Another decent box from Glymm
A few more brand names I have never heard of.
They also brought back the product card. I didn't mind reading the products online but getting on paper is much easier. Lash Card
Full Size box of 10 @ $6.99, Sample size 2 @ $1.40
Cyberderm: H2O Hydration
Full Size 50ml @ $60, estimated sample 3 ml @ $3.60
Cyberderm: Every Morning Sun Whip SPF 25
Full Size 50ml @ $39, estimated sample 3 ml @ $2.34
Miss Jessie's: Baby Buttercreme
Full Size 59ml (2oz) @ $9, 237 ml (8oz) @ $32, 473 ml (16oz) @ $58
Sample Size 59ml (2oz) @ $9
Bonus: Johnson & Johnson Baby Oil
To introduce Glymm Mama
The value of my box is $30+
The Bottom Line Product received - 3/5
The surprise - 3/5
Favourite product received - Baby Buttercreme
Overall reaction - It's not a bad box. I love to try this new lash card but I wish they didnt give more mascara. *sigh* I am excited to see what people will have in their Glymm Mama box. My baby will soon be a toddler so it is too late for me.
Vitamine & Sea: Mineral Clay Mask
Full Size 210ml @ $62, sample size estimate 5ml @ $1.48
Love to try this. I dont use Clay Mask very often so I will doubt I would be purchasing the full size product.
Naked Princess: Lip Gloss
Full Size 0.10 oz @ $26, sample size 0.008 oz @ $2.08
I cant believe how small this sample is. It is also a lip plumper without the stinging sensation. I have tried it and didn't noticed anything different with my lips.
Atelier Cologne: Vanille Insensee
Full Size 30ml @ $70, sample size estimate 1ml @ $2.33
Gee, another perfume sample. It's OK but I am not very interested in perfume. There is only a handful out there I really like.
The Laundress: Delicate detergent
Full Size 500 ml @ $22, sample size 15ml @ $0.66
This is interesting. I like detergent samples but I don't think I should pay for one. I just use body wash to wash my delicates.
Mai Couture: Highlighter Papier
Full Size 50 Sheets @ $19-26, sample size 2 sheets @ $0.76
Not to thrilled with Mai Couture products except for their lip glosses. I guess if you have those tiny purse then these paper will be a life saver.
Missing!!! Bentaberry: Face cream
Full Size 30ml @ $22, no sample size
So disappointed - I did email Glymm and they said that they will send me a "replacement" next month. Fingers cross.
The value of my bag is $7.31
The Bottom Line Product received - 2/5
The surprise - 1.5/5 (Meh)
Favourite product received - None
Brownie Points - None
Overall reaction - Boo
This month's bag was OK.
However, I have been enjoying the bags instead of the boxes these days
This month I received:
Dirt - Salt Scrub
Full Size 12oz @ $45, Sample Size - unknown
Smells really good. Like lemon cake or lemon pie. If it was a sugar scrub I wonder what it will taste! I am glad I receive this sample instead of Mereadesso cream because I already have the full size version.
Cyberderm - H2O Hydration
Full Size 50ml @ $60, Sample Size 4ml @ $4.80
I think it was suppose to be 5ml but there is a big gap in the tube. Cute packaging - it is like a shot of botox. I did noticed like everyone else where it said oral only. It is not. It is a moisturizer and they just bought the "syringe" from a supplier and use it for their packaging.
Cyberderm - PM Anti-Age
Full Size 50ml @ $115, Sample Size 5ml @ $11.50
Like I mentioned above, cute packaging. I am not sure if I will be using this one or giving it away to my mom.
Mane Teeze - Social Butterfly Hair Perfume
Full Size 50ml @ $34, Sample Size 8ml @ $5.44
OMG! I love the smell. I love the smell of vanilla. I would love to purchase this again but it is a bit expensive.
Joico - K-Pak Revitaluxe
Full Size 150ml @ $25, Sample Size 50ml @ $9
I have received this product before in my February Luxebox. It is OK. I dont mind using it again.
*Bonus* 25% on all Nail Polish on Glymm.com until July 31st
I wont be using this. I could get great deals on nail polishes in stores.
The approximate value of this box is $30+
The Bottom Line Product received - 3/5
The surprise - 3/5 (Meh)
Favourite product received - Mane Teeze: Hair Perfume
Brownie Points - Delivered on schedule
Overall reaction - Oooo. Love to try that...
I'm impressed with this month's Glymm box.
Maybe they will start improving their samples...
They have eliminate the box (Thank God) and introducing the bag (Yeah!).
I am running out of space keeping all those boxes.
I really like the bag. I wonder if they will always be bright pink or will it be different colour each month...
This really reminds me of MyGlam bag subscription.
This month's bag include:
CK One for Her and for Him
Full Size 50ml @ $45 (each) Sample Size 1.2 ml (each) @ $1.08 x 2 = $2.16
Sample Usage 35 sprays per vile (as per pamphlet)
I have already received this in my March Luxe box. I do like the smell. I know my husband will use it because he will keep it in his gym bag.
