Topbox June 2013

I received my june topbox two weeks ago
totally forgot abt it
I got 4 products in total
two of the products are full size

 ===============================
Jelly Pong Pong Cosmetics-Fairy Lashes Mascara
This is a full size product
retail price: $24
so this mascara alone is worth more than the topbox membership fee
I heard about jelly pong pong cosmetic brand before
but i have never tried any of their products
very excited to try this

===========================
Benefit Cosmetics-Sugarbomb Ultra Plush Gloss
I love benefit cosmetics
but i am not a big fan of lip gloss
also not a big fan of nude lip gloss
the swatch is pretty
so I will give it a try


==============================
Belvada Cosmetics-Mini Eyelash Curler
this is the other full size product 
I already have my favourite eyelash curler
so this is going to be useless for me
I will give it to my friends
===============================
Pari Beauty- Colour Cubes
Received two mineral pigments stacked together
love these two pigments
in #12 and #17
they are so pretty
the top one is a nude colour with little shimmers 
the button one is a navy pigment with little shimmers
they are so smooth
not sure about the pigmentation tho
I can't wait to use it
the packaging is so cute and convenient




===============================
Overall I am happy with June Topbox
Not sure about the mini eyelash curler tho
can't wait til July Topbox arrives
until next time

IPSY June 2013


 Ipsy is my favourite subscription service so far
I get excited every time I see the pink envelope in my mailbox
I got my June Ipsy last week
5 products in total 
I think all of them are full size as well 
==============================
NYX Rouge Cream Blush-Bronze Goodness
a full size cream bronzer with lots shimmer in it
I have never used a cream bronzer 
also not a big fan of shimmer bronzer 
I will give it a try 
don't know what to think of this bronzer yet


====================================
Starlooks Lip Pencil-Bare
full size
I heard of starlooks cosmetics before
this company also provides a monthly subscription service
the lip pencil is very creamy
the colour is really not my type of colour
it is like a dark plum colour
I don't use dark purple colour lipsticks
so I don't think I will use this

===============================
J.Cats Eyelashes+Eyelash Glue
Full size
surprisingly a eyelash glue is included 
very convenient 
I don't wear fake eyelashes anymore
but I will save it for a special occasion
=====================================
J.Cats Sparkling Cream Palette-Volta
full size (not sure tho)
5 beautiful Sparkling cream eyeshadows
This will last me literally forever
can't wait to try it
===============================================
Chella-Ivory Lace Highlighter Pencil
full size?
at least it's a really good size
so excited to see a highlighter pencil 
I was planning to buy one
never heard of Chella before
but the swatch is very nice
and it's so creamy
the colour is very easy to glide on
can't wait to try it

======================================
June Cosmetic bag
a pretty leopard print!!!!!
the best ipsy cosmetic bag so far
===================================
the size of all these 5 products are very good
discovered Chella cosmetic brand from June Ipsy bag
Recieve NYX products once in awhile is okay for me I guess
Well done once again IPSY
until next time

Burberry Cosmetic Haul (Gift with Purchase)

Burberry cosmetic gift with purchase 
from march 21, 2013-march 24, 2013
min purchase with $150 CAD
at Holt Renfrew
I am so obsessed with burberry cosmetic 
so when I found out that they are hosting a gift with purchase event
I knew I must have to go 
 ===========================================
I purchased three things from burberry today
velvet foundation
fresh glow (primer)
and a velvet lipstick
==============================================
Velvet Foundation 
colour: No.203 Trench
price: $68
suppose to give a matte long last finish on the face
I have never tried burberry foundation before
I will do a product review in the future

===============================================
Fresh Glow
luminous fluid base
price: $66
I don't have a good primer 
or at least a primer that I actually love
so the burberry cosmetic sale associate recommended this primer for me
It's very hydrating 
and leaves a hint of glow 
I will do a review on it in the future

======================================
Lip Velvet
colour: Honey suckle no.305
I love love love love burberry lipsticks
It's hydrating on the lips,
but not sticky 
last a long time on the lips as well
also the packaging is so adorable
however I picked a wrong color this time
I actually have this colour in my collection
so I have to go exchange for a different colour

===========================================
The actually gifts
a burberry cosmetic bag
a full size lip glow
a kabuki brush
a deluxe sample size body fragrance
a sample size fragrance
 =======================================
This cosmetic bag is very chic
a metallic kinda bag
with burberry name embossed on the bag
the inside is black fabric 
=======================================
The full size lip glow 
this lip gloss is not sticky on the lips
I feel that this colour can go with lots outfits and makeup looks
======================================
The kabuki brush
comes with a black velvet wrap
the brush is so soft
the burberry writing is embossed on the handle


=========================================
 Deluxe sample size body fragrance

=========================================
Another body fragrance
I love to receive sample size fragrances
I usually put one in my cosmetic bag
it doesn't take much space

==================================
Also the sales associate gave me two samples
burberry don't have many sample choices
so I picked the concealer and lip samples
==================================================
Burberry cosmetics are never on sale
so gift with purchase event is the perfect time to stock up or try new things
I don't think these kinda gift with purchase events come often 
until next time

Glossy Box Canada February 2013 Birthday Box

 Glossy Box Canada February Birthday Box 2013
I thought Glymm is the worst subscription box
but I was actually wrong
Glossy Canada is actually the worst subscription box
I am not a regular subscriber to Glossy Box Canada
I think by paying 20ish something per month for drug store products 
is simply stupid
but I thought their birthday box might be a good box
so I just signed up for february






===========================================
Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips-Ultra
Full size
$9.99
I don't use strips because I think it's just gonna make my pores bigger
I will just give this to my friend
I heard from my friend that this strip doesn't even work that well 
=======================================
Anatomicals You Need a Blooming Shower
Rose and Jasmine Body Cleanser
Full size
$3
I have never heard of this brand,
judging by the price
it's no doubt another drug store product
the smell of this body wash is very nice
springish and fresh
I will for sure use it
================================================
Essence Quatro Eyeshadow
colour code: oh-so-cute
Full size
$3.99
Another drug store product
the pigmentation is bad
nowhere compare to urban decay eyeshadows or even Revlon eyeshadows
================================================
Elite Models Intensity Eye Pencil
black
Full size
$14.99
This is probably my fav item from this box
It's so creamy and pigmentation is very good
I only did a swatch on my hand
have not used it yet
I am very happy to receive this

=====================================
Macadamia natural Oil Healing Oil Treatment
Sample size
30ml for $13.5
I don't think the price of this oil treatment on the product card is kinda misleading
I saw this exact oil treatment full size at shopper drug mart 
for only $12 
It was on sale tho
I am okay with this sample
=============================
3 Bonus 
two foil packaged samples and 
glossybox cupcake kit


============================================
Overall I think Glossy Box Canada really really sucks
Drug store items are always on sale
I can get all those drug store products for probably less than 10 dollars
paying $20ish per month to get drug store samples are not worth it at all
Even tho we got 4 full size products 
but it's still the worst sub box !
