September Top Box Subscription Review

 I was beyond excited that Top Box opened up Canadian subscriptions, and that I was able to subscribe (they usually have a waitlist!). I had high expectations and I wasn't disappointed at all with my first box!

COVER FX Anti-Aging Primer

Size: 0.16 oz

Price: $38.00 for 1 oz (full size)

I've been on a search for a good primer and this stuff works wonderfully! I am so happy that I was able to try it out and know that it will work for me. It goes on very smooth and holds make up in place very well - I have noticed a difference both with the softness of my skin and on how much longer my make up seems to last through out the day!

 

Lise Watier HydraSmart 3D Hydration Tinted Veil

Size: .07 oz

Price: $35.00 for 1.35 oz (full size)

This is a VERY small sample, and I haven't tried it out.. I've heard good things about Lise Watier products and can't wait to try it though, just wish the sample size was a bit bigger!

 
Katy Perry 'Killer Queen' Eau de Parfum

Size: 0.05 oz

Price: $52.98 for 1.7 oz

This is actually a good size for a perfume sample, and such an expensive one at that! I normally don't wear perfume as I hate the smell, they are usually way too strong for my poor nose and head. But this one, I can actually stand and smells pretty good. It's strong, but not too strong. Definitely something that I wouldn't have bought and tried on my own.

Kérastase Paris Elixir Ultime Serum

Size: 0.1 oz

Price: $25 for 1.69 oz

Again, very small sample size.. would have liked a little bit more. I've used it twice and could maybe get another use out of the sample. It did wonders for my hair, though, and I just may have to buy the full size! I have very fine thin hair and this serum completely smoothed it out and made it super glossy!

Last, but certainly not least, was Redken Diamond Oil Shampoo and Conditioner samples. I was so excited to see these samples in here! My salon is a Redken salon and I adore their products, and these two were no exception. I have no retail price as they are only carried in salons, but I'm sure they aren't cheap! The samples were actually a pretty generous size on these two (1.7 oz on the Shampoo and 1 oz on the conditioner), which is great. I've used them twice so far and have definitely seen and felt and improvement in my hair.

I also received a special Chatelaine magazine that was printed specifically for Top Box, which was a nice addition as well.

Overall, I am impressed with the brands I received in my box, and really for $13 a month, you can't go wrong! If any of my Canadian friends wants an invitation to Top Box, I do have 3 to give away!
