Bazar D'mila

Imagine that you could test out luxury brands without making a commitment to buy at full price. Imagine that the products would magically appear at your door-step. Imagine cutting down on wasted products and only buying the ones that work for you. 

Stop imagining because the brilliant on-line social shopping brand, Loose Button, is bringing this to all beauty consumers! What is Loose Button? Loose Button gives beauty lovers the opportunity to try out deluxe size samples from a variety of brands, sent to you in a chic box with free shipping all for a monthly fee of $9.95 CAD (right now the program is invite-only and you only pay a one time fee for your first luxe box). 

The samples are deluxe or travel size and have enough product to thoroughly test for at least a month. You also receive about 4 items per order and each box is a surprise! The products are chosen by real beauty editors so you know the items you will be receiving are the best. 

This is the lovely box I received the products in - cute isn't it? I was ecstatic to open this pretty little present and couldn't wait to see what was inside. 

The presentation of the box is very impressive. When you first open the box, a card with product information is included along with a message from Loose Button. It's a nice touch especially if you are not familiar with the products.

My box included: 

Call me spoiled, but I was a bit underwhelmed by what was in the box because I had tried both the Benefit and Balmshell products - not to say I don't love these products but it's always nice to try something new. However, being a hand cream junkie I was really happy to try the Ahava hand cream  and the myfaceworks hydrating mask, similar to SKII's. I receive so many products almost on a daily basis to test, but for someone that doesn't you would be overjoyed to receive these products, no?

Would I pay for this convenient service? No. I think the price is reasonable and according to some market research done by Loose Button many of you said you would pay up to $15 if there were more samples in the box, more luxury brands, and you were able to customize the box according to your needs. I'm lucky enough to receive products all the time so this service wouldn't benefit me. However, if you are a regular beauty consumer who doesn't have the same opportunity I would definitely recommend this service.

Women spend so much on beauty products every month. Beauty counters don't always give you samples especially deluxe sizes. With the Loose Button service you will save money and cut down on consumer waste. I mean, how many of you have products laying around that you don't use or end up giving away? Another great aspect is that you won't have to deal with that pushy sales person. You can test the products in the convenience of your own home and make a clear decision on whether it works for you or not.

My only other issue was not being able to choose the products. According to their research, most of you prefer an expert picking out beauty products that suit you. It is helpful if you are not familiar with the product and don't know how to use it, but for those that do know what works I think there should be an option to choose your own.

Overall, I think it's a great service for you beauty lovers that love testing and trying new products. I really think the presentation and customer service is wonderful. It's also a terrific way to treat yourself every month - because you deserve it!
