Vanity trove July 2013


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.
  1. Kose Infinity Deep Protection UV SPF 50+ PA++++ (Sample)
  2. Maybelline New York HyperComos Eyeshadow in LV-1 (Full Size)
  3. Origins Plantscription Anti-aging serum (Sample)
  4. Essential Rich Premier Shampoo (Additional sample thrown in by VT)
  5. Dr.Ci:Labo Aqua-Collagen-Gel (Sample)
  6. Astalift Jelly Aquarysta (Sample)
  7. Astalift Essence Destiny (Sample)
I very much love this change in VT box. This way of getting a sample box as will mean that my box will always be filled with new things I truly wanted to try without anything going to waste. The shampoo has gone to my sister as it contains dimethicone, something I am allergic to.

Sorry that there will be no reviews for the items yet as I have only started using the eyeshadow and Dr.Ci:Labo Aqua-Collagen-Gel, but both items really meets my expectations, if not more! I definitely look forward to trying all of them!

New Aqualabel Collagen GL Cream

Aqualabel has recently launched a new product - Collagen GL Cream, at our local Watsons stores. What it does: Using Aqualabel’s exclusive Aqua Synergy technology, Collagen GL Cream is said to penetrate deeper into the skin layers and deliver moisture as well as effective ingredients into the skin while softening. Touted as a 5 in 1 gel cream, the Collagen GL Cream is supposed to be able to replace your lotion-emulsion-cream-essence-mask in one step ! Which means in one bottle, you get all the following functions: • Lotion-Softens the skin and prepares it for subsequent skincare • Emulsion-Balance the skin’s natural oil • Essence-Concentrated treatment of double hyaluronic acid and collagen to target dehydration and aging problems • Cream-Hydrating ingredients to retain moisture for long hours • Mask-Works as a sleeping mask to lock in the goodness of Collagen GL and Hyaluronic Acid when skin feels extremely dry. Sounds too good to be true isn't it? Imagine the...

The Little Black Beauty Box - Shiseido

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...
