CLARINS facebook event and haul

Remember CLARINS Facebook event last month? Well I just want to share the superb gifts and my mini haul on that day ^o^

I simply love the lace design on the box!!!

Here's what I received in the box:
1 Multi Active Night Youth Recovery Cream (travel size)
2 Multi Active Day Early Wrinkle Correction Cream-Gel (travel size)
1 Double Serum (3 satchets); and
1 UV Ecran Multi Protection (travel size)

For those who were present we were given the opportunity to buy the CLARINS Double Serum at RM 280 (retail price) and receive a complimentary Anti-Aging face treatment worth RM 228/248 and an additional Eye Treatment worth Rm 80.

I bought only 1 Double serum - the effect was really awesome on the spot  but I really want to try just 1 bottle to be sure. Will post a review soon!!!

Blind date with Lilacbox

Have you heard? There is another new box in town - the Lilacbox!!! Just like any other beauty box, they are offering to send approximately 5 premium products for a subscription of RM 35/month (got this info from Jamie's update). 

Unlike some beauty box they are giving away a free surprise gift. You'll only have to register your email address and then proceed to choose your free gift of either 

1. Chloe perfume

2. A Burberry Beauty makeover or  

3. Clavin Klein Euphoria Fragrance!!! 

I chose the Chloe fragrance - gonna go and redeem it soon ^o^

Love the freebies? Get it quick before its gone!!!! Just click on the photo below and proceed to the registration page.

What I think:

The photo of the box wasn't really engaging - maybe they are keeping it simple but I really love the ribbon. I just love purple!!!! 

However if you look at the registration page, you'll notice that they are bringing in really good brands ( they did mention they bring in only premium brands!!!) - Kerastase, Burberry, Chloe, Stri Vectin, Roberto Cavalli etc. For the price of RM 35 I might just subscribe to it next year!!! 

You can check out their fb page as well. Its full of info's about the products that they are bringing in and tips and tricks that would benefit you.

Another thing, if you are a blogger and would love to receive a free beauty box just blog about The Lilac Box. I want one too and I can't wait to see what's in the February box!!!

Lets have a look at the beautiful card.

vanity trove december edition 

Notice the red circles? Item No. 4 looks diff from the wax strips I had received but I don't have a problem with it. Its fine but if you have a look at the other two things circled on the card, it was missing from the box. I'm not very familiar with Vanity Trove's concept whether they actually substitute the items with other things but with my Wonderbox subscriptions I'd normally receive everything that is stated on the card. Weird huh.

Maybe they had substituted it for the Philosophy sample pack? Its not on the card but I do have it in my box!!!

What I think:

After subcribing to 3 beauty boxes I find that I'm not excited over skincare products. I chose Vanity Trove because their previous boxes looks so yummylicious but this is a bit of a disappointment to me. For the price of $25 to get these products that i'm not excited about - its not worth it.

Another issue I had with Vanity Trove was their payment methods. I chose Paypal for a 1 month subscription, everything was fine until I received a notification about allowing for a recurring payment on my account. I was very very sure on my subscription - just 1 month, a test and try to see whether I'd like it and I was surprise to have received such a notification. My paypal account showed me otherwise. I had to "manually" clicked and cancel the recurring payment. What a waste of time. 

My rating: 6/10
