Another of my favorite mineral eye shadow subs is
Glamour Doll Eyes. Previously, the longest subscription you could make with them, I believe, was 3 months. That's what I started with and then December was a special month, so only a single month sub was made available that month. Early in January though, when the subs went up on the 8th (they always go up on the 8th, unless that's a
weekend, when they'd instead go up that Friday), I noticed a 12 month sub, which I snatched up immediately! Woot! Don't have to worry about logging on on the day subs open up for a whole year!
Anyway, GDE is an eye shadow of the month
subscription. I still can't remember what 1
month costs (the info is only up when there are open subscriptions
spots on the 8th of each month. I think it's $7.), but I got a 12 month
subscription for $72, which includes shipping. For that price, Glamour
Doll Eyes sends out a 5g pot of a limited edition color mineral
eyeshadow of the month and usually a little bonus item. Subscriptions DO NOT
automatically renew and usually sell out pretty fast on subscription
day.
So, again, I forgot to take a picture of everything in the bag, but it wasn't a see-through bag, so it wouldn't have shown much. It was a velvety blue bag. Cute!

The color of the month was Social Suicide. I thought it was a lovely rich, true blue with a good amount of sparkle.

The extra this month was a small sample of their new Hydraglaze lip gloss in the color Social Butterfly. It's a very pretty pink, but I couldn't really get the blue in it to show up in my swatch photo. In person, you can see it in the pot, but I'm not sure how well it will show up on lips. Maybe unless you get super super close to the person wearing it? I also kind of wish it were a slightly bigger sample. Not huge - I'm not asking for a 5g pot of it, but maybe just fill the clamshell? I feel like I'd use this up in like 2 applications. We also got 2 fun size Laffy Taffys for fun.

I liked this months colors. I don't wear a lot of blue, but this is a really nice blue. I think I'm less a fan of light blues. I have brown eyes, so light blue and teal don't look fantastic on me. The lip gloss is also really nice and it smells great!

If you'd like to sign up, subscriptions open up on the 8th of each month, unless that's a weekend, like this month, so I think for February, it will most likely open up on the 7th at
this page.
