June 2012 Topbox
I had to
pick up my Topbox this month and I finally got around to the post office on
Friday. I misplaced my card so I had to
do some frantic searching Thursday night for it HAHA.
If you are
not familiar with what Topbox is ... Topbox is a Canadian Beauty Box
subscription service that retails for $10.month for 4 premium beauty samples
each month.
June 2012 Topbox |
I am quite
pleased with this month’s box. I received quite a few cosmetic items! First I have
to say that Topbox sent me a new bronzing brush as my brush from the May box
was broken. My friend said he would fix
the broken brush for me but that still hasn’t happened yet L but I have a new one
and I am a happy camper now.
Inside:
Mark Gloss
Gorgeous Stay on Lip Stain in Bella Full Size
Full sized 15g/$12I haven’t tried this yet. It is a click pen type applicator so you don’t have to worry about hauling out a lip brush for applications and it looks very pigmented. The colour I got is right up my alley. It’s a berry mauve. Tres happy that it is full size. I only have one other mark product and that is the bronzer, which I like.
Pari Precious Glow Shadow Intensifier and Primer Deluxe sample
This reminds me of Urban Decay’s Primer Potion in Sin. It has a champagne hue to it. It can be used as a highlighter as well. I can’t wait to test it out.
stila all day 10 in 1 HD Beauty Balm. Deluxe sample
The card I have had the M.Asam 24hr Antioxidant Cream crossed out and a hand written note to accept this instead.
I like M.Asam but I like stila too J so I was okay with the switch. As this item did not have any further information with I did a little googling to find out more;
From stila.com:
Age is nothing but a number with
Stila's Stay All Day 10-in-1 HD Beauty Balm, a luxurious, priming beauty balm
that seemingly turns back the hands of time by visibly improving the look and
feel of skin and creating an impeccable canvas for flawless makeup application.

Unfortunately it doesn’t have any SPF and only comes in one shade L I tried it on the back of my hand and found it be very sheer. It dries down to a nice powder like finish and it smells like blueberries! I do think the stila 10 in1 HD BB does truly blur out fine lines and makes the skin look so much smoother but without SPF I don’t think it will make BUY IT list. Full size is 45ml and retails for $49 CDN Yikes! The sample I received has about 3-4 uses in it...
Stila
Forever Your Curl mascara – black deluxe sample
Full size $29This is a lash curl memory mascara. It is also has firm forming polymers to help lengthen lashes. I love trying new mascaras. I still have some ‘in the cue’ for testing out. I Ymy L’Oreal Voluminous mascaras but I am always searching for the ‘One’ that will lengthen, hold a curl and create volume! Since it summer, my only inkling of sadness is that this is not waterproof. But none the less I will give this a go! Curl me up stila!
Bonus items this month;
Simple eye makeup
remover Deluxe

I got this
in last month’s Glossybox and I love it so I am happy to get another one. It
will get used!Garnier BB Cream sample (3)
I really have nothing bad to say about this month's Topbox. I got my brush, got some cosmetics, got some more Simple YAY, YAY and YAY!
I definitely
recommend signing up for this beauty box. The waiting list is quite long so if
you want in you better sign up now! J
