April 2015 TopBox featuring NeoStrata

TopBox has consistently been an excellent beauty subscription box. They typically have great products, their shipping is super fast and they are a Canadian based company.

What I particularly like about TopBox is that they send you an email approximately 3 weeks before your box ships with some options to set your wish list. Typically it is 4 or 5 groups of one, two or items in a collection. If none of the options appeal to you, you can opt to get the regular box.

TopBox costs $12/month, shipping included (but plus tax - $13.80 grand total) and they offer multiple month subscription in 3, 6 and 12 month increments. There are usually 4 beauty samples in each package. Sometimes with the special package there can be fewer items but still within a generous value point.

This month my TopBox selection was NeoStrata skin care. I've not used this brand previously but as I love any skin care products I am game to try.

I am really quite happy with this month's subscription. Value is about $31 which is more than I paid. I really don't care as there are 3 items that I have never used before and I wanted to try a glycolic acid product.

Another winning month from TopBox.
