Subscription Box Reviews

Author Archive

First of all I want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIOLET BOX! They are 1 year old.

This is from their site… Beautiful products for Beautiful people…

Violet Box is a subscription service from Melbourne Australia. They don’t ship to the US but they KINDLY sent me a bag to review. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!

For those who can sub, it’s $16.50 + 6.45 S/H

You get 5-6 samples sent right to your door.

While researching this sub, I found out that this SUPER CUTE bag was a birthday gift. They normally just send products in a black box with purple tissue. I LOVE THIS COMPANY. 🙂

So here are my goodies:

Caddy’s ~ Cosmetic Pouch. It has 2 compartments with lots of pockets. I am so in love with it!

GHD ~ Straight & Tame Cream to help your hair dry straighter and less crazy.

Appelles ~ Blackseed Shampoo & Tamanu Conditioner WOW a box that sends BOTH shampoo and conditioner. *sings* Oh and the smell…rich lavender and sandalwood oils.

Strange Beautiful ~ Nail Polish in bright red and a nude pink creme. Such cute little bottles!

Bioderma ~ Sebium Pore Refiner. a salicylic acid-containing silicone-based primer. It’s supposed to work for oily skin to keep from melting off. Primer melting off I mean. 😛

Chella ~ Brow Pencil. I have Chella products from other subs and I love them!

So, this bag was AMAZING! Like I said before I wish I could subscribe. MAYBE *hint hint* They’ll send me at least one more to review.

Though I was sent this for free, all opinions are 100% mine. ~D

THANK YOU MEMEBOX! I love love love Baby Powder scented ANYTHING. I jumped when I saw this and bought it with NO hesitation LOL. Uh like I ever hesitate with Memebox. 🙂

PRICE: $23 + 6.99 shipping.

Mimi Lauryne’s ~ Perfume Soap French Blossom (100g, $18)
A lovely soft organic soap containing shea butter, olive oil and coconut milk. AMAZING SMELLING! It even came in it’s own box.

Consensus Deodorizer ~ Baby Powder (30ml sample, $0.64)
Ummm love it of course!
Lailly 7 Seconds ~Make-Up Booster (50g $40)
This is a primer, except it’s light blue and smells faintly of baby powder. Kind of confusing. I’m not sure if I’ll use it.I mean, I’m sure it’s not going to make my face blue! 🙂
Happy Fam Deo Fresh Baby Powder wipes (20, $2)
Useful for traveling.

I love this entire box SHOCK SHOCK! I happily paid for it myself and all gooey opinions are mine. ~D There are affiliate links in this post.

Untoxicating Beauty is a eco-friendly beauty subscription box. Unlike other subs that send a variety of brands, Untoxicating Beauty sends out several products from only one eco-friendly brand each month. It’s a  great way to discover new brands! The only drawback is if you don’t like that brand. There is always trading! 🙂

PRICE: The Cost: $35 (Pay via PayPal)

Here is the inside of the box when I opened it. I was kind of alarmed because the box seemed wet. I was worried something leaked all over everything. That wasn’t the case. Just a tiny spill and wiped up. Nothing harmed or ruined. 🙂

Each box comes with a letter detailing the brand featured in the box and why it is “untoxicating.” This month they are featuring The Grapeseed Company.

The top card talks about the company. Mission statement, and such.

Lemon Cake Grapeseed Body Lotion ($19)

Lemon Cake Sugar Body Scrub ($18)

(Ok this is where if you don’t like something… I do not like anything lemon scented) My mom is on cloud 9 though. She loved lemon ANYTHING. She could smell the cake straight away. 😛

100% Pure Grapeseed Oil ($9)

Cali Sun Stick SPF 30 ($13) LOVE LOVE LOVE this. It’s unscented, but it has cocoa butter and coconut.

Travel size sample of the company’s Harvest Crush Syrah Wine Bar organic soap.  smells FABULOUS!

The value of this box is $65. IMPRESSIVE. I’m going to keep subscribing. Just because I didn’t like everything doesn’t mean my family can’t enjoy my treats. (I should have saved the lemon stuff for Christmas! D’oh)

I paid for this box and all opinions are mine. ~D

OMG my June GLOSSYBOX FINALLY arrived. I was beginning to think it got lost in the mail.

PRICE: $21/month.
Ships To: United States.

As you can see it’s SUPER cute this month. I mean, when are they not. I know I growl about them being late, but I keep my sub. I’d be lost without it.

The Stars & Stripes Edition came with a Bonus C. Wonder gift card for anywhere between $5 and $500. YUP mine was $5.

Sumita Beauty ~ Champagne Eye Shadow Pencil ($18): I thought this was  eyeliner, but it’s not!  It’s an eyeshadow pencil!  The color is gorgeous. I will definitely be using this!

Ayres ~ Body Butter (Patagonia) ($4.15) I do not like the smell, but I love the concept. I tested it anyway and a little goes a LONG way. It left my elbow so soft!

Strangebeautiful ~ Colorbloc Polish ($18) One blue and the other red. Exclusively designed for GLOSSYBOX.

Camille Beckman ~ Platinume Gold Imperial Repair Hand Therapy ($10) It’s citrus like. No likey. I love product with almond oil though I I may keep it and just layer it with something else. I mean, it was softening.

Rusk ~ Texture Dry Finishing Spray ($3.37) I don’t use much on my hair so I always get bummed when I get so much of it in BB boxes. Oh well.

Super cute box, very festive and aside from being late, I liked it!
