After a bit of a mis-step start with Glymm (they never shipped me my January box even though it was paid for), I was put on the regular subscription programme and lo and behold, here appeared my February box!
It's pink...And I love it. Shipped in a pink outside box, the Glymm box is all shiny and fun looking.

| What's inside here I wonder? |
Note: The Glymm lady, while her makeup is quite well done, does look a little... concave.

| Exclusive offer for Glam Glow from Glymm |
Flipping the card over (pic above) gives us a list of the items enclosed, a short description and their prices of the full sized versions. Looks professional to me and no spelling mistakes (I look for this as a quality control thing - weird I know).
There was also a card with an exclusive offer for Glam Glow, the masque sample included in this months box. More on that later.

| Well hello sample treats! |
After pulling back the tissue paper, this is what I was presented.
Mai Couture Bronzer Blotting Paper sample
Sula Cream Eyeshadow (full size)
Glam Glow Masque sample
Burts Bees Tinted Lip Balm (Full Size)
 |
| Blot to Bronze by Mai Couture |
Blot & Bronze by Mai Couture is a combination of a blotting paper with a bronzing agent. I actually used it today and gently rubbed it against the areas of my face which I would typically use regular bronzer. It gave a slight iridescent sheen to my skin with slight bronzing. I liked it very much!

| Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm |
 |
| Colour = Tiger Lily |
Ahhh. Burt's Bees. My go to product when my lips need some TLC. This particular formulation I have not tried before. Apparently it is an award winner. The colour I received is a lovely peachy Tiger Lily. And it is a full size product.

| Sula Natural Creme Shadow |
 |
| Colour = He Loves Me |
Sula Creme Eyeshadow in He Loves Me. Full Size and is a really delicate pink with plenty of shimmer. I applied it a couple of times and wore it throughout the day. My piece of advice is to wear a primer under it as it does have a tendency to crease on my eyelids. While it does have sparklies, it is more of a shimmer as opposed to big chunks of glittery what not!

| Glam Glow Exfoliating Mask |
Glam Glow Exfoliating Mask (or Masque as I like to refer to it). I am happy I received this as my face has been looking like a dried out, flaky catchers mitt for a while. I have used it twice and while it was a little funky going on and while it was working, I have been very happy with the results!
A better review of this product in another post. I am planning on purchasing a full size of this and will give the results after consistent use for a period of time.
So my overall thoughts of my first official (and complete) Glymm box is on the whole very positive. Four products I have never used previously and ultimately all made me happy. The only shortcoming was the Sula eye shadow in that I would have enjoyed a more vibrant purple colour to go with my green eyes but hey, I can make the pink work.
Looking forward to my March offering from Glymm!
