Topbox July 2013

by - July 16, 2013

Hmmm Topbox came in a navy blue mailer this month. It was still the smaller Topbox tube, just protected in a blue mailer. I opted to go for the regular Topbox again this month. I almost went for the Glamglow privè box but I am glad I went with the regular box again.

YAY China Glaze! This green teal jelly is from the 2013 Sunsational collection. I have similar teal polishes but none are jellies so I am excited to try it. I normally get my China Glaze polishes from nailpolishcanada.com for $6.95.

This is an 8 in 1 beauty balm. The sample we got was pretty tiny at 3g but I figure I can get a couple uses out of it. It is sealed so I left it like that until I am ready to use it.

24 gold flakes and pearl protein? While I am skeptical of any product containing gold and its purported benefits, I did think this sample was pretty. When I opened it, I saw that the gold pearls were suspended in a gel moisturizer. So I went to Belvada to see how we are supposed to use it. Using a spatula (not provided) you take two or three of gold pearls and the surrounding moisturizer and mix together in your hand to create a creamy serum and then rub in circular motions on you face and neck. The key ingredients are aloe vera and hyaluronic acid. I think I might have a spatula kicking around somewhere here so I will give a it a go once I find it.

I don’t think I have ever come across a thickening sprayable gel. I am going to use this tomorrow to see how it works. I am very intrigued to see how it works.


While I wasn’t terrible excited by this month’s Topbox, there were a couple interesting items to try. I am always happy to get a China Glaze polish!

If you are interested, you can sign up for a Topbox for $12 plus taxes at Topbox.ca.  I am not sure if there is still a waiting list or not.

  1. I love that China Glaze colour! I think you'll have fun with it. I would be skeptical of the gold too since your skin can't really absorb it...
