BzzzAgent: Crest Pro-Health Bzzz Campaign

I was chosen for another Bzzz Campaign! Yay! this time it's for Crest Pro-Health. Here is what was inside of my BzzzKit!

Inside were the following:

Oral-B Pro-Health Toothbrush with Cross-Action Bristles 

Crest Pro-Health ProFresh Toothpaste

Crest Pro-Health Muti-Protection Mouthwash 

I'm always looking for ways to keep my teeth cleaner and whiter, so I am very excited to try these products! This BzzzKit was a bit different than other that I have received, because it actually cost $1. Still a great deal though!

July TopBox: GLAMGLOW Prive Box

My July Topbox came! A bit late, but great none the less! This month I opted for the Glam Glow Prive Box and I was so happy to receive it! Here's what was inside:

• 2.1mL of the Supermud Clearing Treatment = $4.03
• 15g of the Youthmud Tinglexfoliate Treatment = $21.00
• $10 gift card for Well.ca

             TOTAL VALUE: $35.03!!

This month's value was awesome! I love that I received a high end product and am really looking forward to using it! I am torn with my choices for next month's Topbox. This box is an option again, minus the $10 gift card for Well.ca....I think I'll try it out and go from there!

Summer Luxe Box 2013

My Summer Luxe Box came yesterday! This season there were a number of upgrades that you could choose from, but I decided to go with the regular Luxe Box and am very happy that I did! Here is what I got!

• 4 Knotties = $8.00
• A 7mL sample of Donna Karan Woman eau de parfum = $14.70
• A 3mL sample of Kerastase Elixir Ultime = $1.30
• A FULL SIZE Olay Total effects 7 in One CC Anti-Aging Cream with SPF 15 = $22.99
• A 3.5mL sample of Clinique High Impact Mascara in Black = $8.31
• A 3ml sample of Vichy Liftactiv Serum 10 for eyes & Lashes = $9.00
• A FULL SIZE (60mL) of Barefoot Venus Coconut Kiss Macadamia Oil Hand Cream = $5.99
• A Loose Button Foundation Brush = UNKNOWN VALUE

TOTAL VALUE: $70.29+

Overall, I was very impressed! The Knotties are very similar to the ones that i received from Julep and I do like them. I'm not a huge fan of perfume samples and this one is okay...at least it's a nice size and a pretty good scent. I love the Kerastase products! I think I have received one in each of my past Luxe Boxes. I love this sample size too, great for travel! The Olay product is new and hasn't even launched in Canada yet, it's pretty awesome to be one of the first Canadians to try it out, & it's FULL SIZE! Well done, Luxe Box! I'm always a fan of mascara samples. I find that I can actually use the sample sizes up before their 6 month expiration, and have never tried the Clinique mascara before. Also, definitely a fan that the sample came in black! The Vichy product is kind of "blah" for me...it's okay, I'll use it, but not something that I would ever look to buy. I LOVE the scent of the Barefoot Venus Cream. I just want to eat it! I have never heard of this brand and really want to try more of their products! Seriously, it smells SOOOOOO good! The foundation brush is another "blah" product. It's nice to have, but I prefer my beauty blender.

A great box! I do really like Luxe Box and now comes decision time! My annual subscription is up! To re-subscribe or not to re-subscribe - that is the question!

Michael Todd Eye O Sonic

I saw this product on living social and couldn't pass it up! I first heard of Michael Todd products through Top Box. I received one of their exfoliating scrub samples and fell in love with the brand! The texture was perfect and the scent was heavenly! This gave me the itch to buy more from this company. When I say the Eye O Sonic on living social I tried to do some research and really didn't find much of interest, so I caved in and bought it to discover for myself! I used a promo code and this only ended up costing me $18 + $5.95 for shipping. Not bad for something that was regular $107.00!

I have very sensitive skin and was a bit worried, but this cream did not break me out! I have already noticed a difference in my eye area. The skin around my eyes is much more hydrated and my sun lines are becoming less noticeable. This product is so easy to use and definitely doesn't make putting on eye cream more of a hassle or more time consuming...instead it makes it easier and it feels really nice. The vibrations of the Eye o Sonic are quite subtle and relaxing. I would definitely recommend this product!

Julep Warehouse Sale

Juelp had an amazing warehouse sale, so of course after skipping the last few months, I splurged! Here are my goodies!

I ordered the following:

• Feet 101 - $6.00 (The Best Pedi Prep Ever, Kylie, Toe Separators, Foot File)
• Glow On Age Defying Hand Brightener - $ 5.00
• Emeral Druzy Neckalce - $3.00
• Smoky Grey Jeweled Necklace - $5.00
• Exclusive Make-Up Bag - $5.00
• Grapefruit Galore - $6.00 (Grapefruit Body Scrub, Grapefruit Body Frosting, Exfoliating Mitt)
• Sun Kissed Skincare Set - $5.00 (Daylight Defense SPF 30 Face & Hand Cream & SPF 15 Lip Balm)
• Hand & Cuticle Stick - $5.00

My total came to $40.00. I did order the Hand & Cuticle Stick separately and am still waiting on that package. I did not received the Grapefruit Body Frosting in my package, so I'm hoping that it comes with my Hand & Cuticle Stick. I have already contacted customer service though and am waiting on their reply. What a great haul for $40! I really am more fond of Julep's products than their polish, don't get me wrong I love their colours, but I'm a bit on polish overload right now! 

