Unboxing: Special Edition Eye of Horus Glamourbox

Finally, after the long wait, my special edition Eye of Horus Glamourbox has arrived. I've never owned any Eye of Horus product before but I've been thinking of getting their Goddess Mascara. I chanced upon a kiosk in Market Market, (forgot if it was Snoe or something else) and saw that they had testers; so without hesitation I tried it out. I like how it emphasized my eyes and lengthened my lashes. 
The moment Glamourbox announced their tie-up with Eye of Horus on their upcoming subscription box, my heart leapt! 

Without further ado, I present the Special Edition Eye of Horus Glamourbox goodies:

Item/Price:
1 Eye of Horus Teal Malachite Goddess Pencil Php990
2 Eye of Horus Goddess Mascara Php990
3 Eye of Horus Sharpener Php295
4 Eye of Horus Ankh Necklace Php580
5 Eye of Horus Facial Bamboo Mitt Php480


Here are my thoughts on this box:

The Good:
1. It's worth every penny. I paid Php695 for a box of Eye of Horus products with a total value of Php3,335. BOOYAH!!! 
2. The Teal Malachite Goddess Pencil and Goddess Mascara are perfect for the summer season. I'm very pleased that they included these products.

The (not so) Bad
1. The combination of products confused and disappointed me a bit. Because the theme revolves around the idea of having sultry eyes, I was expecting to get makeup or products that can be used to "prep my peepers" as mentioned in their ad.
2. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with my purchase. I just think they should have thrown in something else instead of the necklace and the mitt. I like the necklace, but it doesn't make my eyes sultry. I mean, come on...

Overall, I'm glad I subscribed to this special edition Glamourbox. Despite the theme issues  I have, I'm satisfied with the products that actually go with the theme. I would definitely recommend this to those who don't own any Eye of Horus products yet. It's a good way to get to know the product without spending so much.

As of today, February 23, 2015, 12:20 p.m., the special edition Eye of Horus Glamourbox is still available for subscription at Glamourbox.ph

L'Oreal Paris Mini Haul

I rarely go out these days since my sprained foot has been acting up more than ever, but a recent trip to the mall proved to be worthwhile.

Thanks to L'Oreal Paris' promotion, I got more than my money's worth.

Here is the list of L'Oreal products I bought:

- Mat Magique All-In-One Matte Transforming Powder in Rose Ivory

- Dermo-Expertise Gentle Lip and eye makeup remover for waterproof makeup

- Color Riche Le Vernis in 312 Flaming Berry

- Base Magique Transforming Smoothing Primer

The promo required a minimum purchase of Php 999.00 which should include the new L'Oreal Paris Mat Magique All-In-One Matte Transforming Powder. The sales associate mentioned that it's on for the whole month of February, but isn't sure if it's available nationwide. So, in case you want to take advantage of the same promo, it's best that you visit the nearest Watson's branch or malls which carry the brand.

I will be using these products on a daily basis so I can come up with reviews to share. Until then, stay beautiful!

Cheers <3
