If you haven't heard of them yet, Giltbox is a subscription service where you'll get 4-5 beauty samples delivered straight to your doorstep. The items are personalized based on a beauty profile you fill out so theoretically, you're gonna love everything you get from them. Subscription starts at P1,800 for 3-months, P3,300 for 6-months, and P6,000 for a one-year subscription. Check out their website for more info! In my case, I took advantage of Giltbox's limited Buy 1 Take 1 promo so I'll be showing you what I got inside two boxes!
My package arrived on my doorstep during the second week of December. Giltbox being late on deliveries is discouraging but I hope what I got is worth the wait! Let's see!
BOX ONE CONTENTS
 |
| Box 1 Contents |
I don't remember Giltbox having a special theme for November (e.g. Pretty Party for October 2017) so I guess this is a random assortment of products put together. Who knows? Anyway, let's take a look at each sample.
1) iWhite BB.Holic Everyday BB Cream, 3 sachets, 24.50 PHP each
 |
| DESCRIPTION: "iWhite Korea BB.Holic is a multi-tasking BB Cream that provides several makeup and skincare benefits. It is perfect for everyday use as it is infused with over 10 plant extracts to ensure that your skin is taken care of while looking refreshingly beautiful." |
I have already tried this product before I even got it from Giltbox. It's cheap and does what a good BB cream is supposed to do - to even out your skin tone in a natural-looking way. I don't mind getting this inside my box because I am certain I'll use it up. On my own, I probably won't repurchase.
2) Esme Stimu-Rub, 10 ml, 150 PHP
 |
| DESCRIPTION: "STIMU-RUB roll-on essential oil blend is designed to soothe pain from migraine, sinus, headache and relieving fatigue and promoting clarity and calm a natural way especially when traveling." |
Getting an essential oil blend for headaches is pretty random since this is a beauty box but I do love this! The oil blend is made up of coconut, peppermint, ginger, eucalyptus and spearmint. It smells minty good but not in an ointment-kinda way. I've used this to mitigate headaches but this is a multitasker! It can decongest clogged up nose while also relieving muscle aches.
3) Vitress Classic Cuticle Coat, 50 ml, 87 PHP
I've been getting Vitress samples almost every month even during Giltbox's Saladbox days. I think I have enough to last me a decade. Lol, just kidding. However, I do hope Giltbox will try harder in curating samples for their subscribers. Getting repeat samples is not fun.
4) Bath Junkies Bath Soap Samples, 2 pcs, approx. 30 PHP each
Next, I got two 20g samples of Bath Junkie Soaps in Tropical Punch and Green Revolution. I got Bath Junkie samples inside my October box too but it's great that Giltbox gave me variants that I haven't tried yet.
Tropical Punch is described as a natural soap that helps fight free radicals with fruit antioxidants while Green Revolution is made with moringa, green tea, and verbena leaf extracts to moisturize and nourish the skin. The 100g full-sized bath soap costs 150PHP each. Each sample should be around 30PHP.
5) Esfolio Green Tea Essence Mask Sheet, 54.95 PHP
 |
| DESCRIPTION: "Green Tea Essence Mask Sheet is perfectly made for patchy and dry skin! With its highly-concentrated essence mask, it helps in keeping your skin more hydrated and refreshed after a stressful day!" |
I'm a sheet mask hoarder and I want to try an Esfolio product so getting this is nice for me. Please wait for my review! 😀
6) Pond's Age Miracle Firm & Lift Day Cream, 2pc 3g samples, 30PHP
 |
| DESCRIPTION: "This anti-aging day cream is clinically proven to immediately reduce wrinkles by up to 20%. Provides strong protection from the sun while lifting your face and neck." |
I haven't tried this sample yet and it looks promising. It contains CLA4 and Retinol boosters to speed up the skin renewal process. The 50g full-sized jar is 500 PHP. The samples should be about 30 PHP each.
7) Sartorial Scents Perfume Card
Last but not the least inside my first November Giltbox is this perfume card from Sartorial Scents. The perfume sample smells great but there's not a lot of info to find online.
BOX ONE VERDICT
Not including the perfume card, the total value of this box is around 485 PHP. I guess that's not bad since I got to try a total of 7 products inside. Some of them are repeat samples but eyyyy, I'm trying to be more tolerant this year. Haha. Anyway, Esme's Stimu-Rub is the product that stood out for me.
Is this box worth it? What do you think?
BOX TWO CONTENTS
 |
| Box 2 Contents (forgot to include Calliel's Eyebrow Eyelash Serum) |
1) iWhite BB.Holic Everyday BB Cream, 3 sachets, 24.50 PHP each
 |
| I got another 3 pieces of iWhite's BB Cream. |
2) Vitress Classic Cuticle Coat, 50 ml, 87 PHP
 |
| Another bottle of Vitress Hair Cuticle Coat. :/ |
3) Bath Junkies Bath Soap Samples, 2 pcs, approx. 30 PHP each
 |
| Peace of Mind - new variant I haven't tried yet! |
4) Benefit Punch Pop in Pink Berry, 0.13 sample
 |
| DESCRIPTION: "It's a liquid lip color with a pop of juicy color, Vitamin E and shine!" |
Glad to have another "not-repeat" sample! Lmao.
Punch Pop is described as a liquid lip color with a pop of color, Vitamin E and shine. I'm not a lipgloss girl but I really like the formulation. It's hydrating, feels cushiony, applies evenly with a high-shine finish, and best of all, it is not as sticky as the lip gloss tubes of olden days. My hair still gets trapped to my lips when I use this though. Anyway, the 7ml full-sized tube costs 1,100 PHP. Based on price per ml, this sample should be around 20PHP.
5) Sugar x Salt Foot Scrub Soak, 2pc 15g sample, 25 PHP
 |
| Winner 😍 |
OMG, I love this! Sugar x Salt did great when creating this product. It just smells irresistibly goooood! It's a foot scrub x foot soak in one and it's effective in making my feet feel soft and fresh. I have also tried their Rosewater Beauty & The Mist and it's also good. Will be following the brand from now on.
6) Calliel Eyebrow Eyelash Serum, 150 PHP
 |
| DESCRIPTION: "Calliel Eyebrow and Eyelash and Serum is a combination of natural and cold-pressed premium oils that improves hair growth, prevents breakage of hair and strengthens hair." |
The last item inside my 2nd Giltbox is Calliel's Eyebrow and Eyelash Serum. It is a blend of essential oils to promote hair growth for kilay and pilikmata goals. This local brand even claims you'll see results in just one week of use! There's a mascara wand inside for easy application. I'm gonna be testing this soon, so please wait for my review!
BOX TWO VERDICT
My fave items in this box are Calliel's Serum and Sugar X Salt's Foot Soak. Based on my estimates, the value of this box should be around 440 PHP. Not bad!
WAS MY NOVEMBER GILTBOX WORTH IT?
Hell effin yeah! Value-wise, I got 925 PHP worth of products. Almost double the amount I paid for. Satisfaction-wise, there's a lot of new samples for me to try so I'm one happy camper.
