Impressions
I was satisfied with 3/4 items in this box, and the items were deluxe (2 were even full sized) so I guess I'd say this was a good month for Glymm.
I'm not sure if it's because I'm becoming a bit tired of beauty boxes, or tired of beauty items, or if I'm just severely sleep deprived, or hungry, but I wasn't even excited to run to my mail box and claim my box. And I didn't feel much enjoyment when I opened it either. I don't know, I'm having issues. Anyhoo.

Never heard of the brand Ocean, but full sized nail polish is always much appreciated. The color I got, Special Effects, is an intense/dark Christmas red color...which is exaaaactly what I was looking for...at Christmas time (and I never did find one either). It's not a color I'd wear off-holiday, and not what I'd consider a Spring Fling appropriate color. But you can bet I'll be wearing it in December, hah.

M.Asam Magic Fini cream is a BB cream, which promises "to conceal uneven skin tone for a light, matte, natural looking finish It smoothes away the appearance of wrinkles, enlarged pored and imperfections to reveal a sun kissed health looking skin tone. It's magical". This cream has a one-color-fits-all-skin-colors.
I did a quick research on it, and apparently it just magically fits your skin tone once it's applied (really?), Apparently, it's just that magical. In the pot it's a darkish tan color, and I'm fair skinned.
When I swatched it on my hand, it did blend in nicely, however it clumped up...probably because my skin was too dry. Haven't tried on my (also dry) face, but I have a feeling this is a rather drying cream that is much better for oily skin types.
I think I'll stick to my holy grail BB cream, though (Missha Vita BB Cream, in case you were wondering. Love this stuff).

Green feather hair extensions? That's a miss for me. Maybe if I was in Vegas. Which I was, but last week. Not sure what to do with these.

I'm happy for the Anastasia lip gloss...teeny tiny sample (surprising that full size is only about double this sample size, though). I have a lot of glosses that still need to be used, so I haven't tried this. I got a bright pink color which I'm feeling doubtful that I can pull off.

And the bonus...bonuses are always good. I got this same sample previously from Glymm (in December) which was also a bonus at that time. I still haven't tried it, nor am I crazy bout it, but the best price is free!

Unboxing: December's Luxe Box

Luxe Box (by Loose Button) is a monthly beauty box subscription service, where each month they deliver 4-5 deluxe-sized samples by luxury brands, 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.

Here's my December Luxe Box.

Contents

DDF Advanced Firming Cream - sample size (full size 48g/$140)
Moroccan Oil Original Oil Treatment - deluxe sample size (full size 100ml/$41)
Prada Candy - 1.5 ml (full size 50ml/$96)
Prada Infusion D'Iris 1.5 ml (full size 50ml/$95)
Lise Water Plumpissimo le Gloss - sample size (full size 6.2ml/$20)
Loose Button chocolate coin

Impressions

Considering this was my first box, and a holiday box at that, I wasn't that impressed. The only item I ended up using was the Lise Water gloss- very pretty color and felt nice and moisturizing against my lips.

What I disliked the most were the perfume samples; while I'd much prefer make-up samples to perfume, I don't quite mind receiving samples since I'm rarely at the perfume counter. However, I don't feel these 1.5ml sample sizes would be considered deluxe beauty samples. Or maybe I'm more disgruntled because I didn't care for either scent...or maybe because the items I got this month seem rather lackluster compared to what other people received in their December box.

I gave the Moroccan Oil and DDF cream to my sister. I don't feel I need any anti-aging cream...yet.

Will I continue my subscription?
Yes. I decided I'll give it another 1-2 months before deciding to discontinue or not.
