December Topbox Unboxing 2014

Hello :) 

today I will be showing you what I received in my December Topbox.  I used to do unboxing videos but I found that I couldn't find the time to create and edit them with school and work so I figured blogging about it might be easier! This months box wasn't that impressive to me compared to the other boxes we have received and I found that for a box that comes during the Christmas season it could have been a bit better but they can't all be winners I suppose, read on to see what I received this month!

Here is an image containing all 4 products that I received this month. 

The first product on the list is a natural mineral eyeshadow by Marsk in the colour "seaspray". This was definitely not one of my favourite products as the colour really does not suit me. I have swatched it for you below to show you the full effect of the eyeshadow. I don't generally wear green eye shadow, but I will give it a try and maybe try mixing some brown hues and blending it. This is a full size product and it retails at $22.50. You can purchase this online at www.marskcosmetics.com. 

The second product on the list is a nail polish by Kinetics in the colour "Up the Rocks". I again was not a big fan of this product as the colour was not my all time favourite. I have swatched the colour for you below, but I will say that the picture is making it look nicer than it actually is. I have received a black and white speckled nail polish from Kinetics before and I loved it but this one was a bit of a disappointment. Hopefully I can find a new home for this lonely polish :P. This was also a full size product and it retails at $12. You can purchase this polish online at www.kineticsnails.com. 

The third product on the list is four mini packet samples of Eslor skin care products. This packet came with a sample of each of their new products that are a part of their "Hydrate, Protect, Treat" line. The products I received are: Soothing Refiner and Cleanser, Botanical Peeling Gel, Chlorophyll Lifting Mask, and last but not least a Firming Collagen Day Cream. These were probably my favourite items that I received in this months box. I love when I get new skin care products to sample because I am always looking for new natural products to use on my face. The great benefit of these samples is that they use aloe vera (one of my favourite ingredients) and they are paraben free. I have tried 3 out of the 4 products and I love them all so far. They left my face feeling fresh and smooth. The only one I haven't tried yet is the lifting mask and I am keeping that for before New Years to renew my face before I head out to celebrate the New Year :))). These were 5mL samples, the full sized products retail as follows: 

-Soothing Refiner and Cleanser 60mL $28.00 USD

-Botanical Peeling Gel 60mL $38.00 USD

-Chlorophyll Lifting Mask 50mL $38.00 USD

-Firming Collagen Day Cream 50mL $85.00 USD

If you wish to purchase any of these products (or more) head on over to www.eslor.com. 

And finally the last product on the list is  the Argan Dry Body Oil by Barefoot Venus in the scent "sugar leaf". I liked this product quite a lot. The scent is to die for and I love anything that contains argan oil. This is a great little sample bottle that I can carry in my purse wherever I go. I have noticed that we have received a lot of Barefoot Venus products within the past year, and so far I have enjoyed all of their products, they all smell great and work pretty well. I received a 8mL sample bottle, the full bottle (140mL) retails at $15.99. To purchase this product and other great products head over to www.barefootvenus.com and if you purchase anything over $30 before January 31st, 2015 you can use the code "BFVSAVE10" to receive $10 off your purchase! 

In total this box is worth $53.20 which pays well over the cost of the box. Although I was not completely happy with all the items I received this month, I still love having the surprise of opening these boxes and seeing what I have gotten. Hope you enjoyed this months unboxing, cannot wait to see what's in store for us in the New Year :)) Happy Holidays everyone!
