Top Box Subscription Box ๐Ÿ“ฆ โœจ๏ธ

Has anyone out there tried the Top Box Subscription? โœจ๏ธ๐Ÿ“ฆโœจ๏ธ

 

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 ๐Ÿค—  and tiny products.

 

My first Box ๐Ÿ’–

 

MTXX_MH20230418_172646102.jpg

Spoiler
okay so first impressions:
Wow! What a surprise, three full size lip products! 
๐Ÿฉท A liquid lipstick in Dusty Rose by Laritzy 
๐Ÿ’šA tinted lip oil by Manna Kada
๐Ÿ’œ  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.

The Clairns oil is more sample than trial size so menh ๐Ÿ˜ด  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. ๐Ÿ™ƒ 

Final thoughts? ๐Ÿ“ฆ

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?

 

Re: Top Box Subscription Box ๐Ÿ“ฆ โœจ๏ธ

Enjoy it all! @JoSometimes

I hope you find some good inspiration for the blush. ๐Ÿงก That little compact is pretty sweet thou. I couldn't believe they put a full sized makeup item in the box. ๐Ÿ˜„

Re: Top Box Subscription Box ๐Ÿ“ฆ โœจ๏ธ

@CynthieLu We did get that full sized highlighter in one of the previous boxes.

 

The more I look at this monthโ€™s blush, the more it says โ€œno-makeup makeup lookโ€ to me. 

Re: Top Box Subscription Box ๐Ÿ“ฆ โœจ๏ธ

As I recall I was pretty stoked about that highlighter too @JoSometimes ๐Ÿ˜‰

I love the little mirror compact with this one. Its just so nice ๐Ÿ˜„I  see what you mean about this blush and it's color. It's very natural flush ๐Ÿงกโœจ

Re: Top Box Subscription Box ๐Ÿ“ฆ โœจ๏ธ

@JoSometimes lol I'm thinking mine will arrive Monday and I have no clue what's inside this month ๐Ÿ˜…

Re: Top Box Subscription Box ๐Ÿ“ฆ โœจ๏ธ

@CynthieLu I tried looking around but I canโ€™t seem to find any info on whatโ€™s in the box this monthโ€ฆ

 

 

Re: Top Box Subscription Box ๐Ÿ“ฆ โœจ๏ธ

I may have done the same lol. @JoSometimes It's irresistible curiosity to blame. ๐Ÿ˜…

I keep getting asked through email about the Laura Mercier body collection. Asking how I enjoyed my sample,even thou I never recieved a sample. ๐Ÿค”

So that might be featured in this box possibly ...or it was just a few samples that never made it to my door. 

Re: Top Box Subscription Box ๐Ÿ“ฆ โœจ๏ธ

@CynthieLu Strangeโ€ฆ The emails I get have lined up with what was in my past boxes.

Re: Top Box Subscription Box ๐Ÿ“ฆ โœจ๏ธ

Top box Experiences in the inbetween time ๐ŸŽ

The email came last week with a little questionnaire about my box. After I got asked if I wanted to pay 10$ additional for the Privee box and I paid. I like that deal ๐Ÿ˜

However,

I did just get the email today saying they had run out.

I was surprised they didn't say right away that my additional charge would be refunded right? I emailed CS and inquired about it, I'm sure they'll issue a refund once they sort out who's getting or not getting the Privee box ๐Ÿค—

 

Re: Top Box Subscription Box ๐Ÿ“ฆ โœจ๏ธ

@CynthieLu I got the same offer. Iโ€™ve been off this past month, so moneyโ€™s been tight. Maybe next time. 

Hopefully you get the refund!

Re: Top Box Subscription Box ๐Ÿ“ฆ โœจ๏ธ

I'm sure I will @JoSometimes, I wish I could know what would have been in the box thou, I'm curious ๐Ÿคจ๐Ÿ˜„

Re: Top Box Subscription Box ๐Ÿ“ฆ โœจ๏ธ

I got the same box as @JoSometimes - I confess I'd rather have had the box @CynthieLu got! But I'm happy with mine just the same. I've been looking at that eyebrow wax for awhile, for sure, and I already have a bunch of Innisfree products that are going to go into rotation fairly soon. I had to laugh when I saw the Clarins, remembering all the times @CynthieLu got Clarins items! But that's okay, it'll go into my Clarins bag, and I'll put them all into rotation when I have a good range of products.

I think I need to practice my haul "selfies", though. LOL

 

Re: Top Box Subscription Box ๐Ÿ“ฆ โœจ๏ธ

Nice box @Westcoasty! ๐Ÿ˜‰

 

I agree. It seems like this is Clarinsโ€™ way of spreading the word about their products. I love that you have a bag of just things from them!

Re: Top Box Subscription Box ๐Ÿ“ฆ โœจ๏ธ

@JoSometimes  I actually have a large canvas bag full of sets of product lines. I save them by brand, and that way I can try out a product line all at once without needing to make expensive investments in their stuff without knowing if I like it or not. I did purge some items recently, just some foils and such that I knew I'd never use, but there's still a whole lot left! Including Clarins. LOL

Re: Top Box Subscription Box ๐Ÿ“ฆ โœจ๏ธ

Thatโ€™s smart @Westcoasty! I tend to try things out by need. I donโ€™t quite have that large of a collection to go by brand. 

