-Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara
-Orly Polish in a hot pink shade
-a mini blush brush
-Être Belle Aloe Moisturizer
-The Aloe Company Hydrating Mask
Of these five things, I'll probably only use two of them. I'm big into using up all of my skincare items right now, so I'm not super thrilled to be getting more even though I know I'll use them eventually, but honestly the moisturizer and the mask are the only things in here that interest me.
I have no need for a tiny blush brush, though I'm sure for some people that would be nice, in my opinion I'd rather have another makeup, skincare or haircare sample.
The Orly polish...I'm sure it's not coming off this way in the photo but it is such an obnoxious shade of bright pink I want to throw it away immediately. I loathe that color and will never ever use it so I'm thinking of just donating it to someone I know. It's relatively disappointing as I'm fairly sure that one of the questions they ask you upon registering for Glossybox is if there are any colors you do not wear. I do not wear pink, I'm simply not a pink person and never will be.
The Too Faced mascara...I'm perhaps most upset about this one. I HATE this mascara. It is one of the worst I have ever used. It leaves my lashes super clumpy, feels really wet and gross upon application, flakes during the day and is just generally terrible. I'm so so sad to have gotten this because in my previous boxes I haven't gotten anything super well known, which is what I like so much about this subscription service. I like trying new random products that I've never heard of. And for this terrible mascara to show up in my subscription box...I'm just very disappointed with this month.
This is more of a rant than anything else, but I will say that before this month I have been SUPER happy and impressed with my boxes, they've had very nice products and interesting brands and stuff that I find myself wanting to use. And honestly, I'm sure there are people out there that would appreciate this box, but I'm simply not one of them. However, don't let my poor opinion of this one box stop you from looking into Glossybox if it interests you, I do really like it for the most part :) just wanted to share!

Ugh that stinks :( I too despise that mascara!! It does absolutely nothing for me. :( I ended up canceling ipsy because I was disappointed and re subscribed to birchbox, their point system and customer service is 100x better!!

Hmm, I've never considered Birchbox, I don't find their product lineup super impressive...but maybe I'll have another look, see if it's something I'm interested in. Ipsy, on the other hand, I've NEVER subscribed to, but I still get their emails no matter how many times I've hit unsubscribe.

I love birchbox for their point system! You do mini reviews each month and they give you point. Each 100 points is $10. I just ordered the Mary-Lou Manizer highlight for absolutely free (tax and shipping included)

That is an awesome promo! I have a two year subscription for cosmo mag and the only reason I have that is because sephora had a promo of if you spend $25+ you get a two year sub for free lol so I definitely understand the promos! haha
