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!
