December Luxe Box by Loose Button ~ #UNBOXING

Yeah!
Received my box full of goodies in the mail.
I couldn't wait to open my Luxe Box's Holiday Edition.
You can also read my September, October and November boxes here.


To see more photos - please watch my video

The package:
Yves Rocher: cream - full size 50mL @ $52 (on sale $28.50); sample 15mL @ $15.60 (on sale $8.58)
This cream smells wonderful.  I don't usually buy anything from Yves Rocher but this is a nice treat.
It is not too greasy and it is great for the winter when my skin gets really dry.

Moroccan Oil: Hairspray - full size 300mL @ $24; sample 75mL @ $6
This is to replace last month Moroccan Oil hair cream because it expired in March.  I don't use hair spray so I will most likely give it away.

Moroccan Oil: Shampoo - full size 240 mL @ $22; sample 70mL @ $6.42
This is an extra treat #1 because of the expired product they have given to us.  I can't wait to try it.

Moroccan Oil: Conditioner - full size 240 mL @ $21; sample 70mL @ $6.13
Extra treat #2 because of the expired product they have given to us.  Conditioners do not last long for me.  I have long hair so I hope I can get enough sample to try it for a few washes.

Nina Ricci: L'Air - full size 50 mL @ $72; sample 1.2mL @ $1.73
This smell so nice.  I believe this is more for a night on the town.  My husband thinks it smells like Christmas.  I think it smells like the forest/trees...so I guess that is why my husband thinks it smells like Christmas.

Nina Ricci: L'Elixir - full size 50 mL @ $65; sample 1.2mL @ $1.56
This has a fruitier smeller.  I think this is great during the day.  My husband like this one more.

NYX: eye pencil - full size 1 g @ $4 = sample - Yeah
Black is great.  It goes with everything.  I found NYX is very popular and in Canada you can only purchase it in selected drug store - usually in Rexall/Pharma Plus.  I am glad to get to try this because this is my first product by NYX.

Don't forget the limited edition chocolate coin with their logo on it.  That was gone in seconds.

So the total value of this month's box is $41+ (includes regular price Yves Rocher & last month product replacement.)

The Bottom Line
My experience with Luxe Box- 5/5
Product received - 4/5
The surprise - 5/5
Favourite product received - Moroccan Oil Shampoo & Conditioner

I enjoyed receiving and opening my box this month.  I get to try many new items I have never used before.  I am super happy to received it before Christmas.

Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays / Season's Greetings.

Virtual hugs!

Ta ta for now.

November Luxe Box Review

I was so happy to find my November Luxe Box yesterday afternoon.
I love surprises.

More information on Luxe Box by Loose Button click here.
It is a little late but as long it gets to me I am a happy person :P

So this is what I received:
Lise Watier - eye glitter liner
I can't wait to try this.  Just in time for the holidays.  I am going to a birthday party this weekend and I will be putting this on.

Pur Minerals - foundation primer
I know some people has already received this one in the previous box but I have always wanted to try a product by Pur Minerals so I can't wait.  One of my friends raves about Pur Minerals so I hope I will like it.

Moroccan Oil - styling cream
I am not sure what this is.  Cream for your hair?  Is it like styling gels or leave in conditioner for your hair?  It is nice and light.  So it is like a leave in conditioner.

Benefit Cosmetics - moisture prep toning lotion

A cool sample of Benefit Cosmetics.  I see this all the time when I go into Sephora but never sure if I should buy it.  I love the bottle.  It is so small and cute!  Don't throw it out once you are done.  You can re-use it or re-fill it and put it your purse/suitcase/gym bag/locker/nap sack, etc...

Teaopia - cactus fig tea
** The Bonus** I love tea.  I drink it every day.  I love Teaopia, especially the samples they give out in front of the store.  I love the smell.  My husband and I tried it.  We both enjoyed it.  I will use my 20% off coupon soon.  I also love the tin can.  Dont forget to re-use it!

The summary:
Lise Watier: eye glitter; full size - 6 ml @ $18, sample size 2.5 ml @ $7.50
Pur Mineral: primer - full size 30 ml @ $31, sample size 10 ml @ $10.33
Moroccan Oil: styling cream - full size 250 ml @ $32, sample size 75 ml @ $9.60
Benefit Cosmetics: toning lotion - full size 177.4 ml @ $29, sample size 8.9 ml @ $1.45
Teaopia: tea - full size 50g @ $7, sample size = full size = one happy momma
Grand total: $35+

Base on what I have read so far I think everyone will receive the Benefit toning lotion and the Teaopia sample.
Others will receive maybe a product by Lise Watier like a powdered eye shadow, Neiges perfume or plump gloss (I have received that last month).
Some will received a Body balm/Lip Treatment by Mereadesso, Poise Tint/Total Moisture Facial Cream by Benefit, Essie nail polish (last month's box), Dermalogica Skin Prep Scrub, or even E.L.F eye shadow.

As you can see, the list goes on and on.
So it is like a draw.  You will never know what you might received.  Your box will be either the same or totally different than others.

I am happy with my box.  I would have love to try the other items too since I have only received 4 items plus the bonus where as other received 5 samples plus the bonus.  Oh well, I like my box anyways.

I can't wait for my December box.  I wonder if they will do something exciting and special for Christmas.
Toodles!
