The Luxe Box Arrives

So, I have been more than a little jealous envious of all the U.S. bloggers posting pictures of the goodies they have been receiving in their Birchbox each month. 

I'm not ashamed to admit it. 

I ogled pictures, read a ridiculous amount of reviews...and promptly put myself on the waiting list for our own Luxebox.

I received my first box (or rather boxes) late last week after receiving a confirmation of delivery email the day before.

Pretty impressive.

Goodies above included a few perfume samples (meh), 2 packages of Frederic Fekkai's hair product samples, a full-size Essie polish in a gorgeous, perfect.for.summer hue and a tube of Olay's wrinkle repair. 
The second box above (the white one) contained items for "bath and body". 
It contained a Venus razor (always welcome) and a second tube of Olay wrinkle repair (ditto).

My favorite item?
Definitely the Essie polish. 

I must say I giggled like a school girl when I received the boxes in the mail. It was not unlike the surprise bags you could purchase when we were kids. Never knowing what you might get.
Anyone remember those or am I showing my age again?


I'm giving this month's box a solid 10 for presentation. (loved the personalized sticker :: such a nice touch).
And a 6 for content only because I wouldn't call these samples "luxe" in any way other than the polish as mentioned above. Pretty sure you could pick up these fragrance and hair care samples at your local department or beauty specialty store. 


Let's see what next month's holds. 
Are you subscribing to a beauty box? What do you think of them?
