Hey Beautiful Ladies,
I'm so sorry it has been so long but I have a lot of things going on at the moment as I am planning my trip to Cambodia/Thailand which is only 4 weeks away!!! I have also had the honour of organizing my sister's bachelorette party. So as you can imagine, around working full time, I have been very busy. But it is that wonderful time of the month when the beauty boxes start arriving and I have had two boxes sitting on my shelves unopened for a whole weekend.
So enough chit chat... I opened Violetbox first, as i'm sure you all do too. Following their Anniversary box last month I thought this month might be a bit of a step down because they had an AMAZING collection of goodies last month.
What did I get???
The box felt slightly empty this month but I am very happy with what I received.
1. Skin & Co Truffle Therapy Serum RRP $75.00 for 30ml Sample Size 5ml
This product is very exciting. Truffles are considered a luxury and often connected with food so I am looking forward to seeing their effects as a beauty product. The product card states to apply under your moisturizer over your face and neck to help hydrate your skin and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Whilst I don't have too many wrinkles being in my early 20's I do like to look after my skin and I am in full support of trying new things. The sample bottle states to apply twice daily which confuses me as to how much to apply as the sample is 1/6th of the full size and it is very small. I know a small amount of product goes a long way but I am interested to see how long the sample will last me.
2. Sukin Skin Purifying Facial Mask RRP $15.00 for 100ml Sample Size 16ml
I have lots of Sukin products in my household including body lotions, shower wash and hand soap. They are always really great quality and very affordable. I like receiving brands I am familiar with from time to time and like that Sukin is easy to find. I am definitely going to repurchase this item in the future if I have a positive experience so I will try one mask and my mum wants to try the other so im sure she will raid my beauty boxes to find it. These are the kind of foil packets that I don't mind.
3. KMS California Hair Play Molding Paste RRP $33.00 for 100ml Sample Size 20ml
So this product isn't very exciting for me because I have long hair and don't like to use gels or molding products, I much prefer hair spray or mousse. My brother however does use them and I have given him this one as a travel size to take with him overseas this month. It is scent free, a decent size sample and in his words "its alright."
4. LAQA & CO Sheer Lip Lube Pencil RRP $20.00 Full Size in shade Stranger Danger
So this "Lip Lube" was the sneak peak this month and I got really excited when I seen it. There was 5 colours you could have received and I really wanted the coral colour Bee's Knees, but I am still really happy with this pink shade. It smells like mint and is very refreshing to wear. It looks very bright in the tube but as you can see in the swatch below it is just enough colour but still slightly sheer. It is very moisturizing to wear also.
5. Dr. Hauschka Lavender Sandalwood Calming Body Wash RRP $6.00 for 10ml Full Size
I have never seen a body wash so small. It definitely is only 1-2 uses. I've never been a fan of Lavender or Sandalwood so I can't see myself like this product but I do like it's inclusion. I know a few people who would like to try something like this so I will be able to get rid of it no problem. I have heard good things about the brand so it probably is a great product.
6. So Susan Flutter Mascara RRP $32.00 Full Size
So Susan has been in a couple of previous box subscriptions and each time I have missed out so it is nice to finally get to try one of their products. A few people have said that theirs was faulty when they opened it but mine is perfectly fine. I'm actually really surprised with the way it smells. So many mascaras have chemical smells or plastic smells but this one is not bad. It applies evenly and is quite nice. It states that it makes your lashes blacker, well i'd hope so, and that it separates lashes which is pretty true. I don't think I would pay $32 for it again but only because I have cheaper mascaras that are very comparable.
So overall this month was 3 full size and 3 samples which is pretty good. The products are varied and its nice to get 2 make up items. Its a great way to follow up the anniversary month with an
overall value of $79.50.
The sneak peak for next month is the Be a Bombshell Eyeshadow Quad which I am very excited about.
What did you think of this month?
Have you tried any of the items yet? How did they go?
