October Top Box!

I hope everyone had a really fun, safe, and spooky Halloween! I was insanely busy last week; mostly getting ready for Halloween and a Halloween party that my hubby and I were invited to, so this post had to be postponed until now ha ha! I think overall I like Top Box, and I've decided to keep my subscription for the time being. The items I received for October were pretty good, they were all a decent size, and I felt I got a good variety of items. I only tried one of my four items, but I am excited to eventually try out everything! I think I may start doing a Top Box Favourites kind of post the way I have done with my Ipsy Glam Bags.

October's Items were:

  • Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micelle Solution
  • The Balm Cosmetics How 'Bout Them Apples? Lip and Cheek Cream
  • Curly Hair Solutions Curl Keeper
  • Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Serum Synchronized Complex II
"At the cutting edge of innovation, BIODERMA has pioneered micellar solutions. Specially formulated for sensitive, normal to dry skins, the Sensibio H2O micelle solution gently cleanses face and eyes. It removes water-resistant make-up." 250 mL, $21.95 available at Shoppers Drug Mart and other drug stores. For me personally, I liked this product, but I felt like it doesn't do the job that my Neutrogena wipes do. I think it would be good for days I don't wear much make-up, or even when I run out of make-up wipes. It's not a terrible product by any means, but I'll stick to my $9 pack of wipes haha..
"A multi-functioning lip and cheek cream palette. Each freshly picked color is formulated to have a smooth finish that won't streak or fade, so there are no bad apples in this bunch!" 20g, $32 Available at thebalm.com. I have to admit that I would probably only use this on my lips, because I'm quite intimidated by not only red blush, but also cream products. I may get adventurous and try it out, who knows?
The Balm How 'Bout Them Apples, lip and cheek cream in Pie.
"A water based formula that controls all frizz due to humidity. This enables you to become the master of any curly hairstyle for several days. It is effective in all weather conditions, and is great for scrunch drying, styling with brushes, defuse-drying, or just drying naturally." These products are available from frizzoff.com and range in price from $10-46 So. I do have frizzy hair, especially when it's humid out and I'm definitely interested in seeing how this will work with my hair! Unfortunately, I do not have curly hair, so I'm a little skeptical... 
"Now re-ignite the youthful light of your eyes with our most comprehensive anti-aging eye serum ever. Proven to reduce the look of every key visible sign of eye aging: fine lines, wrinkles, puffiness, dark circles, dryness and uneven skin tone. 15 mL, $75 available at Esteelauder.ca. I was most excited about this item, I'm always looking for a good eye cream and if this does the job then I may just have to splurge and buy the full sized version. 
That's all for now lovelies!
