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]

Topbox collaborated with the "Look Good, Feel Better"  campaign. 100 percent of proceeds for this box go to this charity.  I think that's amazing!  ✨

I read this box sells out every year. 😲  For $125+ dollars CAD they pack in $550+ CAD worth of products.

Let's open it together 💚❤️

@CynthieLu Wowza!!

[CynthieLu]

November's Box arrived today 📦🎉

Surprised to see two full sized products,

⭐Floss vegan mascara is Black

And

⭐FarleyCo Hand Cream

I tried the hand cream right away, it's very nice. Lightly fresh scented, hints of marine/ocean scents and very hydrating on my dry fingers. This cold weather lately has really been getting too my skin.

A mini by Benefit,

⭐Benefit Cosmetics Mini Fan Fest Fanning & Volumizing Mascara Hyper Black I love **most** of my benefit mascaras, I'm really excited to try this one!

I have a few open mini's right now and a ton in my queue....but I pushed this one into my "using now" rotation.

A trial size by Clairns

Clarins Cryo-Flash Instant Lift Effect & Glow Boosting Face Mask 2.5 oz / 75 g 

Ookay a face mask, that's fun! I haven't tried this before but I'm thinking it will be nice. I've enjoyed most of the skin products by this company that have ended up in these boxes.

Value:

Okay with the Fan Fest mini sitting at 20$ retail, and this box costing me only 15$, you really do get a good value for what you pay. It's always chance what ends up in these packages but I'm good with a smooth hand cream and a mascara that's been on my radar. 😉 Overall I'm pleased with this box 🎁

[JoSometimes]

@CynthieLu Great box! That hand cream sounds nice. I’m currently using #Benefit Cosmetics Mini Fan Fest Fanning & Volumizing Mascara Hyper Black. It’s pretty good and sitting at my number two favourite mascara. 

[CynthieLu]

The hand cream feels and smells pretty lovely. The ingredients are interesting.  I can't say I've ever used a product with donkey milk before. 🙃

Ooh I took it for a test drive today. I thought the wand looked pretty standard but it really fanned and lengthened my lashes. It's a total pleasant surprise. Now curiosity begs and answer, what is your favorite mascara?? @JoSometimes 

[JoSometimes]

@CynthieLu Donkey milk!? That is a pretty unique ingredient! If it works, then why not?

My number one favourite is ILIA Limitless Lash Lengthening Clean Mascara After Midnight. I like that it goes on without any clumping. It does a great job of coating individual lashes and lengthening them. Lashes stay completely separate and fan out.

I find fan fest clumps some lashes together but not as bad as other mascaras. I’ve been using the Clarins SOS serum mascara as a primer with Fan Fest over it. I find it goes on much cleaner and lashes stay separate. 

[JoSometimes]

My subscription was cancelled for this month. I’m not sure if the payment didn’t go through or something on their end, but I won’t be getting this months box. I was pleasantly surprised to receive this in the mail from them though. 

Shiseido Essential Energy Hydrating Cream 

Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate 0.5 oz/ 15 mL 

[CynthieLu]

Ooh those are nice samples @JoSometimes Have you ever used Shiseido? They used to be a big part of my routine. 😉 

Ooh nooo, I'm sorry too hear there was a mistake around your box this month. 😥 That's a bummer. Did you reach out to customer service?

[JoSometimes]

@CynthieLu I’m curious to know what your usual routine is now! 

I didn’t email them but I’m ok with missing out this month. I have plenty of products thanks to the sale. 

[CynthieLu]

My routine is very flexible and changes depending what I think my skin needs @JoSometimes.

A safe face wash. That's currently either one by Skinfix, FAB and CeraVe atm.

Serums depending on my skin at that moment-  Ordinary Niacinamide, Sunday Riley Vitamin C, Elisabeth Arden Superstar (this is a ceramide serum), Dr Dennis Gross Hyularonic Acid.

Moisturizers I've got way too many on the go right now 😅😅😅 but L'Oreal, Biotherm, Glow Recipe etc.. 

