TOPBOX September 2013 "Chatelaine" |
It came wrapped in this beautiful box (i think i will store my bangles to reuse this box)
1) Katy Perry KILLER QUEEN sample, its basically a very sweet scent which doesn't last very long but overall a very strong scent.
update: the smell just disappears on me :(
update: wasn't matifying enough. my make up didn't stay oil free as my bare minerals spf primer does so.
3) Estee Lauder extreme Lash Mascara..... honestly i am so tired of getting mascara samples ( got one in last box from topbox and ipsy and apparently this month as well ipsy as well as topbox have sent me a mascara) so i cant review how this product will work because i wont open it till i need it maybe in a few months ( read years)
update: wont open it till i am through with the old ones .
4) Kerastase Elixer Ultime: hair oil as a 3ml sample ( pretty darn tiny sample but i am not complaining because i have so many other serums to use up that this sample size works for me)
it is suppose to make hair radiant and smooth.
update: hair was soft till yesterday, feels greasy today and it never took the fly aways away LOL
5) Lise Watier Ombre Souffle Supreme- An anti ageing eye shadow, i love the texture on these and they are super shinny (love them more because the metallic shades are in fashion right now) I got the peach and green shade. the samples are extremely tiny but like i said i could care less about the size on these. these shades are like mousse and will dry out since the packaging cant be resealed once opened.
update: peach just turned silver on my skin after a while and vert also had a crazy amount of silver shine to it . it has staying power though. lasted me all day for over 10 hours.
Finally this came with a Chatelaine double issue (special edition) magazine which i think i will enjoy browsing through. comes with great recipes and a special offer which as a topbox subscriber allows me to buy 12 subscriptions for $15. Bonus offer is an extra FREE Topbox in October (while quantities last) and a rose gold tinted wrist watch.
update: read the magazine, its full of extremely sad stories and some good fashion advice. i don't cook so don't really care about cooking recipes. decided not to subscribe.
Over all this box was worth its cost. I don't hate the box borderline love it only because the samples are small and wont take up too much room . hopefully last me a month till the new box arrives.
Topbox delivers good name brands to my door step and i am loving them :))
My box was pretty different from yours! I got the eyeshadows last month, they are pretty but really only one-use because you can't reseal them. Apparently, Shoppers is giving them out for free.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm with you on the mascara, lol...

thanks :))
DeleteI got this same box, and I'm a little bit bummed... I'm never usually one to complain about sample boxes, because you expect to have variation. It just seems like a lot of stuff that I won't really use...
ReplyDeletei am using all of the products as well, just posted an update. thanks for reading my post.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a different box than mine :)
