Glymm December & Glymm Stocking Stuffer Bags

So these are a little late in being posted - I actually got the bags in the mail last week.. Early last week? I don't remember.

Anyways, I think I am done with Glymm. Maybe I'll give it one more month but they don't wow me anymore.

This month's "bag" was a fun gold colour and I have been using the other few I have as pencil cases thus far.

The December bag contained:


  • Lashem Eyelash & Brow Enhancing Serum
    Sample size (6 weeks) Full size: 4.2 ml $70
  • Lashem False Lashes
    Full Size: $5.00
  • Suncoat Nail polish
    Full Size: $9.99
  • Glamorous Pallette
    Full Size: $4.50-$9.50
  • *Bonus* Cauladie Nourishing Body Lotion
  • Random card for $10 to the Glymm store (would have been awesome if I got one of the larger ones though)
Overall I suppose the contents are things I will use.
I would like the lash serum to last longer than just 6 weeks though, as that's when the results are supposed to show.
The false lashes; if I can get them on (I don't know if they'll last with the glue already on them) will be fun.
The palette has a couple of colours I like
The nail polish I have heard comes off really easily; maybe a base and top coat will help that.
Finally the "free gift" for not cancelling was just another sample thrown in; it's actually the thing I don't like the most.

Next I purchased the "Stocking Stuffer" bag.

I believe I am missing the Bert's Bees sample and have emailed them about it.
Overall I'm happy - the bag included a $40 gift card to the Glymm store so it was worth the purchase for $35 I spent on the bag.

All except the Lash card & the Cyberderm samples, the rest are new to me so that's fun.

Glossybox November

Again it seems I am near the first to get this month's Glossybox - and it is my last.
I gave it a shot but at $21 a month I wasn't wowed last month so I cancelled.


This month's theme is Christmas; the card talked about how this month's box contains goodies to get us ready to sparkle and shine.
Also apparently 50 people got a Golden Ticket item being TOVA jewelry - I was not that lucky.






I received Box # 1 (right hand corner of the product card here's what it contained:



  • Nicole by OPI Khardashian Kolor Holiday Shades (A gold Winter's Night) FULL SIZE (15 ml $10.99) 
  • Kryolan For Glossybox Blusher in Glossy Pink FULL SIZE (2.59g $16.73)
  • Nexxus Salon Hair Care: Hydration Kit Full Size: Shampoo 400 ml $9.99 Conditioner 400 ml $14.99
    Sample Size: 89ml Value: $2.22 & $3.33
  • Vitabath FULL SIZE (170 g $15.00-$18.00)
  • Maybelline MNY My Gloss FULL SIZE (9 ml $7.49)

Curel Hand & Cuticle Therapy Cream
Curel Hand & Cuticle Therapy Cream soothes even the driest hands on contact and continues to moisturize even through repeated hand washings for all-day softness.

Overall I was impressed with this month's box - it's total value was $62.75, and it contained 5 out of the six products were full size though the lip gloss looks rather small.
I am happy with pretty much everything in the box, I enjoy shampoo samples but it seems like every box is using them lately, and the body wash smells interesting.
The uber card I will not be using - the shipping is $12 (at least for one item) but if someone would like my code I can send it to you. Just ask. :)

If you are new to Glossybox and would like to sign up you can here and you can save something... not sure if it's $10 off your first 2 boxes or not I saw that somewhere... using GLOSSY42 as a promo code.

What did you think - and was your box different?