Re: Top Box Subscription Box ๐Ÿ“ฆ โœจ๏ธ

@JoSometimes  It's accumulated over several years. Some of the samples probably need to be thrown out by now! But I do tend to try for rewards and samples of products where I'm collecting the brand.

Re: Top Box Subscription Box ๐Ÿ“ฆ โœจ๏ธ

Congratulations on getting your box! ๐ŸŽ ๐Ÿ’ @Westcoasty I hope you enjoy everything. 

Clairns makes really good products, I've got to test out a good few items now. Lol, I feel like they are possibly supporters of this sub box ๐Ÿ˜‰ 

I'm a big sun screen everyday kinda person, if I'm not diligent I skip the retinols too. I don't want to waste my efforts. And for weeks after you stop using as well, that's a big sunscreen commitment. ๐Ÿค—

(I just tried a tiny bit of the HA serum on my damp face after I washed it tonight,  oh its really nice! )

 

Re: Top Box Subscription Box ๐Ÿ“ฆ โœจ๏ธ

@CynthieLu  Yes, I'm kind of getting the impression that Clarins sends a lot of business their way myself. LOL

 

I'm looking forward to trying the Clarins in due course, but I've taken a page from your book and am rotating my product lines to see what my skin likes. The Grown Alchemist rewards bazaar box I got unfortunately wasn't a winner, but I'll keep going!

Re: Top Box Subscription Box ๐Ÿ“ฆ โœจ๏ธ

My August Box ๐Ÿ“ฆ ๐ŸŒป

1000015858.jpg

Coincidence,  I also was going to purchase a brow wax but held off because I've never found one I liked.  My brow story is, they are sparse from over plucking in my youth but each hair is thick, and it's a wierd combo let me tell you ๐Ÿ˜…

I got a serum by Innisfree innisfree Green Tea Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum 2.7 oz / 80 mL 

From Clarins ( this brand is in every box so far)  Clarins Multi-Active Anti-Aging Day Moisturizer for Glowing Skin 1.6 oz/ 47 mL 

And 2 items by Benefit 

Benefit Cosmetics Fluff Up Brow Flexible Brow-Texturizing Wax Clear 

Benefit Cosmetics Mini Precisely, My Brow Pencil Waterproof Eyebrow Definer Shade 3 ( a full size item, that is a rare Unicorn, hurray!)

 

I'm very happy with what I have this time, a break from lippies and mini mascaras was really nice.  I'll use the day cream and HA serum, they both will fit into my routine nice and easy.  HA goes so easily into a routine and subbing out my day cream for a few days with this will be so simple. 

Clairns is good quality and a nice brand and Innisfree is like a kbeauty legend, soo yeahy ๐Ÿ™Œ

 

My verdict is,  I'm super happy and going in for another month ๐Ÿ™‚

Re: Top Box Subscription Box ๐Ÿ“ฆ โœจ๏ธ

Lucky you @CynthieLu! A full-sized brow pencil! Hopefully itโ€™s the right shade for you and they work well together with the wax.

Now that @CynthieLu and @Westcoasty have their boxes, we can all post our thoughts on this monthโ€™s box!


Itโ€™s all trial sizes this time but they all seem like good ones.

 

Benefit Cosmetics Fluff Up Brow Flexible Brow-Texturizing Wax Clear 

innisfree Green Tea Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum 2.7 oz / 80 mL 

Clarins Multi-Active Anti-Aging Day Moisturizer for Glowing Skin 1.6 oz/ 47 mL 

Jouviance 3D Retinol+

Iโ€™m happy to see the brow wax in there. Lately, Iโ€™ve just being using a pencil to do my brows. I have elfโ€™s Wow Brow gel to tame the hairs a little, but it always makes my brows look super dark. I was going to replace it with something clear or translucent but now I donโ€™t have to! I used it once already and I liked it.

 

Iโ€™m surprised to see some k-beauty in here with the innisfree serum. They always seem to do a good job with their R&D to ensure itโ€™s friendly for sensitive skin and my skin generally enjoys Hyaluronic acid products. 

Clarinsโ€™ cream is the one Iโ€™m mildly apprehensive about trying. The packaging said for normal to oily skin but online, it says formulated for all skin types. At least itโ€™s trial size, so itโ€™s not the end of the world if I find itโ€™s not doing much for me. 

I almost bought a retinol a few days ago but decided to wait. Iโ€™m glad to see Jouvianceโ€™s the box. Itโ€™ll save me from having to get another for a little while. It says formulated for sensitive skin, so Iโ€™m excited to give it a try. The price for a full size is up there though, so hopefully I donโ€™t fall in love with it too much! 

Re: Top Box Subscription Box ๐Ÿ“ฆ โœจ๏ธ

@JoSometimesI got the same box as you. I'm a little doubtful about trying the Jouviance, for the simple reason that I'm terrible about wearing sunscreen. But the brow wax and the Innisfree serum are both things I want to try, and the Clarins will get tried out once I put my little bag of Clarins trial sizes into rotation. I hope you enjoy your goodies!
