GlossyBox is a subscription service to get beauty products straight to your door. Each box comes with 5-6 beauty products hand picked by beauty experts (read: not me).
A company rep sent me their April box to review. And since it’s easier to blab than blog about beauty products here are my thoughts:
The UPS guy and I are best buds at this point, but I still get excited every time he comes by. Who doesn’t love getting a present in the mail each month – it beats a stack of junk mail, right?

blog!

Blog:) thank you!

xo, Maria
Becky Blair says
Vlog for beauty! It really does feel more personal and I subscribe to a few on YouTube and I love them!
Jen Shaw says
I prefer blog.
Zoe says
I think both is a good combination. Although I like blogs more because I can read them and see the pictures.
jinkatya says
Definitely a blog. Blogs are more sneaky when I’m not doing work. 😉
Sarah says
vlog
Melanie says
I love blogs but vlogs are a fun way to see how the author sounds in person!
Margie Visnick says
Blog!
erin says
Blogs are great since I’m usually multi-tasking so I can easily revisit or reread as need be. It is also nice to read on the go in public. An occasional vlog is great to see and “get to know” the author behind the stories we all read for hours on end. 🙂
Vikki says
Blog!
Louise R. says
Blogs, definately!! Thanks for the contest!
Debbie says
Blogs! I can multitask better!

Johnna says
I like BLOG…because then I can read at work and no one knows I’m not working! Plus I can pause if I need to and come back and finish reading whereas a VLOG I feel like I need to listen to the whole thing at one time.
zoe kimberly says
VLog, as long as they are 60 seconds or less! Good to mix it up once in a while.
Stacey says
Blogs are easier.
samantha s says

Blogs, love them!
Myra says
I prefer blogs because I keep my phone on mute during the day at work. 🙂

I would typically say blog because I’m usually catching up while nursing a baby to sleep and listening to something isn’t optimal.. But I’m starting to come around to vlogs. I think blog still wins it for me, though.
Cindy says
Blog!
Helen says
Blog! I can read it at work or during my commute 🙂
Michelle says
Blog, so I can read at work:)

MaryBeth says
Blogs are much easier but I do enjoy a blog once in a while!
Suzanne says
I like a blog because I secretly catch up on blogs at work and it would be super obvious if I watched a lot of vlogs.
Though I can’t thank you enough for doing a vlog of the travel hair rollers–changed both my sister and my lives! (ok, that might be stretching it…but I think you understand.)
Ashlie D says
Blog. The voices I use while reading can be very entertaining.
melisa says
both 🙂 but blog is easier for me read at work.
Sami says
thanks for the giveaway, ya little redhead.
i like your vlogs. i enjoy hearing peoples’ voices. i feel like i know them a little better after i do. ha. buuuut, the convenience of reading anywhere makes the blog more appealing.
xo.
Heidi M says
I like blogs because they are easily accessible. Sometimes I have issues with the vlog loading…maybe operator error? Who knows?,
Janice says
I like both. It gives it a fun mix.
Tara says
Vlogs are cool so you can put a voice to a person and see facial expressions. BUT if I’m reading e-mails at work I prefer regular blogs because I can’t get away with playing a video. 🙂 Shame on me. ha
Denyne says
Like the blog… Not into the vlog..
Dot says
Blog=best.
Lindsay says
I like vlogs every now and then. It’s fun to really see the blogger’s personality.

Blog 🙂
Jennifer Lewis says
I love both for different things! Vlogs are easier for how-to’s and workout videos, but I love reading blogs with lots of pictures and when the accompanying text is funny (like yours) 🙂
Tayler says
Definitely a blog! I am usually trying to creepily read my blogs while doing other things I should be paying attention to, and I hate missing info because I can’t watch it because I am busy leading people to believe I’m doing work! But that is just my uber lazy self.
Lindsay says
I love vlogs, but sometimes blogging is easier and less obvious
Nicole says
Ditto comments that have said, “I can read a blog at work, but it’s harder with a vlog.” 😉

Donna says
Blog
Shanna says
Blog because I can read it anywhere w/o needing headphones!
Mel says
Blog for sure… I can catch up on blogs at work (as many of you have mentioned) – but I tend to miss alot of the vlogs as they are not as easy to “get away with viewing” on company time. (which I don’t use to catch up – of course, I *only* view blogs on lunch or break…cough cough)…
Rory says
Blog. I’m totally guilty of reading at work.
Ashley says
Another vote for blog because of the read at work reason!

