Topbox | June 2014

I think there was a Prive box last month, but it went to my spam and I never saw it which was a little sad. I didn’t get a bad Topbox, but I was only really interested in 50% of what I received which was unfortunate. Topbox can be really hit/miss and when I look back at some of the boxes I have received there is really quite a mix. I feel like out of the beauty subs I have, it is the most “bipolar”. I am actually hesitant to give this box up because I know there is a waitlist for it and because the actual brand names included are usually quite good. Umm, hello Benefit?!

Teeez | Chain of Stones Nail Lacquer in Jealously Jade

Apply two coats for an even finish. This nail lacquer will take your nails to high-gloss heaven.

Thoughts: Nail polish always wins! This is a great colour and I am loving the Teeez packaging!

Full size: 8.5mL/$15.00

I received: *FULL SIZE*

KMS California | HAIRSTAY Style Boost

Shake well. Hold upside down and dispense into palm. Allow to crackle and expand. Apply to towel-dried hair prior to other styling products. Style as usual.

Thoughts: This sounds like a “different” kind of hairspray as it has all sorts of different types of ingredients that I have never seen before like black pepper seed extract!

Full size: 190g/$22.00

I received: 71g/$8.22

KMS California | Lip Fable in Ginger Bread

Don’t forget to keep your lips nice and hydrated with our 9.9% natural lip balm. However you choose to tell your summer-time tale, say it with your super soft lips.

Thoughts: I used to love tins, but I much prefer balms now especially because I have longer nails. Gingerbread isn’t my favourite scent either so as cute as this packaging is, I will be donating it to someone else.

Full size: 4g/$7.50

I received: *FULL SIZE*

Bioderma | Atoderm Gentle Shower Gel

Thoughts: The only product I have ever used from Bioderma is my beloved Sensibio, so trying a shower gel is very welcome! Although, shower gels tend to feel all the same to me no matter how many bells and whistles there are.

Full size: 500mL/$14.95

I received: 100mL/$2.99

Total value of June Topbox: $33.71

Not a bad value with my favourite products being the nail polish and a new product to try from Bioderma. My July box is a little more interesting so stay tuned for that this week!
