February 2014 Topbox

Another month, another Topbox.This month I had signed up for a prive box, as opposed to the regular Topbox for the first time. I was a little bit disappointed when it was a regular box. After a couple of lackluster months, I was really hoping that they would bring their a-game this month, and they sure did. The four products I got this month are phenomenal!

Estee Lauder Double Ended Sumptuous Bold Volume Lifting Mascara and Pure Color Gloss in Rock Candy

Twist and apply gloss on lips and mascara on eyes. Best of both worlds in one product.

Full size: Gloss $26 for 6mL

Mascara $26 for 6mL

Sample Size: Gloss $19.50 (4.5mL)

Mascara $12.13 (2.8mL)

Two products in one! I love the colour of this gloss! It’s really pink in the bottle, but is much more of a your-lips-but-better colour. It’s great. I’m probably going to wear it for shine over a lipstick. I haven’t tried out the mascara because I have like three other ones on the go. I’ve heard good things, so I think it will be okay.

So Susan Water-based Pure Luminizer

Dab with your ring finger and blend out with a brush to create an ethereal luminescence and a diffused, soft-glow effect.

Very subtle gold glow

Full size: $46 for 15g

Sample Size: $46 (Full Size)

I have a great number of luminizers, and the collection only keeps growing. This one is really nice and glowy. It seems really natural and provides a really subtle glow. I’m excited to experiment with it some more.

Benefit Cosmetics Total Moisture Facial Cream

Say good-bye to dry skin and hello to “total moisture”. This facial cream provides concentrated immediate & long-term hydration for a radiantly refreshed complexion.

Full size: $46 for 48.2g

Sample Size: $9.33 (8.9g)

I’ve been using this moisturizer off and on for months. It’s really useful and it feels great on the skin. I’ll be using this one as soon as the current container I have is empty.

Epic Blend Lip Balm in Green Apple

Twist cap and enjoy!

Full size: $3.49 for 4.2g

Sample size: $3.49 (Full Size)

This is the lowest value product in the box, but I’m really happy with it too. You can’t ever have too many lip balms kicking around in your purse and this one will soon join the collection. It’s really moisturizing, and it has a really great smell. It doesn't have any taste at all, so there's nothing to complain about there! I have seen Epic Blend lip balms all over blogs lately and was waiting to try one. I’m excited to give this one a go.

Total Value: $70.95

Wow. Good job Topbox. This one is really great overall. The only issue that I had is that a few of the samples I got are things that I know other people have been getting for the past several months. It makes me feel like they’re really just trying to get rid of leftovers and that’s kind of a letdown. They are really nice products though, and there isn’t anything in this box that I don’t like.

What did you get in your subscription box this month? If you’re an American reader, what is your favourite subscription box? I’m moving in a couple of months, so I need to decide if I want to try a new service there.
