ONCE UPON A LUXE BOX

My very first LUXEBOX arrived in the mail a few days ago!
I was quite impressed on how quickly I received it considering I only ordered it online a little over a week ago. The box was smaller than I was expecting, I'd say smaller than a shoe box and the packaging simple and nice. The items came nicely enveloped in a satin logo pouch.

Luxebox, in case you are wondering is a Beauty and Lifestyle subscription box that releases 4 times a year. Each box has an estimated value of $95.
Included you will receive 7-8 trial sized  on trend beauty/lifestyle products .
(I am always game to try something novel and trendy & I love the idea of getting a personalized present delivered straight to my door!)

The way it works is like this:

You  can choose to pay a quarterly fee $26/season (cancel anytime), a semi annual fee $25/season or an annual fee $24/season. Fill out a personalized profile on the LOOSEBUTTONLUXEBOX website so they can tailor the type of products to include in your box.

I have been interested in subscription boxes for a while now, but never committed to ordering one until Holiday madness took over and I felt I needed a little something special!
 
Subscription boxes have grown in popularity over the past few years; it all started with a UK based company called "BIRCHBOX" who began the whole beauty in a box craze.
Now that the subscription fever has taken hold, there is a wide array of categories to choose from to cater to any need or desire:
    
     Beauty, Fashion, Jewellery, Tech items, Pet trinkets, Kids crafts, Panties, 
    Adult boxes, Gamer, Organic, Fitness aficionados  etc  ..... I can go on & on.

 ( I will list a few others I considered at the end of the post)

One of the main reasons I choose this particular company was their good reviews in blog-land and I like that they are Canadian.
( I prefer to support local companies not to mention that shipping is usually free)

I received a free upgrade on my order, because I took advantage of a special promotion they were offering. Here are the items I received:

• 2 e.vulcano 30ml Hair products
• 1 Suki 30ml Exfoliate foaming cleanser
• 1 Paula's Choice 10 sheets of treatment cloths
• 1 Biotherm 10ml up-lifting cream 
• 1 really dark nail polish 
• 1 So Susan Mascara ( I needed a new one)
• 1 eyelash curler.....

I am anxious to try my new products and hope I was able to let you " in" on something NEW,
either for yourself, or for that hard to shop for "special" person.
