Glossybox February 2018 #GLOSSYkisses Review



Glossybox-February-2018.jpeg
Glossybox February 2018 is ready for lots of kisses.


Despite the depressing, never-ending snow, my day brightened the other day when the latest Glossybox arrived.  The theme for February 2018 from this beauty subscription box is #GLOSSYkisses to make most of Valentine’s Day beauty!

If you have been thinking of subscribing to a beauty box and are trying to narrow your choices down, then let me tell you the advantages of Glossybox.  What I love is each box has at least five full and larger sample sizes of luxury brands of makeup, skin and body care, hair products, fragrances to tools for just $21.00 a month and free USA shipping.  Furthermore, I never saw a box better packaged than the way Glossybox does there with an outer box protecting the pretty pink interior box to secure all your beauty goodies. You also get a huge sheet with photos and details about each product in your monthly assortment along with any special deals with a coupon code.  

Now that I piqued your curiosity, let me dive right into what you may see in your February 2018 box.  However, I do want to remind you that Glossybox sends out several different assortments each month.  Some of the products that you see here will be the same; however others may be different, but of the same value.  Regardless, I'm sure that you'll probably love it just as I do.  Check out below.


Glossybox February 2018

1.  John Masters Organics Body Wash (2.0 oz. Sample)----------------------$6.50
2.  John Masters Organics Body Milk (2.0 oz. Sample)-------------------------$6.50
3.  Royal Apothic Scrubbie Exfoliated Lip Treatment (Full Size)-------------$14.00
4.  Doucce Lush Lip Gloss (Full Size)------------------------------------------------$22.00
5.  JJ Young Mud Sheet Mask (1 Mask)-----------------------------------------------$5.00
6.  Pick And Pinch Pink Metallic Slant Tweezer -----------------------------------$20.00


Total Approximate Value: $74.00!


Both John Masters Organics Body Wash and Body Milk came in the scent of Geranium & Grapefruit.  This is fresh, but a sweeter citrus due to the floral that was lovely for sudsing as well as leaving a subtle scent when moisturizing with this lightweight lotion.  Starting your day with this duo can definitely lift up a bleak mood, which I appreciated.  Using Glossybox18 you can get 20% off any order at John Masters website if you order before April 15.

The Royal Apothic Scrubbie Lip Treatment has a deliciousness about it.  It is made of natural sugar, fig extract and oils that moisturize as well as exfoliates.  My lips were smooth and tasty.

The Doucce Lush Lip Gloss that I received was in Glistening Petals.  This is a medium warm pink with a delicate shimmer that is so versatile.  I will get lots of use of this one. It also feels good on the lips with plenty of lubrication.

I didn’t get a chance to try the JJ Young Mud Pore Green Tea Mud Sheet Mask yet because of prior skin care testing commitments, but will treat my complexion to a detox with this Korean skin care mask very soon.  Besides green tea, it also has rose hip and charcoal to purge pores of impurities while helping to restore moisture.

I also got the Pick And Pinch Pink Metallic Slant Tweezer.  This product I will be giving away to my neighbor’s daughter because I have no use for a tweezer since my brows are professionally done.  They do have a pretty rose-gold finish and look angled enough to grab onto tiny hairs.

Overall, it was a good box with a $74.00 value.  My only disappointment was finding the tweezer instead of a product that I would use since I have no use for one.  Nonetheless, it will be going to a good home where it can be appreciated. What do you think of Glossybox February 2018? 

For $21.00 you get $74.00 worth of beauty is a great deal to me.  Check this luxury beauty subscription out and all they have to offer at the Glossybox website.

Goodbeing Natural Beauty/Lifestyle Subscription Box November 2017 Review

Goodbeing-November-2017-box.jpeg
November 2017 was a great month with a $71.30 value.

The products that we use for beauty and our lives shouldn’t need to give us reason for concern.  Unfortunately, they sometimes do with formulas than may contain less than healthy ingredients.  However, Goodbeing Natural Beauty/Lifestyle Subscription can be the answer to help lead you to safer product choices.

Each Goodbeing box contains four to five full and sample size products for a cost of $24.95, which includes free USA shipping.  The exciting part is you also get to pick two of those monthly products that you want in your box from an available list.

Besides lovely color, this pencil glides on nicely.

What else is nice that you don’t have to start subscribing to that basic box. The company also offers a $9.95 a month mini box that has two products, if that is what you prefer.

