My first Glossybox was the 2nd US box, with the theme Summer Simplicity. It was the June 2012 box, and boy, have they come a long way!

My first Glossybox was the 2nd US edition box (June 2012) and initially I decided that it wasn't worth the higher price because I got so many tiny tiny samples. Yes, the eyeshadow was full sized, but otherwise I wasn't blown away (the products themselves were good, I just expected so much more after all the build up and the sneak preview boxes they'd sent to some bloggers.) Then I regretted my decision after seeing some other people's July boxes, so I signed back up in time for the August box. Thank goodness! The August box was THE BOMB, and I have remained a faithful subscriber ever since.

The March 2013 Spring Fling box was UH-MAZING.
Elite Models - Matt Liquid Liner in Matt Brown ($15.00/.09 oz) (and yes, they spelled matte that way, not me!)Intensity, precision, and resistance brought together in one product! Waterproof and long lasting, the liner won't budge all day long. Its precise applicator allows you to adjust the thickness of the line the way you like it. The texture dries very quickly and the colors are deep and intense.

Koh Gen Do Cosmetics - Oriental Plants Emollient Cream ($123.00/1.06 oz)

So WOW! No packettes, no teeny tiny one use tubes, but full sized and deluxe sized items! I'm about to wet my pants in anticipation of their one year anniversary box!
PS. In my video review of the march box, I totally trashed Sebastian Shaper. That stuff reeks to high heaven. The smell literally makes me nauseous. Why didn't it bother me when I was a big haired punk rock teenager? Maybe the cloves killed my ability to smell anything. But believe it or not, the Shaper Fierce has, like, no scent at all practically! That stuff is awesome!
