Enjoy Deluxe Samples of the Newest Beauty Products with Luxe Box-Giveaway

April 25, 2012 by Kathryn

I love trying brand-new beauty products but I really don’t have the budget to be able to buy every new cosmetic, perfume and body care product that comes out, as much as I would like to! That’s why the concept of the Luxe Box from Loose Button was so intriguing to me. The company launched in early 2011 and became a hit almost instantly by offering consumers a monthly subscription that delivered a box of the latest deluxe beauty samples to their door each and every month. I got the chance to review a March Edition Luxe Box and I was so excited to see what all the fuss was about.

The first thing I noticed when the box arrived was how absolutely stunning the presentation was. The sleek black box was so much fun to open and I was delighted to see the contents nestled in pretty tissue paper and the personalized card and seal that had been placed inside. There was even a unique seed card that could be planted to grow flowers!

The box contained J. R. Watkins Lavender Hand and Body Lotion, Cargo Glitter Top Coat, a Cargo Eye Shadow Single and three sample vials of perfume. I was excited to see that CK one Shock for Her was one of the samples; I used to be a huge fan of CK perfumes but I haven’t used one in ages. I unpacked my samples and headed to the bathroom to try them out.

The product I was most excited about was the Cargo Glitter Top Coat; I love glitz and glam so having a sparkling topcoat eyeliner for special occasions was thrilling. I wore the eyeliner to the Saskatchewan Publisher’s Guild spring reception and I loved the extra sparkle it added to my eyes. The waterproof formula was a little sticky when I first applied it but once it had dried it lasted all night and helped keep my eye makeup looking perfect.

The Cargo Eye Shadow Single was actually a double; it had two complementing colours in one sleek metal compact. It didn’t look nearly as fun as the glitter top coat initially but once I had tried it, I fell in love with the subtle colours. They were perfect for everyday use and the brown shade was the ideal colour for lining my lower lashes when I was creating a smoky eye look.

The J. R. Watkins Lavender Hand and Body Lotion was a favourite almost at once. I adore the scent of lavender and Watkins products are so effective and gentle. The natural oils in the organic formula left my hands so nice and soft. But what I was most excited to experiment with was the three different perfumes that I had received.

I tried out the Vera Wang Lovestruck perfume first. It was a rich floral scent that had a touch of appealing sweetness to it. I loved wearing it on the days when my husband and I had something romantic planned. The CK one Shock for Her was a much more playful and exciting scent. The blend of passion flower, blackberry and vanilla was fruity, fun and great for wearing every day. But the scent that I loved most was the one I tried last, the Mark Jacobs Oh, Lola! perfume. It was a stunning combination of pear, raspberry and magnolia blended with sandalwood and while it was a flirty and youthful fragrance I also found it to be very opulent. It was a perfume I could really see making my signature scent.

I had so much fun with my Loose Button Luxe Box. It was a great way to test out new products without spending a fortune buying full-sized items and it really gave me an idea about which perfumes and beauty products I might want to buy again. The Cargo Glitter Top Coat will be in my cosmetic bag permanently from now on and I’ll likely be getting a bottle of Mark Jacobs Oh, Lola! when my sample bottle is empty!
