Unboxing: January's Glymm Box

It's here!! 
I admit, I'm not a very patient girl, so I've been reading a lot of other peoples' blogs/Youtube videos to get an idea of what my month's box would contain. 
I got exactly what I hoped I'd get...I think I'll end up using/trying each item from this month this time (compared to December's box).

 For those that don't know, Glymm is a monthly beauty box subscription service, where each month, they send 4-5 deluxe-sized beauty samples from luxury brands, all in a pretty little box. It's one of the four beauty box subscriptions in Canada; there is also Loose Button, Top Box, and (just recently) Glossybox.





Contents

Free lip shine upon purchase at glymm.com before Jan 31/12 ($25)


Total estimated value of the box
$53.48, or $28.48 if I don't get the lip shine (I feel that it's less of a deal if I have to buy something online that I don't really want to get in the first place, to get something in return).


Impressions

I will end up trying every single item here. Plus a full sized black eye pencil that in itself exceeds the price of the subscription? Can't really go wrong. Who can't use a black pencil? (Don't answer that). 
Can't wait to try the facial cleanser tonight; I have been looking for new cleansers to use.

I tried the cream earlier; and I like it. It's not greasy feeling and it does feel hydrating. I didn't get to wear it for very long (too much hand cleaning) so not sure on it's 24 hr moisturizing guarantee. Didn't care much for the scent...was a mix of honey and milk. Luckily, I find it subtle enough that I didn't feel like wanting to wash it off immediately after applying.


Will I continue my subscription?
Definitely, yes!
