Modbox's December Beauty Box Review

It is finally here! If you saw my Instagram, I actually received 3 beauty boxes on one day and that is the best feeling I've ever felt in a while now. Unfortunately only two were mine, while the other one was my friend's, Lina. 

Remember the awesome giveaway I had for ModBox? As a gift of appreciation, Modbox sent me their December box, sweetness. :) So right now i'm going to unbox it with you all and review along the way. :)

Used bubble wrap, a point for that!

Awwww.... look at this, so cute! I love the mini santa hat, and the "Merry Christmas" ribbon. Hey look there's a card!

This may sound weird, but I can actually feel their appreciation and sincerity while reading this card. Thanks Modbox. :)

So the first few things I see are these two vouchers. 

And what's in the box? There are a total of 6 products in the box. Thanks to their guide card I am able to discover more about the products in the box. The box smells really nice too. :) Let's get in details about each product.

LuView Glossy Kiss (full-sized) - RM36.90.

Contains dual colour lip gloss that is able to give a finish look of sweet pink or rosy pink. This easy to glide lip gloss is able to deliver the perfect shine due to the moisture-boosting Vitamin E. I'm not really into lip gloss, but I might give this a try because the packaging is just too pretty to give it a pass! Also, I prefer pink tones than red. 

Skin 79 Diamond The Prestige BB Cream - RM33.90

Get that great dewy look with a slight of shimmer finish. This triple-function BB cream is able to provide medium to full coverage, complete UV protection, whitening and moisturizing effects. I'm a BB Cream user, so i'm really happy and excited to try this product. 

1) Himalaya Anti-Hair Fall Shampoo - RM24.90 for 400ml (this is only 100ml)

Have a healthier hair with this breakthrough formula, free from parabens, silicone and SLES. This shampoo nourishes roots and strengthens weakened hair to reduce hair fall due to breakage. I've tried this shampoo and I think they are really not bad and they work too! Check out my review here. 

2) Himalaya Honey & Cream Body Wash - RM22.90 for 400ml (this is 30ml)

Want a soft and supple skin? This herbal formulation with the nourishment of cream and honey will help rejuvenate, moisturise and soothe skin. I've never tried Himalaya's products for body wash, but i'm definitely excited to try this one! :) I always preferred natural and herbal ingredients. 

1) Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel for Sensitive Skin (the little jar) - RM195/50ml (this product is 7ml)

Bask in the luxury of a brighter, glowing complexion with this best-selling, patented at-home peel. It exfoliates and refines to even out skin tone, leaving your skin feeling completely soft and silky. Can't wait to try this one! 

2) Juice Beauty Oil Free Moisturizer - RM145/50ml (this product is 50ml)

Clogged pores, be gone! Packed with organic juices and antioxidants, this lightweight moisturiser feeds and draws moisture to your skin, all without the weight of oils. I'm very happy to have received this as it is what is my skin needs! Really excited to try this product as well!

Conclusion

Overall I am very satisfied with Modbox. Can you imagine? All the above for only RM19, even cheaper if you subscribe for 6 months with RM16.50 a month!!! Gosh I've never been happier or more satisfied with a beauty box. 

However, there is a draw back. The drawback is that they only accept credit cards for monthly subscriptions. However if you sign up for their 3, 6 or 9 months subscriptions you may pay via bank transfer, so YAY for me and for the rest of you too. :)

BBF November's Beauty Box Review

Exactly yesterday I received 3 beauty boxes! 2 were mine and 1 was Lina's. The two boxes that are mine are from BBF Beauty Box and ModBox. In this post I'll be unboxing the BBF Beauty Box. For ModBox please stay tuned! Updating soon. :)

The Packaging

The packaging for delivery is somewhat similar to Fabulous Finds (not in service anymore). I'm happy that they were considerate by putting the "Fragile" sticker on the packaging to prevent our beauty products from damaging.

The box itself on the inside is a solid box in which I'm happy about too. You have no idea how excited I was when I was about to open this box. Why? Because the normal price for BBF Beauty Box is RM48, but because of Deepavali I got mine for RM40 instead. :)

Unlike most of the other beauty box, where the way to open is to lift up the top part of the box, BBF made it a little different by having it designed in such like opening a drawer. I was really really excited at this part.

The Products

However, once the box was fully opened, I was VERY DISAPPOINTED. The box is kinda big but the products inside did not fill up the box. I mean what's the point of making the box so big if you're only going to put a few products in it right? 

Like most beauty box brands, there will always be a product guide to explain to us what products are given so we would know, but for BBF there weren't any! Here are the products I've got from BBF for the month of November.

A face mask from Guardian. Price? No idea.

Vaseline Anti-Aging Lotion. Price? At first I did not know either, until when I went over to Guardian earlier I saw the price. You know products that are usually placed near the paying counter means promotion or super cheap deals? Yeap I saw this there for about RM2+ (if i remember correctly, definitely not more than RM3). - VERY DISAPPOINTED.

Wardah Lightening Scrub, price? No idea. I've never even heard of this brand before, but sounds kinda cheap.

L'occitane Hand Cream, the product was not in perfect condition, 

Crabtree and Evelyn Hand Cream. Erm why do we need two hand creams from the same beauty box?

Lullabelle Soap. I think this is the only product from the box that's decent. Smells nice.

