Beauty Box 5 May 2013

BB5 always comes in the end of the month

I jst got it today

5 items in total

 ================================================

La Fresh Deodorant Wipes

I always receive La Fresh products from BB5

I don't mind it,

cuz I really enjoy using products from La Fresh

however I don't use Deodorant

I don't sweat much

probably I will just give it to my friends

====================================

Jean Pierre Tanning Towelettes

never heard of this brand before

I have never used tanning products before

can't wait to give it a try

==================================================

Coolway Transform Styling Spray

This size is a very decent size

it's half of the full size

so this sample alone is worth $12

Even though I am always happy to receive hair products

but I used Coolway product before

not a fan at all

so don't know what to think of this sample

===============================================

Model Co Black Eyeliner

This is the only full size product

So far I really like this eyeliner

the colour is so black

and very creamy

the pigmentation is fantastic 

===============================================

Ferro Cosmetics Mineral Eyeshadow

This can be a perfect highligh for me

there is so much products in this lil pot

can't wait to use it

===============================================

Overall I am okay with may bb5

the products are not super exciting 

but not super bad neither

until next time

Beauty Box 5 March 2013

Beauty Box 5 March

This is my first bb5

It comes with this beautiful blue box

 ========================================

Tree Hut moisturizing lotion-Tropical Mango

I am so happy that I got body lotion instead of body butter

I feel like that body butter is too sticky and hard to absorb into the skin

The size is very good

The scent is very fresh and fruity

================================

La Fresh nail polish remover wipe

I guess there wipes are for travel

but I don't ever bring nail polish and nail polish remover on vacation with me

however I did like the la fresh  facial wipes I'd received from my sub box

so can't wait to try them

===========================================

~H2O Plus Spa Sea Salt Body Wash

This couldn't come in a better time

I am going on vacation in the end of the month

so this will come in handy 

I have always wanted to try products from H2O+

so excited I got this

==========================

~H2O Plus Eye lift concentrate

another sample from H20+

very happy abt this

I always like to receive eye creams

the size is very good

=============================================

Brazen Cosmetics eyeshadow

I think the colour code is type a 

it's a matte brown colour

don't always receive matte colour eyeshadows

so very happy that I got this colour

===========================================

Overall I am extremely happy with march beauty box 5

Probably this is one of my fav boxes 

can't wait to see the april box

until next time

IPSY March 2013

Ipsy march edition is here

The theme of this month is "the great escape"

I guess all the products of this month would be vacation related

 Ipsy is truely one of the my favourite subscription boxes 

the other fav would be topbox

anyways

we got 5 products in total, excluding the cosmetic bag 

=========================================

La Fresh travel lite makeup remover wipes

personally I wouldn't bring wipes to vacation with me

however I heard greats things abt La Fresh wipes on youtube

I will give it a try for sure

and i think these La Fresh wipes are more expensive compare to other wipes

===========================================

GlamRX mini freestyle palette 

I guess this is a great idea for going away on vacation

aka putting all fav eyeshadows or blushes however you wanna it to be

but once again, I don't think this would be one of my travel essentials

======================================

Yaby eye shadow refills

This might be the most exciting products for me this month

These sample eyeshadows are so cute

even tho the size is super small

but I am sure these mini eye shadows would last me a long time

and the colours are so nice

I got a taupe colour and a emerald colour

the taupe eye shadow would be perfect for everyday use

and the emerald colour is the colour of the spring this year

many high end cosmetic companies, (Tom Ford, YSL) all included emerald in their 2013 s/s cosmetic collect

I tried a lil bit emerald eye shadows, 

the pigmentation is so good, the eye shadows are so creamy

love it

=======================================

Juice Beauty hydrating mist

I never tried this brand before 

and I have never used any sort of mist before

so kinda excited to try it

or I will bring this to the beach with me in the summer

============================================

Last but not the least

the cosmetic bag

the cosmetic bag of this month is very "theme appropriate"

