Pink Petals

I wasn't sure if I was getting a box this month because I unsubscribed in January and didn't know when they charged for the next box. I received some emails regarding shipping but still haven't even received the tracking information for this box. I went to get the mail anyways and there it was! Here's what I got in this month's Luxe Box.
 Bourjois | Healthy Mix Serum Gel Foundation (53-Light Beige)
Full size: 30 ml ($27)
Sample: 3 x 0.95 ml ($2.56)
 Pandora's Makeup Box | Mascara (Black)
Full size: 10 ml ($19)
Sample: FULL SIZE
 Coach | Coach Love
Full size: 1.7 oz ($72)
Sample: 0.22 oz ($9.32)
Loose Button | Sponge Applicator
Estimated Value: $5
 Lancome | Genifique You Activating Concentrate
Full size: 1 oz ($95)
Sample: 0.27 oz ($25.65)
 KMS California | Free Shape Quick Blowdry
Full size: 6.8 oz ($18)
Sample: 1 oz ($2.65)
L'Occitane en Provence | Shea Butter Hand Cream
Full size: 30 ml ($12) 
Sample: 10 ml ($4)

Total Value: $68.18

Gahh. After seeing some other Luxe Boxes that subscribers received this month, I was so hoping that I didn't pay for this one. Too bad I did, I'm so disappointed. The only things I like in this box are the mascara and the perfume. I really really REALLY hate anti-aging serums and creams, which happened to be the one thing that was most valuable in this box. You may be wondering why I only gave the sponge a value of $5, it's because I ordered a 'beauty blender' style sponge on eBay for $2 and I can't tell the difference between the two. *Sigh* I feel like beauty boxes are quickly going downhill, boo :(.

Which beauty box was your favourite this month?

Last week, Pink Beryl emailed Loose Button past and present subscribers and offered a free pair of stockings for 24 hours. I jumped on the chance and was amazed that when they meant free, they literally meant free! No shipping charges or additional monthly purchases needed. For those who don't know, Pink Beryl is a monthly subscription for stockings where you can choose 1 pair a month ($12) or 2 pairs a month ($20). To determine your style, you take a quiz when you sign up, but don't fret if it doesn't match you because you always have the option to choose from a list of styles :). 
At first, I thought that $12 for a pair of stockings was kind of pricey because I always buy the cheaper kind since I'm so accident prone and end up tearing all my stockings. However, after getting my first order from Pink Beryl, I might subscribe when I start making money again because these stockings are AMAZING! When I opened the package, I was surprised to see that there were clear and black rhinestones on the stockings. The picture of Olivia that Pink Beryl had seemed like it just had random white dots. They're not too thin and not too thick and don't seem like they're going to rip on my any time soon. I really like these tights and think they're so much cuter more unique than the plain ol' black stockings.

Have you tried Pink Beryl before? If you're interested, please use my referral link here, please and thank you! :)

BONUS: 6 month subscription to FLARE

Total Value: $112.47

I feel like I miscalculated the cost of the box because it's way too high! Let me know if I did. I didn't quite like this box because a lot of the products are ones I wouldn't use. I got 2 eye care products for dark circles and bags but I don't have an issue with that. My favourite product in this box is the kabuki brush because I've been meaning to get another one but keep forgetting, so yay for brushes! I also liked the 6 month subscription to Flare. I actually didn't know until now so when I got the Flare magazine this month I thought I had won it somehow :P. What do you think of the magazine subscription?

This month's box was a special for mother's day and came with a bath and body box as a bonus! Here's what I got below:
 Nubar | Nail Polish (Pink Shimmer)
Full size: 15 ml ($8)
Sample: FULL SIZE
 Olay Regenerist | Wrinkle Revolution Complex
Full size: 15 ml ($60)
Sample size:  7 ml x 2 ($56)
 Paco Rabanne | Black XS for Her + Him
Full size: For Her 50 ml ($74)
For Him 50 ml ($78)
Sample Size: 1.2 ml each ($3.65)
 Orlane | Magnificent Hair Care Conditioner
Full size: 200 ml ($96)
Sample: 7 ml ($3.36)
Gilette | Venus & Olay Razor ($15)
 
Total Luxe Box worth: $86.01

I'm really disappointed in this month's box. Again, the only thing I liked was the nail polish. I will probably use the perfume/cologne and the hair conditioner. The razor was nice but I rarely use them because I would rather epilate so it's not much use to me. Neither is the wrinkle creams since my mom doesn't use them and neither do I. These past couple boxes were so BLAH to me so I've decided to cancel my subscription to Luxe Box, June will be my last box!

Luxe Box is a monthly subscription beauty box that is $12 + taxes plus free shipping. They're currently sold out, but you can sign up for their wait list. If you're interested, check it out here!

April - Daffodil Month pin
Total Luxe Box worth: $14.03 

Honestly, I was VERY disappointed in this months Luxe Box. Subscribes got to pick their full sized item this month and I chose the Essie nail polish, but it took 5 tries because they had a lot of technical issues. I like the polish colour, but I really don't like the sheerness it has, I prefer opaque nail polishes. I liked how they acknowledged that April was Daffodil Month and sent us all pins, but I was nonchalant about the rest of the box. 

I'm subscribed to 4 beauty boxes now and need to cancel at least one. I was thinking of either Glymm or Luxe Box, but now it just might be Luxe Box.
