Hello!!
OPINION NEEDED:
A while ago, I was subscribed to a couple of beauty boxes, some failed in the business but I started researching again. So I subscribed to Topbox for now. I pay 13.80$/month.
Got my first box last week. Do you guys want me to do “Box reveals” or Reviews on the products.
Let me know
Hello Beauties!!!
I had said I was gonna let you know what products struck me as good ones from my beauty boxes. I have extremely dry skin but not any cream works for me. If the content of the cream is too rich my skin does not absorb it and some just simply don’t get rid of the flaky dry desert on my face hahaha!!
Since I have a lot of products that I tried, I’m really putting the only ones that really stood out to me the most.
This one I actually purchased:
Benta Berry La Creme G-1: I had 2 different types of this brand of moisturizer and used both mostly to mix my foundation to make a daily tinted moisturizer. This Benta Berry is a water based moisturizer therefore did not decompose my foundation when mixing it on my hand. My regular foundation is a water base as well. If you mix oil base with water you’ll see the foundation decompose and doesn’t have great results. It’s a non comedogenic which means does not contain harsh chemicals that block pores and good for acne prone or sensitive skin.
Cyber Derm H2O Hydration and every morning: In general I love this brand and once again I got a few different samples of this brand. I loved all of them. I actually saw a difference in my skin. I used this for daily moisturizer, flakes and harsh dry skin was gone. All that was left was a clean and glowy skin. I even tried the night anti-age cream and really felt fresh and moisturized. I will probably be purchasing some of these creams in the near future. I still have some left as samples because I fluctuate moisturizers for different results. So all of these can be part of my top 5.
360 Skincare Lavender mint firming serum: It didn’t DRAMATICALLY remove all wrinkles and fine lines around the eye area but the smell is soo soothing and it’s rich without being too rich. My skin fully absorbs the product even if I leave a thick layer under my eyes. I put this before I go to bed and find myself looking more rested than usual. It’s cruelty free, has a lot of natural ingredients and it really smells good.
Last but not least…
Villainess Dulces en fuego: OMGoodnes!! I LOVE the smelllllll, I can actually be obsessed with this body cream. I dont find its the BEST moisturizing body cream in the world but the smellllllllll……… Its like a sweet cinnamon yummy smell. I can just put this on my hands all day long and never get sick of the smell. I was even putting this on my nose so I can just smell this. YES it was that good 😛 I didn’t buy the full size yet but I will very soon.
That’s it for now. There’s other products that I really enjoyed and worked but these so far are the ones that stood out the most like I said.
See you soon!!!
Side note: My sister is really good with fashion tips and accessorizing and putting outfits together (and not spending big bucks to look like a million bucks). I’m trying to convince her to start posting on my blog and putting up pictures and maybe making videos. She’s just shy but together we make a great team, “like” or comment on this post to support her to do it with me!! Yayyyyy, Thumbs up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello beauties,
So when I first started blogging I was posting all my beauty boxes. Then I didn’t feel like being annoying so i stopped showing what I was receiving. I was subscribed to 3 boxes: Glymm box, Glossy Box and Top box.
There is big difference in not only prices but also in the type of products.
Glossy box: was initially 15$ canadian shipping incl and it had a variety of drugstore products. This box had mainly full size products but in my opinion this was quantity over quality. Then the price went up to 21$ canadian and they added a small magazine with details on the products. I liked this box and the concept, i also liked the fact that I was getting a nice reusable box.
Glymm box: It was 11.50$ with shipping and although the samples were a lot smaller and fewer, the quality of the products were much more higher end. I would say this box is Quality over quantity. It is now 15$ per box and they send the products in a nice reusable makeup bag.
Top box: I wasn’t subscribed long enough to entirely compare with the others but the 2 first boxes didn’t fully impress me, there was a lot of hair products, makeup and rebate cards to products that were higher end. The samples were small and was barely able to really TEST the product. I believe it was 12$ every month and it came in a recycled cylinder box which to me was not useful or reusable in any way.
Now the winner for MY needs and expectations is Glymm. Don’t get me wrong it was an extremely tough choice cause they were all different in their own way. But MY goal was to try to find new and quality products. I wanted samples of products that I wouldn’t just randomly spend at a drugstore but wouldn’t chance buying expensive creams that I didn’t know the end results and waste my money. I also liked the fact that it came with a makeup bag. Sure they weren’t FULL size products but it was enough to make me try and see a difference. I had a tough choice between Glossy and Glymm cause they each had their own pros and cons. For me in the end it was quality over quantity and that’s why I chose Glymm. (also the products are always all available online and easy to shop from the site).
So I will be posting what I get in my Glymm boxes from now on.
Don’t think this was an easy choice for me, if i could’ve I would’ve kept all my subscribtions but unfortunately I didn’t feel the need.
Looking forward to sharing the glymm products.
Note: this is MY choice, MY opinion and may not be the same for your expectations and needs.
Here we are again! Another month full of goodies!
I was once again impressed with this month’s glymm box. There was a variety of things to experiment with and looking forward to trying. I will be making a video or blog about some products I recently received in subscribed beauty boxes that I enjoyed and will consider buying.
So for this months Glymm box here’s what I received:
Since last month Glymm decided to go “green” (eco-friendly). I received all my samples in a cute royal blue satin makeup bag with the Glymm logo. Very interesting. I can re-use it or gift it along with other little beauty related things to complete it 😉
2 Acetone-free nail polish remover pads – La Fresh (already tried it, smells good and doesn’t dry out nails)
A duo lip stick/ Lip balm Harmony – Belvada in a peachy nude color
A smoothing marine cream – Clark’s & Botanicals (reduces fine lines, inflammation and redness)
Skin solution oil – Vitamine & Sea (fully natural, no fragrance, repairs damaged cells)
When you first open it up you think: Hey this is not a lot… But if you look at the price value of the actual full size procucts and the quality you are receiving, it’s well worth it.
I hoped you enjoyed. If you want to subscribe to Glymm box (12$/month) click on the side bar “Subscribe to Glymm box HERE” it’ll take you directly to the site.

Glossy box impressed me so much this month it’s not even funny!! Personally I find the glossy box is worth every penny! So here’s what I received:
Curel foot cream – foot therapy sample 100 ml
Simple eye makeup remover – no perfume sample size 56 ml
Simple facial wash – refreshing and no perfume sample size 50 ml
Iman luxury lipstick in Red #005 – moisturizing and long lasting Full size product
Sebastian professional volupt shampoo – volumizing Full size product
