I looked at the contents and thought they were fun and neat- but that I also have tons of unopened lipgloss and mascara and am trying to get through that first.
The brands that were sent this month are great! I have not tried very much from these brands at all yet (other than Benefit).
What was received in my Topbox:
*Belvada Cosmetics: Mini Eyelash Curler. Full size item! Value $5.99
I like that this is a Canadian brand and this looks like a cute item to add to my travel makeup bag. Usually I use a heated lash curler as this works well for me. Having tried other similar last curlers, I'm sure this one is fine.

Also, I've noticed that on the Topbox card there is a maple leaf to show what brands are Canadian companies. This is a great idea, but the lash curler is made in China (for some people this can be an issue).
*benefit Cosmetics: sugarbomb ultra plush lip gloss. sample size 6.5ml tube, value $8.26/ full size 15ml, $19.
This lip gloss is quite generous for a "sample size" being at almost half the retail product! In an earlier Topbox I did receive the Dandelion powder and gloss (super cute set) and the lip gloss is very similar in colour and texture. I'm tempted to save this gloss for later, since I just opened the other one.
*Jelly Pong Pong Cosmetics : Fairy Lashes mascara. Full size product, 8ml/ value $24!
I love getting full size items in my subscriptions, it is always fun and a great way to trial a product.
I have heard of this brand before and know they have some cute eye shadow palettes. But I have never seen their cosmetics where I shop or may have been tempted to pick some up.
The mascara looks interesting and the description states "formulated to make eyelashes flutter and flap".
Now I am not too sure how this will translate into a look, but I will try this later today!
The JPP website claims this mascara is water-resistant and a mix of black and blue pigment for more dark lashes. It is quite humid and rainy here today, a good time to test this mascara.
update: just tried the mascara and it gives the look of long thin lashes and is quite nice! Will have to try it during the day when I am going outside.
*Lise Watier: SOLO Eyeshadow. Full size product, 2g/ value $18!
Lise Watier is another Canadian brand and based in Quebec. This eyeshadow is also made in Canada!
The eyeshadow is light and has a fine texture. The colour BLUE CURACAO is a shimmery light blue- very much like a sky blue I'd say. This is one of those makeup shades that I think you need to be careful wearing as it is easy to look like you are going to the disco on the 1970's.
My overall impression of the June 2013 Topbox:
I am quite pleased with the variety and brands that are offered. The full size and deluxe size items are a great way to trial a product.
Also I have not tried much from most of these brands and have bought some benefit makeup before, but not lately. The value for this box is also great at $45.00 for what cost me $12.00
