January Luxe Box!

Wow Loose Button really outdid them selves this month!  Their boxes got out a bit late this month but they notified all the customers of this and express posted them.  I got mine on Monday the 30th and it totally made my Monday - it was well worth the wait!  I was quite confused when I got the package because because it was a lot larger than the previous.  And here's why...there were 2 boxes!



So the white box was what Loose Button called "Complimentary Bath and Body Box." It contained;

Schick Hydro Silk Razor:  It's a 5 blade razor in a nice blue colour.  It also came with a coupon for $4.00 off any refills and $0.55 off shaving cream.  The value of the razor itself is $13.00.  This is one item I will definitely use.


Fekkai Advanced Brilliant Glossing Shampoo and Conditioner: Each one is a 9mL sample so not a deluxe size but its a bonus none the less.  I haven't tried them yet but they contain olive oil and I love olive oil conditioners so can't wait to try it out.
And now for the actual Luxe Box. I was a little worried to see what I was going to get because I didn't get to my e-mail on time to select a "First in Line" option - which really had me down since two of the products were by benefit and I really would have liked to try them.  But surprisingly I still got a nice box!  It included;
Pur Minerals; 4-in-1 foundation in Light (full size).  Its a foundation, powder, concealer and has SPF 15. I was a little surprised to see this since I feel that foundation is a tricky product to get right at the best of times.  While it is a bit dark for my skin tone I'm optimistic that it will work in the summer when I get a bit more colour. Value $31.

Olay Regenerist; Wrinkle revolution complex (7mL). Its basically supposed to reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles. It has a really nice scent and goes on smoothly.  I just got it so can't comment on its efficacy as of yet. While it seems like a small sample the full size is only 15mL and worth $60!


NYX; Mega shine lip gloss in Cosmo (full size). This cherry scented super sparkly bronzy pink gloss is not something I would ever buy.  However, it goes on a lot lighter than it looks and is actually very flattering. Value $8.

Loose Button; My scent. I was selected to provide commentary on 6 different scents, so here they are.
Prada Candy - I love this it is sweet like candy/caramel but also a bit musky.
Prada Infusion D'Iris - Not a fan of this it smells like orange iris - ick.
Nina Ricci L'air du Temps - A complex fragrance, very floral and fruity - smells very peachy to me.
Nina Ricci Nina - A nice very light citrus apple scent.
Paco Rabanne Black XS for her - I love this one too - its a spicy yet sweet scent.
Lady Million - I like this one too - very sweet and fruity smelling.
* I had already received the two Prada fragrances - but since I loved the candy and got to try a few more along with it was pleased.

Seattle's Best Coffee (Bonus); Level 3.  A bit random but I enjoy a good cup of coffee so can't wait to try it.

All in all I was very happy with this months Luxe Box. With a value of over $80 how could I not be!  I have read quite a few people that are upset that they got this not that etc, and of course there will always be something you may want but didn't get - however I am still very happy about my box.  I love surprises and will continue to support Loose Button!
