IAMBRIGITTE

And the inevitable has come...it's Sunday once again!  And in this part of the world, that means getting our (lazy) asses back to work.  So how did you spend your weekend?   Ako , I joined the Color Run here in Abu Dhabi last Friday with my former officemates (will be blogging about this soon!) and then yesterday, kain-tulog lang.   I really wish weekend comes in 5 days and weekdays in 2.   Ang saya siguro! ^_^ Anyway, I got this month's Glambox last week so I'd be sharing you my thoughts on it today.   Glambox March 2015 After taking a peek of what's inside the box, I pretty much got excited when I saw the Glamgals lipstick.  I absolutely loved the Glamgals lip color that was inside the box last month so it's nice to get another chance to try more of their products.  Too bad, they don't have a store here in AUH (if they do, please let me know) because I would love to know the brand more.   ...

Nope, I am not talking about that visitor which makes us girls go unreasonably crazy every month. (laughs) I am talking about Glambox! ^_^ So what's in this month's box?  Here they are: Bioderma Sensibio Makeup Remover - Shea Mirrage - Lolita Empicka Le Premier Parfum - Carita Serum Parfait - Carita Diamant De Beaute Nuit

…aaannnd I am back here in the sandpit after a 3-week vacation in the Philippines!  It was short, but I've enjoyed every single minute of it. We've gone to a number of places and I can't wait to share with you photos (plus reviews) soon! For today, let me share with you first this month's box from Glambox.  This box arrived way earlier than the usual and while I was still in PH, so sorry for sharing this with you just now. I've read that a lot of people weren't really that happy with last month's box.  But with this month's box, Glambox definitely made sure to make up for that disappointment.  Take a look what's waiting for you in this box: This box is a complete package: it has skincare, makeup and a beauty tool.

My 3-month Glambox subscription ended last January and with their Bliss-exclusive box last month, I wanted to kick myself for not continuing with my subscription!  I love receiving beauty boxes, it's like Christmas morning when you get this lovely pink box with a little, or no clue at all as to what's waiting for you inside.   For this March, I got a complimentary box from Glambox ( thanks, Glambox Middle East! ) and it was like Chrismas morning once again.  For this month, their box is yet another exclusive box and this time, it's from a brand that has been a household name for many years…NIVEA. For this exclusive Nivea box, they are featuring 4-full sized products that are essentials, most especially if you are a skincare-junkie like me:

Can you believe it?  We're almost done with the first month of 2014! Despite being not that busy, I was surprised that I didn't notice that days have been passing by so quick.  Now that I finally did notice, I am just getting a lot more excited…why, you ask?  Well, it's because I am going home in two months!      YES, I am going home but only for two weeks.  And if circumstances change, I might only get to stay for a few days.  My sister's graduating from college (can you also believe that!? 'twas just like yesterday when I posted her makeup look for her Senior Prom!) and I have to be there. So yes, I'm still not sure how long I'd be able to stay, but I'm 100% sure that I am coming home.  Anyways, another thing that made me notice that January's almost over is that, I already got my January box from Glambox.   Unlike beauty boxes back in PH which arrive first week of each month, Glambox boxes usually arrive on the 3rd week. ...

And finally, it's here... My December box which I got exactly on Christmas Day, yey!  ^_^ For this month, Glambox brings us this season's skincare must-haves from Eucerin and Nivea,  the newest scent from Lolita Lempicka Parfums and an item from a rising makeup brand, Inglot ! Eucerin Aquaporin Eye Cream (full size) - Eucerin Lip Aktiv Lip Balm (full size) - Nivea Smooth Sensation Body Lotion (sample size) - Lolita Lempika Elle L'aime Eau de Parfum (sample size) - Inglot lipstick (full size)

I know it's December already, but WTH, better late than never! ^_^ ------------------------------ Subscribing to beauty boxes is the "in" thing nowadays.  If you're the type who's into surprises...because it's like getting presents each month (depends on your subscription type) and wants to try out goodies without committing to full sizes, then it's for you. I've never subscribed to any of the beauty boxes back in the Philippines, but I got to try some of them .  Now that I'm here in Dubai, I also wanted to try out the products available here without my money going down the drain just in case they don't turn out okay on me.  So, I got myself my very first beauty box subscription with Glambox.  Glambox is just like most of the beauty boxes I know from back home.  You sign-up for a 3, 6 or 12-month subscription (sorry, no monthly!) for 239 AED, 449 AED or 849 AED respectively.  Basically,  the price of a box becomes cheaper ...
