Glossybox October 2014 Unboxing plus Free Alex & Ani with Subscription!

My October Glossybox arrived yesterday and I realized I've been really bad about reviewing these...I think I skipped the last two months! I started this subscription in July and figured if it's not worth it, I'd cancel (it's my most expensive subscription box at $25), but every month, I love what they give me so I haven't cancelled yet! 

Out of all the boxes I get, this one is the most nicely packaged in a pale pink box with a black satin ribbon inside tying it all together, it's like getting a gift! Since they give mostly high end brands in thier boxes, it makes sense that the packaging should be upscale as well!

They always send an info card that details the products and also gives fun tips on how to use them! 

I was so excited to open the box and see three full size products right away, plus the largest perfume sample I've ever seen! 

Also in the box was a $40 coupon for Hello Fresh, which is a meal delivery service. You choose 3 meals for $69 and they'll ship all the premeasured ingredients right to your door in a cooler box. I may have to try this!!

The first product in the box was a full size Tarte LipSurgence Power Pigment ($24) in Awakening, which is a rosy-nude shade, that I really like. I reviewed this same product in the shade Exposed last winter and at the time, it felt really dry on my lips. When I tried it today, it's actually not bad...it's not as moisturizing as lip balm, but it feels better than lipstick. My lips aren't as dry right now since it's still in the 60's where I live. 

 Here's the shade swatched on my skin...

And on my lips... It's highly pigmented, goes on smoothly, and stains your lips for quite a while. The only thing about it that I don't really like is that it has a subtle minty smell that reminds me of the waxed mint dental floss.

Next is a full sized Proganix Anti-Fade Weightless Argan Oil + UV Protection ($12). The Proganix line showed up at Target recently and I was thisclose to buying this exact product! Good thing I didn't since I got the full size right here. This spray smells wonderful and when I tested it out on my already dry hair, it left it with incredible shine. I'll have to try it on damp hair this week.

 Next is a full size Nails Inc. London. Westminster Bridge Matte Topcoat ($10). This will turn any nail polish you own into a trendy matte shade. I'm definitely trying this next time I do my nails!

Next is Vince Camuto's AMORE Eau de Parfume in an adorable mini size ($10). This fruity floral starts with fresh cut flowers and fragrant fruits atop a base of comforting cashmere, rich amber, and earthy sandalwood. It's very sweet yet also fresh smelling.

 Last but not least is a Botanical Hydro Mask by Sesha ($9). This is a one-time-use sheet mask that delivers moisturizing cucumber, green tea and marigold to give the skin an anti-inflamnatory, soothing boost. I'll definitely be trying this!

This Glossybox had a total value of $65!  This was one of my favorite Glossyboxes to date and I'll use every single thing in this box. I plan to stick with them for a while, because so far I haven't been disappointed.
Also, I wanted to tell you about a new promo that's going on right now...you'll get a Free ALEX AND ANI BANGLE ($38 value) with any new subscription.   Just use Coupon Code ALEXANI until November 25th to redeem.  Glossybox is $25 a month and you can cancel after one month if it's not for you...there's no long term commitment.