This blush shade is Sweetheart.


Shopping through Goodbeing makes me to feel better about what I’m using whether for my face and body or for my home.  For example, here is what was in my new November box. 



Goodbeing Standard Box November 2017



1.  KVossNYC Nourish MagiK Shimmer Body Lotion–Full Size------------------------$28.00
2.  Poethique Radiance Boosting Serum (0.5 oz. Sample)------------------------------$27.50
3.  Plaine Products Body Wash (2.5 oz. Sample)--------------------------------------------$4.30
4.  Alima Pure Natural Definition Eye Pencil (Full Size)-----------------------------------$18.00
5.  Au Naturale Cosmetics The Anywhere Creme Blush (no stated size sample)–$4.00?


Total Approximate Value:  $71.30!


The KvossNYC MagiK Shimmer Body Lotion gives the skin a delicate and brightening golden glow as it supplies the body with moisturizing and ingredients for skin renewal such as grapeseed oil, shea butter and avocado butter in its formula. It is a pampering experience and perfect for using to highlight shoulders and cleavage.

The Poethique Radiance Boosting Serum was one that I didn’t get the opportunity to test.  Right now, my face is testing another product.  Due to its exfoliating abilities with its caviar limes that are abundant with AHAs and wild plums for promoting skin renewal, I am eager to use this one in the near future.

Plaine Products Body Wash is in Rosemary-Mint-Vanilla. This has a herbal-mint fragrance and was comforting to cleanse with.  It produced decent lather and provided gentle clean without robbing the skin’s natural oils.

The Alima Pure Natural Definition Eye Pencil was one of my picks.  I selected the Indigo (gleaming midnight blue) shade.  Having dark brown eyes, this color contrasted well and emphasized my eyes more than you might imagine.   Try going out of your comfort zone and find the shades on a color wheel opposite of your eye color and you’ll really make your eyes rock.

Au Naturale Cosmetics makes great stick blush.  Being the case, this was my second pick of the month.  You might want to read my review and see swatches.  The color Sweetheart is soft nude mauve, which is wonderful with my light warm complexion.  The blush came in a pot without any specified size so I just estimated the amount which could be more or less.

Have you tried a subscription to Goodbeing yet? Isn’t it time to treat yourself?  Check this box out at the company’s website because you will love them.

Glossybox November 2017 Review

Glossybox-november-2017.jpeg
Grateful is the theme for Glossybox November 2017.


With bright lights and festive decorations, the holidays are always magical and a time that you want your look to sparkle.  In the spirit of the season, this month’s assortment of beauty from Glossybox can help with that goal. 

What I find so appealing about their beauty subscription box is how thought out their boxes are for variety and appealing luxury brands.  Every Glossybox has at least five full and larger sample sizes of top brands of makeup, skin care, body and hair care, nail products, fragrances to tools for only $21.00 a month and free shipping within the USA.  Also, I love the big informational sheet with plenty of large photos to fully explain and demonstrate the product along with any special deals with a coupon code.

Once again, Glossybox was right on the mark for their November picks. Just for the record, the company sends out several different boxes each month so what you may see here may be slightly altered with a product or two than your own box might have. However, replacements always have around the same value.  Here is what my particular box contained this month.  


Glossybox November 2017


1.  Tarte Cosmetics Tarteist Brow Gel (Full Size)---------------------------------------$19.00
2.  Evio Beauty Green Tea Primer (Full Size)---------------------------------------------$29.50
3.  Kat Von D Beauty Eau de Parfum (0.17 fl. oz. Sample)-----------------------------$6.50
4.  Laqa & Co. Cloud Lips Airy Matte Lipstick (Full Size)-------------------------------$17.00
5.  Nature Queen Shampoo & Conditioner (Sample Sizes 3.38 oz. each)-----------$8.14


Total Approximate Value: $80.14!

The Tarte Cosmetics Tarteist Brow Gel is a clear gel that tames any wayward brows without excess stiffness or flaking issues.  This water-infused formula has a great little brush to work with.

The Evio Beauty Green Tea Primer is healthy green tea plus an avocado oil formula that is infused with antioxidants.  The consistency is in between a gel and a lotion.  I thought it was lightweight, but hydrating and made a wonderful base for keeping foundation fresher and wearing longer.

