Beauté Treasure

Previously I bought a few boxes of Vanity Trove, but as I find the samples in Vanity Trove getting more and more uninteresting, I decided to look for other beauty boxes instead. After doing some research, I found the recently launched "The Little Black Beauty Box" (LBBB). A joint venture by mediacorp styleXstyle and Robinsons, each month, the LBBB delivers to your doorstep a box containing a variety of beauty products in a dedicated theme, all for just S$19.90 (free shipping in Singapore). Online reviews on the past boxes showed the boxes with reasonable sized samples from quite reputable brands, all for a lower price than Vanity Trove. So I decided to try out the August box which happens to be themed "Shiseido" a brand which I am a fan of. LBBB has a nice customer service which calls you up one week before delivery to confirm delivery timing, and finally after a long long wait (I order in early July), it finally arrived! Ribbon wrapped, the LBBB looks lik

Hello Gorgeous! After a super long hiatus from Vanity Trove (last buy was almost 1 yr ago), I finally decided to get another one of it. Vanity Trove has changed their way of business, and instead of sending everyone with the same samples across all boxes, they decided to allow customers to choose the samples from a pool of products to try. By filling in your beauty profile, VT helps to filter through all the products they have and narrow down the type of products suitable for you, from which you choose 6 items to fill up your own box. To mark the change in VT, the box that your samples usually comes in has been changed from the usual white and bright pink to a more sophisticated mute peach color box. As VT was having a $15 per box promotion going on to celebrate the change, I decided to give VT another go, and here's the 6 items I have picked for myself. Kose Infinity Deep Protection UV SPF 50+ PA++++ (Sample) Maybelline New York HyperComos Eyeshadow in LV-1 (Full Size)

Lancome Rouge In Love 365N and Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Black Ink Recently I have just flown to Shenzhen, China for some work related stuff, and I took advantage of the chance and got myself some makeup at Singapore Changi Airport DFS Perfumes & Cosmetics. I kept a tight rein over myself and it was a feat to only walk away with two pieces of makeup. Lancome Rouge in Love Lancome Rouge In Love has been out in the market for quite some time, and I love the idea of how the lipstick shades are classified according to moods. Categorized in 3 moods: Jolis Matins : Fresh shades for daytime wear. Jolis Matins shades are identified with the letter M in the shade number. Boudoir Time : Pop shades for cocktail hour. Bourdoir Time shades are identified with the letter B in the shade number. Tonight is My Night : Intense shades for magical nights. Tonight is My Night shades are identified with the letter N in the shade number. I have been eyeing to own a piece
