1. Bliss Triple Oxygen Radiant Protection Energizing Serum

I’m really excited about this product because it claims to protect against environmental agressors. I wasn’t sure what this did at first, but luckily Tobpox did include a leaflet with information on this product. Living in the city I feel that I’m exposed to a lot of pollution and toxins, so anything that can help clear my skin of that is much welcome. Full Size Price: $27.00 (27mL), Sample Price: $5.00 (5mL)

2. Model Co Shine Ultra Lip Gloss

I’m not really in love with this lip gloss colour because it has really large sparkles, and I’m not into sparkles. I have Model Co products from previous boxes and I feel they just send the least purchased colours to be given out as samples (or maybe I’m just unlucky in receiving colours I don’t really like). Either way, this is not really for me, but I can think of a few people who may like it. Too bad, I LOVE that there is a mirror on the side to make for easy application. Full Size Price: $20.00, this is a full size product.

3. Ceramic Glaze Nail Lacquer in Mermaid’s Tale

I’m not sure if this product has the same formula as China Glaze, but the colour is a very pretty blue. I’m not very big on wearing nail polish except on my toes so I don’t always get excited about nail polish, but I do want try this one out. Full Size Price: $11.00, this is a full size product.

4. B. Kamins Laboratories Bio-Maple Body Lotion

This product smells like baby powder which I love because it’s very comforting. My only issue with this sample is that it is so small! It’s a body moisturizer but there is hardly enought product to use on my body. I would like to be able to test a product 2 or 3 times before I can make a decision on whether I purchase it. Full Size Price: $41.00 (180mL), Sample Price: $1.55 (6.8mL).

5. BONUS! TRESemme Expert Selection Perfectly (un)done waves

I love bonus products! Although I’m not into salt sprays, for some reason I really liked this sea kalp mousse. This helps create waves with the use of a curling iron. I tried this the other day and really like that it doesn’t make my hair feel dry like the sprays do, I also like the easy, beacky look I achieved with this product. Full Size Price: $9.99 (150mL), Sample Price: $2.99 (45mL)

My Thoughts

Although I’ve received Topbox’s that I have been more excited about in previous months, this month is not bad. I feel receiving full size products is great, I just wish it would have been products I liked. Total Value of my samples is $40.54.
