Karen’s Beauty Post # 3: I am Snoe-d! (The January 2014 Glamourbox Snoe Special Edition Box)

Because I was happy of what I got from Glamourbox Beauty SOS and Secret Santa boxes, I did not hesitate subscribing for my third box—The Snoe Special Edition box.

I checked Glamourbox’s website to check Snoe’s products.  At first I thought it’s an all make-up brand, but I learned that they have a wide selection of everything girls (and ladies) would love to have aside from makeup—be it lotions, hair care products, bath essentials, and makeup tools.

I was at the field (work) when my neighbor informed me that I’ve got a package from Glamourbox.  I became excited to go home and check what I will get.


(Warning:  Pictures Overload!)

Sent through Xend


My first time to receive a receipt for my subscription :)

Boxed up

Here it is!

The Box - Sturdy and elegant as always
Glamourbox greeted me through this:




And the product list:





Upon seeing the list, I thought, “ay, wala masyadong makeup : (“.  But still I’m curious of what’s inside the box.  Here they are:

Front -  Hair Heroes Agent Zero Cleansing Cream

Back -  Hair Heroes Agent Zero Cleansing Cream
Hair Heroes Agent Zero Cleansing Cream – Got sensitivities? Let Agent Zero save the day! Made with zero fragrance, sulfates and silicones, this vegan hair and body cleanser won’t irritate even the most delicate babies, kids and adults.  Full size 250mL/Php 599

What I’ve got:  Full size

Hmmm.. Top to toe wash.  For its size, I think this is a bit pricey.  It comes in zero fragrance, gel form.  And silicone as an ingredient?  Well, I think I have to research more on beauty and bath products as I blog about them.  As of now this is all new to me.

Snoe White Beauty Bar - Organic Papaya (Orange) and Lightening Licorice (Violet)


Snoe White Beaty Bar in Organic Papaya – Be the fairest of them all! Delight in the fresh, fruity smell of carefully hand-selected fresh papaya fruits in its organic beauty bar.  It gently exfoliates skin to erase all signs of dark spots and blemishes.  Full size 150g/Php 139

What I’ve got:  Full size

Honestly, I’m not a fan of beauty bars (except Dove).  I tried to smell it but I can’t smell anything, maybe because it is still wrapped in plastic. 

Snoe White Beauty Bar in Lightening Licorice – Make your sensitive skin stand out! This special beauty bar with licorice safely brightens and nourishes skin for a younger, silkier complexion with a pinkish glow.  Full size 150g/Php 139

What I’ve got:  Full size

Another beauty bar.  Comments same with Organic Papaya :D

Body Ritual Recipes Whipped Body Frosting Lotion - Nectarine Ginger Tea
Body Ritual Recipes Whipped Body Frosting Lotion (Nectarine Ginger Tea) – If your skin’s feeling dehydrated, whip out this indulgent lotion for an instant moisture fix.  Infused with skin-protective Vitamin E, papaya extracts and SPF15, you’ll see, smell and feel addicted to your radiant skin!  Full size 150g/Php 249

What I’ve got:  Full size* (still for confirmation)

Now this I like!  I’m a lotion addict.  And I love the smell too.

Fizzy Clean Foaming Hand Sanitizer - Pleasant Peach


Fizzy Clean Foaming Hand Sanitizer (Pleasant Peach) – Hands feel clean, soft and silky smooth with this quirky alternative to traditional hand sanitizers.  Soft bursts of foam wash away dirt and germs while leaving skin hydrated.  Feel the fizz! Full size 50mL/Php 179

What I’ve got:  Full size

This is the second foaming hand sanitizer that I had (first one is from Bath and Body Works).  It smells fresh and has no sticky feel.  I’ll replace my alcohol spray with this one :p

Bedside Besobalm Deep Moisturizing Lip Treatment - Pink Pout Pucker


Bedside Besobalm Deep Moisturizing Lip Treatment in Pink Pout Pucker – Keep this on your bedside so you won’t forget to treat your puckers while you sleep.  A word of warning though – It creates luscious pink lips that may attract the opposite gender!  Full size 4g/Php 249

What I’ve got:  Full size

Hmmmm… The Famous Besobalm.  I’ve been reading reviews on this one, most of which are negative.  So when I saw this in the box, I wanted to try using it right away to see for myself.  Few swipes on my lips and I felt the menthol sensation which made me uncomfortable.  I don’t know… I’ll try using this later before I sleep and will let you guys know :D

Poudre Extraordinaire Face Powder - Vanilla Creme Light (sorry for the scotch tape, can't remove it as it will destroy the label)


Tested on my hand (sorry for the red spot)
Poudre Extraordinaire Face Powder (Vanilla Crème Light) – Armed with acai berry, the most nutritious fruit in the world, this mineral powder is more than just makeup.  It protects skin from free radicals, tightens and smoothens fine lines yet totally blends naturally into the skin.  Full size 35g/Php 799

What I’ve got:  Sample size (10g) Php 228.29

The powder is super fine and scented.  Feels good on the face. 

Total value: Around Php 1700+.  Not bad for a Php 595 subscription.

The Verdict:  Good value for my subscription.  If you are the type who loves bath and skin care products, this box is for you. Let’s see if the products will meet my expectations as I use them.  I’ll keep you guys posted!
