Hot from Oven.. yes! Just received this afternoon :-)

September VT theme Fall in Love.. 

Here goes...enjoy..

Came with 2 workshops..

1. Sally Hansen Nail Care Art Workshop.

15 sept 10-1pm or 2-5pm

at Full House Theme cafe, Rendevous Gallery Hotel

$38 per pax (include $100 goodie bag)

2. La Mer Ageless skincare workshop

6-9 Sept 10-12pm/ 3-5pm/7-9pm

$80 per pax /$120 for 2 paxs (Fully redeemable for La Mer products)

Was looking through the card, thought they sent me wrong stuffs. Saw the mascara and DKNY perfume in the card but couldn't find the them in the trove. Had to read carefully, the stuffs in the trove are actually written in the card. Small prints.

Good Skin Lab Serum - Smooth 365 intensive clarity and smoothing peptide serum (20ml). Came with a SASA $5 voucher. Can use on selected SASA products min purchase $30.

Rimmel London Eyeshadow- 014 Bold Behaviour

Essie Nail Polish Full size , colour Penny Talk

Oilum Body cleanser and Revitalizing Lotion (20ml each)

Watsons treats - Leaders in solution Hydragel and Montagne Jennesse Masque

Princess Pinki Magic Pink Cream. 

Got this info from google. Formulated with natural plant extracts to remove dark pigment of lips, skin, nipple (??) and pubic area (??????) and treats skin discoloration due to smoking, breastfeeding, ageing etc. Pinkness last for 1 to 3 days and is waterproof. Made in Korea. 

Lastly, Shu uemura skin purifier.

My Verdict :

I love that there are 2 make-up items in this months trove. The colors for the Rimmel eyeshadow is something that I would use and the Essie nail polish colour is really nice. Other than that, the rest I would probably give it away. Firstly, the Oilum products, I have tons of these stuff.. the packaging looks a bit old, when it came, some lotion leaked out so the trove was a bit oily.

The 2 workshops sounds interesting especially La Mer, but then again I am away for holiday on both workshops , so this is useless to me.

This month is my last subscription to VT. Not sure whether to continue , will decide later. 

Am comparing Bellabox which is $15 (new subscription $19, I think) with VT at $25 , both subscriptions have almost similar products but VT cost more. What do you think?

Bellabox May

This is a late write-up on Bellabox May. This is what I got for Bellabox May:

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails

Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Gold Ultra Restorative Capsules

Essential Damage Care Nuance Airy Shampoo and conditioner

Enavose Cellogist Youth Guard Cream

Macadamia Natural Hair oil

My Verdict :

this months product were alright. A few things I like and dislike. I like the full size Sally Hansen nail hardener. The Enavose Cellogist was interesting to try. the things that i don't like are the two bottles of shampoo and conditioner. i was kind of hoping to receive something not easily available in market for me to try. i can easily purchase this in Watsons for $2-$3 a bottle. besides I received the same shampoo from Vanity Trove May. another thing was the ugly looking bag that contains all theses products. I really adore Vanity Trove little drawer box but of course Vanity Trove is $25 and Bellabox is $15, essentially getting the same things inside but the difference of $10 for the box.   Bellabox please bring back the box.

thank you for looking. this is not a sponsored review.
