Glamourbox July 2014: Beauties and Babies


If theres one thing I really loved about Glamourbox, is they ship order as early as possible. I checked out my box last Friday and it came in the mail today. So here we go, another unboxing post!



The theme for last month box is Beauties and Babies. Actually, I don't have a plan to avail this box due to its theme. I am not a Mommy and not expecting to be a Mommy, tho Motherhood is such an exciting moment in any woman's life, but I don't have a plan as of now. I'm too young to become a Mommy and don't have money to support my future baby, hehe. So let me find a work first. No. Let me find a good-rich-responsible-husband-to-be so I dont need to work. KIDDDDING! :) So why did I avail this box? Simply because it is a Glamourbox and I superb love Glamourbox plus I have a niece and nephews they can use some of the items inside and I have an uber sensitive skin and I guess some of the items inside can be beneficial for me.

All right, let's stop the idle chatter and cut to the chase. There are lots of Mustela products in this box, and again, I'm not familiar with this product but it reminds me of Cethapil. Tho Im an avid fan of Cetaphil but Im not closing my door to the other products and will surely give it a try. and here are the Mustela products in this box:



From left to right:


1. Mustela 9 Months Comfort Nursing Balm (Full size 30ml/690PHP) 

It soothes tightness and irritations that come with breastfeeding. With shea butter, glycerin and sea salt. This balm protect and repairs nipple skin. It is a very promising product but I find it useless for me.

2. Mustela bebe Physiobebe Cleansing Fluid (Full size 300ml/690PHP)

A no-rinse cleanser gently dissolve dirt while softening the skin with avocado perseose and aloe vera. This product is perfect for those lazy nights when I dont want to wash my face. :)

3. Mustela 9 Months Stretch Marks Double Action (Full size 250ml/1990PHP)

It increase the skin's resistance against stretch-marks. It preserves the skin and improves its suppleness and elasticity. This is an excellent product, since theres no exception with stretch-marks whether your pregnant or not everyone is prone to stretchmark (Thats what I believe). And I believe that prevention is better than cure. :)

4. Mustela bebe Vitamin Barrier Cream (Full size 100ml/490PHP)

This one is for diaper rash. It prevents the first signs of rashes early on.
I will just give it to my nephews.

Lets now proceed with the Sebamed line, I received Sebamed in their previous box and it is a good product. Here they are:





1. Sebamed Baby Bubble Bath (Full size 200ml/425PHP)

With the right concentration it will surely protect your baby's skin. It has a 5.5 pH just the right concentration for babies skin. This smell's so divine!

2. Sebamed Baby Children's Shampoo (Full size 150ml/425)

Same with the bubble bath it has a 5.5pH so your young one's scalp are in good hands with this shampoo. I'm not excited with this one since I have a newly permed hair.

and here are the other products that are included in this box:




Bio-oil (Full size 60ml/425PHP)
I heard a lot of raves with this scars, uneven skin tone, dehydrated skin and stretch marks remover. It is a multi-purpose oil infused with breakthrough ingredient PurCellin oil it is easily absorbed by the skin, to help repair and heal skin woes.



Eden's Paradise Whitening Blue Salve (Full Size 40g/495PHP)
Target darker areas of your skin with this micro-skin peeling salve with natural-oils. One of my favorites in this box everyone knows I'm obsessed in skin whitening products tho none of them are effective.


Natasha Beauty Heel Mate (Full size 25g/195PHP)
Heel mate is made with coconut oil, shea butter and olive fruit oil to keep skin in tip-top shape. I don't have a cracked-heel problem so Ill give this to my father he is a foot spa addict lol.


Milea Baby Sniffles Balm and Sleep Balm (Full size 50g/350PHP and 16.5g/150PHP)
Sniffles balm for your baby's cough and cold, and sleep balm for those night when you cant stop the chatter and the baby flutter. Sleep balm is my favorite since its always been my dream to hit the bed as early as possible. :)


Lil Tots Baby Wipes ( Full size 60pcs/65PHP)
To wipe away dirt and germs that could harm your precious little ones. This one is very useful and practical since it is an everyday essential.

