Top Box Subscription Box 📦 ✨️

[CynthieLu]

Has anyone out there tried the Top Box Subscription? ✨️📦✨️

I did and was on the fence about it.  I got my first Box and I think I'm going to keep going with it, until next month at least. 

Details:

Canadian Sub box for 15$ that gives you 4 trial sized of random products.

Pro: Affordable 

Con: Who knows what you'll get 🤗  and tiny products.

My first Box 💖

Spoiler

okay so first impressions:
Wow! What a surprise, three full size lip products! 
🩷 A liquid lipstick in Dusty Rose by Laritzy 
💚A tinted lip oil by Manna Kada
💜  A tinted lip balm by Maskeraide.

Plus, the two minis. A facial oil by Clairns and a mascara, Roller Lash by Benefit Cosmetics.

This box has more value than what I paid and the quality of the lippies were a hit for me. 
Each one tasted nice on my lips and were hydrating. Plus they look so pretty on.  

(Wearing Laritzy in Dusty Rose)

The Clairns oil is more sample than trial size so menh 😴  but I'm okay with the mini mascara, I use it everyday so it'll serve me well lol

 So my break down is just in that spoiler above. 🙃 

Final thoughts? 📦

SO,  for now,  I'm going on for another month. I'm excited to see where this goes. 

If you've had this sub box I'd love to hear about it! What did you think, what did you get? And are you still in?

@CynthieLu, where are you finding these incredible subscriptions?!

[CynthieLu]

Those one is a Canadian Sub box 🎁 I don't think there's too many of those, lol. 😉 So I was thrilled to find this one @missaa8. I just searched the internet until I found one I thought looked reputable. 😃

[missaa8]

I appreciate the inspiration! Total beauty goals, @CynthieLu 💕

[CynthieLu]

Have you tried a sub box before? @missaa8 

[missaa8]

@CynthieLu, I never know how to apply! I usually just buy whatever box is leftover, without a subscription.

[CynthieLu]

My box is ( for the first time ever?) the same as someone else's. @JoSometimes 😅

These are all repeats for me except for Clarins Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch Primer 0.50 oz/ 14 g . That one I'm excited to see in action. Clarins as a brand has been winning big time for me lately. ( Specifically the Clarins Cryo-Flash Instant Lift Effect & Glow Boosting Face Mask 2.5 oz / 75 g 🤩) and it's the only something new. That's pretty fun right? 😄

Elf primer and Flow wash are ok, I'll use them.

The Benefit Cosmetics The POREfessional Smooth Sip Lightweight Gel-Cream Moisturizer 1.7 oz / 50 ml was really nice so I'm happy to have it in a mini. 💚🩵

Benefit Cosmetics Fan Fest Fanning & Volumizing Mascara Hyper Black was really good, hello volume! and then the innisfree Green Tea Hyaluronic Acid Refillable Serum 2.71 fl oz / 80 ml was very effective. 👌 I have great memories of using these two.

@CynthieLu #twinning! 👯 Even our thoughts on the Benefit Cosmetics The POREfessional Smooth Sip Lightweight Gel-Cream Moisturizer 1.7 oz / 50 ml!

Have you tried the toner yet?

[CynthieLu]

I have not tried the toner, have you?? I'm eager for thoughts. @JoSometimes 

My skin is very sensitive to toners, I have to be so careful with them. I only use them a couple of times a week maybe. If i use them too often my cheeks get very red. 

[JoSometimes]

No, not yet @CynthieLu! I keep telling myself I’ll try it on the weekend when I’m not in a rush to be anywhere but I keep forgetting… 🫠

[CynthieLu]

Lol life is sooo busy sometimes 😅😭 I know what you mean! @JoSometimes 

[JoSometimes]

This is the special box. It turns out that I missed out on the regular one. Partially thrilled and partly disappointed by this one. 

Floss Friendly Face Cleanser - My face didn’t fully agree with this one. I repurposed the first one I got as a hand cleanser. At least I’ll have more for when spring/summer rolls around and my hands are getting dirty again. 

elf Liquid Poreless Putty Primer - I haven’t tried the first one I got. I’m trying to finish other primers that are currently open before switching to this one.

Benefit Cosmetics Mini Fan Fest Fanning & Volumizing Mascara Hyper Black - I did like this one. I’m curious to see how it performs with a real primer. It’ll be next in line after Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Hella Thicc Thicc Full-Size Volumizing Mascara Duo which is slated after Hourglass Unlocked Instant Extensions Lengthening Mascara.

Clarins Clear Out Purifying and Mattifying Toner - Another one I have but haven’t tried yet. 

innisfree Green Tea Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum - I gave this one to my wife. There’s an ingredient in it that irritates my skin but I haven’t narrowed it down yet. 

Benefit Cosmetics The POREfessional Smooth Sip Lightweight Gel-Cream Moisturizer 1.7 oz / 50 ml - I gave this one a try just now and I like it! It’s very light.

@CynthieLu What did you get???

[CynthieLu]

You got yours hurray!! 🥳🥳🥳

The whole get the mystery box, but they skip the regular box.. Just makes so little sense to me too @JoSometimes. 🤔 I feel like I miss out or something.

But I'm really happy you got yours delivered safe and sound.

I didn't mind this wash, my face seemed very ok with it. This is going to sound wierd but I found it sooo salty. I don't ever get soap in my mouth but I could detect it on my lips after washing, it was so wierd!

[JoSometimes]

@CynthieLu I think they only try to charge once and if it doesn’t go through, it’s just canceled. I wish they would inform me if that happened and give me time to fix it but it’s ok. 

I need to check the ingredients list on that cleanser. Maybe it’s got salt in it, hence the stinging for me and flavour for you. 

[CynthieLu]

My mystery box arrived Friday, I'm not posting in case @JoSometimes yours is still being delivered.

No spoilers, my photo had been cleverly edited. 😉

What could it be???

😺

[JoSometimes]

@CynthieLu I have been checking my email religiously but no emails yet about either box. 

I love your edited photo! Feel free to post. (Spoilers never bothered my anyway…)

[CynthieLu]

I imagine the storms might be delaying delivery a little bit. Today was crazy blizzardy all day. 🥶 ❄️ 

@JoSometimes Did I already ask if you had any idea what they were putting in these?

[JoSometimes]

@CynthieLu I think we had that conversation already but I’ve only had a handful of boxes. It’s impossible for me to make an informed decision.

[JoSometimes]

 

I tried to be strong but I couldn’t resist two full size and four samples. They might be repeats but it’s ok. I can always stash them away for the future. 😊

[CynthieLu]

That's sooooo tempting! I did not recieved this email. 🤩 Ooh a mystery box?? What do you hope to get??

(The Clarins Cryo-Flash Instant Lift Effect & Glow Boosting Face Mask 2.5 oz / 75 g mask was by far the best mini I got from a TopBox, that in full size would be astounding.)

[JoSometimes]

@CynthieLu I honestly don’t know what I’d want from it. I only got a few boxes this year. I’d really love another Estate Spacebound highlighter. I haven’t used it much lately but I did start to see the bottom of the pan.
