Sale Alert: Fruits & Passion (Canada) + New Subscription Box

fivezero2 Comments

I don’t normally post sales from Fruits & Passion, who are kind of like a French Canadian Bath & Body Works, but I hauled a little bit from them this morning and it is related to a review I posted yesterday for Jelly Pong Pong’s most disappointing Lychee Shower Gel.

Their sales this weekend (both in-store and online) include:

  • Refill Event: Buy 2 refills for $40 (normally $28.50 each) or 3 refills for $50
  • Electric Fragrance Diffuser & Perfume Refills for Electric Fragrance Diffusers: 3 for $24 (reg. $31.50 each)
  • Moisturizing Butters: 5 for $20
  • Foaming Hand Soaps: 3 for $20
  • Assorted travel sizes: 5 for $20
  • Assorted items: 3 for $20

Plus, get 5% cashback with eBates Canada (referral link). Shipping in Canada is free when you spend $45 or more.

I would actually have bought a couple more, but I don’t know what it smells like or how good the body scrub is, so I decided against gambling.

Topbox (Canada) — December 2015

Yeah, I know I’m crazy late with this one, but it’s my last Topbox since I discontinued it, and it arrived over Christmas and got lost among my other packages and things!

By the way, one of the main reasons I unsubscribed from Topbox is that it shares many products with its sister box, Luxe Box. It is pretty dumb that they do this, since why would anyone wish to subscribe to both boxes if they’re going to get so many duplicate products?

What I Received

Regular Topbox

Prices are in CA$ unless otherwise specified.
