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 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

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!!!

Kiss Me Heroine Make Smooth Liquid Eyeliner Review

I couldn't stand using my Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner anymore and I wanted to switch to a liquid eyeliner. Don't get me wrong, I like how long lasting the BB gel eyeliner. But for some reason it takes me forever to apply it. So I end up going on to sasa.com to look up what kind of Japanese brand liquid eyeliner is available. After reading some of the comments and price range, I end up wanting to give it a try on the "Kiss Me Heroine Make" liquid eyeliner.

The liquid dries pretty quickly after applying and it's a dark solid black. I like how the brush itself is very thin, making it easy to apply even to the thinnest line. I tired rubbing it with my finger and there was no sign smudges *thumbs up*! Although I have never cried when wearing this eyeliner, I tried putting a few drops of water on it and its still perfectly safe! However, when water + rubbing = eyeliner completely erased.

Have anyone tried this liquid eyeliner? Let me know!

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?
