May Luxe Box!

WARNING: This is long. I have a lot to ramble about.... !

This is a little late, as I actually received this last week, but I have been busy and better late than never, right?

First off, if you haven't heard of luxe box, it's basically birchbox but available to Canadians. It is eventually expanding to the US and International (I think?), but for now it's for Canadians. 

It was invite only for a couple of months, but as of tomorrow it will be open to the public, and as I know the prices will increase as well - since they sent an email saying that we should sign up for the 3 month system. 

But I digress, onto the packaging!

A card with the description of the products

From left to right:Hershey's Kiss (random but I ate it right away, lol. I can't resist chocolate!)
Dermalogica - Daily Exfoliant
Elizabeth Grant - Biocollasis Complex Day Serum
China Glaze Nail Polish  - Pink Underground
Consonant Body - Organic Olive Oil Body Soap

I actually haven't tried any of the products EXCEPT for the china glaze polish. This is my first china glaze polish, I have been searching for "For Audrey" for a long time, and the only place I ever see it is in Sally's Beauty Supply, and I only have ONE Sally's in my city, and it's always out. I actually have a base coat from china glaze, but honestly it works like any other base coat. But about pink underground, it is like a barbie pink. I was excited because I've never had such a bright pink polish! However I was disappointed, it streaked and took about 3 coats to become opaque. And even after 3 coats I still had to go over certain nails to even the colour out.

Overall I'm happy with these products. For $10.50 (including GST), not bad! Especially since the soap itself is the cost of the box alone. But I'm not really a soap person, so I can't say when I'll be using that up.
I'm interested in trying the serum and the exfoliant though! But those will be used after I finish up my current exfoliants.

Will I be signing up for others? Well I signed up for June (since it'll be my birthday month, I figured I might as well treat myself to something early!), but I'm hesitant about the rest of the months. I'm not sure if I want to commit to a monthly type of service JUST yet, especially since luxe box is becoming more popular, I'm afraid of seeing a decline in sizes and in a way they might become... "cheaper" with their products.
However if their prices increase, I probably will not continue with the service.

With that being said, probably will have a life update and more posts soon!
Stay tuned next month for my next luxe box! :)
