Glymm Box Canada March


My first beauty box to arrive was Glymm. And if your like me and love getting mail this was the highlight of my day but what did I think of what was in the box?
Excuse my dry looking hand fellow Zombies!
ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS:  Hydrafull Gloss. The sample was very small and typical size of what you would get at any makeup counter. It did have a interesting applicator that was flexible plastic. The Glymm cards boast was that it was not sticky however I found it to be rather sticky than other brands I have tried as well as falling flat on "lasting power". A full size tube is $27.00 for 2.2 ml.....Hmm I did find this a bit much for the quality as well as the brand itself. They did also include a coupon for buy two glosses at $27.00 and the third one free.
The second item can be found in any Canadian drug store. BURT'S BEES Naturally Nourishing Milk & Honey body lotion for normal to dry skin. The brand is animal friendly, almost completely natural, and has fab natural scents. I have tried many of the nail and lip products so it was a welcome surprise to find it in my box. I must say the two generous sample sizes where great and I will definitely be purchasing this product in the future. It go's on sheer, absorbing quickly and does not leave a grease feeling on your skin.

Next we got a full size package of NU*ME Feather Hair Extensions. The three pieces where sent out in random colours to everyone and mine happened to be navy blue with black strips....Pretty cool looking. The "100% synthetically crafted from real human hair and ready for heat styling" Glymm's card says although I don't get exactly what the first part of that statement means. These are meant to be DIY but anything that involves me using a pliers like instrument on my hair is a bit to complicated and risky for me.....Having said that I will pin them in using bobby pins or fit the to typical hair extension clips. This full size product of three hair pieces retails for $25.00.
They send M.ASAM/ Magic Fini. Now I must say that I am not a fan of the scent. They sent a 5 ml product sample that was nice. Full size in 30ml for $38.00. Haha I have to say when I opened this I was pretty shocked at how dark it looked and thought "Are you serious?! I'm freaken pale!". When I put it on my hand it actually blended out nice. This product go's on really nice and helps cover uneven skin and pores. I however could not get over the smell of it.

Last product was OCEAN Nail Polish. This full size product of 15 ml retails for $12.00 so it pretty much paid for the whole beauty box. This products is true to its fast drying claims. I do however wish they would have sent us a more vibrant colour to test. The colour I was sent was 295 Chantelle, an almost clear shade even after a few coats making wear and tear really hard to notice and really not my style.

Well this is my first review so hope it was somewhat helpful
