June 2012 Glossybox

Here is the June 2012 US Glossybox.

A closer look at the products:

Wella Professionals Enrich Moisturizing Treatment mask for fine/normal hair.  

Deluxe sample contains 25mL.  

The full size contains 5oz and retails for $12.

First Aid Beauty Smooth Shave Cream.  

Deluxe sample contains 2 oz

Full size contains 6.8oz and retails for $16.50

Trio of face products from vBeaute

Includes:

Lite Up Intense Brightening Agent Serum

Buying Time Day Cream

Eye Never Eye Cream

The samples look like they're about 1mL each.

Full sizes retail for Lite Up 1oz $150; Buying Time 1.7oz $135; Eye Never .5oz $85.

This is the "special surprise" from this month's Glossybox.  It's from a company called A Perfume Organic (which I think is a horribly confusing name, FWIW).  The perfume itself is called Urban Organic.  The vial arrived about 1/3 full.  A full size contains .41oz and retails for $65.  The perfume is nice, but honestly, giving me a 1/3 full vial as an extra .. I wish they'd just not bothered.


And finally on to the full size item for this month's Glossybox:

Ofra Eyeshadow in Ice.
Full size.  Retails for $14.95.
I am so underwhelmed by this.  It looks like a turd in a tube.

Overall, I am much less impressed by this month's Glossybox, but I will give it another month or two before I decided to keep it or dump it.

Review: Sephora Rollerball Collection for Her

First off, I want to apologize.  I didn't realize until I was looking up links for this post that this is no longer available online.  I debated posting this because unlike some people *cough*PinkSith*cough* I don't like to show you things you can't have.

But I'm going to.  Sorry.

I picked up the Sephora Rollerball Collection for Her during the March Sephora VIB sale.  It looks like the collection is sold out online now, but you still may be able to find it at your local Sephora. I know mine still has a few.  Amazon and Ebay also have them, but the price is definitely not as tempting.

Sephora seems to do collections like this fairly regularly, so I assume they'll probably have something comparable up soon.

This set retailed for $32 and I had a 15% VIB discount, so it was $27.20.

This collection contained 7 rollerballs.  Most of them contained about .3 oz.  Individually, most of these rollerballs retail for about $20, so if you liked only 2 of them, this set was still a deal.

I was particularly interested in the Coach, Clean and Armani rollerballs, but the entire collection contained:

• Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gioia
• Coach Poppy
• Clean Shower Fresh
• Lavanila Vanilla Grapefruit
• Paco Rabanne Lady Million
• Hanae Mori Butterfly
• Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy

Some of them have turned out to be duds.  The Lavanila is a bit sweet for me and the Paco Rabanne smells great until I let it sit on my skin for a while, but still, there were some winners.

Overall:  10/10
