This candle is one of my favorite items in the box. It's designed to help you sleep and has a blend of lavender, sweet basil, and jasmine. It's made with 100% natural fragrances. It has a pleasantly strong fragrance that really fills the room.

This hairspray gives you a nice hold without feeling like glue in your hair. It has a super fine spray and drys fast. It's a vegan formula that is free from microplastics, mineral oil, parabens, and silicones.

DAY 4: Makeup Eraser Original Pink (Full Size) $20.00
I love makeup erasers because they work so well, especially on waterproof makeup. This is not a regular washcloth; it's a special cloth with tiny fibers to remove makeup. This removes that hard-to-remove eye makeup without harming the delicate area around your eyes.
DAY 5: Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask (Deluxe Size) $22.00
This sleeping mask smells fabulous. This can be used as a wash-off mask or a sleeping mask. It applies easily and doesn't feel sticky. I have received this product before, and I love how it makes my skin look and feel.

All-in-one products can make your makeup routine so much easier. You can use this cream blush on your cheeks, lips, and eyes. I received the color bronze.
DAY 8: Figs & Rouge Wonder Love Clarity Skin Perfecting Serum Drops (Full Size) $58.00
This serum works to exfoliate and unclog pores while reducing dry, uneven, or bumpy skin. You apply several drops on the t-zone of your face. This works to create a smooth complexion.

The gloss is a great color, and it doesn't dry out my lips. It comes with a matching lip liner. Both are cruelty-free and made with safe ingredients.
DAY 10: Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Eau de Parfum (Full Size) $28.00
This is a trendy perfume that has top notes of cattleya orchid, freesia, and centifolia rose. This is a very floral and stronger scent that is nice for an evening out. I received a soap with this scent in a past Glossybox, and I loved the smell. I am glad this perfume was included.
Day 11: Afterspa Daily Facial Dry Brush (Full Size) $20.00
I started dry brushing a couple of years ago after seeing it on YouTube. This helps to exfoliate your skin and helps to drain your lymphatic nodes, and increase circulation.
Day 12: Bellapierre Mini Kabuki Brush (Full Size) $20.00
This small kabuki brush is a great size to apply setting powder. Due to the small size, it's easy to get to the undereye area, and t zone, without using it all over.

You can apply this spray before your makeup or during the day to freshen up. It's made with hyaluronic acid to keep your skin looking refreshed.

This contains salicylic acid, pink kaolin and bentonite clays to unglog pores and detox skin. This also works to reduce redness.
DAY 15: Fekkai Full Blown Volume Shampoo & Conditioner (Travel Size) $8.00 each

DAY 18: Illamasqua Beyond Liquid Highligher 2mL (Deluxe Sample) $4.13
This highlighter is super blinding and you only need a tiny bit for a blinding highlight. This product was not in the magazine. I reached out to Glossybox and they stated that there are some variations with boxes, but everyone will get the same number of full size products.
DAY 19: Deco Miami Nail Polish (Full Size) $8.00
This nail polish is in the color Tamale, which is orangeish-red. It's a pretty color for fall. I have my nails professionally done, but I will use this for a pedicure.

DAY 24: The Vintage Cosmetic Company Satin Pillowcase (Full Size) $9.99
