Topbox(regular) Feb 2013

Last month, got a great Prive Topbox which featured Clinique. This month their prive box is featuring Benefit which is one of my favorite cosmetic brands. Last week, the blogging world was flooded with bloggers receiving their Benefit boxes. They sent out the Chinese New Year-themed Benefit box last week and when I didn't get my shipping email, I knew I would not be getting one of those. 

It is an awesome box from what I see from other bloggers. But as I mentioned, I am a big fan of Benefit cosmetics and I already have all of the featured products already except the lip gloss. 

Instead, I received the regular box which, to my surprise, exceeded my expectation.


B Kamins nutrient replacement cream Kx
Make Up For Ever Pro Finish Powder Foundation(#118 Natural beige)
Deborah Lippmann Nail Lacquer
Get Creamed Body All Natural premium body butter


B. Kamins nutrient replacement cream Kx 15 ml
(full size would be 45g $152)

This nourishing cream provides essential nutrients to improve skin's appearance. Use for hydrated, healthy and brighter skin.

I have tried their lip gloss and body butter. Very moisturizing and I like them very much. This one has a very creamy texture but not too sticky. I have been looking for a moisturizing day cream for cold winter months and this is just perfect. Can't wait to try it.

Make Up For Ever Pro Finish Multi-use Powder Foundation

Multi-use powder foundation that can be applied wet or dry for buildable coverage and a customized finish. Full size 10 g $42.


This is a sample size of 0.07 oz/2g

The shade is actually much lighter in person. It also comes with a little sponge for application.

I have not tried MUFE's powder and I'm super excited to test it out. Does Topbox know that I'm really into foundation/powder foundation these days? Right up my alley :)


Deborah Lippmann Nail Lacquer


Mine is a full sized product in the shade of Since I Fell For You

I have not tried Deborah Lippmann nail polish before and so happy to receive this. This may look red but it actually has a plum/pink tone to it. Very pretty color.


Last but not least, Orange U Smellin' Good 100% Natural Whipped Body Cream
Full size $28 (225ml)

Premium spa body butter designed to moisturize and soothe skin naturally with a touch of delicious scent.

My container does not state the size but I believe this is a full-sized product.


Has a very buttery creamy texture to it. Scented orange which is my absolute favorite. I got a Pacifica Blood Orange body butter from my Ipsy bag last month and I have been obsessed with orange scent. This is all natural and does not have any preservatives in it. 

I am very satisfied with my Feb Topbox and this month is my absolute favorite box so far.

    1. when I was looking at others' Benefit Prive box, I was so hoping I would get that. But since I got most of the products in the box already in full-size, would like to try something else and I was so happy to receive this regular box.

    1. I'm very happy with the regular box this month. The Benefit box is awesome too but since I got most of the items in full size already, the regular box would be much better for me.

  6. I think the regular box was better than the Benefit, and I only say that because I own most of the products in the Benefit box ;)

    1. I got an email last week to buy the Benefit prive box. But when I clicked on the link, they were all sold out. It would be such a great idea to get the prive box as a gift.
