That's a hard list to choose from. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20"> It depends on what type of product you are looking for. For hair care I like Batiste Dry Shampoo, Rush Dry Finishing Spray and Philip B Detangling Mist. If you are looking for a mascara to try, I like the Benefit They're real mascara. Essie polishes are nice too. Not sure if I'm helping here since I'm giving too many options. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20">

I've only been subboxing about 6 months and I have more nail polish, mascara and hair care than I'll probably ever use.  The Kryolan highlighter, I think, was exclusive to Glossybox and was a good size/value.  The Vince Camuto perfume I got was a mini bottle that smelled nice and is cute on my vanity.  

That's awesome that they gave you so many options!

I only rec'd Glossybox for 2 months & also had some "issues" shall we say. Amongst other things in my first box an item (OCC lip tar, which I was most excited to be getting) was missing and the perfume had leaked all over but I digress.

Here are a some thoughts/ additional info re: a few of your options:

As mentioned already the Kryolan Highlighter it was a limited edition item made just for Glossybox this fall (October's box I think) so unlike some of the other items it's something that you know you won't ever get in another sub box, can't get at the store, etc.; outside of swapping this would likely be the only chance to get if. it's a cream highlighter in the shade "Cashmere" & is a champagne-ish tone In addition to use on the face it makes a great inner-corner highlight. Size-wise it's a smallish squared-off pot of sorts, similar actually to a gel/cream liner. I just pulled mine out & it's 4.5grams. A little bit goes a long way - I use mine at least a few days every week & I've barely put a dent in it. I particularly love it for travel/ on-the-go...both b/c of the compact size & b/c there's no chase of it breaking/ cracking as there is w/ pressed powders )& the packaging is very sturdy/ solid). B/c of the above-mentioned issues w/ my first box I actually rec'd a 2nd one of these (as they just sent me a whole new box) & while I cannot imagine how long it will take me to finish my first one I like it enough that I'm likely keeping the other as a back up.

While I can't be certain, I'm guessing that the "Glossybox Blush" listed is another Kryolan product that was a special shade made for Glossybox. If so the shade is "Glossy Rosewood" & I 'd describe it as a muted/ dusty rosey mauve shade? I'm sure you can find a picture & maybe even swatches if you search the name; I believe it was in November's box. I'm quite fair & on me it's a nice natural shade, almost a just-in-from-the-cold sort of flush, but I'm not great at visualizing what something will look like in different skin tones. It's a pressed powder & is 2.5grams. It has good staying power on me...not my longest-lasting blush but pretty good.

The VInce Camuto perfume is in a very cute/ nice bottle & is primarily a floral scent (aka the one that spilled in my first box