Did you buy anything from the warehouse sale?

Jewel Mint 3 Piece Mystery Box!

I had a credit left in my Jewel Mint account and have been waiting for a mystery box to use it! I got a 3-piece mystery box and here is what was inside!

I was very happy to have received a nice variety! One chunky necklace....that I definitely wouldn't pick out for myself, but will probably wear. A set of two two-tone bracelets which are very wearable, but seem to be cheap quality and a pair of earrings that I'm not overly fond of. All in all the mystery drew me in and I did get my money's worth. After all, 3 pieces are better than 1, right?

June Topbox 2013

I received my Topbox earlier this week and was quite pleased with the contents. Not jaw dropping, but definitely not a disappointment either! Here is what I received:

Belvada Mini Eyelash Curler - $ 5.99

Benefit Sugarbomb Ultra Plush Lip Gloss -$8.23

Jelly Pong Pong Fairy Lahses Mascara - $24.00

Pari Colour Cubes in Colours #12 & 17 - $12.00

TOTAL VALUE: $50.22!!

Canadian Wantable Make-Up Box

I received my Wantable Make-Up Box today! They have just introduced this subscription to Canada and we giving away some free boxes to Canadians...well almost free! I just had to pay the shipping, which came to about $16...but it would have cost me about $52. Anyways, here is what was in my box!

• Three Custom Color Brow Powder in color #3 ~ $22.50
• Manna Kadar Blush in Orgasmic ~ $19.00
• FACE Stockholm Pearl Eyeshadow #41 ~ $19.00
• Bésame Cosmetics Lipstick in Carmine ~ $22.00
• Frownies ~ $0

TOTAL VALUE: $ 82.50

I'm not crazy about this box. It was nicely packaged and very suited to my tastes, but I haven't heard of any of these brands and they're kind of boring products, but good staples to have I suppose. The product that i am most please with is the Lipstick. It has beautiful packaging, a lovely scent and it a really nice colour. The blush has a nice, subtle shimmer to it and the brow powder is nice too, but I am a bit nervous that it may be too dark for me! The eye shadow is kind of boring, I don't think I'll be using it. Overall a great box! But I won't be continuing with this subscription as it is too expensive.

May TopBox 2013

My May TopBox came last week and I'm not crazy about this box, but not totally disappointed either. I guess it was just kind of "meh". Anyways, here what was in my box:

• FULL SIZE Cuccio Nail Lacquer in Longing for London ~ $10
• A 1.5mL Sample of Lise Watier Haute Coloeur High Coverage Lip Lacquer in Stylista ~ $5.75
• A Yaby Eyesahdow Refill in Copper Wire ~ $3.15
• A 30mL Sample of Roberto Cavalli Perfumed Shower Gel ~ $42

TOTAL VALUE: $60.90

A good value, however the most valuable product is something that I'm not happy with. I received the same perfume sample a few months ago in a TopBox and hated it. I ended up giving it to my mom when she went down south to leave for the maids. This is something else that I will be trying to get rid of. Definitely not my taste. The nail colour is nice, but honestly because of Julep I am kind of over getting nail polish in these boxes. I have too many as it is and need to use them up! The Yaby doesn't excite me either. The colour is okay, but I don;t have a Z-palette and don't care much for loose shadow pots. The only product that I am happy to receive is the Lise Watier lip colour. It's really pretty, not sticky and a colour that I don't presently have and that will be great for summer!

Overall, I'm not overly impressed, I'll see how next month goes. If I continue to be unsatisfied, I think that I'll unsubscribe.

April 2013 Empties: Product Reviews

This month, I finished a lot of products!

1. Simple Eye Make-Up Remover

I received this as a free sample and actually really liked it. It didn't irritate my skin or eyes at all. It lasted quite a while, a little goes a long way! I might repurchase this after I use up the rest of my eye make-up removers.

2. Lancome La vie est belle Eau de parfum 

I received this as a free sample and fell IN LOVE with this scent! I have actually already purchased the full sized version of this. It smells SOOOO good!

3. Julep Pink Grapefruit Body Frosting

This smells so good and the consistency is amazing! It is nice and thick and lasted me quite a while. I will be repurchasing this for next winter.

4. Julep Age Defying Hand Brightener

This has been a miracle cream for me! I have severe eczema and this made my hands SOOO smooth! It was amazing! I will be repurchasing this for next winter.

5. L'Oreal Mythic Oil

I received these samples in my TopBox. They were pretty good, they didn't weigh down my hair and left it quite shiny. I might repurchase this when my other hair oils run out.

6. Kerastase Cristalliste

I received this hair oil in one of my Luxe Boxes. It also didn't weigh my hair down and left my hair looking shiny. I did prefer the mythic oil to this oil.

7. Moroccan Oil Light

This small bottle lasted me months! It left my hair shiny and tangle free but I did find that it weighed my hair down (even though I purchased the light version!) I may or may not repurchase this product.

8. Yes to cucumbers Hypoallergenic Facial  Towelettes

These had a mild scent, but left my face feeling clean and refreshed. They didn't remove make-up easily, but did an okay job. I probably won't be repurchasing these.
