June Topbox

 
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.