A facial oil and SPF.. I don't know if you want to hear all the brands etc..

But I use a few, a lot, a little of this or that just depending on what's going on with my skin. 

[JoSometimes]

@CynthieLu Thank you for sharing! You’ve got quite the routine! I see a number of my favourites in there.

[CynthieLu]

Its just a mish mash what I think will work best that specific day @JoSometimes 😉

[CynthieLu]

@cianni @JoSometimes @Westcoasty

I thought maybe since we are all involved ( or have been in the past) with Top Box I wasn't the only one to get the email about the Luxe Box?

It was 26$(ish I think) and all proceeds went too Charity.

I decided to get it, I like that all proceeds went too a good cause. 💕 

Let's open it together 😉

There was a sweet card on the top 💜

 
And what's in this little box 🎁

Spoiler

 

 
And some close ups! 

A sparkly lip plumping balm 💖

A Mac Eyeshadow Duo.

These are all mini's except for the Clairns Moisturizer and Lip Balm.

I thought I'd tried every benefit mascara but maybe not this one ,🤔 it isn't ringing any bells.
3 Glam Glow mini masks I have tried but the tinted moisturizer will be new to me.

I thought for a good cause I'll decide to keep what I like and gift the rest too friends and family. I'm.defintley happy with this, like I mentioned all the proceeds to to charity and I get some fun beauty items. Nobody looses here. 😊
They have another luxe style box coming out at the end of the month but I think it's more expensive. 

Thanks for unboxing with me! 😻

[cianni]

@CynthieLu ahh yes I picked this up too!! What shades in the mac did you get? I got cork and a sparkly bronze shade that is so lovely. I’m gifting a lot of the box as stocking stuffers, but am keeping the Mac, plumping balm, Clarins Hydra-Essentiel Silky Moisturizer with Double Dose Hyaluronic Acid 1.7 oz / 50 mL (this is my third bottle and I love this stuff!) and the glam glow moisturizer. I highly recommend it! I add it to my moisturizer, and it adds a beautiful dewy glow. It is highly fragranced though (unless they changed the formula), so if you’re sensitive to that then it’s something to be aware of! It smells very tropical

[CynthieLu]

@cianni Ooh I appreciate all this product feed back. The Glam Glow Moisturizer and Clarins are both ones I've never tried. I looooove a good moisturizer so this is great too hear 😉💘My skin is drrrrryyy.

I recieved the Mac shades Charcoal Brown and Amber Lights. The make a nice little duo. ✨🤎

Thank you for the fragrance heads up, my skin is usually fine with it but it can be a huge trigger for some,that's good info too share.  🙏

[JoSometimes]

@CynthieLu Thank you for sharing the experience with all of us! I love the spoiler within a spoiler. 😂

That lippie looks interesting. I’m curious to hear your thoughts. And a Mac palette? Amazing!

[CynthieLu]

I had to test out this one right away @JoSometimes It's a very sparkly little item when you're looking directly at it. ✨

( Me trying to catch the  sparkle 💖)

Those glitters are nicely subtle on the lips.For me, I didn't detect and burning or tingling from the plumping effect. 

It leaves a light pink trace behind. This was a non drying not overly sticky gloss, this one I think I'll enjoy using.

 

[JoSometimes]

@CynthieLu That is so pretty! Looks like you go so many great finds in this box. 

[QueenMarceline]

@CynthieLu Looks like an awesome subscription box and how great that it's for a good cause! 🙂 Loved getting to "unbox it with you", I also see you got a little helping hand from your kitty ❤️

[CynthieLu]

Thank you @QueenMarceline  💖 She kept trying to fit into the tiny box it came in, but she's so big. 😆 I didn't have the heart to take it away from her, she just smushed her way into it.  😹

This was promoted by TopBox, so not my actual sub box. (That one is 15$ CAD d gives you 3-5 random testers.) 

It's a similiar idea except it was just a one time thing too raise money for Look Good, Feel better.
