GLOSSYBOX May 2015 Review (c/o)
In May, GLOSSYBOX is partnering up with CosmoBody to provide subscribers a month-long CosmoBody subscription in addition to giving a box of products chosen by CosmoBody’s trainers.
There was a good range of beauty products in this month’s box, ranging from hair to skin to makeup. You know I’m partial to makeup, so I kinda wish there was more haha. However, I did like that there was a mix of high-end brands with a few less known ones.
My box included:
- Teeez Trend Cosmetics Head Over Heels Nail Lacquer
- Doucce Mineral Matt Lipstick
- Clearista Retexturizing Gel
- GLAMGLOW POWERMUD Dualcleanse Treatment
- Sebastian Professional Stylbrid 9
I liked the Teeez’s nail polish formula and brush. I needed two coats to get full opacity and the rounded brush made it really easy to paint around my cuticles. I didn’t really care for the muted peachy nude shade, but I think it would look better on other skin tones.
The Doucce Mineral Matte Lipstick looked really nice in the bullet but the application was a bit disappointing. I found the bullet itself really hard and it was difficult to apply on the lips. It barely provided any pigmentation and felt more like a balm.
I love love love exfoliating, so I enjoyed trying out the Clearista Retexturizing Gel. Like the name states, it’s in a gel formula with very soft round beads. Instead of traditional exfoliants where you wash it off, you just need to wipe this one off. The application is gentle, so if you have sensitive skin, I highly recommend trying it.
The Sebastian Professional Stylbrid 9 is a lightweight hairspray that has UV protection, adds volume, texture, and shine. I have to admit, I don’t use hairspray that often unless I’m going out to an event so I’ll be the first to admit I’m not a hair product expert. I liked the added texture when I sprayed it into my hair, but other than that, I didn’t really notice a difference in anything else.
Oh GLAMGLOW…it’s one of my skin’s saviors during that time of the month. I regularly use the YOUTHMUD and SUPERMUD and it works wonders – seriously! But if those masks make your skin feel a little too tight, this is your solution, It’s a clay mask that emulifies into an oil when your start rinsing it off so your skin is left soft and hydrated.
On a side note, I’m super determined to get more fit for the summer (not eating chocolate is so hard!!!). Just checked out some videos from the CosmoBody FB page and they’re super useful, so don’t forget to take a look at those videos if you’re on a health kick like me.

That looks like a great box, I would have loved to receive a sample of the GlamGlow! I currently have their Thirsty Mud which is great for my dehydrated skin, but this one looks like it’d be great for when my skin is a little congested! xx