Coola - organic suncare SPF 30
Full Size 50ml @ $36, sample size 5ml @ $3.60
Sample Usage up to 4 uses (as per pamphlet)
We should be applying sunscreen all year round to prevent any sun damage. I already have some minor ones. :( I didn't put much sunscreen when I was in my 20s so I am paying for it now.
Nu.Me - HydroPunch Hydrating Conditioner
Full Size 250ml @ $24.99, sample size 20ml @ $2.00
Sample Usage up to 4 uses (as per pamphlet)
It is a good size. I always run out of conditioner. I use more conditioner than my shampoo. I am always looking for the perfect conditioner to make my hair ultra soft... no luck yet.
Cargo - eye shadow duo (Venna)
Full size = sample size 3g @ $25
This is my first Cargo eye shadow. One of Luxe box's FIL has a choice of Cargo eye shadow but I missed it but that is OK, I have this one... I love the colour. It even has a hint of glitter in it.
Caudalie - Anti-ageing serum eye and lips
Full size 15ml @ $33, sample size 7ml @ $15.40
Sample Usage up to 40 uses (as per pamphlet)
This is a good sample size for me to try it out. I am still looking for a good eye cream. Love to see my dark circles disappear.
Caudalie Vinosource SOS Thirst-Quenching Serum
Full size 30ml @ $48, sample size 1mL @ $1.60
Sample Usage up to 3 uses (as per pamphlet)
Caudalie Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet
Full size 40mL @ $38, sample size 1mL @ $0.95
Sample Usage up to 3 uses (as per pamphlet)
Cute packaging but not practically. Once you open it, it will dry out over night. I hope you kept some of those Sephora's containers. I am going to use it to hold the reminder cream. This two should be used together. I wonder why they didn't mix it already or have them in the same bottle...
Total Value of this box is $50+
The Bottom Line
My experience with this month's box - 4.5/5
Product received - 5/5
The surprise - 5/5
Favourite product received - Caudalie's eye & lip serum
Brownie Points - I love the bag
Overall reaction - Yes! No more boxes. Let's save our planet! Yeah, better samples!
This month's Glymm box came without my tracking number.
This is the second time that happened.
The first time was with Luxe box.
This box included:
Lucia - Soap No. 1
Full size: 8 soaps @ $17.50, sample size: 1 soap @ $2.19
It smells nice. I have never tried Shea Butter soaps before. I usually use Dove soap so I cant wait to try it.
Atelier Cologne - Orange Sanguine Fragrance
Full size: 30ml @ $60 or 200 ml @ $165, sample size: unknown
It is a little strong at first but it smells like fresh oranges which I like. I wish it was a spray bottle sample.
Free Your Mane - Sulfate Free Hyfrating Shampoo & Conditioner
Full size: 300ml @ $16, sample size 2 x 7.4 ml @ $0.79
I dislike these one time use sample. They could have giving another one or two since both of them combine are worth less than a dollar. I wonder if it will be enough for long thick hair.
Mai Couture - social gloss (G'vinity)
Full size = sample size 5ml @ $28
I cant believe this tiny lip gloss is worth $28. It is really nice. I like the smell. I found it really hydrates my lips.
Bonus (not)
$100 gift card to NuMe gift card only could be used for styling tools or hair extensions.
Not worth it since everything is over $100
I have seen this in MyGlam bag and I found they also didn't like it.
Total worth of this month's box is $30+
My experience with this month's box - 2/5
Product received - 2.5/5
The surprise - 2/5
Favourite product received - Mai Couture
Brownie Points - came somewhat on time
Overall reaction - Boo. I like the lip gloss & the soap but the rest could be better. At least I received my money's worth.
Can they redeem themselves in this month's box?
Are they going to replace the Jelly Belly?
Back on their Facebook page, many have been complaining about their customer service. :(
This month's box:
M.ASAM - Perfect Teint
Full size 50ml @ $42, sample size 5ml @ $4.20 M.ASAM - Magic Fini
Full size 30 ml @ $38, sample size 5ml @ $6.33
I think the Perfect is a primer & the Magic is a tinted moisturizer. They smell great so I can't wait to try them. I like the cute containers. Once I am done I can reuse them. I received both of M.ASAM products where as some received Anastasia miniature lipgloss. What did you get?
Nu.Me - Feather hair extensions
Full size 3 strands for $25 = sample size
This company was featured in MyGlam Bag. I am not sure what to make of this... ???? speechless
I seem to have the same reaction as others on their youtube videos. The instructions looks complicated & I don't have extension pliers. Maybe there might be a video to show you how to put it on.
Ocean Nail Polish
Full Size 15 ml @ $12 = sample size
Pretty nail polish. Glittery. It does not dry as fast as I wanted them to :(
Total worth of this month's box $47+
The Bottom Line
My experience with this month's box - 3/5
Product received - 3/5
The surprise - 3/5
Favourite product received - M.ASAM products
Overall reaction - Hey! Why do some people received more products than I did??? Where is the jelly belly replacements??? This box has improved from last month's box. They have a long way to go to redeem themselves...
My box took forever to get to me - at a snail pace.
I thought it will never get here.
I had a stressful time with their customer service.
Unbelievable right?
Well, I was trying to get a refund from a 3 months gift subscription that they re-charged on my credit card.
It took about three weeks to get my refund - I was worry they wouldn't give my money back.
Anyways, I am glad everything was all settled.
Sula: Eye shadow
Full size 0.15 oz @ $8, sample size = Full size
It goes on very lightly. The colour looks OK on me.
Burt's Bees: Tinted Lip Balm
Full size 4.25g @ $7.99, sample size = Full size
I love lip balms. When I put this on I don't see any colour on my lips. I think that is OK.
Glamglow: Mud Mask
Full size 50ml @ $78, sample size 7ml @ $10.92
I have never tried a mud mask before. I am afraid that I might break out.
Mai Couture: Blotting/Bronzing paper
Full size 100 sheets @ $24, sample size 2 sheets $0.48
Wow, two sheets...kinda disappointing. I found this product too expensive for blotting paper even if it has a duel function as a bronzing paper. I dont know about you but when I use blotting paper I use the whole sheet. I don't know why Glymm said that it is good for 4 uses...
Total value of the box is $27+
Also, Glymm mentioned that they are replacing the Jelly Belly with something more better. I assumed it was going to be in this box but I didn't see anything.
The Bottom Line
My experience with this month's box - 2/5
Product received - 2/5
The surprise - 2/5
Favourite product received - Burt's Bees Tinted lip balm
The past two boxes I have found their quality of products are declining. At first they were the best but now I'm worry they are not.
To my surprise - I received my December Glymm Box.
I was so excited I had to open it. I could not wait for Christmas to open it.
To see all my pictures - watch the video
In this box I received:
Caudalie: Peel Mask - Full Size 40mL @ $40; sample size 3mL @ $3
This product line is too pricey for me. I have tried it and it was OK. It hydrated my skin.
Ahava: Hand Cream - Full Size 3.4 oz @ $20; sample size 0.68 @ $4
I was so happy to get to try something from Ahava. I love the hand cream. I love the smell on my hand but after awhile, I have to keep on replying it. My hand is so dry during the winter season. I think I need something a little strong. I think this is great for the summer. It is already in my purse.
Yves Saint Laurent: La Parisienne - Full Size 3oz @ $85; sample size 0.25 @ $7.08
My first perfume sample in a long time. I remember they use give out in the little vile. I like the bottle. It is very cute. Presentation is everything. However, I am so afraid to spill it. They should have added a spray top on it. I love the smell. So does my husband so that is a bonus. I dont purchase perfume so I wont be buying the full size.
Sula Beauty: Lip Gloss - Full Size 0.5 oz @ $8; sample size = full size - YEAH!
It has an interesting smell. Not sure what it is. It almost smell like bubble gum paint. I don't like I like the smell. The colour is pale pink so it emphasizes your natural lip colour.
Glymm gift card - $10 off on their on-line store - double yeah.
I think I will be using this coupon. Not sure what I will buy but I have time to think about it.
Dont forget the jelly beans. This time they gave me cherry and chocolate favour. I love them. Better than last time - coffee favour = gross...
Total value for this box is $22+ but if you add in the gift card it will be $32+
The Bottom Line
My experience with Glymm Box- 5/5
Product received - 3/5
The surprise - 5/5
Favourite product received - Ahava hand cream
I hope you like your box.
Cant wait to see what the new year will bring.
It came!

We are so excited to try them. We can't wait for the December box. I wonder if they will do something special for Christmas. Ta da!
I have received my first Glymm Box today.
I was searching if there was another sample cosmetic company besides Loose Button and I have found one. I found one later in September so October is my first box.
I have been watching my email and tracking number constantly to see when it will arrive.
Yeah, I know some people already received theirs and already posted what they received and I had to peek.
I can't help it. Maybe next time I wont look.
People in Montreal received theirs yesterday and I received it the day afterwards.
I am glad I have signed up. I only wished I have knew about this company earlier.
I did some Google search and found nothing until I happened to see someone post a note on a wall on Facebook.
This is what I have received.
Summary
Caudalie: Premier Cru Cream - original size 1.7oz/$150
Lise Watier: Lip Kiss Crayon - original size 2.8 g / $18
Principessa: Bacio Lip Balm - original size 0.5 fl. oz/ $11
Vasanti: Micronized Silky Eyeshadow - original size 3.2g / $15
Received full size for the Lise Watier, Principessa, and Vasanti so the total package is worth $44+
I really like the cute bottle. I wonder what I will do with it after I am done with the jelly beans.
They are so yummy.
