamomile for calming relief.

-Deluxe Sample Size. I'm LOVING this lotion! It's rich, but absorbs nicely, leaving my skin soft and moisturized but not greasy at all. Besides how it feels, the scent is absolutely beautiful. You definitely smell the lavender and chamomile, which are two of my favorite scents. It's very comforting and relaxing, which I totally need. This is going straight into my purse and I also think I may buy the full size to keep in my bathroom, because I just really love it.

BellaPierre Cosmetics Super Gloss- Vanilla Pink

Full Size: $24.50 / .32 FL OZ
This lip gloss is made with natural ingredients and enriched with Vitamin E, jojoba, avocado and sunflower waxes. It is infused with a natural plumper, which helps minimize fine lines on and around the lips.

-Full Size. Like I've said before, I'm not the hugest fan of lip gloss, but I really like this one. It has a thin, smooth consistency, isn't sticky on the lips, and gives your lips a hint of color. The color is a neutral rosy tone with a very fine shimmer in it, that doesn't feel gritty at all. I don't find that it physically plumps my lips, but it does give you the illusion of fuller lips which I prefer. 


Caldrea Body Wash- No 3 Coconut Fig Leaf
Full Size: $18.00 / 11.5 FL OZ
Emerge from the shower with smooth, radiant, and renewed skin! Infused with brightening , free-radical fighting angelica root and linden flower extracts, Caldrea Body Wash is a perfectly sudsing, softly scented way to greet the day.

-Deluxe Sample Size. I haven't gotten to try this out yet, but I will admit that when I first pulled this out the box I was like, "Seriously another dang body wash, I get one every stinking month", but once I smelled it I actually got excited about it. The body wash smells like pure coconut deliciousness!

Ciate London Paint Pot- Beach Hut


Full Size: $15.00 / 0.45 OZ
Ciate uses a combination of professional and lovingly chosen high performance formulas. The beautiful and sophisticated packaging encourages an incredibly artistic and effortless nail painting experience.

-Full Size. This is my first ever Ciate  polish and now that I've tried one, I want more! This polish is a gorgeous orange/gold/copper, that is super shimmery and beautiful. It has a thin consistensy, but went on totally opaque in two coats; which is sometimes hard to find when you have shimmery polishes like this. I'm really happy with this Ciate polish and I know this is going to be one of my favorite Summer polishes, because the color and shimmer are going to look beautiful buried in the sand!

LASplash Eyeshadow Sealer/Base
Full Size: $9.00 / .3 FL OZ
This product intensifies color and provides extra protection against smears and smudges for flawless 12-hour wear. Apply a very light coat of the sealer/base to the area intended for glitter or shimmer (across entire and up to the brow bone). To avoid creasing, use only what is on the wand.
-Full Size. Let me first start off by saying that this product is, and has been for years, my go-to glitter and pigment adhesive. I find that this sealer/base locks in any glitter, loose shadow, or shimmery pressed shadow and keeps it in place and crease-free all day for me. Now I have normal/dry eyelids, so I don't deal with all that much creasing to begin with, but I have used this in the hot and humid Southern Louisiana Summer and had not a bit of creasing and I have always found that it keeps my shadows looking bright. I apply a thin layer wherever I'm going to apply the shadow or glitter, then I pat the shadow/glitter right on top using a brush or my fingers. I was running low on my personal bottle, so I am super happy I got a new one from Glossybox

Final Thoughts: I have to be honest, when I first opened this box and saw the body wash, lotion, and lip gloss I really thought I wasn't going to be that impressed. However, after playing around with everything I have to say that I'm very happy with all the products. I honestly love everything I received, which proves you have to try things out before you judge them. I was trying to pick a favorite product, but I couldn't pick just one. I really love the lip gloss, lotion, nail polish, and of course the sealer/base but I haven't actually used the body wash yet so that could be another favorite lol. I guess what I'm trying to say, is that I'm just really happy with April's box  and can't wait to see what I receive in May's box, which is a Bergdorf Goodman box.

Coupon Code: Use the code "SHINE" to receive a free Too Faced Glamour Gloss with your Glossybox subscription.