Kat Von D Beauty Saint Eau de Parfum was fresh floral with vanilla, musk and jasmine.  It comes off  romantic and very feminine.  Some boxes got the Sinner perfume, a spicier fragrance.  I never smelled that one, but I really loved the one I got.

The Laqa & Co. Cloud Lips Airy Matte Lipstick was in the shade of Daydream.  This is the same beautiful medium pink-mauve everyone can expect to get in their box.  This lipstick is well-pigmented, creamy and comforting with its beneficial conditioning ingredients such as avocado oil and vitamin E.  It also stays put for long-lasting wear without feeling heavy on the lips.

Nature Queen Shampoo and Conditioner are aromatic blends with their herb infused formulas for nourishing, stimulating, disinfecting hair and the scalp.  My hair was a lot shinier with more bounce to it.  

My favorites this month have to the Saint Perfume, the Laqa Lipstick and the Green Tea Primer, which feels more like a skin treatment than primer. Did you get your Glossybox yet?  If not, why are you waiting?  Check this beauty subscription box out because it is a great way to satisfy your beauty addiction!

Goodbeing Natural Beauty/Lifestyle Subscription Box October 2017 Review

*Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Goodbeing-October-2017-box.jpeg
This month I found $65.40 worth of natural beauty in the October 2017 Goodbeing box.


Anyone trying to find healthier beauty and sustainable living products to better your life would find a natural beauty/lifestyle subscription box helpful.  With one such as Goodbeing, you can become acquainted with new natural brands to start you on your way.

Each month Goodbeing sends out a box with four to five full and sample size products for $24.95 and free USA shipping.  You also get to pick two products that will go into your box, which really helps improve your odds of getting items that you’ll love.

If you want a smaller assortment, you can opt for the $9.95 a month mini box with two products instead.  You can specify the standard natural beauty box or the lifestyle box such as what I was sent for October 2017. 

Goodbeing Standard Box October 2017 

1.  Afterspa Sleep Mask–(Full Size)-----------------------------------------------------------$12.00
2.  Orglamix Miracle Worker Color Correcting Cream (Full Size)-----------------------$18.00
3.  Oneself Organics Hawaiian Flower Lei Perfume ( 2ml Sample)---------------------$9.80
4.  Modicum #3 Essential Serum (10ml Sample)-------------------------------------------$21.60
5.  Isa’s Restoratives Immortelle Beauty Balm (1/8 oz. Sample)-------------------------$4.00

Total Approximate Value: $65.40!


Afterspa Sleep Mask can fit any head.  It’s light, contours to the eyes and fastens in place with velcro.

The Orglamix Miracle Worker Color Correcting Cream is to hide skin problems and brighten without any harmful ingredients such as parabens, sulfates, phthalates, petrochemicals, and synthetic fragrances.  This warm yellow cream has a light consistency that can be built up while covering imperfections in multiple areas from under eye darkness to redness quite well.

Oneself Organics Hawaiian Flower Lei Perfume is the easiest way to experience the welcoming floral scent of  tropical paradise.  I just wish it was a larger size.

Modicum #3 Essential Serum was a great skin care find for hydrating and anti-aging. This intensive serum was packed with superb ingredients such as sea buckthorn berry oil, black cumin seed oil, rose damascus, and Helichrysum oil.           

Isa’s Restoratives Immortelle Beauty Balm is another winning facial skin care discovery.  It has sea buckthorn and is rich with capuacu butter from the Amazon rainforest, murumuru, Helichrysum among other beneficial ingredients.  This anti-aging balm restores moisture, helps heal inflammation and renew cells to promote a younger complexion. You apply this balm a bit differently by warming a small amount between your hands first before patting into your skin.  

I really thought it a nice box with excellent value.  The skin care was my favorite this month. The sleep mask was the only product that I could have done without. I will be giving that a cousin that uses them.  I, on the other hand, just need to close my eyes and I’m good.

If you’re serious about escaping chemicals in beauty and life, I recommend Goodbeing on your journey.  Check them out!

orglamix-september 2017-box.jpeg
This month has a $64 value of natural beauty.


The other day my second natural beauty and cruelty-free subscription box from Orglamix arrived with the September 2017 assortment.  This is a wonderful way to experience anywhere from four to six safer mineral makeup and natural skin care beauty products for a mere $29 a month box that includes free shipping. Some of these items you will be able to find in the Orglamix shop while others are custom ones from their company just for that particular box.

