October Luxe Box

I was so excited when I found out I won Productrater's October Luxe Box giveaway :) The packaging of this month's Luxe Box changed drastically. Although I like how sleek it looks now, I kind of miss the old packaging. The old box was so versatile. I used all of them as organizers in my drawers! I need to figure a way on how to reuse this one.

New black packaging

Included in the box:

1. Lise Watier Flash Lift Radiance Vials

2. Keratase Elixir Ultime (for hair)

3. China Glaxe Crackle in Cracked Medallian

4. Olay Professional Pro-X Eye Restoration Complex

5. Lise Watier Plumpissimo Le Gloss

I'm quite excited to try the China Glaze nail polish as this is my first China Glaze and my first Crackle polish of any kind!

Much Love.

June Luxe Box :)

Yay I got my June Luxe Box yesterday and I was so excited! I originally ordered the 3 months package, but I missed the deadline for my May one so I didn't receive a box last month :( So you know how much anticipation there is for this one! heehee

Click here for the April Luxe Box post that I blogged about! It has the details if you're interested. One thing that's changed from that blogpost is that there has been a slight price increase (from $10 to $12 per month). If you plan on getting it a full year round, you get a discount for a total of $120 annually.

This is what the June box looks like:

Laura Mercier e/s in Twilight Grey

On the description card, it says it's upgraded to be a full sized product. I think it's because I bought the 3 months package. I was surprised to find a Laura Mercier product in the box, let alone a full sized e/s! This is actually my 1st Laura Mercier product and I'm very excited to try it out :)

Dermalogica Shaving Cream & Daily Clean Scrub

These are included in correspondence to Father's Day (as stated in the note).

Joico Colour Therapy Restorative Styling Oil / Consonant Skincare Face Wash

First impression of the Joico oil is that it works similar as any other styling oil but the texture of this one is quite light weight which I like.

Me and my sister are always pleasantly surprised by the packaging. It's just so cute!!

Much Love.

My 1st Loose Button Luxe Box!!!

I came home to 2 packages for me!!! One of them is the Loose Button Luxe Box that I ordered not long ago. Many thanks to Jenny tweeting about it or else I would never know! The company has the similar deal as the birchbox. You basically pay $10 including shipping fee for a few beauty samples. These samples are not the usual one try only samples, but the decent sized ones. However, Birchbox doesn't ship to Canada and I was so sad when I found out :( Now you know how excited I am when I got my Loose Button Luxe Box package today! I went through a lot of emotions to get it. Story of my life LOL

Loose Button only ships to Canada right now (as opposed to Birchbox that only ships within USA). It contains 3 to 5 deluxe samples of beauty products (skincare, makeup, fragrance, body, and haircare). Currently, it's only invite only which means you have to sign up to be on the waiting list and be patient to wait for a reply. It took me about 1 day or 2 to get invited via email. Then you have about a day to decide if you want to order it or not. On the site, it lists out some upcoming brands. The ones that interest me are: Shu Uemura, Bobbi Brown, OPI, Anna Sui, Chanel, and the list goes on...




The Luxe Box includes...
- a cute box with pretty packaging
- the deluxe beauty samples
- a description sheet with some details about the products
- a piece of chocolate :)

I received 4 sample sized products this month:
1. Stila Lip Glaze "Brown Sugar" (Reg Price: $22*) 0.5 ml
It's very small... I've never tried anything Stila before, would be cool to try
2. Estee Lauder Sumptuous Bold Volume Mascara (Reg Price: $21*) 2.8 ml
It's around the same size as any other sample mascaras I've gotten in the past
3. Elizabeth Grant Biocollasis Gentel Cleanser (Reg Price: $30*) 60 ml
According to the description, it's one of the best beauty buys by InStyle - Interesting!
4. Elizabeth Grant Lubricating Body Treatment (Reg Price: $20*) 25 ml
I wouldn't mind trying any body moisturizer :P

Repurchase? Most likely. I really like the idea of being able to try different products without needing to spend a ton of money. Most of the time, I can't finish a full sized product anyway. A deluxe sample size lets us be able to try more and finish products quicker! And of course, I love receiving packages (this really shouldn't be a reason for me to spend money fml -_-)!!!

I mentioned that I received another package - will be posting about that next time ;P
