This is the second time I subscribed LOLABOX. My first time was the February box which turns out dissapointing. I intended to do a blog post but simply didn't have time. I didn't subscribe March box which I regret a lot because of the reviews I have seen that the box contains good stuffs.
This months is a special edition box to celebrate their birthday. It costs cheaper than usual which is 111.000 IDR. The normal subscription cost is 145.000 IDR. So, let's get into the pictures and what I think about them.
THE BOX & THE UNBOXING:
I always love their packaging. Even the brown outer box looked nice! It's secured with the outer box and the sealed plastic. What I like more is the fact that they don't use shipping service, instead of that, they have their own courier. So, I know I can brush away my worry for getting damaged box. This month's box design is so cute with the pattern. Usually the box is just plain color which also gorgeous. My February box has the irridiscent soft lavender color which is absolutely gorgeous. This month's birthday box is so fun with the pattern and somehow match the birthday theme, which is to have fun! If in the February box the goods inside the box are wrapped with pink tissue cloth and satin ribbon, this month's color is orange/peach tissue cloth and satin ribbon which is my favourtie! After you untie the ribbon, you can see how they tidily pack all of the products inside the box, I always love to see it!
WHAT'S INSIDE THE BOX:
The first thing we can see after we open the box is the card that list the products in the box. I always love to have this so I can get informations and what to expect from the products before actually trying them.
1) Lolita Lempicka - The First Fragrance (0,8 ml)
Description from Lolabox: First Fragrance is a fairytale for women. Rich in symbols borrowed from tales of love, it transports us to a world that enchants our daily lives.
This is another Eau de Perfume samples I receive from LOLABOX. I got the Taylor Swift "Wonderstruck" in my February box. If I'm about to compare both of them, I would love Wonderstruck more than this. I just totally in love with that one which unfortunately still couldn't find where I could buy it in Jakarta. Also, Wonderstruck sample size is 1,2 ml which is slightly more than Lolita Lempicka. Let's get back to the Lolita Lempicka alone, I always love this brand's fragrances, and The First Fragrance too! This sample comes in a plastic bottle with a spray pump. For the packaging of the sample, I prefer Wonderstruck for security as it was a glass bottle and airtight caps. But for easier usage/application, spray nozzle/pump on the Lolita Lempicka one is more preferable. Oh yeah, I can't stop smelling this right now anyway. This Product costs 540.000 IDR / 30 ml ; 750.000 IDR / 50 ml ; and 975.000 / 100 ml
2) Facial Masks
a) Leaders Insolution - Derma Soul Bright Mask
Description from Lolabox: This brightening mask restores balance and elasticity to tired and stressed skin. It contains acai berry extract, which is rich in antioxidants and helps to regain your face skin's vitality
b) THEFACESHOP - Mask Sheet
Description from Lolabox: This mask sheet will keep your skin spot free!
I never really into Korean Skin Care, but well, wouldn't hurt to try. Especially, reading the description for the Derma Soul Mask. It's pretty convincing. Also, it's perfectly true that my skin is a tired and stressed skin due to less sleep time. As for the TFS mask sheet, I need to get rid of some spots off my face, but the description is not convincing enough though :( . If I about to compare this month's mask products with the one I got in my February box, this month's is a winner! The February's one is a full size Acnes - Tea Tree Oil Clay Mask. I don't really like tea tree oil products as I have bad experiences in the past with them so I am pretty disappointed. Also, the mask is not something new or hard to find or a bit pricey products that we need to think about before buying one, so I am mostly disappointed with February box because of this. Okay, stop talking about past months box. I can't wait to trying out both of these masks, especially Derma Soul! Derma Soul costs 26.100 IDR / pack. THEFACESHOP costs 20.350 / pack.
3) Cottage - Shower Gel
Description from Lolabox: With its soft, creamy texture, its formula enhanced with a moisturising complex and natural ingredients, and its original, authentic fragrances, it provides all of the benefits of Cottage milk shower in a more economical and ecological package. Plus, it comes in a full size product!
YES! YOU READ IT RIGHT! IT IS A FULL SIZE!
I am so happy when I see this, I was about to shout and whine happily if I don't remember I was still in the office. I get the one with grapefruit smell. So for sure, it smells citrusy. If I have to describe what kind of citrus smell it has, I would say it reminds me and a perfectly similar smell of SUGUS Soft Candy in Orange Flavour. As soon as I get back at home, I take a shower using this. It is what said in the description! It indeed has soft and creamy texture but not sticky as other similar products would tend to be. It doesn't make my skin feels dry which I think is the moisturizing effect but not so noticable. It means, it doesn't do much for my very dry skin. About the original and authentic fragrances part, I don't agree! It is the same smell as my favourite childhood soft candy so it's not authentic yet original! XD . As for the packaging I love it, simple but pretty, and I love the color too! What I love most about the packaging is actually the cap. I don't know how to describe it, but it is thin without so many gaps that usually tends to have spilled out product that dries out. This shower gel costs 58.000 / 250 ml, which is the size I get.
4) Me-Nail - Nail Decorator
Description from Lolabox: Decorate your nails with these pretty nail decorator; the quickest and easiest way to add fun to your nails!
I'm surprised of how much I love this product! I am not into nail accessory person since I think it would be stressful to make everything on my nails stays on long enough. This is something like dried tiny flowers that are so cute and gorgeous. I am not going to use this on my nails, probably would use it on my face and make a cute Japanese inspired spring look. Hopefully I can pull it off. If I am about to compare this nail products to the february's one. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A BIG BIG WINNER! The February's one is a set of nail stickers from Glam It! and it costs 60.000 IDR per set. Another disappointment towards the February Box! But this month's nail decorator is such a lovely thing to get. They don't mention the price of this product on the card, and when I browse through Me-Nail's website, it is not on the list of the products they sell. Such a shame!
5) MAKE OVER - Refill Eye Shadow Palette
Description from Lolabox: Meet your real fantasy with this eyeshadow. The intense texture of this eye shadow will stay perfectly and gives you a glamorous glow all day long!I am glad to receive MAKE OVER Eye Shadow since I am interested to their eyeshadow for quite some time. I get three shades which are Sunset, Gold, and Turquoise. My favourite is Sunset! They are really good eyeshadows, but I might talk more about them on seperate blog post. These eyeshadow are 3,5 grams for each. Now, I think I need an empty palette like Z palette. Lolabox mentions the price as 41.500 IDR but I don't know if the price is for each pan or for all of them together as a set. It was not mentioned but I assume it for all of the three since the word "Palette" is mentioned on the product list card.
6) Attachments : Samples, Coupon Codes, Voucher and other promotional materials.
I got some samples from THEFACESHOP. The one that really interests me the most is the CC Cream since it might comes in my shade. Also I got some voucher and coupon codes which I might use some and not for the others. I also got a booklet contains the Summer Collection of MAKE OVER which is really nice to look at.
OVERALL THOUGHTS:
I was so happy with this box. As for 111.000 IDR price, this is such a good deal if not a steal. Especially because of the shower gel, nail decorator, and the eyeshadow refill. There is none of the products that I hate, even though some of them is not really interesting for me.
