I'm way overdue with this post.. Soo I jumped on the bandwagon and subscribed to GlossyBox. Since I temporarily cancelled my Birchbox subscription, I wanted to try something new. When I checked out the website, I saw that Bergdorf Goodman was being featured in one the monthly boxes. My fingers were crossed that it would be my first box....it so it was...ahhhhhhh!
So first and foremost here's what the box looked like when I received it.....I love the beautiful lavender color. Overall, the box and packaging has a very clean and classic look. For me, the smallest touches make for the best packaging. So let's get into it shall we.......
First I opened the Bergdorf Goodman $25 gift card. All of the subscription boxes for this month only included a $25 gift card for Bergdorf Goodman. Things are starting off great!!! Next I immediately focused on the Revive Insensite Voluminizing Eye Serum. The description of this product says...."This advanced formula helps visibly plump, rebuild volume and re-contour the delicate eye area. Significantly diminishes the look of dark circles and under-eye bags, making eyes look younger, brighter and illuminated." Wow, that was a mouthful.
I must say, I'm always a little skeptical of products that "claim" to do so many things. However, with high-end products, the expectation to do just that is there. And might I add for the full size (a 2.5 oz. container), this product retails for a whopping $350.00!!! Yes, all those zeros was not a typing error. I'm glad to have the opportunity to try a high-end product. However, I can say without doubt that I will not be purchasing the full-size (even if I won the lottery or some cash sweepstakes winnings).

The next product I noticed was the Napoleon Perdis Auto Pilot Pre-Foundation Skin Primer.
The claim is..."Scientifically formulated to allow your makeup to "automatically" glide over the skin. Auto Pilot helps to prime and soothe the complexion for that flawless finish and helps makeup last even longer. The box contained 7 individual packets of primer. The regular retail price is $45 for 1.7 oz. Again, something I would only considering purchasing full-size if amazing results were seen and received.
Also included was the Lancer Lift Serum Intense Stem Cell Recovery Complex.

One product I am very excited to try is the Hourglass Film Noir Full Spectrum Mascara.
This mascara claims to volumize, lenghten, separates and conditions lashes. Hourglass has been in the spotlight over the last year for their incredible luminizing blushes and face powders. I've been trying out alot of mascaras and interested to see how this stands out.
Nothing completes a monthly subscription box without hair care products.

Alterna Cavier CC Cream claims to deliver the following benefits (moisturize, shine, smoothness, softness, UV protection, manageability, strength, anti-breakage, heat protection, and light hold). That's alot to hold up to. I can say that if this product stands true to this claim, I will be interested in purchasing it (regular retail price $25/2.5 oz size).
We'll round out this box with the Atelier Rose Anonyme Cologne Absolue.

I'm not a fan of this fragrance however, others may like it. The description of this scent is "notes of spicy ginger, enwrapped in sultry veil of velvet oud, Indonesian patchouli, mystic papyrus and Somalian incense." The full size of this cologne is 3.4 oz for $140.00.
So far I'm really liking the Revive Eye Serum and NP Skin Primer. The verdict is still out on the other products. Overall I'm very impressed with my first glossy box. I skipped the current month to try a few other subscription boxes. I'm anxiously awaiting my July box.