Glossybox September 2017 Review

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**


Glossybox September 2017.jpeg
The September box is geared for runaway chic beauty!


Beauty fanatics that can’t get enough beauty would adore a subscription box.  Instead of constantly checking out stores or shopping online, a great beauty box like Glossybox can simplify your life by doing the hard work without you leaving home.

For a mere $21 a month and free USA shipping, Glossybox does all that legwork by finding at least five full and larger sample sizes of the latest luxury beauty brands of makeup, skin, body and hair care, nail products to fragrances and tools to discover.  Each box also comes with a sheet about that month’s selection of products and any special deals with a coupon code.

Glossybox August 2017 Review

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**


Glossybox August 2017.jpeg
The August box is a nice month of beauty to stay cool through summer.


If you are addicted to beauty products, then meeting up with a great beauty subscription box is the way to go.  One in particular that I happen to love is Glossybox that features at least five full and larger sample sizes of luxury brands of skin, body and hair care, makeup, nails, etc. in each pink box for just $21 a month and free USA shipping.  This box also arrives with an info sheet about the products and any special deals with a coupon code.

Stay cool happens to be the theme of Glossybox August 2017 with beauty geared to refreshing your total summer look.  Before I share what my box brought, I want to remind you that Glossybox sends different variations so what I got may not necessarily be what you will receive.  Some products will be the same in all boxes, but a few may change.  Here’s what my latest box contained below.


Glossybox August 2017

1.  Pixi by Petra Brow Tamer (Sample .15 fl. oz.)-------------------------------------------------$7.50
2.  Doucee x Glossybox Freematic Blush in Vintage Mauve (Full Size Mono)----------$14.00
3.  Beautiful Nutrition Lemon Rinse Gentle Clarifying Treatment (Sample 2 oz.)--------$2.40
4.  Lancome Paris Monsieur Big Mascara (Sample 0.06 oz.)----------------------------------$2.50
5.  Sesha Skin Therapy Botanical Hydro Mask (Full Size)------------------------------------- $9.00
6.  Bliss Fabulous Foaming Face Wash (Sample 2 oz.)-----------------------------------------$7.00



Total Estimated Value: $42.40

The Pixi by Petra Brow Tamer offers mild control to keep brows in line.  Ever since I had my brows professionally done through electrolysis, I don’t need the same maintenance as before. I have one misbehaving hair on one brow that does bother me so I do like a clear gel like this to control it.   

The Douccee x Glossybox Freematic Blush sent was to complete the July duo palette.  I received Vintage Mauve, which is ideal with my fair to light, warm coloring. I wear a lot of mauves!  It packs a lot of mostly matte pigment with a slight shimmer. 

The Beautiful Nutrition Lemon Rinse Gentle Clarifying Treatment is a product that I used before.  I like to use it before coloring my hair to make sure all styling products are gone.

I was excited to get the new Lancome Paris Monsieur Big Mascara that was released.  I had been wanting to try this one and was debating whether to buy it when I found it in this box. This sample size is perfect because it can travel well when I pack my bag for vacation.

Sesha Skin Therapy Botanical Hydro Mask has skin nourishing botanicals such as cucumber, aloe and plenty of hyaluronic acid to restore and rejuvenate a sun-abused complexion.  I don’t worship the sun now that I know the dangers it can cause. Still, I have a dry complexion that always needs a moisture boost. After I applied this mask to my clean face, I left it on and relaxed for about thirty minutes.  Once I took it off and rinsed, my face felt ever so soft and pampered.

The Bliss Fabulous Foaming Face Wash is a lemon-scented cleanser that dissolves grime and makeup with rose hip extract, milk thistle and chamomile before rinsing away with water. It is supposed to have exfoliating action as well. Judging by the feel, it is a very gentle type of abrasion that is hard to detect.  Yet, it is great for sensitive skin like mine and cleans the face well.

The value of this month may have been less than a few past boxes, but it was still a pleasing box with outstanding products!  Have you tried Glossybox yet?  Check them out!

Glossybox July 2017.jpeg
Glossybox July 2017 brings tropical beauty delights for summer.  


Anyone obsessed with beauty needs a great beauty subscription like Glossybox because the thrills keep coming every time a new box arrives.  The theme for this month is Tropical Beauty with ideal products to help perfect your summer look!

