Glossy Box: Bergdorf Goodman Edition

Well, this was a pleasant surprise...

For some crazy reason, I was convinced that I wouldn't be getting this particular box.  It seemed way too soon to be getting another one, and I wrote the whole thing off as one of those special purchases that you have to opt into and promptly forgot about it.

Smash cut to last weekend: guess what showed up in my mailbox!

1. Napoleon Perdis Auto Pilot Pre-Foundation Skin Primer (full size: $45)

I'm not really a huge primer girl, but I'm coming around to the Maybelline Baby Skin.  As excited as I am to try this one, I'm not sure anything will get me to spend more than the $8 (or whatever the Baby Skin costs) on a primer.

2. Revive Eye Renewal Serum Firming Booster (full size: $140)
Serums are fun!  I'll give it a shot!  Won't spend that much on the full size!

3. Philip B Lightweight Deep Conditioning Creme Rinse (full size: $26)
Fun fact: this sample has the least expensive full-sized counterpart.  This box is fancy, y'all.  Anyway, I love me a good deep conditioner, and this size will be great for travel.

4. Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme Cologne Absolute (full size: $140)
I love this scent.  It reminds me a bit of the Jimmy Choo perfume that I wore on my wedding day, which may certainly contribute to that.  My husband also approved of this scent, so: bonus!

5. Lancer Eye Contour Lifting Cream (full size: $95)
I'm not completely loving the eye cream that I'm currently using anymore, so I'm excited to switch it up and give this one a shot.

6. Lancome Absolute L'Extrait Regenerating Ultimate Elixir (full size: $360)
Near as I can tell, this is a moisturizer (and quite the luxurious one, at that).  It smells just lovely, and I think it will be an exciting little departure from my trusty Aveeno.

The Bergdorf Goodman box also included a $25 gift card to the store, which means that the Hourglass blush in Dim Infusion is on its way to my hot little hands.  Score!

If you received the Bergdorf Glossy Box, what did you think?  Any products that differed from mine?

Glossy Box Unboxing, March 2014

I usually make a pretty concerted effort to avoid being spoiled about what's in my ipsy or Glossy Box each month.  This month, I was not so lucky.  I was late to the GB game, so I didn't get mine till the beginning of April, which left a lot of time to stumble on photos on Intstagram and to notice the bracelet on my friend's wrist, ask her about it and immediately kind of regret it.

Still, what has been seen cannot be unseen, and I was super anxious to get my GB this month!  Normally with subscription services, there's one or two items that instantly get shoved into my samples drawer where they will remain for the rest of time, but I really think I'll be trying out all the products included this month:

1. Alex and Ani Scent 7 Body Mist -- This one needed a few minutes to grow on me; I sprayed some product out to get a good sense of the fragrance, and my first thought was "Hello, when did my kitchen become an Aveda salon?"  It's got a woodsy, rosemary-y scent that's very similar to Aveda products, but the more I smell it, the more I like it.

2. Alterna Haircare Bamboo Plumping Strand Expand -- I remember someone raving about this product (or possibly something similar) on YouTube a while back, and I recognized the brand right away.  My hair is fairly fine, but there's a lot of it, so I'm excited to see how this works on my head.

3. Etre Belle Cosmetics Liplift Peel -- Who can't use a good lip exfoliator?  I generally use my own concoction of olive oil and brown sugar, but I have no qualms about replacing my homemade remedy with this little guy for a few nights.

4. Nails Inc Brook Street Nail Polish -- This is such a pretty color!  I've been toying with the idea of picking up a good pinky-coral nail polish for spring, and now I don't have to!

5.  Sisley Paris Black Rose Cream Mask -- An anti-aging mask with a delightful rose scent?  Why not??  Here's hoping I don't completely fall in love with it, as the full size is $158...

6. Alex and Ani Charm Bangle -- I've heard a lot about this brand lately, and I'd been wanting to look into getting some of their pieces.  Now that I've tried this Energy charm bracelet, I'm anxious to get some more and start stacking!
