Vanity Trove December 2012 Edition

After seeing such an exciting mailer from Vanity Trove on the December Trove unveiled, I felt that I just had to get it even with the extra $5 price tag for getting a backorder. Plus I had seen reviews from Holly Jean and luvs samples, the products serum from Dr. GL, belif and philosophy seems too good to pass up. So immediately I went to Vanity Trove website and ordered it! Delivery was fast and smooth, within two days of ordering, I got my trove!

Excitedly, I pull apart the box, and that’s where all the good things ended.


Comparing the contents of the box, apart from the Dr. GL serum, belif samples and 1000 hours hair removal strips, nothing else in the box resembles what was promised in the mailer! Instead, I have gotten:

1. Hydrogel eye mask from Leader’s Clinic (tried before and am not impressed with it),
2. Apricot and Evening Primrose face mask from Beauty Buffet (selling at Watsons for the price of $7.95 for 5 pieces),
3. Biore Cleaning Oil Cotton Facial Sheets (tried before and it gave me small bumps all over my face after using it)
4. Loreal White Perfect Laser Essence (generally allergic to Loreal skincare.. god knows why).

Familiar stuff aren't they? Well aren’t they gifts from the free Watsons trove back in August 2012?

Seriously, with more than half of my trove filled with leftovers from a free Watsons trove, I am really disappointed and disgusted with Vanity Trove. It totally felt like Vanity Trove ran out of products from the December list to put in a box and just threw in all the cheap leftovers. What with the disclaimer saying "Each edition of Vanity Trove features any 6-8 items from the key beauty stories. All mixes will be of the same value." I believe I only gotten 3 items out of the 9 featured in the key beauty story and it's hard to believe all mixes are the same value if you do compare the box I received against the other bloggers.


Overall, I think my $30 is better well spent somewhere else probably even on something luxe. Vanity Trove, you have done it and left a bitter taste in my throat. I will think thrice before ordering anything from you again.
