August 2012 Topbox

Like a naughty little Topboxer, I have been peeking at everyone else’s Topboxes and knew what was coming so I was quite excited about receiving mine! We also received a little bonus in our Topboxes this month which is always a nice little surprise. I actually don’t know how they managed to get everything in there so nicely because once I took everything out, I could not for the life of me get everything back in!

Dot Marc Jacobs

Introducing DOT MARC JACOBS, a lush floral bouquet of beautiful jasmine and juicy red berries. DOT MARC JACOBS captures a charming, upbeat spirit with timeless sophistication.

Thoughts: I was most excited about this ultra cute perfume sample! I am a big perfume person (I think I actively use about 10 different ones at any given time!) so this was what I was waiting to get my hands on and smell! I’m usually a citrus-lover, but this has just the right balance of sweet and floral notes and I look forward to wearing this scent in the coming months.

Full size: 50mL/$79 or 100mL/$105

I received: 4mL/$4.20 (used the lower value)

Expression Blush Brush

Thoughts: I love brushes and I have been wanting another blush brush so I am very happy that I got one!

Full size: $22

I received: *FULL SIZE*

Pink Wipes

A biodegradable, paraben free and hypoallergenic pH balanced feminine wipe that is perfect for your summer travels.

Thoughts: I have to say that I did not expect this to be in a beauty box, but I’m glad it is! These wipes are little expensive though so I don’t think they would be something I would buy all the time…I haven’t tried it out yet so I can’t really say how it works, but I’m sure it’ll make any girls’ nethers feel fresher!

Full size: 15 wipes/$12

I received: 1 wipe/$0.80

L’Eau de Chloe

Chloe signature scent opens a new chapter in its story. This perfumed body lotion is as delicate as a breath of air.

Thoughts: Love the cute little bottle, but the scent is quite a bit stronger than I am used to. I don’t think I will be purchasing the full size anytime soon!

Full size: 200mL/$60

I received: 30mL/$9

Kellett Skincare Polishing Gel Cleanser

Gentle exfoliants and purifying cleansers dissolve impurities, help regulate sebum production and soothe inflammation.

Thoughts: I feel like based on the description this is more for oily skin, but I do love a good exfoliant!

Full size: 130mL/$45

I received: 10mL/$3.46

Nexxus Therappe Luxurious Hydrating Shampoo and Humectress Ultimate Hydrating Conditioner

Thoughts: I have used Nexxus products in the past in a sample pack format and really enjoyed how it made my hair feel so I’m very pleased to be able to try this shampoo and conditioner in some VERY good sample sizes! I wasn’t able to easily find a proper price for these (if anyone knows I will gladly update) and I guess since these were a bonus in this month’s Topbox, I won’t include them in the final value (even though we all know it made this month’s box a little bit sweeter )

Total Value of Topbox: $39.46

This month’s Topbox is a far cry from this month’s Glymm bag and the Expressions brush alone more than paid for it. Topbox continues to come out on top and I don’t know how they’re doing it, but whatever it is, they know how to run the business of beauty boxes!