A random candle. No brand, no information about it at all. I'm not even sure if it's a scented candle? Because it does have a very slight scent when I smelled it, but then again it also smelled a little like the Lullabelle soap!

Conclusion

I am very very very disappointed. Original price is RM48, so it is only natural that we expect more than this right? What happened to their previous beauty box? Do you remember last time when they used to have Cleo Magazines, and other really really cool products, in fact  there used to be a lot more products. I did not pay RM40 for this.

Rate: 1/5

Repurchase: No. (I wanted to subscribe to their December box, but thank God I waited for this one if not i would've regretted)

PS: I do not recommend this beauty box, if you are still interested in subscribing it is obviously up to you. :)

Wonder Box, November Edition

Hello Ladies,

Here is November's Wonder Box! Truth to be told, when I got October's Wonder Box I wasn't really surprised, but thought it was not bad for the price im paying. 

I decided to give November another try to see if anything changes. So here's my November's Wonder Box, let's unbox it together. :)

Like October's box, it comes with Bubble Wrap! This time they used a pink ribbon instead of Black, don't know why though.

Actually pink ribbon doesn't look that bad... looks kinda sweet. LOL enough nonsense talk let's open the box! :)

Their content card of what's inside the box, and a voucher worth RM35 for SAMPAR products.

If there's a SAMPAR voucher, there's surely SAMPAR products. I received their: 

1) SAMPAR Vivid Radiance Serum - An exceptional concentration of peptides, hibiscus, and acerola. A powerful antidote to unwanted marks of time. [RM279/30ml]

2) SAMPAR Glamour Shot - Tint-free skin care that minimizes enlarged pores and wrinkles in one minute. May also be applied at any time of the day, on top of make-up. (Yes perfect for my large pores) [RM173/30ml]
3) SAMPAR Lavish Dream Cream - A day and night cream with anti-ageing properties. It provides long lasting moisture that diminishes the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and expression lines. [RM423/50ml]

What's the wrapped up small looking thing?

Office Make Up USA! Colour Glaze Eye Shadow, an eye shadow with a smooth and pearly texture that is easy to apply. It's shiny and vibrant colours are perfect for the trendy yet sophisticated you. [RM88]

This Office Make Up USA 3D Resplendent Lip Gloss was the highlight of the November's Box. Because the public knew about this, almost 400 people subscribed to this month's box. A unique lip gloss with 3D glitter and diamond effects. Contains vitamin E to provide moisture and nourishment for your lips. These are just the samples, the actual tube is bigger. [RM68]

So what do i think of Wonder Box's November Edition? Well... I would say i prefer the November's box over the October's. Reason because I'm a make-up person. :) Although the SAMPAR products in the box are just samples, but the Eye Shadow cost RM68, and that's a full sized product. 

Would I subscribe to December's Wonder Box?

- Maybe, depending on my mood and also if i've got enough cash. :)

October WonderBox Malaysia (Unboxing)

Hey ladies, today I finally received my first ever WonderBox! Well it is their first box too but yeah I was pretty excited! So I unboxed it just now and took some pictures for you to see roughly the kind of products they would give. However the purpose of a Beauty Box is to SURPRISE everyone, so the format of the box may not be the same. By format I mean like five full sized products, or 2 full sized and 7 samples kind of thing.

So let's get into it!

Nicely wrapped with bubble wraps. hmm another Beauty Box that I received did not have bubble wraps. I'll give WonderBox a credit for that.

The box is actually more solid than I thought. When I saw the pictures on their Facebook Page I thought it was going to be those really cheap paper box, but nope this one definitely has class. Check out the 3D design printed on the box.

Time to openn.......

Tadha! That's a card that shows what products are in the box. There's also a 20% voucher for Body Shop however only applicable for their body wash.

Some of you might be thinking... hmm that's quite little... but keep in mind they are full sized products

Lets take a closer look to each and every one of the products.

SOTHYS

Sothys HOMMES's Tri-Active Cleanser has a fresh and light texture to soften and soothe sensitive skin. It also regenerates and repairs damaged skin. 

A product as small as that costs...

Elianto's Princezna Mascara gives even sparse, fine lashes volume and length thanks to its unique Twist Brush for maximum coverage on each and every lash. Plus it's enriched with Vitamin E and protein rich keratin for healthier lashes. - I can't wait to try this one. But need to finish up my other mascaras first. :/

clinelle's Blemish  Clear speeds up skin healing and tightens enlarged pores. It helps relieve skin pain, inflammation and clear acne in just 1-2 days. - Perfect for me! I have huge pores and can use them after I squeeze my blackheads out. Okay you're not supposed to squeeze FYI but sometimes we just can't help it. Not to forget those annoying zits.

clinelle's SnoWhite Mask strengthens the skin's barriers, restores and maintains optimal hydration while brightening dull and lackluster complexions. - Another perfect product for me. Some people say i'm pale but I think recently I got a little darker. So this can help me maintain my fair skin. :)

Also not to forget The Body Shop's Strawberry Bath Shower Gel. It is a refreshing cleansing gel that lathers up in the bath or shower to leave your skin feeling clean, fresh and subtly scented. - I really like the Strawberry scent from Body's Shop but they are pretty expensive. So i'm happy this was included in the WonderBox!

So yeap that's about everything! Wonderbox cost only RM39.90 inclusive of postage. Hey RM40 for so many full sized products, so worth it. Not to forget Sothys that cose RM69! clinelle definitely not less than RM30 as well.
