January 2012 Glymm Box

My January 2012 Glymm Box arrived in the mail yesterday! For those of you who are unfamiliar, Glymm Box is a monthly beauty subscription program available in Canada and based in Quebec. For $10 a month, they'll send you between 4-5 "luxury" beauty samples (and usually one full-size product) for you to try out. All of this is tailored to a beauty profile that you fill out when you first subscribe. Let's get started on this month's box! List of everything that's in this month's box. When opening new beauty boxes, make sure they're cat-approved before continuing. So here are the five products!
Kaia Naturals | Juicy Bamboo Facial Cleansing Cloths (Full Size: $17.99)
This cloth is soaked in Vitamins and is said to be made with 99% natural ingredients, perfect for removing makeup, toning, or cleansing the face. I'm pretty excited about this! The full-size is pretty expensive, almost 3x what I spend on makeup removing wipes, so we'll see if it's worth the price.

Vasanti Cosmetics | BrightenUp! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator (Full Size: $34.00)
This product claims to "dramatically improve your sin's texture". It's enriched with aloe and papaya enzymes. I haven't ever used any Vasanti products, but I'm pretty excited given the opportunity to test this one out, seeing as it seems to have very positive reviews online!

Anastasia Beverly Hills | Clear Brow Gel (Full Size: $21.00)
This is the product I'm the most excited about! This gel claims to set your brows perfectly all day, and is an Anastasia Beverly Hills best-seller.

Burt's Bees | Nourishing Milk & Honey Body Lotion (Full Size: $12.99)
This new body lotion says it is clinically proven to restore moisture and replenish dry skin. It claims to deliver beneficial nutrients to the skin through coconut and Vitamin E. I'm not crazy about Burt's Bees products, especially hair and body products, but milk and honey sounds like a delicious fragrance combination, so I'm excited to try it out!

Cargo Cosmetics | Eye Pencil (Full Size: $16.00)
This is the full-size product that's available in this month's box, so this product alone pays for the box. I don't know if I would've gone out of my way to pay $16 for an eye pencil on my own, but it gives me the chance to check out this new brand. This glides onto the skin really smoothly and came in a rich chocolate brown colour. I'm left wondering if I can use it on my eyebrows or not.

So my favourite product this month was... !


Definitely the Anastasia Brow Gel! I wanted to buy this a few months ago, but opted to go for the cheaper Sephora brand, but I'm delighted I get the opportunity to try this one out and compare it to the cheaper-priced alternative. I gel my brows almost daily, so I'm happy that I received a product I'll be using!

Overall, I'd give this month's box a 7.5/10 (room for improvement!) I'm excitedly awaiting this month's Luxe Box, as my 3-month subscription will be over, and I can look into alternatives (Glossy Box is finally coming to Canada, and it looks amazing). I'd like to get my hands on a Topbox (it looks like the best available Canadian subscription program, but they're sold out until 6 months from now!) - one day!
If you're a Glymm Box subscriber, please link me to your post or video, as I'd love to hear your thoughts on this month's products!

Edit | I ordered the first month of GLOSSYBOX! I'm so excited! Every video I've watched of unboxing looks amazing with legit luxury products. I only ordered one month to check it out and see if it's as good, but if you live in Canada, go and subscribe!
