My February Topbox has arrived - does it live up to November?

February's Topbox is the first one I've received since the November one and I was curious to know if it would live up to the company's promise of only sampling the top brands. February's box contains:
Yves Saint Laurent Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils sample
Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat sample
Shu Uemura Art of Hair Full Shimmer Illuminating Shampoo 75ml sample
Lillypilly Kakadu Plum Hand & Body Creme x2 samples
Pari Beauty Eye Shadow in Colour 54 full size (retail $11)

It's a nice box - the mascara and shampoo would be my favourite samples from it but I would have to say it in no way rivals the awesomeness of the November box which had a full sized Cake hand cream and Lippman polish in it! The full size product in February's box was the Pari eyeshadow and I must admit, I've never heard of this brand so I can't agree that it's a top brand. Not that I'm familiar with every single brand in the world (my husband would probably laugh at that but it's true) but I would say that I am at least aware of all the the biggies and even the cult smallies and Pari wasn't anywhere on my radar. Not that I mind discovering something I have never tried - I have heard of Lillypilly but have never tried it so I like receiving those samples of it but as the only full sized product, it is disappointing to get an unknown brand.

Of course the nice thing about sample boxes is every month is something new! I understand that they are sold out at the moment so I'm not sure what month you can sign up for but if you go to the website, you can sign up to be notified as soon as there are available subscriptions!

 Check it out at www.topbox.ca.

Is anyone subscribed and if so I would love to know what you think of your monthly samples up to now!
