May 2012 GLOSSYBOX!!! Box Opening

Wow! Ya'll! What an amazing GLOSSYBOX! Ya'll may remember that I had the chance to review GLOSSYBOX's special Blogger Inaugural USA box a few weeks ago? That was a special one-time box sent to bloggers to celebrate the launch of GLOSSYBOX in the USA. That box was fabulous! So, of course I subscribed! The GLOSSYBOX featured in this post is my first of the monthly subscription boxes.


What is GLOSSYBOX?
GLOSSYBOX is the newest beauty sample subscription service to come to the USA. GLOSSYBOX is actually a world leader in the monthly beauty sample box market. GLOSSYBOX has been a phenomenal success across the globe and is available in 19 countries! Now it is finally in the USA! Like other beauty sample services, you pay a monthly fee and get a box of 5 deluxe beauty samples (one of which they promise will be full-sized). The difference? GLOSSYBOX is on the expensive side at $21.00 per month. Yes, that is more than double the price of Birchbox (which is still my favorite beauty sample subscription at $10 per month!). For the $21.00 price, I am expecting this box to really deliver!

I really can't compare the GLOSSYBOX directly to Birchbox since GLOSSYBOX is more than double the price. Lets just say that I have higher expectations for the quality and content of the box items in GLOSSYBOX with the high price. The Bottom Line: I need to get my money's worth. But, that is not why I subscribe to these services! I want the *experience* of opening a beautiful and luxurious box filled with unique, special, and high end beauty treats. Some beauty sample services deliver this spot-on, like Birchbox. Some do not (cough, MyGlam). I want the pretty packaging! I want the trill of opening a beautiful box filled with surprises. It is like getting a present; and, lol, I love presents! :)

What is inside the box? Is it worth the cost? Keep reading to find out!
