As always GlamEgo unveiled this
month’s products at 12am on October 1st. Was I excited about the
box? Not really. I think my excitement is slowly ebbing away. (Probably because
I have other exciting things happening in life.) This month’s box has the same
theme as the one my mom has for the home. With Diwali approaching, house
cleaning and getting rid of things is the theme and GlamEgo box echoes the
same. This month the theme is “Deep Clean”. This is a nice concept. We all love
our make-up but we also like boasting of healthy skin. Hence, the contents of
this month’s box will help with just that.
The box has blue feathers against a
black background and looks very pretty. Until last month I had personally liked
the Baby animals box from the Mother’s day theme but this box is definitely
Pretty!
The products for this month:
Votre Face & Neck Scrub:
This “Spa Exfoliant” boasts about
reducing wrinkles, scars, evens skin texture and colour. Now GlamEgo’s USP has
been the whole concept of bringing to their subscribers products that are
Sulphate and Paraben free. Yet, this product has both of them. (After a quick
check of other Votre products we have received in the past, none of them
mention parabens and sulphates.) I am now not sure how to feel about this.
Detox Face Mask – Activated
Charcoal & Gentle Face Mask – Four Clay by Neemli:
Last year we
had received the activated charcoal mask in our box and back then I remember we got a
generous pack of 75gms which was a full size product unlike the one received
this month. The card says it’s a T Zone mask but you can use it all over your
face. Having used this product previously I can vouch for how fresh it makes
one feel post usage. It is actually a summer essential because that’s when your
skin is at its oiliest.
The Four clay mask is yet another sample size
product and the card says it is for the cheeks. This mask is a clay mask and
helps detoxify and clarifies skin while keeping it hydrated. Since
multi-masking is the latest trend I guess GlamEgo decided to send both masks as
a way to help people with combination skin. I haven’t used this product before.
I do plan to use it in the near future after I finish using my older sheet - masks and masks!!!
Elenblu - Crayon Gel Eyeliner (We get to
pick either Regal Blue or Emerald Green .)
This is my second Elenblu product. I
had liked the Mascara we received in our July box. As it happens, I had
started using eyeliners by the time I was 16. My friend had taught me how to
use it and I have had an eyeliner with me at all times since then. Of course
with so many brands coming up with products and so many colours to choose from
one tends to hoard. Hence, when I saw an eyeliner I wasn’t too excited
especially since we had only two colour options to choose from. Since I already
had two green liners and only one blue liner I obviously chose the Regal Blue
liner.
I tend to draw wings that make my
eyes look feline. Therefore the outer edge of my eyelids have a thick line that
becomes pointed towards the end. Let me tell you, it is a task to achieve that with
this crayon as the line is thick and you can’t really get the same precision as
you do with liquid liners or liners that have thinner cores. It also took me at
least 3 swipes to get the colour to look as dark as it does in the picture. The
crayon consistency is powdery and it smudges. You could probably use it as an eye shadow instead. I
would certainly not recommend using this on your waterline. Furthermore, the crayon is not retractable and needs sharpening. Going by how powdery it is I doubt it will survive a sharpener. I am actually very
disappointed with this product because there are far better products out there
at prices much lower than this.
Seer Secrets - Lip Scrub :
When I saw this product I just
laughed at what Lulu and I had spoken about just a day before the box contents
were revealed. We were sure that we would get yet another product which we had
received in a previous box. Further more Lulu and I both got our boxes today
and what do you know!

| The product had hardened and was like a block! I of course pursed my lips and sent Lulu a picture of this. |

| Then, Lulu sent me a pic of her scrub and we laughed it off! |
Since we got this product in May I
have already used it and like it as a quick remedy for chapped lips. If you
have a lot of Matte Lipsticks or Gloss in your collection you can use this
scrub to prep your lips for smooth application and as it happens smoothening
your lips helps glide the lipstick easily preventing it from accentuating lines
on chapped lips.
What are your thoughts on the box
this time? Did the label on Votre surprise you too? Did you want something
specific in the box? I actually predicted getting a repeat product, a mask and
the newly launched Foundation by Bella Voste.