Sarah G. says
I’m a blog girl!
Erin says
I like blogs more. Better for stealthy reading at work!

Megan says
I like blog because I read at work!
Korlynne says
blog for sure!
Allyssa says
I like blogs better. For multiple reasons: I can read it when it needs to be quiet, I’m a very visual learner so sometimes I space out when I’m just listening to something, and with blogs I can step away in the middle of the post if I need to and easily come back to it.
Kelly says
Blog
Shani says
I like that you do blogs and vlogs.
Katy says
Blog! I can read over the kid noise!
Bobbi says
I like blogs for normal stuff, but a vlog for unboxings!
Kristen Woellert says
I can read blogs while standing in line at the grocery store! Blogs all the way.
Anna M says
Blog! I read at work so try to be a little discreet… although I do love knowing what my favorite bloggers sound like IRL! 🙂
Lyndsey says
Blog, there are usually no opportunities for people to make me cringe by feeling uncomfortable with their speech, gestures or rambling. You know that part in Dirty Dancing where Baby says “I carried a watermelon.” That is the type of vlog thing that I call “cringe” worthy.
Melissa says
blog! I usually at work when I read – so it’s easier. Also, I can skim through and see what catches my eye!

Blog! (i’m at work when I read!)

Ally D says
Blog!- esp yours 😉
Becky says
Vlog for reviews!

I like blogs and vlogs but prefer the blogs 🙂
Helena says
Blog! Much easier to read at work 🙂
Carol says
vlog for sure!
Jessica says
Blog 🙂

Blogs for sure. However, I do love video posts from time to tome.
becky says
Blog! I look forward to reading everyday!
Tracy says
blog… you can read them discretely!
Deb says
I have a Kona Kase (endurance products) on its way. I hope it doesn’t show up today or tomorrow – I’ll miss the delivery – and I agree with you, it’s partially about the delivery! Anywho, I’ll let you know what was in my box and if I liked it.
I’m not good at picking beauty products – so winning would be awesome. Please sign me up!
Sometimes you just have to vlog – like this review. I love both your blog and vlogs.

Jessica says
Blog. I love reading 😀
Lea says
Enjoy both – depends on the type of b/vlog. Love your blog; quite humorous but also motivating.
Laura says
I like a blog better normally, but vlogs are great for beauty product reviews!!
Melanie says

Blog. I can’t watch a video at work without everyone else noticing.
Robin says
Blog!
ginger says
I prefer blog over vlog, but I’m just not that into videos so that’s me.

Blogs just because I can read them anywhere 🙂
Kristen says
I prefer blogs, because I can read them at work.

Brianne says
I think both are great 🙂
Gila says
Blog – easier to get away with reading at the office!
Jillian says
Blog!
Katie says
I like both! When listening to vlogs, my toddler can listen along too and it keeps her quiet so I can listen to the whole thing.

I dig the blog more than the vlog. Not that I don’t enjoy watching the vlogs, haha, I just like to read while I catch up on my DVR and can’t listen to two things at once!
Losing Lindy says
I like your vlog and your blog. I am not a vlogger, I think I look and sound weird.

Blog for sure – much easier to do on the QT.
Christi M says
Blog by far. I can read blogs anywhere but vlogs no so much.
Michele says
I’m a new reader of your blog and I love it! Usually, blogs but I can see why you did a vlog to talk about the products featured in the box. Vlogs are good every once in awhile so your readers can see your mannerisms and hear what your voice sounds like! 🙂
Priscilla P says
I prefer blogs!
kendra @ kennygump says
blog. but it’s fun to see people’s mannerisms on video. you don’t get that from reading. obviously.

