Luxe Box | Winter 2014
Hi again! This is a happy and sad post. Happy that I am finally getting to my Winter Luxe Box but sad that I canceled my subscription. I am opting out for now. Right now I need to cut back on some expenses and luxuries are the first to go on my list. Damn I hate being responsible!!

| Luxe Box | Winter 2014 |
This Luxe Box edition has a good mix of products - hair, cosmetics, skin care and tools, including two full sized products and 4 decent deluxe samples. Plus the Luxe Box packaging is always great. I reuse the boxes in my makeup table (perfect size) and to sort my polishes.

The skyn ICELAND's Hydro cool Firming Face Gel is a great idea if you have smile line issues. Which I do not...yet. But I think I will try these to help hydrate the skin around my mouth. This cold (that will not die) has left me with quite a dry flaky triangle patch of skin from my nose to the bottom of mouth. 'Tis truly lovely.
Too bad the Butter London sample is kind of small. I really do not like these samples for lipsticks. Anyhow, I didn't even get try this as it fell off my desk and my Pepper chewed the snot out of it. I was just grateful she didn't chew through the lipstick foil or that would have been a catastrophic mess!
I also received the amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo. I did receive this before in another sub service but I can't really remember what I thought about it then. I guess that is saying something now. I don't really use a lot of dry shampoo. My hair is on the sahara dry side so I can go 2-3 days of not washing no problem.
The eyelash curler is not one of my favorites. The curler portion is way too curved.
I did like the Nicole by OPI nail polish in Profoundly Purple. It is a nice dark vampy colour great for winter. This polish was super tiny. But a I will get a couple use so what the hey.

As I mentioned earlier I discontinue my Luxe Box for the time being. At $29.12 (that's $26+taxes) it is one of the more expensive ones but it is only quarterly.
I do plan on subbing again in the future - hopefully for the Summer edition. Right now I need to take a break from some of the beauty subs. See which ones I really miss and besides I gots way too many samples to get through right now. I think there is a few of us beauty junkies out there right now on Sample Overload. Am I right?

I'm feeling the same way about many of my beauty subs. I opted out of the Spring Luxe Box because while I have liked most of my previous boxes, I haven't liked them $26 worth. My contents of my Winter box are just sitting alone in a box in my room, and all I can think is how for $26 I would rather buy a new Tarte or Smashbox blush! Feel better soon! :)
