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]

I am supposed to be getting the luxe box. They are usually sold out. They only have a limited number of them each time. I was surprised I didn't miss it tbh. @JoSometimes I'm excited to see what it'll be *jumps with excited glee* lol 😉

[Westcoasty]

@CynthieLu  I keep thinking about this subscription! I'm not working right now and I shouldn't plonk my money down on it, but it sounds like you're getting great deals, and ....surprises! Beauty products! What's not to love??

[CynthieLu]

@Westcoasty I heard about this awhile ago,  it took me a long time to bite tbh.

I am still so new to this Sub and haven't decided what I think about it. I have some pros and cons but I do love it's affordability to have a little fun. 🙂

Allot of the reviews said they ended up with to many mascaras and lippies but my issue,  is having sensitive skin,  I'm worried it'll be products that won't work for me.

I hope seeing us open a couple will help you decide down the road 😉

[Westcoasty]

@CynthieLu   Oh I definitely want to try it! I'm just trying to convince myself to wait till I'm working again. LOL. I think I got saved for this month because the box would ship while I'm out of town for my mother's 80th birthday, and I don't want it left sitting outside. But the products you've gotten so far mostly look like things I'd love to try.

[JoSometimes]

See you next month… (Thank you @CynthieLu!)

[CynthieLu]

Ooooh exciting!! 🥳

We're in it together now. 😉@JoSometimes  I wonder what will be inside ours this month??

Honestly, I still am not sure what to think of this random little box but I'm having fun figuring it out. 🩷

[JoSometimes]

@CynthieLu I’m set to get my first one in July. It’ll be interesting to see what comes. I’m a little worried about getting a box of things I can’t make much use of even though I filled out a profile to try and prevent that.

[CynthieLu]

I felt similarly @JoSometimes It's a total gamble 🎲  😋

[CynthieLu]

Updates: I got an option last month to do a survey and upgrade this month's box to a luxe box for 10$, so I did.😅 There was a limited quantity and no guarantee about what it would contain. It did mention a full size product would be included. 

The sub boxes have been shipped and I'm curious to see what the upgraded box looks like. 👀 🤗 

[JoSometimes]

Thanks really cool that you have access to a luxe box @CynthieLu. A full sized item could easily be worth more than $25.

[CynthieLu]

I'm in this to really see what this box is about, so I figured I had to splurge... for science 🧐 

@JoSometimes lol 🙃

[JoSometimes]

I wholeheartedly support your pursuit of science @CynthieLu! Fingers crossed it something g good! 👌

May's Sub Box Arrived 🌳🪻💐

The paper for Benefit Cosmetics was right on top, so I had a big hint to what was inside before I opened it.

The Opening:

Spoiler

 

Inside:
Another Surprise full-size product.  Alicia Keys brand Sunscreen.
Keys Soulcare Daily Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 1.69 oz / 50 mL I actually already received that as a a free product to test but it was a pretty OK sunscreen so I'm good with it. 😄 I can never have to much spf really since I try to wear it every day. 🌞
A good size trial of Benefit Cosmetics Mini The POREfessional Good Cleanup Foaming Cleanser 1.5 oz / 45 ml (mine is 19ml)
Benefit Cosmetics The POREfessional Smooth Sip Lightweight Gel-Cream Moisturizer 1.7 oz / 50 ml (mine is 10ml)

Another Clairns sample (uugh I'm super over Clairns lol) this one is at least not microscopic 😉
This is 8ml of Clarins Masvelt Advanced Body Firming & Shaping Cream 6.6 oz / 200 mL it's a body cream and this is enough to have a good use or two out of it. 

And my initial thoughts and impressions about the 📦 😉

Spoiler

Okay, so again the value far exceeded what I paid.  Getting the full size spf in there was a huge surprise.
I'm happy it isn't a bunch of lippies and mascaras because others reviews made it seem like that was the trend. 
So did I need the products in this box? 
No.
I just like getting to try new things 🤗

I am worried my skin won't agree with the Benefit Cosmetics, it's a risk doing anything with sensitive skin.  

Where I stand right now is... I'll get it next month again and see if I want to keep getting these surprises. I think it's fun and not too costly, so I'm in again for next month 😄

🩷💜🧡

[JoSometimes]

I was starting to wonder about this and what you’d get this month. Now I really want to give this a try. Thanks for the update @CynthieLu!

[CynthieLu]

A fun part of the experience was waiting for it 😉 @JoSometimes 

They got me for another month at least, this has been pretty harmless so far 🙂

[CynthieLu]

This is a sub box of trial sizes but you only get 3,4 or 5 I'm new to it and testing it out right now lol

@greeneyedgirl107 since you were asking about if there was a sample sub box 😉 

[greeneyedgirl107]

@CynthieLu thanks for letting me know!

[CynthieLu]

So update: Last month's Sub Box was very lip product heavy.  But I will say each of them was great. I have super dry lips and wearing each of these was so pleasant.  They were all non drying and felt great to wear. So they were a very happy surprise to add to my collection. I think they vetted these lip products well.  I don't ever have this much luck with random lip products.  So I'm left feeling happy so far, which I think is a great place to be with a sub box full of surprises.

I wasn't a big fan of the Clairns. The size of the tester was ridiculously small. There was no way to tell how my skin really liked it in any way.  So that felt pointlessly added at the end of the day.  👎 

Benefit Cosmetics Mini Roller Lash Curling & Lifting Mascara 0.14 oz/ 4 g 

Now that was a good one as well. The shape of the brush really does allow you to get a good lift to your lashes. Especially if you hold them up for a few seconds each time before you pull them through. It was a great one to experiment with. I was happy to try this one in the end as well. 😊

My final feelings on this sub box after playing with the items was that at 15$ it really was a good idea to see what the next month will bring 🎁 

[JoSometimes]

Thanks for your review of the both the service and the products that came @CynthieLu! $15 a month is… dangerous…

[CynthieLu]

Thank you @JoSometimes 💛 It was a gamble,  but a gamble I could afford. 😉 

Some  online reviews have complained its very lip producy heavy, I guess I will see if that's a trend or not 🤗

I wonder what next month will bring?
