January 2012 - Luxe Box

That's right my Luxe Box has finally arrived.  Better late then never right?
(I had originally expected to receive my Luxe Box at the same time I got my Glymm Box.  Unfortunately Luxe Box was unable to send out their boxes until this week, but thankfully they did send out an e-mail giving its many subscribers a heads up and an explanation.)


I had received an e-mail late in the evening yesterday saying that my box had been shipped out via "Xpresspost", so I knew that I would be coming home to it today.  Unlike the Glymm Box in its amazing bubble gum pink shipping box, Luxe Box ships to you in your run of the mill, brown shipping box.

Shipment Box

Despite the boring shipping box (I was told never to judge a book by its cover anyways) I was still super excited to get this box open.  Right when the box was open I was presented with another surprise.  Instead of 1 box I was greeted by 2!

January 2012 - Glymm Box

It's finally here!!
My January 2012, and first Glymm Box has arrived.  I signed up late December for both the Luxe Box and the Glymm Box, and I am excited that one of them has finally arrived.  I received an e-mail on Friday saying that I should expect my Glymm box on January 20th, so I was pleasantly surprised when I came home today to see the most beautiful bubble-gum pink shipping box sitting on my counter. 

Shipment Box

Whats inside

For those of you who have not heard about Glymm box it is a monthly subscription of 3-5 deluxe beauty samples that are sent directly to your door for just $10 a month!!

This month the full size Cargo pencil (at $16) alone pays for this box. 

Top: Solid Line, Bottom: Smudged

And here are some pictures of the rest of this months box:

1 Individually Wrapped Facial Cleansing Cloth

Exfoliating Cleanser

Clear Brow Gel

Body Lotion.

 So far other than the quick swatch of the Cargo Eye Pencil, all I have tried out is the Anastasia Beverly Hills - Clear Brow Gel.  The brow gel worked at keeping my brows tamed, but it almost felt as though I had coated my brows in hairspray.  I will try using this product again as it did do a great job at keeping my eye brows inline, hopefully with a lighter application it will feel more natural.


So tell me, have you signed up for the Glymm box?  If so what product did you like best in this months box?
