| November TopBox revealed! |
Benefit Cosmetics Air Patrol
Air patrol BB Cream eyelid primer contains an EnviroDefend complete known to help guard your eyelids agains sun and pollutants. It also extends the wear of eyeshadow for long lasting colour that won't crease, fade, or smear.
4.0ml $38. Available at Shopper's Drug Mart and Sephora.
I like that it does keep my eye-shadow put (no flaky mess on my face from misdistribution of powder). Compared to other Benefit eye primers I have used, however, it is more difficult to control how much comes out of the container, as it's a squeeze container vs a padded brush. This means more waste of product.
At this price point, you don't want to waste any of this eyelid primer!
Nova Scotia Fisherman eXtreme Skin Care Lip Balm
Our lip Care is created using 100% natural ingredients and contains 93% organic materials. Apply as needed.
9.5ml $6.99. Available at NovaScotiaFisherman.com
I am still not very fond of Fisherman's products. I was not keen on the smell of this lip balm, and you can actually feel the salt within it. The container includes a push bottom, so you push the bottom to get more balm up, and I put the lid down to squish it down.
It isn't very long lived on my lips, and I love my lip balm - especially during the fall and winter seasons.
Revlon Professional Style Masters Modular Hairspray
Spray Modular Hairspray on dry hair. For best results, hold about 30 cm away from the hair. Medium Hold Hairspray, perfect for everyday use.
500 ml $19.95. Available at Professional Salons Across Canada
This is an aerosol spray can sample, and should last me quite a bit. It DOES have that typical hairspray smell (a little bit less than basic store sprays), and leaves my hair quite sticky while holding down my whisps.
It DOES have staying power though - and held my curls in for a party - 7 hours - and my hair was still somewhat intact in the morning. For my hair, this is a feat, as it's fine consistency generally leads to floppy curls really quickly. I did not even have to cake on too much spray either.
This was a redeeming factor with me.
The Face Shop Character Mask
Wash face. Pull out the mask and carefully place it on the face. Remove after 10-15 minutes and tap lightly to absorb the remaining essence into the skin.
3 masks for $9. Available in stores and online at thefaceshop.ca as of December 2015
When I saw this mask, I was so stoked to put it on my face! It was SO cute!
The application wasn't perfect (with this type of mask, it normally isn't as people's faces are so different), and once I was able to smooth it on to the best of my ability, I let it soak in for 15-20 minutes.
There was no noticeable scent, and it was cooling to the skin. It didn't tear and was a good quality mask.
It scared Husband more than it scared Merlin (our African Grey parrot).
Don't wear this mask if you want to get lucky.
I think this would be a great girl's night mask, as it's silly, and would make for a memorable evening.
After I removed the mask, my skin was quite soft and my redness had disappeared.

Until December's kit, happy shopping!