Yay Beauty Products!
jenni says
Blog!

I would choose blog since I like to read these at work and reading is a little easier than watching a video.
Sarah@BoundingThroughLife says
I’m entertained by how many people choose blog because that’s what they can get away with at work.
I choose blog because it’s easier to be that obnoxious person who skims everything while reading than watching a video.
Now I feel like a bad person. Whoops.
Kait says
A blog!

I’ve never gotten into the vlog thing, so I choose blogs!
Mindy says
Blog, for sure. I hate to say it but I have never clicked play on a vlog.
Lauren S. says
Blog because I browse on my phone (or at work, shhh!) sometimes so I don’t need headphones or anything.
Runnergal says
Blogs definitely. Vlogs are good for demos, but as you see from the other comments, there are too many times when vlogs just aren’t practical. Thanks for your funny and insightful blog!
Nancy says
I prefer blog because it’s nice too be able to read through quickly if in a rush.

Victoria @ reluctantly skinny says
Vlogs* autocorrect

I’d rather read a blog- my kids interrupt too much during vlogs 🙂
Hannah says
Blog! I read blogs while my husband watches hockey!

gracekelle at leangirlsclub says
Blog! It’s easier to write than for me to edit a video…although I’m getting good at that too.

Stephanie says
I started getting the Birchbox last month and it’s pretty much the same thing. It costs $10 a month. I wasn’t over the moon happy about my first box. There is this eye awakening roll on thingy that I like. I got some lip glaze but it’s bright red and I don’t really roll like that. I need to try my other goodies. The good thing about these boxes is if I get something that I won’t use I can through it in with other stuff for friends birthdays or whatever. Your hair is beachy and cute 🙂
Laurel says
Blog, so I can read while I’m bored at dinner.
Cate says

Tracy says
I’m more apt to read than I am to watch a video, but I do like the opportunity to learn about each blogger’s personality through watching them on a screen. Particularly if there are babies involved!
Jen says
Blog! I have the attention span to read, but not to sit and watch a video. I’m backwards 🙂

Rachel says
I enjoy both but typically I prefer blogs!
Nicole G says
It depends on what you are talking about-for this a vlog was perfect! When you are talking weight loss or workouts I like a blog because I can just go back and read for quick reference rather than watch a video all the way through again. I am a redhead too and I say that that blush is a great color for you =)

Blog when I’m at work, indifferent when I’m at home 🙂

tara says
I like a blog – I can read it on my phone without anyone else seeing….or hearing!
Anna Catherine says
Blogs, vlogs are too loud for work. But you do give good info on vlogs. Love relationship days and half mary info days 🙂
Kim says
Blogs are easier to read in public places or when I don’t have ear phones handy (since I usually read blogs on the go) but vlogs are nice to put a real voice to a blog :). Love your accent!
Sarah says
I like a combo of both because if I’m at work I can’t watch vlogs 🙁
But… having the option to go back when I get home and check out the vlog is fun!
(ps. I’m a new reader and I love your blog!)
Sarah

Blogs for at work, but I love your fun sense of humor on your vlogs. 🙂 Either is great.

blog!

For most posts, I prefer blogs since it’s easier to multi-task (e.g., important stuff like watching TV while reading blogs). I think for product demos though, vlogs are pretty great.
Ashley says
I usually prefer a blog because I read when I’m at work and should be working and headphones can be kinda a giveaway 🙂
Rosa says
Blog!

I like a good old fashion blog! I like to read and give my own interpretation-Maybe give the writer a Spanish accent, or Italian..Mix it up! Me encanta tu blog!!!!
runeatrepeat says
Ha! What kind of accent do you give me?
Carmen says
A little southern girl with a twist of Spanish and a dash of gangster! Cause you are pretty bad a$$! Haha!!
Amanda says
I like a blog that mixes in a little vlog. 🙂 I think you strike a good balance; it’s always easier to relate to bloggers when they show their personality through vlogs.
jackie says
Blog!
Michelle says
Either or works for me!
Monica says
I can read a blog at work! (Not so much the vlog).
