February Topbox Review

I got my Topbox yesterday! Pretty quick shipping this time :)! The great thing about Topbox is you can always count on them to ship by the 10th unlike Glymm (who btw still has not sent me a shipping notification -_-). Anyways, prior to this month's box Topbox sent out an email asking if we would like to choose from three brand Prive boxes and showed us the contents of each. The Benefit one was nice, but I owned a lot of the products that came with it already and the other two Prive boxes didn't really interest me. I decided to take my chances and go for a regular Topbox. I'm really glad I did because I LOVE this month's box :D! Here's a quick glimpse at what I received this month:

Future Reviews

For those of you wondering why I don't review my Topbox/Glymm box items as soon as I recieve them, it's because I've made a rule for myself to minimize clutter on my bathroom counter. I only open one or two of an item category at a time (ie. only 2 moisturizers being used at a time) and I don't open anything new until I've finished something. This was after my mascara incident where I had 10 tubes open, but barely used and had to throw away most due to expiry. That being said, I've been racking up more and more stuff at a much faster pace than I can use. I also buy a lot of things to try (especially after my trip to Taiwan).

For an idea of just how much stuff I'm talking about... here is proof:

I am slightly ashamed by this. Makeup hoarding?

As you can see there's still a lot of stuff for me to get to. Some of the above items are backups of stuff I already love too. I probably won't review them all, just the ones that really wow me or irk me lol. I'm very excited to start using the ZA stuff! I have the 2-way face powders, wide eyes mascara, and three moisturizers (a gel, a cream, and a spray one). Also not pictured are about 15 boxes of sheet masks as well as a box of the acid peel for feet. 

Look forward to my future reviews, I promise they'll be posting on here frequently ;)!

January Glymm Bag Review

I got my January Glymm bag on Friday (Feb 1st) which is pretty late even for Glymm. What happened was they emailed everyone close to the 10th of January saying one item was delayed so the entire box that month would be delayed. No biggie, how nice of them to let us know right? No! No one heard anything for like weeks and even their Twitter and Facebook seemed oddly silent then out of no where they emailed a shipment notification. I heard some people didn't even get a notification and the bag just sort of popped up on their doorsteps one day. Anyways, all errors aside, here is what I got this month:
