Unboxing my April 2013 Glamourbox

Hey everyone! As promised on Twitter, here's my unboxing post for the April Glamourbox. I just received this one this afternoon and I was soooo thrilled by the samples inside! When my brother handed me the box, I was like "whoah!" The box was really heavy! That's one clue that Glamourbox is spoiling me with a full size item/s!

The theme for April is "Green Beauty" This is no suprise. As we all know, last month we celebrated Earth Day! But I really think, everyday should be Earthday (just like everyday is Christmas huh Santa?:D ) ..Anyway, yes I think we should be more Eco-nscious (wow I think I just created a word!..but it doesn't sound right!haha!). I may sound hypocrite, but I do like using Eco-friendly products than of the opposite but then again, what choice do I have?right? Eco-friendly products are so limited especially here in Philippines. I have discovered some organic/natural products overseas that are promising but then the price and shipping fee restrain me from purchasing. *sigh*

Onto the samples then? ;)

(man I suck at taking photos! please excuse the low quality of these pictures guys.my partner/photographer (lol) is busy with work so I'm on my own today.)

The box

The Curation Card

What I got:

3 FULL size items baby! :D

PIXI Tinted Brilliance Balm Magic Tink Tint - Happy Thoughts Pink

Full size: .10oz/PhP735

Sample size: .10oz

"Think happy thoughts as this subtly blooming, super-nourishing gel grayon tints your lips in true Tinker Bell style. With shea butter & lip-plumping hyaluronic acid, it will keep your lips in optimum condition."

I love this balm! It's tinted and it smells nice. It has a minty feel but goes away in few seconds. :) This tinted balm gives you a pretty pink glow and it moisturizes well. I could definitely use this one on school days! Will review this soon! ;)

Hollywood Style Light Summer Lotion

Full size: 275ml/PhP195

Sample size: 275ml

"Replenish skin with an instant burst of hydration! This 100% oil-free lotion is made with cucumber, aloe vera, vitamin E and natural sunscreen ingredients for a cool & fresh daily summertime protection."

wow! I think this made the box really heavy! The lotion smells nice..actually I think, it's a bit strong but tolerable. I have smelled it but haven't tried it. Again, this will be on my list of pending reviews. ;)

Droplets of Nature Beauty and Bright Moringa Soap

Full size: 130g/PhP114

Sample size: 130g

"Experience the beautifying extract of Moringa which effectively lightens skin. This is made more potent together with other extracts from Camellia, Candeia Extract and Love Plant."

yey!Another full size item! :) I've heard raves about this soap from beauty bloggers and I'm glad to finally try it for myself. Moringa has many skin benefits/nutrients that our  skin needs and I'm excited with this one! ;)

MOX Botanicals Lip Butter in Coconut Almondine

Full size: 0.2oz/PhP740

Sample size: 0.1oz

"Made with 100% natural ingredients, Mox Botanicals lip butters incorporates the benefits of shea and avocado butter with Jojoba and Meadowfoam Seed Oil to create a truly luxurious lip experience."

Okay at first I didn't see this one because it was hidden on the shredded papers/confetti and when I saw  Yette's review, I was like, "aww :( I want that balm!"..But I have this feeling like I need to recheck the items on the box and so I did! and voila! hehe..For the thrill, I will not give any quick review for this one.Will do a review soon. ;D

MIR & RYVI Papaya Soap

Full size: 140g/PhP250

Sample size: 1/4 I think?

"Made from organic papaya and mulberry extracts, this soap effectively lightens skin without harmful side effects. Mulberry Extract is a natural alternative to hydroquinone so you don't have to worry going out under the sun!"

So we meet again! - I actually have another sample which I got from March Saladbox. I got the tomato variant but I don't like it so I it gave to my mom. She said she liked the soap so I think I might give this a try. My thought about small soap samples still hasn't changed though. I think they should not limit us with tiny samples when it comes to soap because..come on! Soaps are inexpensive and I think, they should at least give us a full size one. Just saying. ;)

Bonus samples:

Regatta Leisure for Women

Full size: 50ml/PhP395

Sample size: 5ml

"Get a whiff of that dreamy place under the sizzling sun and cool blue water! Leisure for Women has a light and fresh fragrance for rose, musk, peony and patchouli perfect for everyday summer wear."

Regatta Leisure for Men

Full size: 50ml/PhP395

Sample size: 5ml

"Leisure for Men has varying top, middle and bottom notes of lemon,ginger,apple,sandalwood,amber and musk for the man of the outdoors and great adventures."

Perfume samples! :) Remember my weird idea of collecting perfume samples? yep! this two is now included in my collection! ;D

Final Thoughts:

I really love this month's samples and I'm glad that Glamourbox is consistent in giving us good service plus good contents. I was actually hoping that they'd include a sunscreen but what the hell! summer is about to close and school is about to start. Glad there's something that I could use for school (the tinted balm) so I'm a happy bunny! ;)

Is it worth the PhP595 subscription fee?YES.
Would I recommend Glamourbox?YES.
Would I subscribe again?Hopefully, YES.I'm waiting for them to open for May slots. :)
