TOPBOX MARCH 2014 PRIVE BOX

This is all what I have for March TopBox (2014) and I must mention that this isnt a shabby sample to get. This is supposed to be 60 day supply to clear up ACNE.
If you are interested in the ingredients or product description visit their website at http://www.24clearit.com/

The value of this box will be somewhere between $50-$80, such a vague price description is because this box comes with an order form to order more product and on their the price was listed at $50 but on Topbox wishlist it was listed as over $80.

I have posted a video first impression on here.

Please do check it out and leave a comment.

Watch this space for updates on my skin condition after using these products.

IPSY February Box 2014

The Look of Love Bag

 

 





The Goodies

 

1. Plump Pout Mini by POP Beauty in FUCHSIA FREESIA

 

DESCRIPTION: Non-sticky, non lip pouting formula which smelled weird and Ipsy is sending me a replacement for it YAY Ipsy 

 

SIZE: 4grams

 

PRICE: $16 for a full size (site doesn't mention the quantity for the full size product) but since ipsy is sending me a replacement for it i will count the $16 as the sample size price :))

 

 

2. skyn ICELAND Fresh Start Mask with Ice Age Mud

 

DESCRIPTION: This has to be my most favourite mask ( even better than glam glow). I used this mask twice because I don't use a lot of product so was able to save some for a second application as well.

 

SIZE: 0.28 oz per pack

PRICE: Full size contains 6 packs for $39 and we got one pack so worth $6.50

 



3. Zoya Nail Polish in DOT

 

DESCRIPTION: I was so apprehensive when i saw this colour because it looked so light, but it turned out great on my nails.

 

SIZE: 15 ml

PRICE: full size product for $10



 

 

 

4. Tini Beauty Eyetini Cordial Cream Shadow + Base In One in Violette (an ipsy exclusive!)

 

DESCRIPTION: This shade is not bad but turns silver on my eyelids after a few hours of wear.

 

SIZE: 0.14 oz

PRICE: We got a full size product and its worth $18

   

5. J.Cat Beauty Eyelashes + Eyelash Glue in number EL13

 

DESCRIPTION: I cant tell by touching these lashes if they are real human hair or faux lashes but they looked natural and long to be worn for a night out at a formal event. I usually only wear fake lashes when modelling but since i keep on getting these in my sample boxes/bags I have decided to omph up my look.

 

PRICE: $3.99 for full size

 

This made me sad because I would love to have this black eyelash glue in my stash but it was dried up, so I sent an email to Ipsy. They are sending me a replacement for it. YAY Ipsy

 

COST: $17.10 CAD

FINAL VALUE: $54.50

WOW Ipsy thank you I rate you for February 12/10 (+2 bonus points because IPSY customer service was really good in sending replacement products for the lipgloss and eyelash glue)

Wish List for March 2014



 

 

 

 

 

DIVERGENT SET

 

 

 

It looks gorgeous but the colour pay off is so bad, just to make the eyeshadows last I will have to go buy urban decay prime portion.

 

 

this set should get 10/10 for presentation and the colours swatch so well but on my oily eyelids and cheeks they dont last past one hour without primer, even though i had makeup forever foundation powder and a setting powder on my face.

 

the lip glosses look nude and shimmery on my lips :( no colour pay off

i dont know why i got sucked into buying this set.......

 

For the make up quality i will give them 2/10 but will try this again with foundation and primer and hope and pray this lasts because its gorgeous colours. WATCH THIS SPACE FOR UPDATES.

 

the set is worth $71 CAD (+plus taxes) is only available at Sephora, so wait for them to restock it if you really really love the movie/book series that much.
