October 2012 Topbox.ca

by Teresa [themakeupnut] - October 15, 2012

Its mid-October and the first beauty box out is Topbox. J

If you are not familiar with what Topbox is ... Topbox is a Canadian Beauty Box subscription service that retails for $10/mth for 4 premium beauty samples each month. Note that at least one product each month is makeup related.

In my October Topbox;

Contents:

Endocare

Endocare Concentrated Serum 2 Ampoules

Full Size: 7x1ml/$59
Concentrated serum provides intensive rejuvenating treatments for skin.
EndocareTensage Radiance Contour deluxe sample
Full size: 15ml/$72.50
A regenerative formula designed to correct and brighten the eye contour area
I am not a fan of ampoules...or perfume tubes. I am clumsy and always end up getting oil everywhere. That is just me...so graceful. Those that received the Endocare sample did receive an instruction email from Topbox.ca on how to open the ampoules properly. I will need to reread that one!

MaskerAide

MaskerAide Hydrating Facial Sheet Mask one mask

Full size: 1 mask/$4.99
MaskerAide is a unique line of super hydrating facial sheet masks created for fabulous lifestyles.
I have seen these being blogged about recently and was intrigued. I can’t wait to slap this on LOL!

Stila

Stila In the Moment Shadows

Stila step by step guide

Stila In the Moment Eyeshadow palette Deluxe sample
Full size: 14g/$50
I think this sampling of shadows of a complete palette is kind of cool. We get to try the shadows to see if we like it enough to spend the $50 on the full sized palette. I think there are probably a few uses from each shadow. Plus the sample card came with step by step instructions for two looks.

Stila Lip Glaze - Raspberry

Stila Lip Glaze - Raspberry swatch

Stila Lip Glaze in Raspberry Deluxe sample

Full size: 24ml/$29
This is a lip glaze so it is sheer. I found it a bit sticky but it smelled awesome. Like raspberries. I don't think it was full sized. I couldn't see the size on it but it still is pretty decent sized sample.

I was kind of hoping to get the Stila Prime Pot as I absolutely love my MAC Painterly Paint Pot and I wanted to compare the two but oh well, I happy with the lip glaze too.

I liked this box. I love getting eyeshadow. So I am happy. Even if it is only for a couple uses at least I can create a couple looks with it and determine if I want the big palette or if I have similar colours. I wish more companies would do this with their pricey palettes.

There was some variation of the boxes; some received Aveda shampoo/conditioner samples, Stila Prime Pot, and new subscribers received the Vasanti BrightenUp. My box version was Box-11.

Topbox still has a waiting list so if you want to try it sign up now! J

Ohhh this is the first box I've seen with the lip gloss. I got the primer and I'm pretty happy with it so far. Mine was box 5. It's pretty cool that they have different eyeshadow colour samples too cause my palette has more nude shades.

Here's my review!

I like your box more than mine, I got the Aveda shampoo and the Stila prime pot, but the shampoo sample is only 10mL...I have long hair so I don't know how long that is going to last me!

The Stila lip glaze is nice, I have three of them and they're quite nice! I love sheet masks and had wanted to buy a Maskeraide one, but now I get to try it out first!

I haven't tried any of these but I've heard good things about the stila lip gloss. Though, I've also heard they're similar to the elf hypershine lip glosses which I found horrible. It's good you liked the box, another blogger friend who posted about hers wasn't really happy with it.
