Topbox May 2013

Ta-daa! These are the things that I got for this month's Topbox:

Cuccio Colour Nail Lacquer So So Sofia

Lise Watier Stylista

Yaby Jungle Mist

Roberto Cavalli Perfumed Shower Gel

Although I haven't tried the Lise Watier lipgloss and Yaby eye shadow (on my face ofc), just putting on my hand feel as though it is very pigmented! I really liked the teal colour eye shadow, its a very gorgeous green to put on the eyes.

Been ordering Topbox for quiet sometime now but I still have not yet been super surprised by them yet. I hope they can do a little bit better on the next one!

Topbox April 2013

For this month's Topbox I was lucky enough to receive the Elizabeth Arden's Prevage PriveBox!

Inside contains:
PREVAGE Anti-aging + Intensive Repair Daily Serum
Flawless Finish Sponge-on Cream Makeup
Beautiful Color Lash Enhancing Mascara
All Gone Eye and Lip Makeup Remover

Overall very satisfy with this month's box! I am looking forward to give it a try on the Prevage serum and the flawless finish cream.

I already gave a try on makeup remover. I liked how it is an oil based remover which can easily remove my waterproof mascara. So thumbs up for that!

Topbox March 2013

This month's topbox did not impress me that much. But it's okay I m cool with it!
So here goes....!

Aveda Caribbean Therapy Body Creme (25ml)
Vera Wang Lovestruck Floral Rush (4ml)
L'Oreal Professionnel Mythic Oil x 2 (3ml)
MaskerAide I don't want grow up Lift, Firm & soften Fine Lines

Few of my girlfriends also chose the regular Topbox rather than the privebox for this month. They each got a little something different in their box. One got the Chloe perfume, another got the Clinique eye serum or mascara.

What did you end up getting in your Topbox this month? Let me know because I am super curious!

Topbox February 2013

Woohoo! Guess what I got in this month's Topbox?

I was lucky enough to receive the Benefit Privé Box (Privé Box is basically a box that is filled with samples from one brand)!! I am very happy with this month's box since the box is totally stuffed with goodies from Benefit! Although I never tried any of benefit's, i find their packaging to be very attractive and cute.

So here is this month's goodies... Drum roll please...! *dom dom dom dom dom*

Benefit Benetint

Benefit The POREfessional Balm

Benefit Total Moisture Facial Cream

Left: Benefit Dandelion Pressed Powder 

Right: Benefit Dandelion Ultra Plush Lipgloss

There was also a sample size of Benefit Fine One One, which can be use for cheeks or lip.

Can't wait to try them all!!!

Topbox January 2013

This month's Topbox is Clinique's beauty box featuring repairwear laser focus.

I've never tried Clinique's skincare products before so I am pretty excited.

From Left to Right:

Colour Surge Eye Shadow Duo- 02 Like Mink

Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle & UV Damage Corrector (7ml)

Rinse Off Eye Makeup Solvent (60ml)

Clarifying Lotion (30ml)

I really like the duo eye shadow, a very neutral colour that I would use for sure! I also like how the exterior of this case is a mirror. Good to carry on the go!

Was this month's box a yay or nay for you? Let me know!

Topbox December 2012

No doubt this month's Topbox is a big disappointment to many girls since its Christmas and we would wish companies like Topbox to show some generosity! But personally, I didn't expect much from them because the more you expect, the bigger the disappoint is... So here goes for this month's samples:

Left: Chloé Eau de Parfum, 5ml

Right: Goldwell Hot form Spray, 150ml full size

A lot of people have been raving about the Chloé perfume on how good it smells. 

I guess it does smell pretty nice. haha. But what I really like about it is the cute little sample bottle!

As for the Goldwell Hot form Spray, its a heat protected spray. 

But considering its a "full size" its actually a pretty tiny hairspray!

Can't wait to give it a try because the only brand that I've tried is the TRESemmé heat protected spray (which doesn't really "protect" my hair ends)

Ferro Cosmetics Blush X3

I've got to say when I first opened this, I looked at the color of this blush and I thought..."its shimmering brown."... no way it can be a blush for my yellow skin type...I guess I will use it as a eyeshadow.. I wasn't very please with the packaging because when I opened, the powdery dust was everywhere! grrr.

Kellett Skincare Clarifying Acne Treatment, 3ml each

I have been having a lot of acne problems for the past few years and its been getting more severe but thankfully its getting better after I start using The Regimen from Acne.org (I shall do an update later on my skin!). So after reading the ingredient in this sample, it contains 5% of Benzoyl Peroxide. What it is, "is used as an acne treatment, for improving flour, for bleaching hair and teeth, for polymerising polyester and many other uses."- Wikipedia

After putting this on your pimples, it basically whitens your blemishes and dries up your pimples. 

Comparing the Kellet skincare with the Regimen, the Regimen only contains 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide... Personally, after the first week of using the Regimen's BP, it already made my skin super flaky (yes, I might have put too much on my skin to begin with which my skin didnt get used to it) But what I am trying to say is, since the 2.5% BP can already make my skin that flakey... no doubt Kellett's BP could make it worst! Therefore, when using it the first time don't put too much!!

Was this month's Topbox a thumbs up or thumbs down for you?

November 2012 Topbox

I apologize for not getting this up sooner than I was suppose to since I was away! So here are the goodies that I have received from Topbox for November.

From left to right:

Pari Beauty Lip Paint Red

China Glaze Nail Polish I'm not Lion

Benefit they're Real!

Roberto Cavalli Deluxe Miniature Perfume

The Roberto Cavalli's bottle is quiet adorable but when I first took a sniff it, the scent was just like any other regular perfume to me. After the second time I smell, there's a bit of soapy scent in the perfume. But still, I don't really like the perfume.. just not my taste.

I didn't like the redness of the Pari Beauty Lip paint but I like how it smells like chocolate!

I don't know if its just me ... but it always takes me a few tries to determine if I like the mascara or not.  There is always a big blob of uneven mascara on my first try and it gets better as time goes.  I can't say I like it a lot (at least its doing its job as a mascara) but the wand is pretty flexible and the tip is extra long and pointy to do the bottom lashes (which is a thumbs up!) 

I am in love with this gold sparkly nail polish! The perfect color for Christmas! 2 coats would definitely do the trick! But it would probably be painful when I have to remove it...
