TREND MODE OF ARTIST 2012: Luxe Box

Luxe Box by Loose Button is a beauty subscription service that just recently went from invite-only to public. You sign up and pay a subscription amount (monthly, quarterly and yearly) and you get three boxes shipped to you for three months. Each box contains three deluxe samples of beauty brands such as Dermologica, OPI, Lise Watier, Anna Sui, Christian Dior, Benefit, MAC, Clinique and Principessa, among others.

I signed up just before Loose Button went public with their service and bought three months worth of Lux Boxes. Just before they went public I was offered the change to sign up for another three months, so I did. And I'm glad I did as I got my first Luxe Box last week (sent out early due to the impending Canada Post strike).

Luxe Box is so pretty - a brown box, wrapped with a black ribbon. Very sophisticated and very chic. Inside is teal tissue paper and a pink striped card, with what beauty treats are inside and a personalized note.

My Luxe Box goodies for June are a mini bottle of China Glaze nail polish in Pink Underground, Daily Microfoliant from Dermalogica and a full-size Laura Mercier eyeshadow in Sandstone. They also threw in a little chocolate treat.

China Glaze nail polish, Dermologica Daily Microfoliant, Laura Mercier Eye Colour, chocolate!

Mini China Glaze in Pink Underground

China Glaze nail polish in Pink Underground

This is not my colour. It's too bubblegum pink, although it's pretty enough with the slight purple sparkle. I lasted less than 24 hours with it on.

Dermologica Daily Microfoliant

I have tried this yet but it's a rice-based powder exfoliant that will smooth and soften your skin, removing dirt, dead skin and roughness.

Laura Mercier Eye Colour in Sandstone

Sandstone is a very pretty, shimmery fleshtone shade making it perfect as a browbone highlighter or to blend darker shades. And Laura Mercier makes gorgeous eyeshadows.

I was thrilled with my first Luxe Box and can't wait to see what's coming next month!
