Hi Loose Button Community!
We are excited to be partnering with FLARE, Canada’s Fashion Magazine to bring you a limited edition FLARE Luxe Box. This month, we have painted our classic black Luxe Box red to embody the essence of FLARE in celebration of the month of love. We have also redesigned several other details in the Luxe Box, including choosing the exact shade of red, creating the FLARE tissue for this month’s Luxe Boxes and revamping our product card!

After 30 years, FLARE continues to be the magazine Canadian women turn to for the latest information on fashion, beauty, health, and entertainment. Fashion and beauty go hand in hand, and in February, your Luxe Box will give you a fun, exciting, and convenient way of trying new beauty products that you usually get combined with expertise from FLARE editors.
Lisa Tant, Editor-in-Chief of FLARE says it well when she describes the Luxe Box experience: “Nothing says indulgence quite like a box of beauty products delivered straight to your door!”

Please use the comment section below, Facebook, or Twitter to let us know what you want you think of this month’s redesigned Luxe Box. Also, let us know what future collaborations you’d like to see, and we will work hard to get them for you.
February is the month of love, and Loose Button is just trying to spread a little more of it!
The Loose Button Team <3

At Loose Button, we are passionate about redefining the discovery experience when it comes to quality beauty products. Ever since the first Luxe Box was introduced in early 2011, the Loose Button community has grown by leaps and bounds, making it the largest beauty subscription service of its kind in Canada! Over 280,000 beauty products have been sampled so far by the community, and we continue to add great brand partners such as Calvin Klein, Prada, Benefit Cosmetics, Moroccanoil, Lise Watier every month.
Our team comprises of talented and ambitious individuals who bring a diverse set of experiences from the beauty, publishing, retail, social media and technology industries. Not only that, we count on the support of individuals such as Harry Rosen, the former president and publisher of The Toronto Star and the former President of YSL Beauty as part of our advisory board. Our growth hasn’t gone unnoticed. We have been featured in Toronto Star, National Post, The Globe & Mail, Elle Canada and many more in the past year alone.
We see even faster growth on the horizon and are looking to grow once again! We have listed some of our open positions below. If any of the positions interest you, please send us an email at careers@loosebutton.com with your resume/cover letter with the appropriate job title in the subject line (e.g. – “[Brand Manager] My resume!”). We look forward to hearing from you!
Here is a quick peak at what it is like to work at Loose Button:
- We’re not your ordinary group of people. Our team is led by a Top 40 under 40 and made up of accomplished and entrepreneurial individuals who are emerging experts in their own field.
- Every team member actively contributes to the strategy and direction of the business in a meaningful way. It’s much more than a job. It’s a way of life.
- There’s never a dull day because we’re always innovating and pushing the boundaries with what’s possible. Entrepreneurship is in our blood.
- Challenges don’t faze us. We accept them as the reality of our business and hire people who are ready to face them every day.
- In the end, it all boils down to attitude. If you love learning in a fast-paced (very fast) environment, then this might just be the right experience for you.
