Glossy Box - The Man Repeller - January 2013

I received my Glossy Box for the month of January 2013.  This month's box was a collaboration with a popular blogger, Leandra Medine from The Man Repeller.  The box had some nice items in it.

The items I received are as follows:

Estee Lauder -- Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying  Volume Mascara in Extreme Black
Fresh -- Umbrian Clay Mattifying Serum
Le Metier De Beaute -- Replenishing Daily Solution
Narciso Rodriguez -- for her
OPI -- "Can't Let Go" Liquid sand Nail Laquer
Sebastian Professional -- Potion 9
tarte -- Glamazon Pure Performance 12-hour lipstick in Fierce

I looked online at what some other people received in their box and there was a tarte blush I was really hoping for.  Out of the items I received I have tried 5 of them.  The lipstick has a nice feel and is a very pretty striking color, my only problem is the color is a little too "fierce" for me.  It takes a very confident woman to wear such a bright red color.  I think on me it looks like I am now a clown.  I will try it again in the summer, maybe if I have some color on my face it will look better.  I am just way too pale for that color.  The perfume, or eau de toilette spray from Narciso Rodriguez smells like an old lady.  It is not a pleasant sent at all.  I really like the Sebastian Potion 9, it styled my hair nicely and my hair doesn't feel "crunchy".  I'm a huge fan of polish, but the OPI on is rather odd.  It is matte with sparkle and texture that I feel will snag on clothing and in my hair.  I didn't wear the color long enough to check out this theory.  The color is pretty and has nice sparkle to it.  The last item in the box that I tried was the Fresh mattifying serum.  I put this around my nose, the most oily part of my face, and it did keep me from becoming really oily during the day.

Of the items I have yet to try I am the most intrigued by the replenishing daily solution from Le Metier De Beaute.  I think this is just a face cream, however the card that came with the box states the full size is 1.17oz and costs $225.  I am really just curious if the product is actually worth the cost, not that I would ever buy it.  

That is it for now, thanks for stopping by.  See you next time.