I like the prints on it

i think it's very chic and fun

the material of this bag is a bit unusual

It's like a "plastic-kish"

reminds me of a really good quality plastic bag

however I am very happy with this bag

because of this material, 

it's perfect to bring it whenever I am going to a beach

cuz the sands won't get stuck on the surface

and if it get wet,

the products inside wouldn't get soaked 

=========================================

overall I like all the products that I have received this month

Today Toronto is raining

made me so depressed

but when I got my ipsy bag today

it has definitely brighten my day

xoxo

until next time

Topbox March 2013

Topbox came so early this month

I was so surprised when i saw it in my mailbox

I chose the radom box

and I am very happy with my decision

The tube is really full

==============================================

MaskerAide mask (Pre party Prep)

Price: 4.99

I was so happy to see this mask in my box

I heard so much good things abt this mask

but it's kinda too pricey for me

I wanted to try it out first before I purchase it

This is the only full size product in this month's box

===========================================

L'oreal Professional Mythic Oil

Two samples

I am always happy to receive hair products from my subscription box

however Topbox claims that they only give out high end products 

and i don't think L'oreal is a high end brand

=========================================

Aveda caribbean therapy body cream

I will put this in my makeup bag as a hand cream

=========================================

Marc Jacobs Fragrances sample pack

3 different kinds of fragrances

Daisy, Daisy Eau So Fresh, and Lola

I tried Daisy from my girlfriend's fragrance collection before

I loved it

so very happy to receive the samples

I usually put a sample fragrances in my cosmetic bag

the sample doesn't take much space 

and I can use it whenever I am outside

The pouch is the icing on the cake

it's so lovely

=====================================================

Topbox is still one of my fav sub boxes

I love it 

until next time

The Natural Beauty Box February 2013

It's been awhile since my last post

I was at Montreal for a few days

then midterms

so I am kinda behind with my beauty box post

anyways this is my natural beauty box february 

I received 10 samples!

This is very impressive!

The box is so adorable

The envelope sticker actually is with my Chinese name on it

=====================================================

Beauty without cruelty body lotion 

sample size: 2oz

sample worth $3.5

I really like this body lotion

I was so happy when I saw this body lotion in my box

cuz my body lotion almost ran out at that time

I have been using this since I got it

so for like 2 weeks now

I still have not finished it up yet

keep in mind that I do use body lotion everyday

so this is a very decent size

This body lotion works very well

feel very nice on my skin

the scent remind my dark chocolate with some herbal for some reasons

however I don't think i will purchase this product in the future

I usually just grab whatever body lotion is on sale at local drug store

===============================================================

Selma Valentine whipped sugar scrub

Sample size: 1 oz

Full size: 10 oz

Full size cost: $16

Sample worth: $3

This is a handmade body scrub

I have used this twice now

once a week

I still have not finished this sample yet...

but almost gone

I love this scrub so much

because the scent is so lovely, 

a coconut scent

and when I apply it,

the sugars seem like it has melted into my skin

my body feel so soft up to 4 to 5 days 

================================================

Pharmacopia verbena everyday bar soap

sample size: 1.5 oz

===============================================

Wine delights beer natural nourishing and extra hydrating shampoo

sample size: 1oz

full size: 16 oz

full size cost: $26

sample worth: $6.5

When I saw this shampoo in my box

I wasn't happy with it

because the name "beer" 

However I totally changed my mind on this product after I have used it

I used this for 3 times til it's finished

I was so sad when I saw the empty bottle

This shampoo doesn't smell like beer

It made my hair so soft

and I don't feel any dryness 

I love this shampoo

so happy I gave it a try

===================================================

Kynk naturals African black soap

sample worth: $10

Like I said I don't use soaps

so can't see anything about this product

however it is a decent size

=======================================================

Overall beauty minerals mineral eye shadows

sample size: 3 grams

full size: 5 grams

full size cost:$5.50

sample worth:$3.30

I don't have the colour code for this sample

it's a grey eye shadow

the pigmentation is good

the size of this sample is very generous

============================================

Jadience herbal formula purifying toner

sample worth: $1.5

I haven't used this sample yet

but seems very promising

I do wish this is not a foil packaged sample

===========================================

Tao of man daily skin defense

sample worth: $2.50

I like the idea that natural beauty box throw a male product in the box

once again I do wish this is not a foil packaged sample

sample size: 1.oz

full size: 100 grams

full size coast: 5.50

sample worth: $2.00

==================================================

Overall I like the natural beauty box 

I do like the samples I have tried so far

especially the beer shampoo and the body scrub

most likely I will purchase these two products in the future

however I don't like the fact that I received so 3 soaps

until next time
