Glowelle Beauty Drink
Over the last few weeks, I’ve been trying out Glowelle Beauty Drink. Glowelle comes in Pomegranate Lychee or Raspberry Jasmine, of which I sampled the latter. A 30-day kit arrived at my door in pretty pink-and-orange packaging and I quickly scanned the included literature before emptying a drink packet, or “stick”, into a 16 oz water bottle. Glowelle recommends drinking one stick daily as part of your beauty routine to look and feel better from the inside out.
PROS for Glowelle include the nutrition (vitamins and antioxidants including Vitamin E and EGCG), and that each packet is only 50 calories. I also love the packaging. 7 or 30-day drink mix packs come in chic and colorful reusable boxes, and single packets can easily be tossed in your handbag for on-the-go and sharing with friends.
Reading reviews by other beauty bloggers, I seemed to be in the minority, as I love the taste of Glowelle – it’s bitter but addicting. I like the grainy texture, and especially love the mix stirred into a glass of orange juice. It seems to control appetite as well.
As much more acne-prone than wrinkle-prone, it’s hard for me to gauge elasticity (I’m also only 23!), but I have felt that my skin has been more glowing and noticeably less oily.
CONS for Glowelle begin and end with the price. $112 for 30 days is about the equivalent of buying a large smoothie every day. It’s kind of a lot to pay for a drink mix. The price can be explained by the prestigious ingredients, including 50mg of CoQ10 per serving, but I’d be willing to pay more if it included some caffeine. Along with drink mix, you can also purchase bottles of the stuff, but it will cost you $42 for just six 8 oz containers. Not very economical, but the formula is sold at upscale department stores and swagged out to celebrities.
Whether or not you try out Glowelle depends on your vitamin regimen and your income. If you are replacing several bottles of vitamins and beauty products with this drink, it might make sense to shell out the cash, but I can’t imagine it’s really more beneficial than a healthy diet. As pampered as this drink made me feel, $100/month for a supplement is sadly not in my budget.
