My Views
In case you realized how grammatically correct I am in this
post, I am actually typing this on MS word.
Ok, back to the topic
I am kinda disappointed in Vanity Trove this month.
Somewhere in mid-August, I sent them an email enquiring if I will be receiving
this September’s edition of VT. Usually I have my paypal prompting me of
payment deduction but I hadn’t gotten any in August. They replied me telling me
that deduction was done is late July which mean I can look forward to my Sept
edition of VT, which I was really excited.
Fall is like my favourite season, and the whole publicity
got me really anticipating for my trove. I liked them on Facebook so that I can
keep track on their activities and updates. As the previous week was a short
one due to Hari Raya, there was a post on their Facebook wall informing that
all delivery will start on the 27th.
My friend’s sis has already received hers on Sunday. I mean
we live kinda nearby but so far I hadn’t gotten mine yet. I didn’t even receive
any email notification on the delivery notice. I have emailed them but have
only gotten an automated email reply and nothing. No updates! I hope I will receive
them tonight when I get home. However, I
am not keeping my hopes up since I hadn’t even gotten any delivery notice
email. If they really missed out my order this month, maybe I don’t think I want
to continue my subscription with them.
Among the 3 beauty subscription boxes, VT is considered the
most expensive, at $25. So far, it hasn’t disappointed me. Delivery services
are timely and efficient. Their range of products is really awesome and I am
happy to receive them in the mail every month. hopefully this is just a onetime
experience because I am so looking forward to next month’s “Bold and Beautiful”!
On the other hand, Bellabox was awesome this month. Not only
had it come in a really cute edition of I love SG tote recyclable bag, it
brought back many good products. My box came with an Anna Sui eyeshadow,
Philosophy Hope in a Jar cream, China Glaze nail polish etc.
I really like the
benefit poreless product, but I would trade it for anything Anna Sui. I fell in
love with their products when I was at Taiwan. I can see myself getting more products
from Anna Sui in future!
Yes to more nail polishes in my subscription box. China Glaze is a much raved about products in the Youtube beauty community but I never really got a chance to try it. I like my OPI and cheapo $1 nail polishes I got from my market. So I’m gamed to trying new nail polish brands. :]
May my Sept VT come today and I don’t have to wait patiently
for it. :[
I need to plan for Halloween but it’s only August now. STGCC
this weekend, I wanna go get my devilrobots stuff! :D
Sorry I am ranting on this matter. I just want to receive my Trove soon!

Anticipate a box of Surprise: Bella Box
This service is actually quite popular in the US (ie my glam, birch box, Little black box etc). What this service is is every month you will pay a certain amount (subscription fee) and you will be sent a box of samples (ranging from various brands, small to deluxe size) for you to try. It's an interesting concept and it's like a monthly little surprise because you will never know what to expect in the box!
As exciting as it sounds, these is only available in US and they don't know worldwide shipping BUT FRET NOT! Singapore also has such a service! I happen to see my friend posted a picture on her instagram on her Vanity Trove, and I went to do a research and I saw a review on Bella Box. It is relatively cheaper at $15 a month.
I think I signed up and ordered mine late May and I was still able to get my May edition on Monday and my June edition yesterday! The delivery is so prompt and efficient! Without further ado, this is my May and June Box!
Quite awesomely, yesterday I receive an sms to inform that they have delivered my June box! I was so happy since June is my birthday month, this is like my pre-birthday-surprise for myself! I was so eager to rush home to see what I got for June. I like the packaging more for June and it comes with this sweet little box. It kinda reminds me of something you'd get when you purchase at a high-end boutique. I didn't really go look at the website because I didn't wanna spoil the surprise!
I hope the July edition don't disappoint and I'm so looking forward to more surprises and unexpected good finds and love each month. Interested to get your hands on this? It's simple, here's what you need to do in 4 simple steps.

Step 2: Create and account and choose what kind of service you would like, they have a monthly and annual subscription to choose from
