December 2012 Luxebox (Winter Seasonal Edition)

This was a total surprise to me, now that Loose Button has changed their service to a seasonal one, I don't even remember when my Luxebox is coming. I mean with the August box I did get sort of antsy because it's was the launch of the new transformation and I wanted my luxebox! My credit will stretch over for the spring box and then I believe I am done. Yesterday I got home from work at 10, I was sitting to eat dinner and I look over onto the counter and there it was, I was amazed because I wasn't even expecting to get my box till the end of the month like summer edition..I also didn't receive any updates or tracking information. So here it is, as always the packaging is immaculate.

As before the Luxebox now comes in a very sturdy, thick white rectangular box. I save mine because they come in so handy. I use the top and bottom for separate purposes; I store some of my nail polishes in them, as well as my face products that sit under my washroom sink! 
Last season they had all the products wrapped up in a silk hankie, but this month they've got their own specialized Loose Button pouch which I think is adorable!
Here is a quick sneak peek..see the Essie polish?!
...and here are all the goods! I must say I was pretty happy, I wish there were more makeup items, nonetheless this month was still pretty good.

I love that Loose Button is branching off and creating their own line of tools. Last time they sent out a Loose Button Loofa pad which was alright, but this Kabooki looks much better in quality. Here are some closer shots of the items I received...
Eyeko Skinny Mini Mascara- I can't wait to try this out but I'm not really sure how it'll perform. The bristle look okay, although it seems some are missing towards the end. It's supposed to be a lengthening mascara so can't wait to see. 
Essie (Butler Please)- I normally don't gravitate towards color within the blue range but there's something about this color that really excites me! It's a beautiful royal blue color, have you guys tried?
Kerastase Hair oil- A cute little vial, will be perfect for me to try out! I know Kerastace products can be quite expensive but I saw a Loreal one very similiar. I honestly don't care too much about hair products, it's the least exciting thing for me. 
Prada Milano body lotion- A very generous sized sample I'd say, the smell is lovely. I have to find a way to use it because I have a bijillion hand creams to use up.
Donna Karan Eau De Parfum-  I love getting perfume samples that come in the cute bottles, the only draw back to this sample is that it doesn't have a spritz top. I find it hard to use then because I have to dot it in.
and lastly..
Kabooki Brush- Such a cute little addition to the box! Loose buttons own cosmetic tools. I hardly use kabooki's but this really nice to have just in case.
Dermologica Cleansing Lotion- This is the coolest consistency ever! It looks like oil, you dab it on, add some water and create a somewhat milky mixture. I've heard that Dermologica is an expensive line, I tried it yesterday and it does such a good job at cleansing. I hope it doesn't cost too much, because if I do like it then I might consider buying it.
Blue Lagoon Iceland Mask- This was another nice sample, and I must say I think there is enough product in it for atleast two applications.s I don't have much else to say other other then I am just about the try it tonight!

That is it, my lovelies I'd say a pretty good box, what do you think?
Did you receive the same things? Let me know I'd love to hear your thoughts.

  1. pretty amazing box! I stopped my subscription when they switched over to the quarterly subscription but after seeing how great your box is, I may have to re-subscribe again. The Prada lotion looks like a very generous size.

    1. I got my first Luxebox and I kind of thought the same thing. It was December my dad had just bought me a yearly subscription and I was so happy. I got the first one and was taken aback. I'll say with any beauty box there's the ups and downs. Fortunately this seasonal box allows for for samples, and better sizes:)

  3. That Essie shade looks gorgeous! Interested to see how that mascara works out for you as I'm a huge fan of the eyeliner.

    1. Yea it actually is! I'm never one for dark colors but I am definitely going to try it out. I actually got the eyeliner last box, but I don't wear liquid eyeliner so I didn't really fall in love with it. I'm curious to see how the mascara works as well. Maybe I'll do a quick post on it:)

  4. That Essie polish looks right up my alley! Gorgeous!! What amazing items!! I have the Eyeko Skinny brush mascara and I can't work it right! The makeup artist person at Sephora used it on me and my eyelashes were BAMM woah long and thick! But then I got it home and couldn't use it on myself Lol!!
