December GlossyBox 2012 (Canada)

This was my glossybox for the month of December! :)
Enjoy!

This month sent me a gray box and I'm liking it! LOL
The theme for this month's box was LOULOU as in the magazine. So here's all the things that LOULOU magazine thinks we should have for the new year! :P

Here's what I got! 



TRESEMME FRESH START VOLUMIZING DRY SHAMPOO
161g/$5.99

I got the deluxe size my my box which was 56g. It's nice for traveling or you can even bring it in your purse or have it with you at school. I personally really like the smell of it but not the way it applies. I guess nothing is really better than washing your own hair. If you're like me and have curly hair, this is good because it will hold you over until your next wash.


AVEENO POSITIVELY AGELESS DAY SPF 30 
FULL SIZE 
75ml/$25.99 

I think that Aveeno has great products but to be honest, I'm not that old. I will someday but right now I just don't need any aging products. But this does have SPF which is great because the sun is really harmful to the skin. I will probably use it up as though it is a pretty nice moisturizer and hey I should take care of my skin while I'm young before it all goes downhill... 


AVEENO POSITIVELY AGELESS TINTED MOISTURIZER (LIGHT-MEDIUM) SPF30 
FULL SIZE 
50mL/ $25.99 

Wow this is a really expensive tinted moisturizer for a drugstore brand but non the less it was nice to get it in this month's box. I don't wear heavy foundation so it's really nice that they gave is tinted moisturizers instead. I think that everyone got the same shade which is fine for my skintone but what about others to have either lighter or darker skin tones? Hmmm there's a question for you GlossyBox! 



AVON 
ASSORTED SEE WWW.AVON.CA 
SUPERSHOCK VIVD LIQUID EYESHADOW IN CHARMED 

BOY WAS I EVER SHOCKED! I think that everyone had issues with the avon products in this month's GlossyBox. I for one am really disgusted at the fact that this eye shadow was liquid like water liquid. When I went to pick it up again the other day the water and the shadow was completely separated like a bad chemistry experiment.  Seriously, what is up with that? 

The brown part and the water was separated which means this product is probably really old. 

REVLON NAIL ENAMEL 
FULL SIZE
15mL/$5.99
COLOUR: 507 FIRE FOX 

I love getting nail polish in my boxes. I like the fact that this nail polish was matte. The thing with matte nail polishes is that they probably need a top coat but this one could sit on itself without anything. Perfect red carpet red if you ask me! ;)

                                    

GLOSSYBOX LASHES 
FLL SIZE 
$12.50/PAIR 

I think the price is just for show. Honestly, Ardell or any other brand lashes are way cheaper and better quality than these ones. I like lashes so I'm not going to complain! It even comes with glue! 



BONUS ITEM 
TRESEMME SPLIT REMEDY SACHET 

Again, I'm not a fan or little packages of shampoo but I'll try if it makes my hair healthier and split end free. I'll just take it to the gym or something. It sure saves room. 



There you have it folks! :)

IPSY/MYGLAM BAG DECEMBER 2012 (CANADA)


These are some of the goodies that I received in this month's Ipsy/Myglam bag! :)

Grey Metallic Pencil Case look-a-like



Mai Couture Highlighter Sheets 
Supposedly you need to rip out a sheet and the wax paper has highlight powder on it. It seems odd to me but I've seen blush and contour sheet by the same company so I'm not surprised that they came out with highlighter sheets... 
Retail for $28.00 


Mirabella Face and Eye Primer 
This kind of feels like the smashbox primer. It feels oily and when you put it on your skin you don't really know where the product went. But it will do the job if you're looking for something to make your foundation go on smoother. 
Retail for $29.00 


NYX Ultra Pearl Mania Pigment in Baby Pink Pearl 
I personally don't like pigments that much because they are messy to handle, however it goes off great results. This is a really pretty highlight shade that will brighten up inner corners or add a little shine under the brow bone. It will be nice to have this little think in my makeup collection. 
Retails for $4.99 


Be a...Bombshell Lipgloss in Hot Mess 
Very build-able lipgloss. Nothing out of the ordinary. Semi sticky and plain. 
Retails for $14.00 


Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Pencil in Zero 
Very pigmented eyeliner and has a lot of hype. It's creamy but not as long lasting as people say they are, at least for me... It's a nice travel size eyeliner none the less. 
Full Size Retails for $19.00
