Hip Hip Hooray!!! Violet Box has finally sent out its first month of Subscription boxes and boy was I excited when a few people last Friday said they had already received their boxes over facebook but I got mine today. And I had to stop myself from ripping open the packaging, after a few deep breaths, and as calm as composed I could be I opened my violet box. *drum roll* Okay excuse the dramatics I have a little confession, earlier in the morning before the courier dropped off the box I searched to see if anybody else had made a blog post on Violet Box, and there was, so I had a little peak to what was inside.
Violet box features a beautiful matte black box and purple writing and packaging inside. This month's box came with 6 items.
1. Avene Gentle Gel Cleanser (50ml sample size) RRP $23.95 (200ml full size)
Quite excited to try this product, I've read some reviews online and the majority have said that its quite great but it does have a fragrance and some people have broken out. It's apparently suitable for sensitive skin, which I'm very glad to know.
2. John Plunkett Glyuco Peel 15ml (full size)
RRP $28.95
This is suppose to gently exfoliate the skin surface removing old, dull surface skin cells. It is a night time exfoliator and on the packaging it is recommended that if you have sensitive skin to wash it off after one minute instead of leaving it on over night.
3. Lash Control Clear Coat Control Mascara and Brow fix (full size)
RRP $25
A.K.A Clear Squeeze, the lash control features a clear formula to taming brows and to use as a top coat over black mascara to seal in the pigment. The squeeze part is for you to control how much product to keep on the wand, the tighter the squeeze, the less product there is on the wand. I'm excited to try this one and to see if it stops the panda eyes I get sometimes from mascara.
4. Argania Hairl Oil Travel Cuties (Sample Size 5ml)
RRP $34.99 (100ml)
Certified with organic Moroccan Argan oil, formulated to be rich in vitamins and antioxidants. Hmm... hair oil, I have never tried it before but many say Moroccan oil is great for the hair but we will see how things go.
5. Calvin Klein Sheer Beauty EDT
RRP $80 (50ml) $12
6. CK One colour cosmetics, Gloss Eye colour
RRP $25
Calvin Klein has five colours with this gloss eye colour and as I said earlier I took a peak into what was in this months violet box before it arrived and was hoping with my fingers and toes crossed that I wouldn't get Vivid(blue), Pop (green) or Loud (red/orange). I hoped for Spin (gold), and when I opened the box the first thing I checked was what colour I recevied. I was totally bummed out that I received Pop, I'm not adventurous with eye colour and I like to stay with my neutrals. What can I do with this? I did a little research and what I found out was that Eye gloss is quite translucent, it's not as vibrant as the colour looks in the tube.
The second voucher is $5 off lash control in the Violet shop, which is yet to be open. And last of all a free 20 minute makeover at CK one color counter.
Overall I'll have to say I'm content with my Violet box, it costs $22.95 so I find it a bit on the pricey side but I'm going to give next month a go before I cancel my subscription. Love how there are three full size products so I'm definitely getting more than what I'm paying, but whether the products work with my routine, time will tell especially with the hair oil and the avene gel. I'm disappointed with the eye gloss since I don't think I have any use for it but will probably give it away to a friend since it seems like such a great product.
Can't wait till the next box!
