January 2013 Privé Topbox
Oh Hai, my Topbox
finally showed up. Yayyyy
So you’re probably
bored of seeing the same post since we all got virtually the same products. But
in case you are out of the loop or just want to see what I got, keeping readingJ.
This month, Topbox
sent out a Privé box to everyone. A Privé box is different from the regular subscription
as it is all one brand exclusively. The price is still the same; $12/mth.
January’s Privé Topbox was Clinique. I
like Clinique. It was one of the first brands my mom introduced me to when I
was a teenager. She would get herself something and then get me the gift with
purchase set. Back then ,you get the mini version of the 3 step program; bar of
soap in its little dish, toner, moisturizer. Ah the memories….

Clarifying Lotion
(2) deluxe sample
Full size $16/200ml
$27/400mlThis is for dry/combo skin which is probably a good choice since most of us have some sort of issue right now with dry skin due to the colder weather. I use this like a toner by putting some on a cotton pad and swiping over my face to remove excess junk after washing my face. It is one of the better toners that I have tried.
Rinse Off Eye
Makeup Solvent deluxe sample
Full size:
$25/125mlOil-free, blur-free, sting-free; my kind of eye makeup remover. This is actually a good remover. I have used it before. Since I have started receiving subscription boxes I have not had to purchase eye makeup remover.
Colour Sure Eye
Shadow Duo full size
Full size: $25/2.5gThe colour duo I received was Strawberry Fudge, very lovely - perfect for Valentine’s Day or just a sweet everyday look.
Repairwear Laser
Focus Wrinkle $ UV Damage Corrector deluxe sample
Full size: $57/30ml
$86/50mlIt states at 12 weeks the visible –reducing power is remarkably close to a laser procedure (63%). For the price, I hope it works miracles! I have a couple 11’s happening on my forehead I would like to try this on.
Here is how
Clinique says to use it:
· Apply 3 to 4 drops twice a day to face and
around eyes. For all Skin Types. Partner with any of Clinique's de-aging
solutions
· For increased prevention against the effects of
stress, sun and pollution, add Superdefense SPF 25 and Super Rescue.
· For intense visible repair, add Youth Surge SPF
15 and Youth Surge Night.
About a week ago,, we Topboxers received an email asking for us to create a wishlist for the February Privé boxes we were interested in: the two brands I can remember were Benefit and Lippy girl. There was another option but I can’t remember what it was.
Email excerpt:
Here's
how you can try to swap your February Topbox for a Privé Box:
1.
Create a WISH LIST for the Privé Boxes you are interested
in. You can 'wish' for as many Privé Boxes as you want, and it won't
affect your chances of getting a certain Privé Box.
2.
Topbox will randomly select the recipients of each Privé Box
based on all Wish Lists.
3.
Your Topbox will arrive as a surprise in the first week of
February. Due to limited quantities, not all members will receive a Privé
Box. If you do not receive a Privé Box, you will receive the February
Topbox
I am not sure how
well it will go over if it is a random selection as to who gets the Privé box. But time will tell I
guess.
So there you have
it, the first Privé Topbox. Clinique was a great brand to start with….now
fingers crossed that I get Benefit next month!!!!

Hmmm...my #2 came in a clear bottle and is liquid even though it says lotion... :S Now I'm super confused if I got the wrong product in the wrong bottle..?!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how Clinique was one of the first brands all us girls remember trying. I got my first lipstick from a GWP when I was 14 from an aunt who bought all of their skincare stuff. The lipstick was like a "here you go kid. Take care of that" type gift and I agree that Clinique was my only department store brand of makeup until I was 20. Memories!
ReplyDeleteIt is funny that we all remember that! I used the 3 step program for years. I remeber being so excited getting an eyeshadow duo from my mom when I was 15. It was light pink and a rose. I thought I was so sophisticated LOL
