Birchbox & Glossybox USA: October 2012

Received both boxes last week. Guess what's missing? My ipsy bag. Apparently, USPS lost my package again. Grrr! Now, I have to wait for probably a week to get a replacement. Anywho, I also unsubscribed from Birchbox. I am more happier with the products that I'm getting from Glossybox. :)

Let's move on... ;)

Glossybox USA: June 2012

Hey everyone! This is going to be a really quick post. :) I recently tweeted that I'm in the process of moving to a different place. I got the Glossybox since Tuesday but since I am moving things around, I didn't get to post this. I am almost done moving and have only a few things left in the current apartment. :D 

What's inside the box:

1. BeautyAddicts Show-Off Mascara $20 full size

2. First Aid Beauty Smooth Shave Cream $16.50 full size

3. Kinerase Restructure Firming Cream $98.00 full size

4. Shea Terra Organics $18.00 full size

5. Wella Professionals Enrich Moisturizing Treatment $12.00 full size

Treat: Urban Organic from A Perfume Organic sample size fragrance $65 full size

Lots of goodies again in the June 2012 box! 

PS: I noticed a lot of girls get confused about Glossybox in terms of what month the box is. Apparently, Glossybox USA ships the boxes at the end of each month so we get them the next month. For example, this month's Glossbybox was shipped last week(end of June) so of course we would think that it would be the July box but no. It's the June box. It sucks how we get the boxes late though. :/
