Glossybox: July 2012

During the Olympics, Glossybox was holding a twitter contest. I was lucky enough to win one of them. It's been a while, and then today, I saw that pink box outside. I have seen photos recently, of the most current Glossybox, and it looks amazing. I believe, it includes an Ellis Faas product, and a full size Illamasqua nail polish. I have been interested in testing out both of these brands. I did not receive these products, but rather I received the July 2012 Glossybox as my winning prize. I am not sure, if everyone receives the same products or not.

I received:
Alessandro International: Pedix Heel Rescue Balm
Sebastian: Color Ignite Multi Toner Shampoo
Sebestian: Color Ignite Multi Tone Conditioner
Figs & Rouge: Lip, Face, Body Balm
Senna Cosmetics: Mineral Eyes Shadow Trio
Ruddy Water: Blushed fragrance


I am not familiar with most of these brands, aside from the Sebestian hair products. It's nice to try out brands/products, that I might have not otherwise.

Thanks Glossybox!

Nail Polish: Deborah Lippmann (Just Dance, Bad Romance, Shape of My Heart

Last week, Nordstrom was running a promo Buy 2 get 1 free on Deborah Lippmann & Butter London Polishes. I have a few Butter London polishes, so I thought this was a good time to try out some Lippmann polishes, since I haven't before. I decided to take the plunge, because each bottle would come out to be around $11. Which compared to OPI, Essie, etc. is not that bad. I must say I am a fan of the bottles, and the brush. So far I have tried out Just Dance, and love how the glitter is not chunky. Next, I am excited to try out Shape of my Heart. I am always on the search for a perfect pale pink. Usually, they are too sheer, but this one appears like it will not be. Overall, I am very happy to finally get my hands on some Lippmann polishes.



Bad Romance, Shape of My Heart, Just Dance
