I received my first Top Box late last week, after a few months wait on their waiting list.

I’m a little on the fence about their service. They are different than Luxe Box in a few ways. For example, you receive your Top Box in a tube while Luxe Box is a sleek box that can be reused for many things. I really don’t know how I would reuse the Top Box tube. Any ideas?

Secondly, Top Box samples are much more luxurious in size than your average Luxe Box samples (ie. before the seasonal changes) BUT out of the 4 products I received in my Top Box, none of them were full size.
Lastly, Top Box’s aren’t personalized either, like Luxe Box’s are.

What I do like is that Top Box actually ships out in the middle of the month, rather than the end. I like this better.
I also like the fact that I’m receiving generous samples of products that I’ve never tried or heard of before. That’s a real bonus!

I’m going to subscribe for another couple of months to really decide on my feelings for the service. In the meantime, here is my September Top Box:

1. Benefit They’re Real! Mascara 0.1oz
   any mascara is useless for me right now as I have lash extensions so I won’t be putting this to use just yet
2. L’Essence by Balenciaga Paris fragrance 4ml
   awesome fragrant sample size. Much bigger than the free ones you get at your local beauty department or Shoppers Drug Mart.
3. Philosphy One-Step Facial Cleanser 30ml
   My skin has been acting up lately so I’m quite excited to try this cleanser!
4. M.Asam Perfect Teint primer 5ml
   I love a good primer and am always on the look out for new ones to try.
