It’s Time for Sample Sundays Again!

Ah, what better way to start off 2013 than with choosing some samples to start the sample snowball going! I’m not going to go quite as crazy as before as I’m actually working on some massive full sized products that I have had for awhile (years!) and would prefer to see those emptied!

December 2012 Topbox

I really should just come out and say it. I was really not a happy camper when it came to my December Topbox…the quality of the Topboxes has gone down since the waitlist was massively shortened back in October. Those of us who have been subbed for awhile or who have been following what Topbox has given in their boxes in the past will notice this as well. With the $2 increase per month, these smaller sample sizes are not what I have come to expect from Topbox…maybe it is I that needs to adjust my expectations?

Balenciaga Paris Eau de Parfum

A demure violet with airy blossom and delicate peppery notes.

Thoughts: This definitely smells better to me than the last Balenciaga fragrance I received in another Topbox. It’s still not quite my scent, but I will still give it a try and see how it wears on me throughout the day.

Full size: 50mL/$110 or 75mL/$150

I received: 4mL/$8.00 (using second value)
