Glossybox - April 2013

[rainpetal]

Got my box today and then got the tracking email after the box was delivered.  At least they tried.  Maybe I should have my box send to my office in DC all the time, it came so quickly.

I got:

Alterna - Boho Waves Tousled Texture Mist

Bvgari - Tea Bag for Bath (same scent as the soap from Feb I believe) The Honest Company - Lip Balm in sweet orange vanilla
Tigi - Glow Blush in Brillance
Wash with Joe - Body Wash
Le Metier de Beaute - sample of replenishing daily solution

The blush is beautiful, rosy with a gold shimmer, the lip balm smell great, and I like the scent of the bath bag and I'm moving in a few days to a place with a decent tub, so I'm looking forward to using all of these.

The only thing I probably won't use is the coffee body wash, but I bet my husband will love it.

Is everyone else still getting the glossy mag?  I've been a subscriber for 3 months and have only gotten the mag once.  I'm not missing it, just curious.

On the glossybox website it says "In honor of Earth Day, we‘re launching our fully shoppable magazine (online only, just for this month)." Thus, it appears that the magazine is online only this month for Earth Day.

Just read a few posts from RCB, it's like the Jerry Springer of talk shows... a sickly feeling while reading it but compelled to continue in search of greater lows or a ray of sunshine.

 

Gotta go read this now, I can't believe how crazy this sounds!

I would really like to try the body wash from this box if anyone is willing to trade

Many of you own products from cover girl, right? One of the products from April's box:

It's not a dupe, but very similar! Such an unique color, in love /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

The blush looks more coral-ish than pink-ish on my skin. It's pretttttty. The body wash smells like a mint frapp: delish. The honest co balm is tingly and aweeesooemmeme.
Happy girl here!

Is your balm tingly because it is mint?  I do not like mint flavored things, nor tingle action so it will go on my trade thread if that is the case!  TIA

I got my box!

I'm most excited about the hair mist, face cream, and shower gel.

I don't do lip balms, the blush looks too dark, and I'm not a big fan of the bulgari scent.
After trying out the hair mist on my fine hair, I've come to realize that there is a fine line between beautiful beach waves and coiffure de la crazy cat lady.  My hair is swaying toward the latter

. 

Also, when looking for a swatch of the blush in "Lovely", I read on some random blog that they could be used as an eyeshadow as well- both wet and dry!

I'm assuming it is tingly because of the mint, but since I haven't tried the other flavors--I'm not completely sure. You know those lip plumping glosses that sometimes have a minty tingle? That's kind of what it feels like at first (it goes away after a few minutes).

Thank you so much for the feedback!  That is exactly what I do not like about those plumping lip glosses, so if I get this particular one it will be a pass for me!  Guess I should cross my fingers for one of the other varities!

Yes! I read the same random blog. I think I will try that. The color I got is AWAKEN.

LOL re Hair Mist. I was actually disappointed I couldn't try it. (I have a Keratin treatment in my hair and need to stay away from products with Sodium), but now I am glad I must pass. My hair could go into crazy land on it's own thank you! Which is why I get a keratin treatment in the first place!

I got the Purely Simple and it has no tingle (or scent) whatsoever. I really like it! It's a nice simple hydrating lip balm.

I can't wait to receive my April box! In the meantime, I got a March box again because apparently, there was a shipment failure last month (I suppose that means I didn't get a March box, though I did). They also included a Pixi magic lip tint and a Fresh mattifying serum sample to make up for it. Thanks, Glossybox!

My box is in Nevada as of this morning so hopefully it will be here soon.  (I'm in California)  

I am loving what I'm seeing so far.  The lip balm sounds yummy.

I got mine, the coffeemint shower gel was exploded all over my box. I'm so disappointed, it smells fantastic but it made a giant mess with the paper confetti and was completely empty.
