Glymm Box is a beauty sample subscription service for Canadians, similar to Birchbox, Glossybox, etc. I was super excited about receiving my first Glymm Box after seeing rave reviews online. Most people had at least one full-size product in theirs! As you may be able to see, I lucked out and received not one, not two, but THREE full-size products! Needless to say, I plan to permanently cancel my Birchbox subscription and stick with Canadian Glymm Box from now on. Check out what I got below. I didn't review the jelly beans, but they are a cute addition and black and orange for Halloween!
1. Lise Watier Lip Kiss Crayon Gloss in Rouge Flamenco (full-size, retail $18)
I already own one of these glosses and was really hoping my box contained another! And it did! These glosses and creamy, but glide on beautifully with a shiny, non-sticky finish. They are also twist up, which is a big bonus. Rouge Flamenco is a true, foiled red; not for everyday, but nice for a night out. This is a perfect Christmas lip colour!
2. Principessa Bacio Lip Balm (full-size, retail $11)
I heard of the brand Principessa a long time ago, but never did try anything. I love the name; it means "princess" in Italian and I'm Italian so it's already getting major points from me. It has a sweet, albeit slightly chemical smell and taste. It seems much more like a gloss, but so far it's nice!
3. Caudalie Premier Cru Cream (sample, retail $150)
Yes, you read that right: this cream's full-size counterpart is worth 150 bones! I've never put moisturizer that expensive and excited about this luxurious little treat. It doesn't seem to have a scent and feels nice and creamy. I would probably never buy the full-size, but it's fun to try!
4. Vasanti Micronized Silk Eyeshadow in Tokyo (full-size, retail $15)
Another full-size! And it's a gorgeous eyeshadow - score! I've never tried Vasanti but quite like this shadow. It's a deep plum, full of golden shimmer, and applies beautifully. Glymm actually suggested that I try this as a blush, which is brilliant. It reminds me of NARS Sin, theBalm Cabana Boy, etc. I'm going to wear this on my cheeks today and see how it goes!
And here's swatches of the eyeshadow, lip crayon and lip balm:
Like I said, I'm blown away by this month's Glymm Box! Three full-size products, totaling to a value of $44 - that's amazing. I will definitely be coming back for November's box and hope it is just as wonderful.
Did you get an October Glymm Box? What is your fave subscription box?
