I received my first Topbox in the mail the other day and I am still smiling about it.

If you're not familiar with what Topbox is, it is a new monthly subscription service that costs $10 a month. In every box, you receive four deluxe beauty samples delivered directly to your door with free shipping! It's similar to Loose Button & Glymm but also differs in some aspects.






The first thing that I noticed that sets Topbox apart from other services is the packaging. Instead of a box inside a box, it's a cute unbranded, cylindrical tube wrapped in kraft paper.







The box (though technically it's not really a box) is very pretty. It's a sturdy paperboard with a simple print design. Topbox specifically made their boxes so that they're easily reusable (or recyclable).








Popping off the lid, the products are neatly placed inside covered with some tissue paper (plus it smells great). There's also a little card with a note from Topbox and a list of all the products with a brief description.

This month's Topbox, included four great brands: Cake, Deborah Lippmann, Dr. Brandt, and Stila. Also, there were two full-sized products!

1. Dr. Brandt - Eye Serum

I love Dr. Brandt products though I've never tried their eye serum. It has a nice consistency and is said to prevent lines around the eyes while providing hydration.

2. Stila - Lip Glaze
Although I already own this, I was still pleased to receive it in my Topbox. I cannot get enough of Stila lip glazes. They are moisturizing on the lips and they smell incredible. The color I received was in Raspberry and it smells so sweet. It's a bright glossy fuchsia color.

3. Cake - It's a Slice Velveteen Hand Creme (full size!)
Cake products smell delicious. This handcreme is no exception. It smells like sweet orange and vanilla. I love this hand creme because it's non-greasy and it's very nourishing on the hands.

4. Deborah Lippmann - Some Enchanted Evening (full size!)

Deborah Lippmann's polishes are renowned, especially their glitter polishes. Often they're used on the runways. I am quickly becoming obsessed with glitter polishes so I was very excited to see this in my Topbox. Some Enchanted Evening is a great polish; it has a clear base with two different kinds of pink glitter (large hexagon glitter and smaller, micro-glitter).


Bottom line..

Overall, I was very impressed with the quality of the products that I received in my Topbox! I'm so excited that I received two full-sized products (I mean, this box only costs $10 but the value is so much more)!  I love how there are no hidden fees: $10 a month, free shipping, great products, luxurious packaging.

With every service like this, there is a chance (especially if you're an avid makeup collector) that you will receive a product you already own. Nonetheless, it's still a great way to try new products in a convenient way.

I would highly recommend Topbox to anyone and everyone (even if you're already subscribed to another service). Also, Topbox is definitely one to consider if you weren't happy with Luxe Box or Glymm box. They have good customer service, timely shipping, great brands, and super cute packaging. Topbox is still fairly new (they just launched last month) but so far they've exceded all my expectations!

I can't wait to see what future boxes will carry!

Definitely check out their website at topbox.ca to get yours today! Hurry up before December boxes sell out!








On another note...

I love the idea of Topbox's reusable packaging. I used it for some brushes.



What would you do with yours?
