First Impressions: VanityTrove for August 2012

It took me quite a while to decide whether or not I wanted to jump onto the surprise beauty boxes' ship. I wasn't sure what to expect out of these boxes and finally last month I decided to purchase on for my birthday month! 

Here's the link for those who want to subscribe to it to VanityTrove! The subscription for September 2012 box ends in 14 days' time! http://www.vanitytrove.com/sg

I think I'm definitely buying the September 2012 box. The theme is Fall in Love: Beauty Made for the Season. SOUNDS SO AMAZING ALREADY! :D 

Let's now check out the August 2012 VanityTrove! 

Delivery was extremely efficient. The management even sent out a mass email when one of the items (that was to be packed in the box) was late and so the delivery might be delayed. Excellent service! 

The box itself is very sleek. I have kept the box to store my sample beauty and skincare products. Great for storage, especially for people like me who have too many things, but too little space. 

The August 2012 VanityTrove was dedicated to "Rocket Science" - products that use the latest technology to create wonders to the respective body parts.

I also received a Zalora.sg voucher coupon and an Eyebrow Design session for 50% at Erabelle! I just booked my eyebrow treatment session, so yay to pampering for the eyes! Ok, perhaps not pampering because it's going to be painful, but it makes my face look more tidy, so YAY!

Look at the myriad of products!

VanityTrove also included a brochure of what products you can expect to get in your VanityTrove box! For some categories, they had choices of what we may get, so another VanityTrove box may be different from yours!

For "Milk Treatment" - I was given the Scottish Fine Soaps Company Au Lai Shower Gel

For "Magic Mixers" - I was given the FULL-SIZE Majolica Majorca Eyes Reset Gel

For "Made to Fit" - I was given the Morillins Eyes Therapy Mask

Some VanityTreats from Watsons were also included, like Biore Aqua Jelly Makeup Remover, Skin 79 BB Cream Series sample sachet and Neutrogena Deep Clean Brightening Mulberry Foaming Scrub.

WOOOOOHOOOOO!

I love this surprise open-box concept. Even my sister was sitting next to me asking me to open everything. :D

Morillins Eyes Therapy Mask - firming and revitalizing! I have yet to try this, but am gonna do so tonight!

A mini sample of origins Plantscription Anti-aging Eye Cream. This is tiny, but you don't need a lot of product for a single application, hence, this will last me for quite some time. A free 20-min mini facial was also included! I gave that to my mom because she needed it more than me.

3 SAMPAR samples. SAMPAR is a French brand and I knew nothing about it until this box came! This is why I love the concept - you get introduced to indie brands and perhaps they have killer products! Can't wait to try these out!

I was given the SAMPAR Poreless Magic Peel, SAMPAR Equalizing Foam Peel and SAMPAR Glamour Shot.

I can also redeem some other SAMPAR products! :D

SAMPAR Poreless Magic Peel - like a moisturiser to attack huge pores.

SAMPAR Equalizing Foam Peel - this is more of an exfoliator.

 SAMPAR Glamour Shot - makeup base! I can't wait to try this!

Some BRANDS product! I'm quite surprised at how normal tasting there were. I drank both of them chilled and they tasted quite good! In my mind, BRANDS = Chicken Essence and I hate chicken essence.

The Scottish Fine Soaps Au Lait Bath & Shower Gel (50ml). This smells like heaven, and the smell lingers on your skin for quite some time. What a product. I can't believe I'm loving the bath product most. 

A full-sized Majolica Majorca Eyes Reset Gel! I love makeup removers and so I'll be reviewing how well this product removes eye makeup! 

Here are the VanityTreats from Watsons! And yes, I did receive two of the Biore Aqua Jelly Makeup Remover!

Definitely will be purchasing the September 2012 one soon! Will you be subscribing to VanityTrove too? :)