For those unfamiliar with Glossybox, you typically can expect five luxury beauty items from full to generous sample sizes of makeup, nail, skin and hair care to tools, etc. for $21 a month with free shipping within the United States.  You also receive a detailed sheet describing each product in the box as well.

Hello Beautiful Summer--Glossybox June 2017 Review Helps Get You Ready!

*Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**


Glossybox June 2017.jpeg
Tropical beauty is the theme for this June 2017 Glossybox.

We all want value in the beauty products we buy.  Until I received my first Glossybox, I had no idea of the tremendous assortment of premium brands that I got to try for a fraction of what they would normally run if purchased on their own.  This beauty subscription made an exciting addition for any addicted beauty lover like me.

Glossybox gives five luxury products from full to generous sample sizes of makeup, nail, skin and hair care to  tools, etc. for just $21 with free USA shipping. You also get a detailed sheet on each pick in the box as well.

The company does put out quite a few different versions during a month.  Therefore, my box that I’m about to show you may have some products that may change once your box arrives or from other reviewers. Nonetheless, whatever item is replaced will have equivalent value.

The theme for June 2017 is Hello Summer with makeup colors and textures for breezy summer looks that can help capture the season.  Let me show you the goodies that I found in my particular box.


Glossybox June 2017 out of the box.jpeg
This box also has fantastic packing to safeguard products with a box in a box.



Glossybox June 2017

1.  The Creme Shop The OMG Brush (Full Size)---------------------------------------$10.00
2.  Bang Beauty Cream Color (Full Size)--------------------------------------------------$22.00
3.  Julep Color Treat Nail Polish (Full Size)-----------------------------------------------$14.00
4.  Talika Photo-Hydra Day (Full Size)------------------------------------------------------$29.00
5.  Biossance Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil (Deluxe .14 fl. oz. Sample)-------$10.00


Total Approximate Value: $85.00!

The Creme Shop brush that I got was the Contour & Concealer. It has the white handle and was extremely soft with lots of wonderfully positioned bristles for ideal maneuvering.

The Bang Beauty Cream Color I found was in the shade of Dolce Pink.  It is a warm rose-pink with some shimmer that gives cheeks a radiant, but not sparkly sort of glow.  Another plus is that it looks great to wear on the lips to compliment the blush color.

The Julep Color Treat Nail Polish is a rosy-orchid color with a fine shimmer in the shade of Lorraine–Classic With a Twist.  I didn’t try this yet, but I love that it is a healthy vegan formula that includes hexanal for nail strengthening and antioxidant green coffee extract.

The Talika Photo-Hydra Day Moisturizer is a unique formula that has a special capability to energize the skin through natural light that brings a wonderful glow as it hydrates with hyaluronic acid and its hydra-photo beauty in a lightweight, gel-cream consistency.

The Biossance Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil was formerly known as The Nourisher, if you ever tried anything from this brand before.  This is a new company to me, but I liked the formula with its roses, vitamin C and 100% plant-based squalane for anti-aging.  It feels great on the skin and doesn’t leave you greasy, just silky.  In fact, you can 10% off the full size $72 bottle if you use coupon code:  GLOSSYBOX10 at biossance.com until July 31, 2017.

If you ask me, Glossybox put together a fabulous summer beauty box for June 2017 that was a real bargain.   Trying is the only way that you’ll be convinced yourself what a fun value it is just to shop for beauty.  Check them out because you’ll love their beauty box subscription–-I promise!

Unlike shopping in a store or online for a specific product, half the fun of ordering a subscription box is the anticipation of what could be inside as well as stumbling on some items that you probably might never have heard of before.  A good subscription box saves you hassle and time of bringing those companies to your attention like the Terra Bella Box that arrived.

Anyone that is trying to limit their exposure to chemicals would love the Terra Bella Box.  This is a well-coordinated box of natural, handmade beauty products from lotions, body and bath care, fragrances, cosmetics, soaps, etc. that takes the guesswork of trying to decipher and research all those chemical ingredients with healthier alternatives.

I always look forward to when I see that familiar little green box from Beauty Box 5 showing up at my house. This month’s theme from this beauty subscription happens to be Have Yourself a Smoky Holiday Season with helpful makeup, skin care and brush to help you achieve that goal!

If you also love digging in and discovering new beauty finds every month as I do, then I suggest looking into signing up for this beauty subscription box.  The cost is minimal at $12 a month with free shipping with five full to sample size cosmetics, skin care, hair care to fragrance products. 

