February LuxeBox

Sorry for the picture quality, I definitely need a new camera….

This month I was happy to see something from Benefit, stuff for my face, and that there were more shampoo samples! I’m not a die-hard perfume girl, but the CK Shock actually smells really nice. And as it’s a sample that’s usable, I’m more than happy to try it out.

Benefit SunBeam. Bronze illuminator for cheek and brow bones (or where ever else). I’m a diehard user of Benefit’s High Beam, but I think I might dabble with this every now and then. It’s not as bronze as one would think, and still goes on and disappears into the skin really nicely. It just leaves a hint of gold/bronze sparkles to give it the sun-kissed effect. Would probably look really nice with a bronzer.

Redken Color-Extend Shampoo and Conditioner. Like I said, I really like that they gave us more samples of this. I would have loved to try the Frederic Fekkai shampoo at least one more time. I used both the shampoo and conditioner and it smells so good. Reminds me of this candy… that’s nostaligic! I’ll have to use it again to really know, but it seems really nice, and actually works to remove the tangles from my coloured hair.

This, I was very excited about. I was just thinking to myself the day that this came that I needed to exfoliate my face. And lo and behold, an exfoliater. I wish that this product was waaaay cheaper… full size is something like $70? Crazy, but I really like this. It’s micro, so it’s a really nice paste, and doesn’t feel like it’s gouging the crap outta your skin in order to do a good job. My skin feels sooo good after washing, and with cream it’s so smooth. I like that it’s gentle enough for every day use. It’s a good size sample too. I like to be able to use things more than once!

I haven’t used this yet, but it has a really nice, sweet smell that’s not overpoweringly floral. Which is good. I might have to try this one out at work.. one day this week. I’m always up for something new!

Haha, it was funny. Loose Button accidentally sent me two of this month’s box, so it’s a good thing that I enjoyed it! Hopefully they didn’t charge me twice, at is was their mistake. I’ll have to keep my eye out on my next statement!
