february luxe box review...

 so here it is... the february luxe box...


they've partnered with flare magazine... which i'm not impressed with.  we get a card to send in to order a subscription.  i think a free magazine should've been part of the package.

made just for me again.  at least i love the sticker!

inside:
  • 3 samples of redken colour extend shampoo and conditioner.  while three is quite a few, at least those people who've never tried it before get a good idea as to what it's really like.  i happen to like this shampoo and conditioner.  it's what i was using until i switched to moroccan oil shampoo and conditioner... not to mention it's affordable.
  • dkny pure perfume sample.  smells pretty good, and it's a pretty big sample, so i think this was worth it.  i don't LOVE the fragrance, but it's a nice size sample and a good brand, so it makes me a bit happier with the quality of this month's luxe box.
  • dermalogica face cleansing powder.  i've tried it twice now, and i have a very love/hate feeling towards it.  i love the product, how my face feels after, so incredibly clean and smooth without irritation.  this is a bonus for me, as i have extremely sensitive skin.  i hate the retail price of the full size product.  $75 for cleanser?? not in my budget.
  • and finally, cargo lash activator mascara.  which i have not tried, and i'm not sure if/when i will, as i have eyelash extensions and rarely wear mascara... and when i do, it's mascara specifically for extensions.

overall... i'd say worth the $12, and i will use most of this months products.  i'm still disappointed because for the second month in a row, i feel like i've gotten one of the lower quality boxes.  also, compared to previous boxes, i just don't feel the it's meeting my expectations.  which, clearly, are too high.

  1. I always get so interested in these things but I have the worst luck and would probably get things I'd never use!
