I love the idea behind this. First, who doesn't want to get mail in an uber cute & creatively packaged box? I know this girl does. Here's what it looks like;
Seriously, so cute right? I'm saving the ribbons and boxes for future gifts. At the time I signed up for this program it cost $9.99 a month but as is life, there has been a price increase and it now costs $12 monthly. You can also buy a 3 month and a 1 year membership.
So what can you expect for that? This is what the website says;
You will receive a chic box filled with three to five deluxe-sized luxury beauty samples ranging from skincare and makeup to fragrance, body, and haircare. Want to know more about them? Not to worry, we will also include a product sheet with descriptions and tips for all the samples.
So I have now received my first Luxe Box and thought I'd share what I got and my first impressions, here's what it looked like when I opened it.
Along with a cute little note
And here's what was inside
I really liked the included product description sheet so you know what you're getting and a little bit more information about it.
They also included a little chocolate Hershey's kiss, which I thought was a sweet touch..no pun intended.
So because I have been testing some skin care, I'm a little slow to use everything and haven't tried the Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant yet. I have done some online research & this product gets really solid positive reviews, so I'm excited to try it. It's like a very very fine powder, which is so different from any exfoliant I've used.
The China Glaze is a very pretty bright pink and will be a great pedicure color for the summer. I received a full size bottle because I signed up for a 3 month membership. Bonus!
The Consonant Body Olive Oil Soap is just amazing. First it comes with a little loofa that you rest the soap on, love that. Second it smells amazing, just a really pure clean scent that I love. Third it has minimal ingredients and is 100% natural, and you can really feel that on your skin. Just a beautiful soap.
Finally the Biocollasis Day Serum from Elizabeth Grant. Now this is said to be an anti-aging serum and has generally good reviews online. I did use this once and I experienced quite a bit of redness on my skin while I had it on. Also it felt a little sticky, as if it just wouldn't absorb into my skin. I'm not sure if I used too much so I will try it again, but this
one might not be for me.
My overall thoughts are very positive. I'm excited to see what's coming next. There is a place on the Loose Button site where you can check what the upcoming brands are, but I don't like to do that. I'd rather be surprised, it's more fun that way for me. I also thought the quality and size of the products was definitely worth the money I paid for this box. At this point, after only receiving one box I'd say go ahead and try it. It's not very expensive and you'll get a chance to try some new things that you may not get to
Just to be clear I'm not affiliated with this company and I bought this with my own money.
What are your thoughts? Have any of you tried these programs and do you like them?

Fun! I have seen a few posts on this before but your stamp of approval makes me all that much more eager to try it! :-)
ReplyDeleteAwesome review Tracy! I checked out their website last night... I won't spill the beans, but I see some fabulous brands on the way!
ReplyDeleteWow! You got some really great items! I can't wait until Loose Button starts shipping to the US! :)
ReplyDeleteLike you, I wasn't crazy about the Elizabeth Grant serum. It is really sticky. I wish they'd stop putting her products in the box. I don't like anything I've tried by her line.
ReplyDeleteI got a copper nail polish-really pretty colour. The pink looks great!
Nice pics Tracy! :)
This is such a great idea! I wish I would have thought of it ; )
ReplyDeleteThe nail polish looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies!
ReplyDeleteLena - Phew, I read your comment with one eye squinted shut, just in case you were going to tell me ;)
Tracy - Ok so I'm not crazy then & this isn't some miracle product that I just don't get, very re-assuring!
For those of you State side I think it will be coming your way soon, I can't believe we actually got something before you :0
That China Glaze color looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteFun! I've been signed up with Birch Box (the US equivalent) for a few months and have been really happy, so you'll probably enjoy this! It's like a mini Christmas every month :)
ReplyDeleteWow how awesome!! I like the product sheet that is nice :)
ReplyDeleteI've been watching Loose Buttons because when it can finally sip to the states I'll probably sign up for it even though I do get the Birchbox. :-) Love some products!
