November 2015 Topbox Unboxing and Review - Canadian Beauty Subscription

TopBox is a Canadian Beauty Box Subscription - for $12 CDN a month with free shipping, you will receive 4 deluxe sample size or full size products. You fill out a beauty profile and generally receive products based on what you have identified in the profile. Also, every month you have the option to wish for a "prive" box, which is a box that focuses on one brand or product for the whole box.

TopBox is a Canadian company and only ships to Canada. The only downside to subscribing to TopBox is that there is a wait-list that can take a month or two to get off of.

This month, Topbox started offering a real referral program - they have only ever offered links via email which are a pain in the butt to get out to people! I love that their is a link now (which is of course included in this post now).

For October, I opted for a regular Topbox. Here is a look:


I'm thinking this month looks pretty good - Topbox also includes a product card detailing the products included. 

Five on Friday - November 27, 2015

Happy Black Friday everyone - while us Canadians celebrated Thanksgiving a long time ago, I love that we get to participate in Black Friday deals! (I am going to try and just buy gifts, but likely I will get something for myself!)

ONE
This hasn't been a super great week for me, I still have lots of posts to get done! But, I had a minor surgery on Tuesday and I thought that would give me lots of time to do my posts but it did not! Anyways, I am feeling better now and I will get them done! 

TWO

Look at these awesome Christmas crackers - I got them last week when The Face Shop had a 25% off sale so they worked out to $11 for 3 which is awesome! Every year my girlfriends and I do a Girls Night Christmas with a Secret Santa gift exchange - I figure skincare crackers are the perfect addition to a girls night!!!

Sears Beauty Event and a Giveaway!!!

I was happy to be invited to the Sears Beauty Event on November 3, 2015! Sears Canada partnered with "Look Good Feel Better" to help raise money for their Beauty Gives Back campaign. 



"Look Good Feel Better" is company dedicated to helping women with cancer. Their motto is: 'We believe that if a woman with cancer can be helped to look good, chances are she’ll feel better, her spirits will be lifted and she’ll be empowered to face her illness with greater confidence. We like to call it a 'makeover for the spirit'.
