I received something pretty special while I was in the hospital a few days ago. Something that really cheered me up!

Presenting my first and very own Glamourbox beauty box!

Now before I share with you the contents of this elegant box, a brief backgrounder

Mindanaoan first shared the news about Glamourbox Philippines via this post. Glamourbox, a premium online beauty subscription service in the Philippines, lets you try carefully selected deluxe beauty products before you buy the full sizes. The goodies are sent every month via courier. And all for only Php 595.00 per month! Pretty nice concept, di ba?

I loved the idea of receiving an elegant box with deluxe beauty samples – all carefully curated – every single month. I also liked the fact that one of the founders of Glamourbox beauty box is a fellow Dabawenya and Mindanaoan. You know me – I like to support anything that’s started by a fellow Mindanao entrepreneur

Anyways, without further ado – the contents of my Glamourbox beauty box!

Apologies for the quality of photos. Only used Louis the 48th (the iPad 2 I bought in New York hehe) Here’s a clearer photo of the contents of the Glamourbox November box (from the Glamourbox Philippines website)

My Glamour Box beauty box contained:

1. Eye of Horus mascara (full size, Php 1,290.00)
2. Shiseido Benefiance
3. Shiseido Benefiance Pop Up Mask
4. Yves Rocher Slimming Action concentrate
5. Ofra Cosmetics Lipstick Palette (full size, Php 1,050.00)
6. Bvlgari Omnia Amethyste sample
7. Calvin Klein Eternity Aqua sample

Bonuses:

1. Bvlgari Man sample
2. Burberry Sport sample
3. A Php 200 Yves Rocher gift card

Needless to say, I was impressed with the contents of the November box of Glamourbox Philippines. The Eye of Horus mascara is already worth way beyond the Php 595 monthly subscription fee! I can’t wait to try it real soon. Will share a review I also liked the Ofra lipstick palette and the Shiseido products. I also look forward to trying the Yves Rocher product, especially since I know Yves Rocher has effective yet affordable botanical products. The bonuses were a welcome surprise. Gave the perfume for men samples to my brother while I plan to use the Yves Rocher gift card next time I visit the Yves Rocher Centrio Mall branch.

What do you think of the beauty box I received? Pretty interesting, right?

Just in case you’re interested to subscribe to Glamourbox Philippines, here’s how it works:

As previously mentioned, the very affordable monthly service fee is Php 595.oo (roughly US $15.00)

Now like any other exciting offer, there’s a little catch Subscribers will not be told which products will be sent out. It’ll be a surprise
