February Topbox: Benefit CNY Prive Box!!


I got my Top Box yesterday, and low and behold, it was the Benefit Prive box!! While I was kind of hoping for the Miracle 10 Prive box, I’m not going to complain.

For those that don’t know what I’m talking about, Topbox is a monthly beauty box subscription that sends you about 4 to 5 beauty samples each month. It costs $12/month +tax. They recently introduced the Prive box, which is a box that features one particular brand. Each month, you can opt for that or a normal Topbox. The choice is yours.

This month, there were three different Prive Box choices. The most popular choice of the three was Benefit. The other two were Lippy Girl and Miracle 10, which also gives you the option of different content as well.


I was at work when I checked my tracking. It indicated that an attempt was made to deliver but no one was home so I had to pick it up at the local post office. I had thought they would safe drop, but that wasn’t the case. I went to pick it up after work even though the pickup notification said it wouldn’t be available till the following day at 1 PM. I was going to make up any excuse necessary to get my box then and there. I ended up not needing to because it was processed and ready to go!


The first thing I did when I got home was open it up. The box was gorgeous with a Chinese New Year Theme. I was really happy to get the benefit box because not only am I Asian and celebrates CNY, but I am also Year of the Snake!!


Opening up the box, you can see that it is jammed pack with goodies.


After taking out everything in the box, I was overall happy with everything in the box.  Inside the box was a 2.5 mL sample of Benetint, a 7.5 mL sample of POREfessional, an 8.9 g sample of Total Moisture Facial Cream, a Paper sample of Fine One-One wrapped inside of a traditional Red Pocket Envelope, an invitation to an exclusive event and Dandelion gloss and powder.


The POREfessional was my favorite in the box. I am never happy with my pores. They just appear so huge **I know, first world problems** and I’ve heard rave reviews on this product, so I am VERY excited to try this out.


I already have a small packet sample of the total moisture facial cream from an order I placed with Sephora last month, but I just love the packaging that this total moisture facial cream came in. It is literally a mini glass jar.

 

Not sure how or when I’ll get a chance to use the Benetint, I might give it away since it’s not the type of product I normally use, but it is interesting.


I was 50/50 with the Dandelion duo pack. I was happy with the Dandelion powder because it was something I needed, but I hate lip gloss. I guess it’s because I’m not used to using lip products. So I think it’s going into the trade pile.


The paper sample of Fine One-One is an interesting one. I’ve never seen anything like it. Personally, I think its stupid, since its only one use. But, then again, the other samples more than made up for it.


 Last but not least, there was an invitation for to an exclusive event to celebrate New Year. There were five locations listed and 2 of them were in lower mainland!!! I’m so happy that they listened and are hosting these events across the country now. One of the location is actually 5 min from my work place!! I can’t wait to go. There's suppose to be “Prizes and Gifts Galore!!”




There you have it. I think I saw someone post online that the value of this box turned out to be around $48~~ Considering I paid 13.44 for this, I am super happy with what I got.
