I ordered my second box of Vanity Trove just before Christmas and they were having holiday so I just received the box on January 2nd. If you haven't read my first Vanity Trove post, this beauty subscription box is basically offer a different service than other beauty boxes out there because Vanity Trove allows you to actually pick the items that you want to receive. You can choose from a selection of products that have been catered and customized to suit your personal skin tone, preference, etc (based on the beauty profile that you filled in on the website).

I did my second order of this VT box during christmas time so they include a "Happy Holiday" note card inside the box. I think it's a very sweet gesture, although I don't celebrate christmas but it still makes me feel appreciated as a customer. The card was signed by Veronica a.k.a Vanity Trove mascot ^o^

So last month I picked out a couple of items from my curated product selections and most of them were samples, but they're the ones that I'm actually been curious with, so I don't really mind choosing the small samples because I know that I'm gonna use it and won't throw it away.

I think of this box as my new year gift so it's a little bit something extra for me to start the new year. There were also not too many options on my personal product selection at that time, but I think I managed to picked the ones that I do really want to try and would definitely enjoy using. So here are the items that I chose for my 2nd Vanity Trove box:

 In no particular order:

Crabtree & Evelyn Wisteria Body Lotion

Crabtree & Evelyn Himalayan Blue Body Lotion

Crabtree & Evelyn Rosewater eau de toilette

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair (samples)

Clarins Extra Firming Day Cream

iShine Moisturizing Lipstick in Rose Belle

Most of them are in sachets especially the Crabtree & Evelyn ones which seems to always comes in small samples. But I've been curious with the variants of their scents so I wanted to know what the scents would smells like. Crabtree & Evelyn are also expensive here so I wanted to try enough of their products first before I went to their store and decided to buy something. I can't wait to try the body lotion samples above because I'm wondering if I would like the formula as much as I like the scents.

The real size product in this box is the iShine Moisturizing Lipstick which is a newly launched cosmetic brand. There used to be an eyeshadow trio in my product selection tab at the VT website, but apparently they ran out of them so I didn't get a hold of them. Note: samples options in VT ran out very fast, so if you see something you like in your product selection tab then get your hands on it and ordered the box right away ;)

Out of the items that I picked in this box I am most excited with the Crabtree & Evelyn samples. I also have actually tried the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair a long time ago but didn't see any results, but I was lazy back then and didn't use it properly or frequent enough. So when I saw the samples showed up in my product selections tab I picked it right away and decided to try this cult product again to see if it really works this time.

The iShine Lipstick is the only thing that I used straightly from the box! I got the shade Rose Belle which is a pretty pink lipstick that I can wear every day. I totally love the iShine lipstick and will make a proper review of it soon. Meanwhile, they also thrown in lots of discount vouchers in the box. I got a discount voucher for Crabtree & Evelyn, and also a lot of vouchers for iShine products which you can get at C&F Perfumery. I saw it in the Kemang Village Mall the other day so I might go back to that mall to see the iShine products offered. If the other iShine products are as good as this lipstick then I would like to have a look at them ;p
