My Blog Spot: Loose Button

February Luxe Box Flare Edition

12:15 AM

For February Loose Button collaborated with Flare Magazine and kind of has a Valentines day feel to their box. I was surprised when I opened the package and it was red! I enjoy when a company switches it up once in a while for something a little different.

The same nice personal touch,as well the tissue paper even has flare printed on it.

JOICO K-PAK REVITALUXE

Full Size Product $27 150ML

With each application,hair instantly becomes stronger,softer,more moisturized with improved elasticity. Blend of Bio-Mimetic Peptides, Keratin Amino Acids,Jojoba Oil and Aloe Extract.

First Impression: Sounds perfect! I was happy about this sample in the box.

DKNY PUREDKNY VERBENA

Full Size Product $80 50ML

$105 100 ML

The hybrid note which makes up pureDKNY Verbena, Verbena-Basil, as the species is known,is a delicate plant. Although an herb, it has a sparkling citrus,lemon like quality. The fragrance has been crafted to accentuate the freshness of this raw material, balanced within a sophisticated light floral structure and supported with natural depth. The end result is a sparkling, wet fresh scent which personifies the pureDKNY brand.

First Impression: After reading about the scent it really didn't sound like anything I would like... but it actually smells pretty nice, its fairly light but it isn't something I would buy.

MEREADESSO BEAUTIFUL BODY BALM

Full Size Prodcut $54 200ML

A high performance,non greasy all over body balm, hand moisturizer and foot cream for men and women if all ages and skin types.

Beautiful Body Balm will bring out your inner glow,improve your skin's texture and enhance elasticity -leaving your body with a smooth,silky finish.The sumptuous lotion spreads easily,absorbs quickly and won't transfer onto your clothes,while the refreshing scent dissipates so as not to compete with your own signature fragrance.

First Impression:For some reason this smells like wine gums or some kind of candy but it's not sweet. That probably makes no sense but I like the smell! It absorbs quickly and seems fairly nice.

LISE WATIER 24 HOURS GLAM MASCARA

Full Size Product $22

It's elastic polymer formula and FlexiQueen brush surround each lash with a 3D waterproof film to create an infinitely glamorous look that lasts all day, and all night for an astonishing 24 smudge free,waterproof,sweatproof,humidity proof for hours.

This mascara does the work for you so you can focus on your night out!

First Impression: I loved the packaging! So cute, and then I opened the tube and saw the plastic brush and my hopes didn't stay high. I will give this a shot but i already have doubts since I don't like those brushes but maybe this will surprise me?

MEREADESSO FACE + NECK TONING GEL

Beautiful skin shouldn't just be easy,it should be effortless. That's why I created Mereadesso face + Neck Toning Gel, a one step skin care solution.

It's easy to apply,quick to absorb, and perfect for any skin type. Best of all, the longer you use it the less you need it.

With over 40 botanical extracts,minerals and antioxidants packed into one effective gel, you're sure to see a difference in just 3-5 days.

First Impression: I believe this is my 3rd sample, and sadly I wasn't all that impressed with it. I certainly would never purchase.

I was fairly happy with this month's box but it wasn't anything super exciting.

I have heard a few Twitter& Youtubers who weren't really happy with this month's box, I am. I like skin care products and perfume, and shadow and mascara and lip gloss lol so I guess I am usually pretty happy. I know it can't be perfect every month but it's really quite fun when you do get this little gift every month!

October Luxe Box!

1:00 AM

I got my Luxe Box FINALLY =D

For anyone just reading this and haven't heard about Loose Button's Luxe box they are a monthly subscription you sign up for and receive 4-5 deluxe beauty samples. You can check out their web site for more information HERE.

October was a little bit different if you were a previous Luxe Box subscriber, when I opened my mail box and saw the package I actually thought hmm what is this?? Then I read the shipping address and realized it was my Luxe Box. It has definitely been redesigned!

I am such a detail oriented person when it really comes down to things I really like or care about and I was very surprised how much effort they put into this month as well as the new design.

Please excuse the broken tissue paper I was too excited to take my pictures before I dug into this!

I was so shocked that they had my name printed on the info card as well as on the sticker! It made everything so personal and made me feel like I was more then just another box. It was a cute idea!(My name is actually spelt Tegan but I spell it Taygan normally). The inside of the box was really cute as well with the black and white little Loose Button logos with the black squiggly paper!

I must say this is my favorite look to any of the boxes, I love black and white together it is very modern and it always looks great.

I adore the new information card or whatever you want to call it. Again the black and white I really like, it looks fancy but nice and clean and easy to read. I did like the picture beside the info though like they used to have but I don't really think with this kind of lay out you would be able to fit everything in.

Wow, the shipping this month was awesome!! I was sent the email for my confirmation on Monday the 15th and the estimated delivery date was to be the 19th-usually it's at least 1 week. It was the 17th when it arrive! =D Made my very very long not so wonderful Wednesday a lot better!

I liked the black tissue paper this month!

Cheeky Monkey|Pearl Necklace-$15

I love the packaging for this! The color is pretty but it isn't really a color I would use. I like the more bright or even dark colors then just white =/ but it is still really nice!

Lip Plumping Treatment|City Lips by City Cosmetics-$35

I just put this on and I really like it! I has a slight sticky feeling, and tingly but it is glossy =)

Proclaim|Cocoa Butter Hand & Body Lotion-$8.00

Very Chocolate smelling lotion!

Calvin Klein|Forbidden Euphoria Fragrance-$78&$102

I Love this scent! I wasn't totally in love with other Euphoria fragrances by Calvin Klein but this one is really nice. This small size is perfect for your bag. This is a roller ball bottle as well,easy to apply and the scent is strong enough to notice but not too intense to make you feel ill!

Now I don't know if everyone got this in theirs, or if it is just for the people who have yearly subscriptions but it was perfect since I just got my ears repierced!