Are you ready to get excited?  I think that you will once you check out these five FULL-SIZE beauty products that arrived this month.


Beauty Box 5 December 2015

1.  OFRA Shimmer Eye Shadow (Goget Refill for their palette)–$12.00

2.  BEAUTY BOX 5 Blender Brush –$10.00

3.  PRESTIGE COSMETICS Total Intensity Eyeliner–$5.95

4.  THE BEAUTY CROP Glamazon Stick–$22.00

5.  SO FRESH SO CLEAN Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes–$2.99


Total Value: $52.94!


The OFRA eye shadow is in the shimmery shade Millennium Bark, a brown with a hint of olive that has some sparkles to it that is a great neutral shade.  The card that came with this box has a value of $13.50, but at the company’s website it is $12.00. Either this is a typo or the price went up.  It does wear well without problems to nicely compliment my dark brown eyes.

The BEAUTY BOX 5 Blender Brush was wonderful to include in this box.  After all, you can never have enough eye shadow brushes.  It has a pointed, tapered tip unlike some flatter ended blender brushes that I own, which I found helped application for doing the smoky eye. 

The PRESTIGE COSMETICS Eyeliner is in Deepest Black is excellent.  This pencil is the blackest of black color like coal in a creamy gel-like formulation that glides well without tugging on your lids as you apply.  It is kind to sensitive eyes and holds up for hours of wear with only slight smudging.

THE BEAUTY CROP Glamazon Stick is a creamy highlighting crayon.  The color is a gleaming gold-based champagne that you will adore for accenting cheekbones, lids or wherever area you want to beam some light upon.  There are no sparkle chunks, but glorious, pale radiant gold light in this crayon.

The 25-count package of SO FRESH SO CLEAN Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes is the last product inside.  These are PH balanced and advertised to deep clean enough to remove waterproof mascara.  I haven’t tried any waterproof makeup to test that claim out, but this product did zap away my regular formula that I had on quickly and without any irritation.  

I dare you not to love this December 2105 assortment with this $52.94 grouping.  I know that I think this is my favorite box from this company this year.  What do you think?  I say check out Beauty Box 5 because you will love these boxes!

Beauty Box 5 November 2015

As I see it, you can’t miss looking great when you concentrate on the basics.  With this November 2015 skin care and makeup assortment, Beauty Box 5 sought to stuff that little green box with five inspiring beauty essentials that will change how you think of beauty basics.

If this is the first time you heard of this beauty box subscription that runs $12 a month with free shipping, then let me fill you in because it is a fun way to satisfy your beauty fix with five full to sample size cosmetics, skin care, hair care to fragrance products. 

Let me just show you what was packed in this box.  Once you see, you can decide what an excellent find it is because I quite liked the contents of what came inside the November assortment.


Beauty Box 5 November 2015


1. La Fresh good day, day moisturizer –Deluxe Sample (0.5 oz.)–$13.99

2.  Kaunis Facial Mask –Full Size–$14.95

3.  Altchek MD Eye Gel Pads (Set of 2) –Sample Size–$4.00

4.  MOODMATCHER MOODmatcher Luxe Twist Stick –Full Size–$8.00

5.  The All Natural Face Vegan Matte Cream Lip & Cheek Color –Full Size–$5.75



Total Value: $46.69!


La Fresh moisturizer seems to pack a lot of helpful ingredients to make skin thrive like collagen producing peptides, hyaluronic acid, vitamins, grape seed and others.  I didn’t try this yet because I am currently testing skin care so my face is committed.  I do look forward to trying it soon.

I also will have to wait on experimenting with the Kaunis Facial Mask as well until finishing my skin care commitments.  However, this product contains ocean water and is mineral-rich with potassium, magnesium, calcium, zinc, etc. to restore and smooth the skin, which sounds wonderful to me.

The Altchek MD Eye Gel Pads are ones that I intend to pass on simply because they are not recommended for anyone sensitive to bandages or tapes, which I am.  

I got the MOODmatcher Luxe Twist Stick in Orange.  I love how the color changes to a vivid pink once it reacts to the heat of your lips.  The shade happened to look nice on me so I will continue wearing it.

The All Natural Face Vegan Matte Cream Lip & Cheek Color I received was in the color of Dusty Rose. This is a flattering, warm rosy-brown shade that lit up my cheeks and lips very nicely.  I really liked how this one product was such a multitasker.
