May Topbox Unboxing

Hey all!

I received my May Topbox in the mail this morning and after the whole Glymm debacle, I was SO excited to get it since I didn't receive my last Glymm box and I am not disappointed!

The first thing that I received in my Topbox was a full sized product - Cuccio Colour Nail Lacqeur. It's a neutral shade and I love that because I really don't have many. I'm really excited to try this product out. Full Size: $10.

I also received a sample of Lise Watier Haute Couleur High Coverage Lip Lacqeur in colour 343 Stylista and it's a really beautiful pink colour. The sample size was 1.5 mL and the full size is 6 mL and is $23.

The next product was a shadow refill from the Yaby cosmetics line and Copper Wire. I swatched this eye shadow and the first thing I noticed was the texture - it was super silky, not grainy. The colour payoff is awesome, it's highly pigmented and just looks beautiful. I apologize for the poor focus! -.-


The last product I received was the Roberto Cavalli Shower gel and it smells AMAZING. The sample size is 1.0 fl oz. and the full size is $80. 

This ambery floral fragrance illuminates with pink peppercorn, orange flower absolute and roasted tonka beans.

I am pretty happy with the box that I received this month and can't wait to try everything out!

I hope you all loved your boxes this month.

Have a beautiful day lovelies :)

Glymm goes under...

I have been completely MIA for quite a while, but I have been crazy busy with school and projects and tests that I have barely had time to sleep! However, I am done school next week and can finally get back into writing!

The last blog post that I wrote was when I had received probably my last Glymm box and it has been nonstop problems with them since (anyone who subscribes to Glymm knows!) and for the last month and a half or so, there has been no communication on Glymm's part with their subscribers and rumours that they have gone bankrupt. Whether this was truly the case or not, I'm not sure. However, Glymm has finally, after a month, announced that they will no longer be able to serve us as Glymm.

Dang.

There goes my money.

I am totally and completely unimpressed at the entire situation and disappointed in Glymm's lack of business ethics. Despite the fact that you are and have been going under for this long, despite the fact that you have had absolutely no communication to subscribers for weeks and the fact that you've failed to provide a product that was purchased back in the first week of FEBRUARY....you STILL continue to charge customers for MAY, knowing you can't provide what they're buying.

what the heck?

I can't say I didn't see this coming, because who didn't? Their customer service started slipping, the products got worse and worse as the months wore on and I was becoming less and less impressed with the company.

Everyone who has invested in Glymm and have purchased year memberships, I advise you to contact your credit card company immediately. They have now announced that they can no longer provide the product you purchased, so 1 year subscribers are now able to start claims in attempts to receive their money back.

I sincerely hope everyone is able to get back what they put in. This isn't fair, but it's life.

Have a BEAUTIFUL day everyone, keep smiling :)
