October Black Box

I heard of Black Box a long time ago, and I signed up for it. But I don't really know how it worked. Cause some people actually managed to get this free box, and I wanted one too. Last month they emailed us saying how their website has change and you can ballot for a free box. You can secure a free box just by paying for $6 shipping. They only had 500 boxes for that.

I wasn't very interested in the October box when I saw the participating brands. So I wouldn't pay $6 for it. But I did try to ballot for it. I did not know I was successful as all I did was click the link and put my email address and they told me I am eligible for balloting. Then I had to log in but I did not know my password and I'm just lazy to check my email.

Anyway there was another email saying everything was sold out and 1500 boxes were successfully given out to the winners. A few days later I got an email saying my box will be sent to me between a certain time. It was like winning a lottery. How awesome!

So this is the box. Sorry for the longwinded story, but that's practically how Black Box work. If you're in Singapore, just sign up, try your luck. The next one is for December box, but the balloting has not start? I am not sure. I only got the email for securing the box.
So far, all I did was do a short survey online after I got the box to win full-sized products. That's it. They never ask you to do anything, not even ask you to refer to friends. But good things must be shared right? And it's unisex, so it's really for everyone. Then again it's free. You can always pass it to anyone of you don't like it.

So I received a card with the description of the product like where to buy, how to use and also some discount coupons.
Lovemore Snailmucin Repairing Eye Patch.

VDL CC Cream has SPF 25. Have not try this yet, but it's great to have for upcoming mini vacations.

Bifesta Cleansing Lotion (sebum) is a really cool product. It's a makeup remover and cleanser at the same time. You don't need to wash your face after using this. Just rinse it if you want. A product after my own heart. The samples come with cotton pads, but I think the full size is just the lotion.

Darlie Enamel Protect Toothpaste who doesn't love free toothpaste? It's a travel size which probably cost $2 if you buy from Watsons.

Zappy Sampler Pack now this is cool.

Look at that, it's all in wipes form and it has different type of purpose. I like the sunscreen one. How cool to use sunscreen with a wipe. It's just so easy and unique. Plus it's SPF50. I also like the insect repellent and well everything. Cause it's all really useful to me. Per pack will cost around $2 - $5.50 and different type of wipes will contain different quantity. But I really think Zappy is really neat. Love it. Great to have for traveling or on the go.

Lastly, I got Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Oil which is a multi-purpose dry oil. I haven't have this so it's nice to get it. It can be use for the face, body or hair. This is shimmery which I think will be nice to use for parties while keeping your skin moisturized. I have an idea, put it all over your body and you can be the Cullen for Halloween, even though it's over but I only think of it. Anyway, I like to put this at the ends of my hair to give them an extra sparkle. It doesn't has a scent or anything though.

So ya that's it for my free Black Box.

Givenchy Le Rose Perfecto Lip Balm

This is in the shade 201, creamy and a hint of light milky pink. I like that it is pretty, but the shade doesn't really suit me. What I like best is that they can engrave your name on the packaging. So it is pretty.

Beauty Uk Baked Blush

A red blush looks really intimidating on the box but I picked this up cause I want something different for my collection. It's just a cardboard box kind of packaging, secured with magnet, so it's really simple. It's quite big and like all baked product, it's dome in shape. So it's actually quite bulky. I wouldn't bring it for travel that's for sure. The color payoff is good, but instead of red it's more pink. You can use it sparingly and it will be lighter or you can pack on the color which will gives you a really bright pink. In fact, if lightly dust over your cheek it is more coral than pink. It has tiny specks of shimmer, but it doesn't show. I can't remember how much I bought this for but it wasn't expensive. It's not my favorite blush, but I find myself reaching for it a lot. So that's something isn't?
