I've had an off and on love affair with Glossybox since April of 2013. I've always loved their boxes and I've had the pleasure of receiving two of their limited edition boxes. The only problem I've ever had was with the shipping. I did cancel my sub, only to re-up this October for their collaboration box with Byrdie.com. The two major selling points on this months box were the Lights, Camera, Flashes mascara from Tarte and the Lotus Youth Preserve face cream from Fresh. These are both products I've never tried and have always wanted to, so I'm super excited to get the chance now.
The box came on time this month (actually early), that's a big plus for me. It was, as always, beautifully packaged and I loved opening it. I'm not really sure about the mascara now that I've seen it close up. It's packaged so differently than what I'm used to. It's almost a thick card board type package, only very shiny. It came with instructions on use, complete with a little sample brush to show you how to apply it. I'll let you all know what I think when I get a chance to try it out. The face cream by Fresh smells wonderful, like fresh cut cucumbers; which I love. I'll be using it tonight!!! It also came with a lip salve by Balance Me in the color beige. I'm just not sure about the color. I was hoping for the red, but I'll give it a try :) The last two items in the box were Sesha Renu exfoliating gel and BVLGARI Eau Parfumee. I have a lot of exfoliating products waiting for me to try and review, and I mean A LOT. So while I will give this a go, it'll be a while before I can give a review on it. The perfume will likely be given as a gift to my mom who loves these kinds of scents, it's not a bad scent by any means, it's just not for me. The bottle it came in is truly pretty.
The October Byrdie Glossybox overall was a great box, a good value with wonderful products. I paid $18.90 with a promo code (the code is no longer valid, otherwise I'd be sure to give it to you). The box normally sells for $21.00 per month as a monthly sub, but there are always promo codes out there, for either a discount or a bonus item with sign up.

Life is a gift!!!! Open it, live it!!! <3
