Glossybox May 2014

I actually really like that my new subscription box, Glossybox, arrives at the end of the month.  If you missed my post about the April box, I decided to subscribe to Glossy and cancel Ipsy.  Glossybox is a little more pricy (usually $21/month), but I signed up via a promotion and get the boxes for $16.  The May box has a tie in with Bergdorf Goodman.

Here is the box!

$25 promotional gift card to Bergdorf Goodman
Wow!  This is an actual gift card and not a coupon code.  I don't usually shop at Bergdorf, but I will definitely find my way there before this expires on June 15.

Napoleon Perdis Auto Pilot Pre-Foundation Skin Primer (full size: $45, sample value: $13.24)

I don't regularly use primer, but I will give this a try especially since it can be used on top of moisturizer/sunscreen. 

Revive Intensite Volumizing Eye Serum (full size: $350, sample value: $70)

I've recently started using eye cream at night (a must now that I am past the big 3-0).  This is definitely a much more expensive variety than I've ever tried.  I wonder if I'll be able to tell the difference...

Alterna Caviar CC Cream (full size: $25, sample value: $8.50)

I remember when leave in conditioner was a popular item.  I'll give this a try and hope it doesn't make my hair look oily.  

Lancer Lift Serum Intense (full size: $275, sample size: $55)

Serum is another item I've been trying to incorporate into my routine lately.  Again, let's see if I can tell the difference between this and my usual Birchbox samples.  

Aerin Beauty Rose Hand & Body Cream (full size: $40, sample size: $4.76)

I love having small hand creams in my bag after so much hand washing during the day.  The scent here is floral but not too strong. 

Sulwhasoo Timetreasure Renovating Cream (full size: $400, sample size: $32)
Also now using night cream.  Excited to try this!

This is definitely my highest value box of all time (~$208 when including the giftcard).  It's nice to try out these high end products and see if I really notice/feel a difference from what I usually use.  I know I would never purchase full size beauty products with these price tags, but it seems like glossybox is going to keep me well supplied for a reasonable cost. :-)

Interested in trying glossybox?  Let me know and I'll send you an invite!!!!