Recap:

I realized that having a baby is not a joke all the products above are too pricey when you purchased them in full size, although you have a lot of options in the market, but I'm sure that all moms out there wants the best product for their babies. :) As with the box value it is only 890php I exclude the sample size product in the computation. The subscription fee is 595PHP, maybe you guys are thinking that this box is not sulit. Actually  for me it is not sulit but it is worth it specially if you have a baby you can use all the products, and even if you don't have a baby all the products are good and usable except the Mustela nursing cream, but beside that, all of them are good for everyday use. Thats all, ciao! :)

Unboxing June-July 2014 Salad box: Missha exclusive

Happy Sunday everyone! Hoorayyyyy! to another unboxing post! :)

I receive this box last Friday and this is my fourth box from Salad box. I subscribed at them last April since they have a promo 2000php for 6 months subscription and I have a 200 OFF voucher from them so I get the 6 months subscription for 1800php only and when you divide it by 6, its only 300php for each box. Good deal right? :)

June-July 2014 Box
This is their June-July 2014 box. I don't know where to put my excitement when I found out that this is a Missha exclusive box. I love Korean cosmetics! Ive tried a lot of Korean make ups from different Korean brand but I haven't tried any Missha cosmetics, maybe because theres only a few store that carry this brand. That's why Im really glad that finally Ill be able to try this brand. Last months Saladbox theme was referred to as "Korean Beauty". According to their box's curation card " We envied the beauty of the women we see on famous Koreanovelas (Hell yeah, specially Jun Ji Hyun) and on ads of lots of Korean beauty bramds here in the country so much that most of us wish to have the same clear skin and awesome make up".

and now the most awaited and most exciting part, lets now take a look at the contents of this box.

35ml, 799php
The Style Makeup Base
This makeup primer helps maintain your makeup's silky soft finish throughout the day.
Im not usually using a makeup primer but I will give it a try. 

599php
The Style Lucid Berry Lip Gloss
This jelly textured lip gloss has a sweet fruity scent and adds extra shine to your lips.
I already tried and swatched this lip gloss awhile ago. The berry scent is very addicting to the point the I want to taste it haha. The texture is too thick that makes it hard to blend with the lipstick and it is to glittery.

150php
Syn-ake Cotton Sheet Mask
Infused with the anti-wrinkle 'syn-ake peptide', fight aging with this cult favorite!


Full size 1500php
Super Aqua Cell Renew Snail Skin Treatment
It is a skin awakening booster, it firms skin foundation and promotes glowing skin. Im so excited to try this and see if its really effective tho Ill not be able to see the desired result since the sample size is too tiny. But its okay the yellow dwarfy container is too cute. :)

Full size 1700php
Super Aqua Cell Renew Snail Essential Moisturizer
Moisturize and treat your face with this fragrant moisturizer to get silky smooth skin. This moisturizer has a slightly lemon scent and it is quickly absorbs by the skin. I tried it last night and same with the snail skin treatment they only provided a super tiny sample size so Ill not be able to see the desired result. 

Full size 850php
Super Aqua Refreshing Cleansing Foam
This cleanser removes impurities with its Sweet Flag and Willow Bank Extracts. This is just a bonus item.

Full size 1800php
L'eau de Missha Eau de Parfum in Stay Beside Me
This light and flirty fragrance will make him beg you to "stay beside him" all day long. A bonus item also.

Recap:



Honestly this is the best box I received from them.There are 3 full size and 4 sample size poducts in this box. And considering for a 300 php subscription box I can say that it is really worth it, the box value is 1519php almost 5 times the subscription fee. Each of the product included in this box are all good and it is from  a well known Korean brand. Compared to the previous box (May box) this box is much better. Im just hoping that they will continue this kind of service. :)
