Perfecting the Art of Conversuasion

Summer Beauty: Luxe Box by Loose Button

By

Note: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only. 

Three words: BEST. IDEA. EVER.

Q: What do you do if you’d love to try out the poshest brands in makeup, fragrance, body and hair care – but don’t know where to begin? Or, don’t have the money to splurge?

Luxe Box is a Canadian monthly subscription service that delivers 3-5 deluxe-sized beauty samples to your doorstep in a chic box. The samples, often deluxe or full-sized, have been hand-picked by a team of beauty experts who aim to select the highest quality, on-trend products from luxury and elite brands. 

Luxe Box is just $12 per month – but can contain a total value of $50 or more!

Receiving a Luxe Box is as easy as 1-2-3:

1. Sign up with a monthly, quarterly or yearly membership. I would recommend starting with a 1 or 3 month membership to get a feel for the service and products, and then – hello! Treat yourself to a year, baby!

2. Create a beauty profile so your Luxe Box can be customized to your skin type and tone (where applicable).

3. Wait with bated breath for your Luxe Box to arrive, and have yourself a merry little beauty fest! Luxe Box is the perfect just because gift (who wouldn’t love to receive a surprise in the mail?) and at $120, an annual subscription for yourself, or a favourite gal in your life, doesn’t exactly break the bank either. How I wish the Luxe Box had been around years ago for my bridesmaids gifts – it would have been an awesome way to say thank you – month after month!

Also, think about what you spend $12 on in a given month. I just spent that today parking downtown for 2.5 hours! Instead, set aside six toonies and try out some of the most sought after products from Clinique, Elizabeth Grant, Balmshell, Bobbi Brown, Christian Dior and more. LOVE that you have the opportunity to sample deluxe-sized luxury goods for a fraction of the cost.

I received the most awesome Luxe Box by Loose Button!

THE OH-SO-CHIC BOX
PRODUCT INSERT DESCRIBES CONTENTS AND USES
WOOT! FULL-SIZED LAURA MERCIER EYE COLOR!

Pictured Above, from left to right: Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant, Laura Mercier Eye Colour in Rosé (Full Size), Joico Colour Therapy Restorative Styling Oil and Consonant Organic Foaming Face Wash (Full Size). 

A full-sized Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant (75g) retails for $72, which is a splurge I would likely never undertake in this lifetime, unless it was a truly remarkable product. And now, thanks to Loose Button, I can try out a smaller version (13g) of this cult-favourite before forking over $$$ (which I will gladly do if it turns out to be awesome). I’ll keep y’all posted!

From Loose Button: “Finally you can say goodbye to those pushy sales people at the cosmetic counter and  stop wasting your money on pricey products that just end up in the garbage. Luxe Box by Loose Button is fundamentally changing the way consumers are trying and discovering beauty products.” Agreed!
