What is in each box:

Value: $33.oo (CAD)/$25.00 (USD)
Verdict: Just by looking at this product..it doesn't seem like something I wouldn't personally buy. I'm not really into the gold glaze on the top, but I'm sure others would love this for the holidays!




Value: $12.00 (CAD)/$10.00 (USD)

Verdict: I love candles! This packaging looks all cute and pretty! The scent will vary in each boxes. (Available scents: Grapefruit Oceander, WinterMint, Pineapple Cilantro). What is amazing is how they include a little box of matches.

Value: $??

Verdict: I couldn't find a bigger picture online, but you can see from the first picture on what you would be expecting in you box. It's a lovely gift idea and I love the design and colour.

Value: ??

Verdict: This is a sample size product. I'm getting this in my GlossyBox Limited Edition, so I can post a product review about this.

Value: ??

Verdict: Can't go wrong with a folding mirror that you can pop in your purse right? Love the silver colour and design. Would go great in your clutch/purse/handbag!

Value: $10

Verdict: Winter coldness and dryness is just round the corner, can't go wrong with some hand cream! Personally I love hand creams and have tried this before, the smell of this is lovely but the texture wasn't all that great for me!

Value: $10.00

Verdict: Hm..I'm on edge about this one. Whilst it looks pretty, I  doubt I'd actually use it. I probably wouldn't buy it off the shelf either.

Overall verdict: I don't think I'm in love with 50% of this box to actually want to go an purchase it now. The only thing that really caught my eye was the candle and frame. Everything else was average. So for me, I think I'll skip this one out and wait for the next Limited Edition box!
