I'm pretty impressed with Top Box as of late, they have really seemed to step up their game! I'm quite happy with both my June and July boxes. I always get brands that are new to me, and they have a good mix of higher end brands with drug store type brands. I have yet to get the same item twice. I also feel their sample sizes are much better than what they were when I first subscribed.
June Items:
- Physicians Formula Argan Wear Ultra Nourishing Argan Oil Bronzer: Light Bronzer
- China Glaze Nail Lacquer (The Giver Limited Edition in the color New Birth)
- Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant
- Fruits & Passion Cucumber Face Mask
Exotic bronzer treats skin with ultra-nourishing ingredients and delivers a sunlit glow as if you've escaped to Morocco. Improves skin's brightness, tone, texture, and elasticity. 11g $20 Available at PhysiciansFormula.com
This is my very first PF product, and I'm excited to try it out! This is a very pretty light bronzer that I feel could work fairly well with my skin tone, my only qualms with this, is the scent. It's got quite a strong perfume scent to it, I suppose the only way to know for sure if I can handle it is by wearing it. It's also VERY GLITTERY, which doesn't bother me at all, but I know that isn't everyone's cup of tea.
Nail Polish
These unique lacqures contain China Clay as a nail hardener, the same material that gives porcelain its shiny finish.. 14mL $10 Available at professional nail salons.
I love this nail polish! It's very opaque, shiny, and has a really nice consistency when applying it to my nails. The color its self is interesting and I rather like it, it's kind of a white grey color that is unlike anything I owned previously.
Liquid Exfoliant
Shrink enlarged pores with this 2% liquid salicylic acid leave-on exfoliant that removes old skin cells both on the skin's surface and inside the pore. 118mL $26 Available at PaulasChoice.com
I'm interested in trying this, the bottle says it creates radiant, even toned skin, reduces redness and builds collagen, unclogs and diminishes enlarged pores. I'm ready to put that to the test ha ha.
Face Mask
This refreshing face mask contains an essence specially formulated to improve the appearance of your skin. Your skin is moisturized, softened and more luminous. ! single use mask $2.50 Available at Fruits-Passion.ca
I don't really use face masks, but I am definitely not opposed to trying! I like that this is a moisturizing mask, something my dry dry skin needs! If these are any good, I'll have to buy more, they're pretty inexpensive and I wouldn't mind seeing what other masks they offer!
July Items:
- Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF 42
- OFRA Cosmetics Universal Eyebrow Pencil
- Bare Minerals Lash Domination Volumizing Mascara
- Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat
This BB Cream offers a novel skincare concept, lightening skin tone by healing visible wrinkles and blemishes with excellent skin-cover ability, and prevents skin aging through effective brightening and anti-wrinkle properties. 50mL $23.99 Available at Missha.ca
I would have loved the opportunity to try this BB cream, unfortunately, the samples I received are not any where near my shade.
Eyebrow Pencil
Can be applied directly to the eyebrow area then smudged gently with a small brush or brow wand applicator. Use a light hand with soft feather strokes for blonde brows/ fair skin and a heavier hand for darker brows till you see the color darken with more strokes. The more you apply the brow pencil the darker the color will get. 1.13g $13 Available at OFRAcosmetics.com
I hope this works out for me, because I tend to be a little heavy handed when applying product to my brows..
Mascara
Remove excess mascara from the tip to ensure clump-free results. Starting from the base of your lashes, wiggle and twist the mascara wand through. For more volume, add a second coat. 10mL $18 Available at BareEscentuals.com
I have the full sized version of this mascara, that I bought on recommendation from my sister, and I LOVE IT! This mascara really delivers full and voluminous lashes, that really are clump free! Best 18 bucks I've ever spent ha ha!
Top Coat
Seche Vite dry fast top coat is widely acknowledged as the world's finest top coat. Specially formulated to penetrate through nail lacquer to the base coat forming a single solid coating over the nail plate for a much more durable finish. Guaranteed not to yellow while leaving nails silky, stronger and resistant to chipping and peeling. 14mL $9.95 Available at professional nail salons.
The only con I can see with this is the smell... It has a very potent chemical smell to it. That being said, it really makes my nail polish last and it looks so shiny!
That's all for today lovelies!
Have you tried any of these products?? If so which are your favorites?
