April GlossyBox

So is GlossyBox’s new motto: Good things come to those who wait?

Everyone has been itching, and sitting impatiently, waiting for their April GlossyBox to come in the mail. It finally arrived on the very last day of the month.

One thing that bothers me about beauty subscription boxes, is that there never is a set date as to when they get mailed out. If you ask them on their Facebook fan page, or on twitter, the companies come back with a vague answer. In this case, GlossyBox said their boxes will be mailed out during the month of April. Well, jeeze I sure hope so. Since it is a monthly box. Sure enough, it arrived.

Let’s take a peak inside shall we?

April GlossyBox

I knew this box was heavy when I recieved it in the mail! Look at all that stuff.

Can you spot the three full sized products? Boom. Nice job GlossyBox.

A closer look at April’s GlossyBox. Remember, GlossyBox costs $15/month + free shipping, and look at all the goodies we have, add up those prices for yourself. The box more than pays for itself with this:

Skin Care Shower Gel by Elizabeth Grant (Full size! Retails for $20.00)
Aveeno Positively Radient Daily Moisturizer (Full size! Retails for $22.99)
Marcelle Xtension Plus Mascara (Full size! Retails for $12.50)
Wella Brilliance Conditioner (Sample size)
Wella Brilliance Treatment (Sample size)

Don’t forget our black little envelope. Inside?

Another sample!

This is Marcelle’s BB Cream. Check out my review on Marcelle BB cream, I own and still use this product.

Value wise, this is the best bang for my buck for being my third GlossyBox that I’ve ever received. Third time’s a charm, right? Either that, or three strikes and you’re out. But no, I will continue to subscribe to GlossyBox as I am pleased with what I have received this month.

I purchased this box myself with my GlossyDot points!

McHappy Day May 2, 2012

McHappy DayIt’s no stranger to anyone that knows me, that I am a huge McDonalds fan. I rarely stray off my regular order of a plain cheeseburger (nothing on it but a patty, and cheese). Sometimes I get a nice chocolate shake, but usually I get the meal with a Root Beer to drink.

Today, I’m blogging for a cause. Because McDonalds needs our help to raise awareness and money for the 19th annual McHappy Day which is of course, taking place so very soon on May 2, 2012.  If you don’t know what the deal with McHappy Days is. It raises funds for children’s charities across the country. Remember Ronald McDonald Houses? That’s one of them! McHappy days are quite successful and over the past 8 years they’ve raised $30+ million for these Canadian charities.

How can you participate in McHappy Day? Easy!

On May 2, 2012, purchase a Big Mac, Happy Meal or hot McCafe beverage and McDonalds Canada will donate $1.00 to local children’s charities such as the Ronald McDonald Houses. Please note that 100% of your $1.00 goes towards said charities.

Spread the word on Wednesday even on twitter with the hashtag: #McHappyDay.

Will you be participating?

I am participating in the McHappy Day Blogger Program by ShesConnected. I received compensation for my posts exchange for my participation in this campaign. All opinions are honest and always my own.
