and so, it happened again near the end of July while i was away for my boyfriend's sister's wedding. right after the wishlist closed, i emailed Topbox and asked if they could put me down for the Benefit box.
a rep emailed me back, saying that she would put my request in!
unfortunately, the request fell through and another regular, boring Topbox arrived in my mailbox August 19th.
1) Barefoot Venus : Macadamia Oil Hand Cream in "Wild Flower"
size: 60 mL
retail value: $5.99 [full size!]
i love the pretty details on the packaging of the hand cream. the cream itself is also quite lovely. smells great and is not overpowering. my skin feels lovely and soft afterwards. it's made in Kelowna - i was just there in July!
2) Pur~Lisse : Pur-Protect Essential Daily Moisturizer SPF 30 Sunscreen
size: 15 mL
retail value: $55 (50 mL)
i just received this in the ipsy July bag - and i am still working through that one. i like how it is non-greasy and actually feels light on the skin. great size to throw in your bag and reapply throughout the day. today, Calgarians experienced our first snow after the summer season. up to 10 cm one day after we floated down the Bow River, enjoying 26 degree weather. so we will probably not see much sun for quite some time...aghhhhhhh! no fair! we can't just skip over autumn entirely! :(
3) Lise Watier : Prebiotic Micellar Water
size: 12 mL
retail value: $25 (200 mL)
prebiotic micellar water... such a fancy-sounding name. this the very FIRST prebiotic micellar water -simply because everyone else calls it 'toner'. prebiotic refers to sugar molecules that "stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria" - sounds like yogurt to me.
just like you would with a toner, you use this product with a cotton ball and dab it on your face. it doesn't sting a whole lot like some toners so that's why this is ideal for sensitive skin.

4) Matrix : Oil Wonders in "Egyptian Hibiscus Color Caring Oil"
size: 5 mL x 3 = 15 mL
retail value: $22.99
seriously... i thought we were past the whole one-use satchet thing.
other than that, i've discovered i enjoy the scent of hibiscuses. you only need a tiny dab of this product or else it sort of weighs your hair down.
i've been using hair oils for a while now... after coming back from the hot and humid Florida weather, i noticed that when i curled the ends of my hair into a ball, it goes crunch.
crunch is not a nice sound for hair to make.
i have to admit that although this was an uninteresting box, i will be eventually using all of these items. still wish i had the Benefit box though!
