I was chatting with Beetrice <\/a>one day on the subject of beauty box subscriptions. You know the sort where you pay a fixed sum every month and get surprised by what you receive? It could be a good surprise or a bad one I suppose.<\/p>\n

In most of these boxes, you get 1 full size item if you are lucky (a bottle of nail polish is considered full size!) but if not, you get a bunch of deluxe sized samples from various brands and areas of beauty – makeup, skincare, tools etc. I’ve read of some boxes including coasters and vouchers and even hair ties. I got one containing coffee beans. Erm yeah. Surprise!! \ud83d\ude1b Never said it was going to be a good surprise \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

\"mws<\/p>\n

So there we were chatting randomly about what we could put into a beauty box and a germ of an idea formed. What if I were to have a beauty box subscription? What will I put into my box?<\/p>\n

I’ll call this the “My Women Stuff Beauty Box”** and this box will house 5 items I would put in there, that I think people will like to try. In the vein of a beauty box subscription, there is 1 full size item and 4 sample sizes. This is a recurring subscription and you will be automatically billed or you can pay up front \u00a0for a year! Hurray!<\/p>\n

I’ve also got a few blogging friends to create their boxes and tell us what goes in their boxes so hop along for a peep into mine and theirs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here’s what you can expect to get in the “My Women Stuff Beauty Box”** if you subscribe. Essentially, its stuff I like and that I think you will like too. This is the introductory box \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

  1. Dior Addict Extreme lipstick<\/a>\u00a0(click for review) – full size (I chose Plaza but you get your choice of colour, yay!) I love Dior Addict lipsticks so naturally I wanted you to have one of your very own!<\/li>\n
  2. Melvita floral water spray<\/a>\u00a0(click for review) – sample size (your choice of floral water, yay!) I have been using these floral waters a lot recently. I use them in lieu of a lotion or toner and I love it! It dampens my skin and helps skincare absorb better. My favorite is the Rose one. Also excellent to cool down on a hot day, mist skin in dry air and set makeup.<\/li>\n
  3. Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair serum<\/a>\u00a0(click for review) – sample size. This helped my skin recently in recovering from breakouts and general dullness. I mix it with the Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery serum but you’ll have to wait and see if you get that in the next box!<\/li>\n
  4. Clinique Moisture Surge<\/a>\u00a0(click for review)- sample size. Been using this a lot too. In the day as a light moisturizer and at night, sometimes as a sleeping mask. Reminded how much I like it.<\/li>\n
  5. Kanebo Blanchir Make Off Conditioner<\/a>\u00a0(click for review)- sample size. For taking off makeup at the end of a long work day, I love this one. The first cleansing oil I ever used and one I intend to return to.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I’d probably also toss in a couple of packs of cotton pads because every girl needs cotton pads. All items come to you in a sturdy red box lined with luxurious white tissue and tied with a white bow.<\/p>\n

    How much will a box like this cost? Initial projections price this luxury beauty box at RM90\/month. Considering the lipstick is already RM98 and you get shipping free**, I’m on the losing end and you get a steal, yes? \ud83d\ude09 But here’s the beauty of it – you don’t know what you’re getting next month! A little bird tells me we can expect a French brand that starts with G – Guerlain or Garnier? Surprise! \ud83d\ude1b Book early because only very limited boxes will be sold**<\/p>\n

    If this box isn’t to your taste, here’s what my blogging friends have put into their boxes. All posts have been published simultaneously so I am just as curious as you are to find out what are in their boxes!<\/p>\n
