Hi everyone!

I know this is quite late since half of the month has passed. I’ve been a bit busy but I’ve finally gotten the chance to write down my thoughts on Glamourbox’s special edition Avon box. I was really excited when I received this box because it’s my first beauty box subscription. I’m glad that I was able to see some reviews on the box before I decided to take the plunge and purchase this box too. :) The box arrived a few days right after I placed my order which was very nice. Anyway, let’s dig in to the box and see what’s inside! :D I will be reviewing the box in general and will be writing individual reviews for most, if not all the products in the box on my future posts.

I was so excited to receive such a pretty, chic and simple white box. I’d like to note that the box is well-made and sturdy. I’ll be using it again to put miscellaneous stuff (it would be such a waste to throw this pretty box away)!

The box includes a whopping total of 12 items; 6 of which are FULL SIZED products while 6 of which are sample sized items:

Avon True Color Eye Shadow Quad in purple pop P449

This is a gorgeous eyeshadow quad and it’s the same quad that I used for my Avon You Make It Beautiful Blogger Challenge. I enjoy using colors like these but I think more people would be drawn to a neutral palette. :)

Avon Ideal Luminous Blush in Peach (P370)

This is a gorgeous shade! At first glance, it reminds me of NARS orgasm. Wait for me review on this and you’ll find out if this is a dupe for NARS orgasm.

Avon Skin Goodnes Moisturizing BB Cream SPF2-++/PA in shade o2 (P420)

I’m on a lookout for a new BB cream so I got really excited when I saw that the box contained a BB cream. :) This was a little bit dark for me but I’ll review this further on a separate blog post.

Avon Anew Vitale Day Cream (p399)

I’m also really into skin care right now so I’m excited to try out this moisturizer! :)

From top to bottom: Avon supershock waterproof mascara in Black (p420), Avon Ultra Color Lipstick in Hibiscus (p379) and Avon Ultra Glazewear Lip Gloss in Fiery Red (p299)

This mascara was in my kit for Avon’s You Make It Beautiful Blogger Challenge so I already had a chance to try it out. I’ll probably give it to a friend of mine to try out. :) What I was most excited about in this box is the Avon Ultra Color Lipstick in Hibiscus and Avon Ultra Glazewear Lip Gloss in Fiery Red because I LOOOVED the lip products that I was able to try from my kit in the blogger challenge I recently participated int. I’m glad that the lipstick and gloss that was included in this box are a bit similar shade-wise so they can be used together. :)

The box also included 2 sample sized Ultra Color Rich Mega Lipstick in Charged Cherry and Ultra Moisture Rich Moisture Seduction lipstick in Red Kiss. The boxed contained four more sample sized products which where the Anew Genics Treatment Concentrate, Anew Genics Cream, and the Anew Genics Eye Cream. I wasn’t able to take a photo of these because my camera ran out of battery. </3

Final Thoughts

Wow. This is an excellent box considering the huge amount of products that it contained! For only 595 pesos, you get an astonishing amount of P2316 worth of products!!! What’s more exciting about this is that the products that come in this box are the same products from their LATEST collection. This box is perfect for Avon newbies who want to try out a wide range of Avon in one go and also for Avon lovers who want to try out products from Avon’s latest makeup line. This box has a great selection of beauty products. The products range from skincare to items that give you a full makeup look– his box has got you covered! I heard that they still have a couple of stocks left! Grab one while you still can. :)
