I’ve heard so much good reviews from my friend, Ashley about this beauty box. thelilacbox!
Their motto:- Blind Date In A Box”. Every month, we deliver specially hand-picked premium beauty products. And we send them to you in a box, wrapped with a bit of love.
Also, they mentioned about ‘premium’ products will be included in the box.
They have limited number of boxes and often sold out within a week or sometimes less. *Very laku*
I’ve missed out their Box 1, 2 and 3. But I managed to grab their first Concept Box. My first experience with Decleor’s skincare and also the lilac box. No complain about the content and packaging. Simply great!
Box 4 was their latest box. I received it as a birthday present from my friends. 😉 Honestly I like the packaging, plus the effort to put a nice ribbon with Jimmy Choo’s print. Moreover the box quality is not those lembik ones. I’ll definitely recycling the box for other usages.
A sneak peek on the contents. So full right?
Products by Sothys (15ml each). I’ve heard about Sothys. But this would be my first experience on using their products. Yet to try it. hehe….

What? I’m getting 2 pieces of perfume samples in a box?! Oh wow. Both are Jimmy Choo’s fragrance in different scent.
I preferred the scent of Jimmy Choo’s latest FLASH! These are handy for traveling purposes. Easy to keep them in handbags 😉
I noticed my friends receiving different colors. That’s sometimes nice of the team to provide different colors so that if people who dislike theirs can choose to trade with others.
O.P.I Nail Lacquer (Full Size 15ml) Retail Price : RM63.
My first O.P.I nail color. *Hepi*! I like my nail color.
Verdict : No wonder my friend praises the box so much. I’m gonna continue subscribing Box 5 when they announce the sale. For the price of RM49.90/box (inclusive delivery), I’m pretty happy with the content. At least I’m not receiving samples in sachet form or plenty of vouchers which I hardly use.
