July Glossy Box

Today I finally received my July Glossy Box! And I also cancelled my Glossy Box subscription today! I originally signed up for GB because of all the full size products we were getting for only $15 a month. However, this month I received the V3 box which was the lowest value box. I am kinda disappointed with what I received this month and decided to quit because I have too many samples.

I want to try and work through all of the beauty stuff I've amassed already and use the $15 a month towards buying the books for the Book Club I joined at my local Indigo Books & Music. Maybe down the road if the boxes get better and I'm in need of some new samples and products I will subscribe again.

Now on to the products...
 

ZOYA NAIL POLISH

Colour Name - Wednesday

Sample Value - 15mL/$8.00

Full Size - 15mL/ $8.00

- ON THE CARD -

Summer 2012 is going to be a super stylish season for nails with the latest offering, designed by the Zoya experts. It is kissed by sea and sand with the famous, full-coverage Zoya formula. FULL SIZE!

- MY THOUGHTS -

I have never tried a Zoya polish so I am excited to get to try it and a full size to boot. However, I already have 4 different brands in this exact colour. It would have been nice to receive a colour I don't already own but I am glad I at least got a colour I know I will wear. My mom tried this polish with one coat and it looked really nice.



ALESSANDRO INTERNATIONAL

Sample Value - 30mL/$5.99

Full Size - 100mL/$19.95

- ON THE CARD -

Pedix Heel Rescue Balm protects and nourishes your skin with Shea butter, allantoin and tea-tree-oil.

- MY THOUGHTS -

We got a foot cream last month so I wasn't thrilled to see another one but my feet have been super dry lately so this will be of use. I didn't open the seal but from what I can tell it smells really good.

 JOHN FRIEDA FRIZZ-EASE XTRA STRENGTH SERUM

Sample Value - 24mL/$7.20

Full Size - 50mL/$14.99

- ON THE CARD -

Instantly and dramatically transforms coarse, wiry, unruly frizz for ultra-sleek, purely polished, super-shiny results. FULL SIZE!

- MY THOUGHTS -

I just received a sample this size of the Frizz Ease Hair Cream for FREE from John Frieda directly so getting this in a box I paid for isn't ideal but I will use it. GB said that this is a Full Size on the card but actually it is only a sample because the full size is actually 50mL and we only received 24mL.

EUCERIN

Sample Value - 5mL/$0.30

Full Size - 200g/$12.00

- ON THE CARD -

Eucerin Calming Creme is a daily soothing moisturizer that prevents the reoccurrence of itchiness and reduces the risk of further irritation due to dryness. Calming Creme contains Natural Colloidal Oatmeal and its fragrance-free glycerin formula provides hydration for 24 hours.

- MY THOUGHTS -

This is the sample that got me and everyone else who got a V3 box so outraged. This tiny sample is something you can get for free at any store or directly from the company. It is not a sample we expect to see when we are paying $15 for the box. Also, people were seeing it as unfair that V1 got a full size John Frieda and Burt's Bees, V2 got a full size Burt's Bees and we got this.

DOVE SOFTENING CREME BODY WASH

Sample Value - 200mL/$5.99

Full Size - 200mL/$5.99

- ON THE CARD -

Get visibly more beautiful skin in just 1 week. Use daily for soft, smooth skin. FULL SIZE!

- MY THOUGHTS -

I have really dry skin on my legs and arms so I am excited to try this product. However because it is a Limited Offer product if I fall in love with it I may not be able to buy it.

BEAUTYSOCLEAN SANITIZER WIPES

Sample Value - 4 wipes/$1.04

Full Size - 48 wipes/$12.50

- ON THE CARD -

These convenient cosmetic sanitizer wipes are effective for sanitizing makeup that accumulates visible debris like dust, lint and food particles.

- MY THOUGHTS -

I am excited to try these. I had to throw away a bunch of makeup because it just wasn't sanitary anymore. I might buy the full size of these.

OVERALL VALUE - $28.52

Surprise Samples - John Frieda Elite Club

So last week when I went to the mailbox, something so mundane and routine, I was surprised to see a small black box in my mailbox from John Frieda. Now I sign up for a lot of samples, but I have never signed up for anything from John Frieda, just a newsletter for their Elite Club.

This little package of samples made my day and was like an early birthday present. I just wanted to share this with the wonderful ladies who read my blog, so they could sign up for the John Frieda Elite Club and maybe get some samples as well.

Follow the link below to sign up for FREE and start receiving the perks of being part of the Elite Club.

Link to John Frieda Elite Club Sign Up Page

These are the samples I was sent. They were hand-picked for me based on the Hair Survey I filled out when I signed up. I cannot wait to try these products out and hopefully do a review if they work for me. Thanks John Frieda!

Disclaimer: I received these samples because I am part of the John Frieda Elite Club. I am not being sponsored or compensated by John Frieda for this blog post. I just wanted to share this way to possibly get samples of hair products. Just because I received samples does not mean that everyone does or will.
