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?

[JoSometimes]

@Westcoasty Wooooo! I’m excited to see what you get.

[Westcoasty]

@JoSometimes   Me too! There's definitely been some items that @CynthieLu posted that I'd love to get, so fingers crossed there's some equivalent goodies in the August box.

[CynthieLu]

Hopefully it continues to impress us 🙏 @Westcoasty @JoSometimes I have no clue what might be in this month's, except maybe something by Clairns becuase that's how that seems to go lol

[Westcoasty]

I must admit @CynthieLu  that I'm not feeling any interest in trying Clarins products, but if the universe brings them to me, who am I to argue? LOL

@JoSometimesand @CynthieLu  I hope you get a great box this month! Only two days till it ships!

[CynthieLu]

Ooh girl! I hope it's alot of fun!

Congratulations 🎊 @Westcoasty  Is this your first sub? ( this totally was my first lol) I'm excited for you l@ 🥳

Alot of the reviews on this one are so mixed but I have been pretty ok with what I'm getting and at this price, it's pretty reasonable. 😉

[Westcoasty]

@CynthieLu   Yep, it's definitely my first sub! In the past I'd considered things like FitFabFun and subscription fashion boxes, but they were a bit rich for my blood. This seems like a great starter, though I admit that seeing what you've been getting has given me the courage to dive in. 😊

And you know, for $15, I'm willing to dabble my toe in the water. If the August box is an epic fail, it won't break the bank. But I bet there will be at least one thing in there that I like that's worth more than $15. 🤞

Anyhow, this is very exciting, I agree! It just seems like an awfully long time till August 15. I'll have to live vicariously through your July box till then. LOL

How and where do I apply for a sub box?

[CynthieLu]

There are soo many different options out there @ruthruthtruth33 

It depends on where your from, I know there are lots in the USA. I'm in Canada and I had to really look and research to find one that suited my needs and I felt I could trust. 

I chose this one because it was Canadian, was low cost and I was okay with what I read in the reviews 🙂

[JoSometimes]

Hi @ruthruthtruth33. Just search for top box in your favourite web browser. You can sign up on their website. Let us know if you do and products you get. It would be interesting to compare!

[CynthieLu]

It came today! *getting packages is so fun! 😉*

Spoiler is full of my thoughts and photos 💝😉 

Spoiler

No foiled sized samples in this box, that's a win.😄 (I do not feel I get a good sense of a product from a foil)
These are all tester size (Laniege, Clairns and Aveeda) or minis (lippie + mascara).🥳

My full size product upgrade was #Peace Out Salicylic Acid Acne Treatment Serum 1 oz / 30 mL 
It has Niacinamide, Vitamin C and Salicylic Acid. 2 of those work for my skin for sure, so I am excited to try this one. (After my current Niacinamide finishes Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum: For Plumping & Anti-Aging 1.7 oz/ 50 mL )

The lippie by Estate is a slightly deep berry. It says its a buildable lip stick.  This is one light swipe, 

I'm wearing it right now, it's a practically matte shade and very hydrating. An hour in and my lips are still berry and not dry at all. I feel like this will absorb very soon into a nice stain. (The box it came in had serious GR vibes)

I've tried other mascaras by Benefit and enjoyed them but this one is new to me too. It has very bold claims I'm happy to put to the test Benefit Cosmetics They're Real! Lengthening Mascara Black 😄

Aveeda Bond Building Styling Creme- I've used this line from Aveda before, but only in Shampoo and Conditioner. (It was great until I moved onto Olaplex 🙃) so trying this out I think will be fun.  It was a really nice line up I can revisit.  💚

LANEIGE Radian-C Brightening Treatment Essence was not on my radar, but there are soo many products from them I have really enjoyed. I hope this one is a good as others in its line.

Clarins Treatment Essence-
Every box I feel has had something by Clarins. I am not motivated to try any of them right now.  I need to make it a goal to start using them.  I've got a sizeable amount of Clairns samples Ive stashed. I need to give them some attention 😋

Final thoughts: impressed with this box 📦 👌  I'm staying in for next month 🙂

[JoSometimes]

Wooow! These are top shell items @CynthieLu! I was expecting a few to be lesser known brands or things that didn’t sell well during their run. Can’t wait to see what comes next month!

[CynthieLu]

Thank you @JoSometimes 

These were all pretty nice items. I think it was a lucky month 😉

I was familiar with all the brands except for the lippie by Estate. It really is a nice one 👍❤️

Your first Box will be on its way very soon, exciting!

[JoSometimes]

@CynthieLu Yeah! I didn’t know there was a wish list you could fill out in the hopes of getting a specific item. I didn’t check my email and missed it completely! Hopefully, there are still some gems inside. 🤞

[CynthieLu]

Ooh yes, they will send you emails and a ask you questions. @JoSometimes 

A few weeks ago I got one, after I filled it out they said they had no wish list items this month 🤗

I don't fully understand the system but I don't think you missed anything this time. 

[CynthieLu]

@JoSometimes so I just got the notice, this month's shipped today 😍

Is this month your first Box or will it be July??

[JoSometimes]

@CynthieLu None this month. My first box is next month. I’m excited to see what you’ll get though! Are you getting the regular or luxe box this month?

[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!)
