SPRING 2015 Luxe Box by Loose Button ♡ BENE-BOUTIQUE ♡ Upgrade!

I AM SO EXCITED!!!! I feel like I have been waiting FORever for this Luxe Box to arrive!! It's only felt so long because typically the Luxe Box for the spring season ships in March; But, because I upgraded to the Bene-Boutique, it wasn't promised to ship until mid-April! (They under-promised and over-delivered which is awesome because it arrived before mid-April!)

I am really excited about this upgrade because I can finally try out some of Benefits most popular and raved about products without having to go out and purchase the full sized items!

If you are new to my blog or you don't know who/what Luxe Box is, they're a quarterly subscription beauty box! Which means you receive a beauty box four (4) times a year, for each season (winter, spring, summer and fall, of course!) You typically get 7-8 mystery beauty products! They range from sample size, to deluxe sample sizes to full size products! The 7-8 items you receive with each box are always a mystery unless you upgrade! Typically Luxe Box will send out an e-mail offering an "upgrade" to your box. These are usually seasonally themed (so for this winter there was a "Chalet Chic" upgrade and in the spring there could be one called "Flower Child", etc.) When you upgrade, you are guaranteed certain items (so if you're interested in what the upgrade has to offer OR you don't like the element of surprise, you are always welcome to upgrade your box.) If you're interested in more info or you want to sign up, you can click here!!!

Let's get right to it because I'm excited! (I also have a video of this unboxing, if you are also interested in watching that, click here!)

 

Packaging. Need I say more? Amazing!! It looks like an advent calendar and what is more fun than that?! Thank you Benefit/Luxe Box for making this packaging so fun. I can have fun taking something out of a box at 20-something years old! Woohoo! Super fun. 

On the back, of course, all the products inside are listed here. I will go more into detail about these products, don't strain to try and read them on the box! (Though from their tiny pictures, you can probably already tell what products they are!) 

As per usual, Loose Button always provides a little note outlining exactly what is included in this seasons Luxe Box. This card, because I have upgraded my box, is all about my Bene-Boutique products! This upgrade also came with a free brow wax and tint from a Benefit Beauty Bar.  

These of course (above) go into depth about each product included in this Luxe Box Bene-Boutiqe upgrade! 

How CUTE is this card?! Benefit, you have and always have had great packaging! 

Have you guys ever been to a Benefit Brow Bar? What was it like?! I am excited!! 

Another great bonus of subscribing to Luxe Box is they (almost) always give you a bonus, bonus item! Like this Stila eyeshadow in Jezebel! I am pretty sure this item might've been free? And all you had to do was click the "upgrade" button and they added it to your Luxe Box! So duh, I could always use another eyeshadow. Below is this eyeshadow swatched. Natural lighting, no flash. 

I am really excited to start using this eyeshadow in future looks! It's a rusty-gold colour. There is gold reflect but the colour is a warm, not-quite-red, brown. I feel like "rust" is a good way to describe this colour! It's so buttery smooth and super pigmented! Definitely keep an eye out on my YouTube channel for a look featuring this colour! 

Now, lets view all the items my Luxe Box had to offer this month! 

So these are all of the items that were inside that cute little Benefit advent looking calendar. The Stila eyeshadow, of course, was an added bonus and the envelope with the Loose Button logo comes in every Luxe Box outlining exactly what you received this season!

The first item I unveiled when opening my Benefit box was the POREfessional primer! 

All of these little samples were SO cute. I feel like the size of the samples given were a good amount! I love samples of any kind, but when they're those "one time use" samples, I can't get a good enough idea of how the product works each day! It's hard to tell how well a product works after one use. 

The next item I received in my Bene-Boutique box was They're Real mascara! 

I am very picky when it comes to mascara so I am so excited to try this one out! Of course, I have heard SO much about this mascara, I can't wait to try it myself! I also love these little sample sizes, they're perfect for traveling! 

The next item revealed in this box was Gimmie Brow! 

This is a nice bonus as this is actually the full sized product! This is in the shade "light/medium" which is perfect for me! I have heard that this product is also awesome to use if you don't have time to fill in your eyebrows with a pomade or pencil, this product does a good job of plumping your brows on its own! You can expect to see this in a "5 Minute Makeup Challenge" video! 

The next item was the It's Potent Eye Cream! 

This is probably the item I have heard the least about! Which makes me extra excited to use it as I don't really know what to expect! Luckily, I do not have dark under eye circles but I am trying to take steps to better my skincare routine! Whether I have obvious dark circles or not, I feel like adding an eye cream can't hurt! I will definitely take some before and after photos, with and without this eye cream!

The last item I un-boxed was the BeneTint! I love multi-use products so I can't wait to see how this product performs as a lip AND cheek tint! 

How CUTE!! I can't get over these adorable little sample sizes. This one, however, does look like a vial of blood. 

STILL EXCITING NONETHELESS! This colour looks sassy. It (obviously) looks red, but I wonder how it will translate after being applied to my skin! Will it be a subtle touch of rosy red or will it be a sexy full-bodied red!? Oh the possibilities!!! I guess I will just have to try it out! 

So those were all of the products I received this season in my Luxe Box Bene-Boutique upgrade! If you want more information you can click here! If you want your own Luxe Box by Loose Button, you can click here! You can definitely expect to see a blog in the near future with all of my opinions about each product! 

Have you tried any of these products? What are your favourite Benefit beauty items!? Let me know!
