Topbox | May 2014

May’s Topbox actually “made me” go out and purchase one product almost the day after and in terms of percentage, makeup products were 50% of the box which is not bad. What I was most pleased about was the new release from Benefit that was included! I’m sure you all know what it is by now, but it was nice to receive it around the same time stores like Shoppers Drug Mart did. This month’s Topbox also did not come in a box, but in a purple organza bag. I personally don’t mind either way as long as the products inside are good!

January 2013 Empties

I will be so glad to get rid of these! Some of the things I’ve managed to finish in January have been haunting me for years!  

Bath and Body

Round Five of Sample Sundays!

It has gotten to the point where I actually look forward to choosing new products for Sample Sundays and the thought of rifling through my bottomless pit of samples brings me great joy. Again, I’ve chosen just a few samples for the next two weeks as I always forget how long it takes to use up facial products!

Here is what will be in the sample bucket for the next little while:

Body

1. Petal Organics Firming Body Cream (0.5oz)

2. Mereadesso Beautiful Body Balm (30mL)

3. Kandy Kane Natural Body Scrub (1 oz)

Face

4. AHAVA Hydration Cream Mask (20mL)

5. Original Purity Skin Care Raw Seeds Facial Gelee (0.25oz)

6. L’Occitane 25% Shea Butter Ultra Rich Face Cream (15mL)

7. L’Occitane 5% Shea Butter Fabulous Serum (7mL)

8. Delizioso Skincare Watermelon and CoQ10 Natural Face Polish (15mL)

9. Mereadesso Face and Neck Toning Gel (7mL)

I have been looking forward to trying the L’Occitane Shea Butter line. I’m getting so sick of my Korres samples…it’s time to switch things up!

Wanna See What Was In The Shopping Channel Holiday Surprise Box?

It feels like forever ago that I ordered this and I still have everything in this very box because of the build up of products that happened over the holidays. I keep blaming “the holidays” for my deep-seeded beauty acquisition issues, but if I’m still using that excuse in March, one of you please stage some sort of intervention!
