My June Topbox came a
little unexpectedly. It was scheduled to arrive on the 14th, but
CanadaPost had it listed as stuck in Ontario. I didn’t get mine until the 18th.
No big deal though, I know I’m going to get it, and a week
or two late is better than not getting it at all. Customer service was also very friendly and helpful, and
they helped me track my ‘stuck’ package.
Yay for:
Stila 10-in-1 HD BB Cream 5ml
This wasn’t on my product description card. Instead I think I
was supposed to receive the M. Asam cream, but I got this instead. I’m not
complaining, I am a fan of Stila, and a fan of BB creams. I’ve tried this once
already and really enjoyed the formula. Not drying, smooth, and silky.
Stila Forever Your Curl Mascara 3.5ml
I don’t often wear mascara. Anything but waterproof mascara
always smudges under my eyes, and I don’t like how difficult it is to remove
waterproof mascara. So I’d rather go without. That being said, this holds a
curl really well. I think since I’ve been sullied by the thought of mascara,
anything that holds a curl and gives length/volume is fine in my books.
Simple Beauty Makeup Remover 56ml
This is a generous sample. I love me some makeup remover. Useful,
travel friendly, and good for sensitive eyes? Perfect.
Mark Gloss Gorgeous Lip Stain in “Bella” 1.5g
(FULL SIZE)
This is a very flattering colour on me. It claims it is a
personalized colour, and I for one am inclined to agree. It has a minty smell
and is very shiny. It is a little sticky, but I expect that from a gloss. It has
a click end, to dispense the product through the brush applicator.
Nay for:
Garnier BB Cream 3x
1.5ml
I’ve heard glowing and bad reviews about this product. I’m
glad I get the chance to try it. But I’ll agree with what some people have said…
this leaves the skin really oily. Not my cup of tea. Better for those with dry
skin, I’m guessing.
Meh for:
Pari Precious Glow Eyeshadow Primer Intensifier No size listed on product
I have my selection of shadow primers, and this isn’t bad. It
works. It’s shimmery. It stays. In fact, I think it is too shimmery… and I understand
the appeal of a glow, but this is almost too shiny for daytime.
Overall Impression of June’s Box:
Where's that M. Asam product, hmmmm? |
Once again, I liked more than I disliked. It is a good
selection of products, and I’m glad most of them are makeup related. A lot of
people complained that most beauty products are skincare only… but this fits
the bill as being well-rounded.
