60 Second Beauty: Glossybox Beauty Subscription Service

Glossybox review

Do you subscribe to a beauty subscription service? Not sure which one's right for you? There are tons of choices and equally as many reviews out there, but I wanted to share my experience with one popular company called Glossybox. Glossybox is a luxury beauty box subscription service that contains 5-6 products each month. Most products are travel size while some months you'll get 1, 2 or even 3 full-size products (it's always a surprise). Subscriptions range from $21 for one month to $220 for one year. For my complimentary trial, I got the "International Style" box. Here's what was included and what I thought about each product:

5 Under $50: Pretty Pastels

Spring 2013 Fashion Trend: Pretty Pastels

Some things in fashion require a leap of faith - like wearing neon at the office or wearing mixed prints head-to-toe. But pastel hues for spring? Total no brainer. Here are 5 pretty pastel picks under $50 that I'm loving right now:



  1. Joe Fresh Aqua Blouse, $39: This 100% silk shirt comes in girly hues like aqua, pink and pale yellow, while the classic buttoned up shape lends an air of sophistication.


  2. Kardashian Kollection Mint Jeans, $29.99 (down from $68): Everyone needs this irresistible shade of mint green denim in their closet. Try code SAVENOW! to get an extra 15% off through April 1, 2013.


  3. Candy Bubbles Earrings, $15: These lilac baubles are exactly what the name suggests: Candy for your ears! The simple shape has a chic retro vibe, too, that's so on-trend for 2013.


  4. "Pinking of You" Bag, $34: From new-to-me boutique Harmony Belle comes this delicious pale-coral crossbody-bag that will add a subtle pop of color to your spring wardrobe.


  5. Payless "Jordyn" T-Strap Pumps, $26.99: These ladylike heels will be easy to pair with skirts, dresses and ankle pants for spring. The tough part will be choosing between yellow, mint or pink.
