June Glymm Box

Okay as promised, I will try to keep everything up to date now. This is the June Glymm box.


For the month of June, I got a blue bag from Glymm!



La Fresh Acetone-Free Nail Polish Remover in Fresh Tuscan Orange Scent. Sample size: 2 packets = 20 nails; Full size: 18 packets for $9.99

I haven't used this yet because I have fake nails on. It looks really interesting though. I've never used wipes for nail polish removal and I usually use at least 3 cotton balls when I remove my polish. It'll be interesting to see if it really takes only one pad to remove it all.


Clark's Botanicals Intense Radiance Mask. Sample size: ?? doesn't say on the jar, mayeb 8oz? 10-14 uses; Full size: 50 mL for $72.00


Have not tried it yet. Smells great though, it's supposed to make your skin smoother and brighter. Can't wait to try it out! Sounds so pricey for what you get though..


Salvadore Dali ItIsDream Eau De Toilette. Sample size: the typical size lol 35 sprays; Full size: 60 mL for %54.00

UM. no. It's such a strong smell. I just sprayed it and I have a headache from it. I can't even explain the smell. It's like musky but a little fruity. Just super strong and gross. Will not buy and will probably throw out the sample..


Vitamin & Sea Perfect Skin Solution. Sample size: typical size of perfume samples, up to 5 uses; Full size: 45 mL for $68.00

Haven't used this yet.. it's supposed to smooth and soften your skin and repair it as well. I'll give it a try in the next couple of weeks and post a review.


Belvada Duo Lipstick Harmony. up to 16 months usage. Full size: 3.4 grams for $20.00

I've only used this a little bit and it's not bad! I love the packaging of it. As you can see, I had to upload 2 separate photos, I can't get the lipstick part out without putting the balm part in. All you do is push the end in and the opposite lip product will pop off the other side. Pretty cool stuff! Unfortuately, I recall putting on my Glymm subscription that I didn't want any neutral colours and that's exactly what I got with this lip stick. It's absolutely a nude colour... the name was "Natural Earth", seriously. C'mon Glymm :( I changed it from neutral so I would stop receiving those colours.
I like the balm part for sure, the colour side isn't really noticeable on my lips though. Would I buy this again? MAYBE. Depending on the other colours available and if they're a bit more pigmented.

That is all for my June Glymm !! I also got a Topbox for the month of June. I will post it tomorrow. Thanks for reading!

May Glymm Box

Omg I'm such a horrible blogger!! Gahhh, school absolutely took me by the storm and I had no time to do any blogging and I also took spring courses and with a new part-time job I've been SO behind.
I was going to post up a YT vid for April but it wasn't loading onto my computer from my memory card so I didn't do it. I thought I would be able to type up a post but I wasn't and I can't even remember where I put the items. If I can find it I'll post up the delayed post of it. And for May, I will do it right now. I guess in a sense, I don't really have followers so it makes me feel a bit better. As in, I'm not letting anyone down :P HAHA Okay here's my May Glymm!
These are the goodies I got for the month of May


Starting in the May Glymm, they actually decided to be more environmental friendly and instead of sending us our sample in a box in a box (yes this was intended), it was a bag in a box! So now I have more little cases for me to put my make up items in! This month my bag was a bright pink.


CK Shock For Her Eau De Toilette. Sample size: 35 sprays; Full size: 50 mL for $45.00

I also received the male version which I was planning to give to my boyfriend, but my brother took it LOL. I actually quite like this scent. It's a sweet smell (which I don't mind for the summer time) and it really makes me feel like summer is here! I would buy this in full size if I am looking for a new perfume!


Coola Mineral Matte Cucumber Face Sunscreen. Sample size: up to 4 uses; Full size: 50 mL for $36.00

Okay so THIS is actually what prompted me to blog again. I used it today because it's SO hot outside (22 degrees celcius which for my city is pretty darn hot) and I've never used a sunscreen that is specific for my face before. I thought I'd try it out. I don't know about the whole cucumber thing and what it should do but.... it comes out white and when I rubbed it on my face it was PURPLE.

I took a picture of my face which can be seen here: CLICK HERE TO SEE A PURPLEY FACE I don't want to post it up as an image cause I don't want to scare people. haha I must have rubbed it in for a good minute or two and it was still pretty purple and then I saw that it said "perfect primer" so I put my makeup on and it was A-okay again. My question is this..... what if I'm not a make-up person? Then my face would be a tinge of purple.. It sort of reminds me of the purple sunscreen I had as a kid but it turned into a white and blended into your skin. Anyways... that's what it is.
The consistency was like a normal sunscreen, it did NOT have a smell which is a bonus point. However, as I was massaging it into my skin it really felt like a primer, where it feels like you're putting a layer on top of your skin as opposed to having it sink in. Is it a buy? I'm not sure, but man the purple-ness scared me into blogging.


NuMe HydroPunch Hydrating Conditioner. Sample size: up to 4 uses; Full size: 250 mL for $24.99

I haven't used this yet because I hate using separate shampoos and conditioners. (there's a tidbit about me :P) Only thing I can say about it is that it smells decent and it's supposed to help with dry/damaged hair. C'mon Glymm, send sample of shampoo and conditioner like last time!


Mèreadesso Lip Treats. Sample size: up to 3 months; Full size: package of 2 for $28.00

I love how it tells me it's a sample size but really it's because it's 1 instead of 2. The shade I got was the burgundy one. It was either that or a lighter pink colour (as seen on the pamphlet) or a sheer one that is just moisturizing.
I actually really liked this one. I used it quite a bit, goes on SUPER smooth, colour is sheer (so not like a lipstick). Wears really well in my experience, and has a fruity smell to it. I would definitely buy this again !! Maybe I'll try out the pink colour...


Caudalie Crushed Cabernet Scrub. Sample size(60 grams): up to 3 uses; Full size: 150 grams for $29.00

Unfortunately, I have not used this yet. I've been dying to try Caudalie stuff cause I've heard it's amazing but I honestly haven't had the time to exfoliate my face. I generally like to do that at night but I've been so tired when I get home from work I just don't. I hopefully will in the next few weeks. I do love the packaging it comes in, which creates an airtight seal. The smell of it (just from the jar) is not very appealing to me. It looks like a super harsh scrub so I hope it won't irritate my face.
ETA: FAIL. I just googled how to use this and it turns out it's a body scrub. Will definitely use it today when I shower!

Caudalie Vinosource SOS Thirst-Quenching Serum. Sample size(1ml): up to 3 uses; Full size: 30 mL for $48.00 and Caudalie Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet. Sample size(1 ml): up to 3 uses; full size: 40 mL for $38.00

Again I have not used this yet. I honestly don't see how this little package would last me 3 uses.. You are supposed to use them together. The SOS first then the sorbet. I'll probably try it out this weekend. The SOS is supposed to give "your skin a surge of hydration" and then the sorbet is the moisturizer. So it's a double whammy for moisture for your face! Perhaps I'll be able to blog about it once I use it!

Ok that is all for my May Glymm. I realize this is a super long post, and I feel like all my posts will be like this. I will be posting the June Glymm box AND the TopBox hopefully sometime this week so that I can be all caught up!

Thanks for reading!!
