August Violet Box

Did someone say THREE FULL SIZED PRODUCTS? Oh yes... Violet Box have delivered a great box for the month of August. Let me go through my quick review for this month before I write up all the boring bits. 

Believe it or not, I never thought beauty subscription boxes delivered at all, in terms of products and samples I was always skeptical of signing up. And Violet box is on the pricey side at $22.95, and to be honest ever since I've received the first box I've been trying to find a fault so I can just unsubscribe and save my money. But my gosh I still can't believe that this month there were three full size products. I'm going to keep my subscription for next month because it's just too exciting, since I am hoping for some nail polish to try out.

There was a sneak peek from Violet Box earlier in the month and it just made me even more excited and I cannot believe there's a GHD style heat protection spray. It's one of those things that we all say we should use but just never getting around to actually purchasing. I've curled my hair for years without using protection spray even though I think it will make that difference I just never got around to purchasing it.

Let's go through our products of this months violet box.

1. Jelly Pong Pong Lip Blush - Full Size RRP $20 

"A moisturising lip stain that tints your lips with just the right amount of juicy colour and hydrates like a balm"

My colour came in Cranberry and I have it swatched for you in the picture on the left and it certainly does stain when I washed off the swatch. It feels quite smooth and I've never heard of this brand but definitely quite happy since I've been meaning to get something along the lines of the Revlon Balm Stain, or the Clinique Chubby sticks.

2. Jelly Pong Pong 2-in-1 Shadow/Liner - Full Size RRP $19.00

"A uniquely formulated crayon that doubles as an eyeliner for thick, precise lines as well as a perfectly -blended eye shadow"

 I received the colour in Bronze, so I expected something with a little shimmer but it was just a plain normal brown, so lets call the colour Brown. It is quite smooth and I also have it swatched on the left I haven't found anything amazing about it though.

3. ghd Style Heat Protection Spray 120ml - Full Size RRP $24.00

"Provides an invisible barrier against everyday heat damage on damp or dry hair... can be layered with other styling products to create the result you desire."

4. Goldwell Dualsenses Rich repair cream shampoo and anti-breakage conditioner - Sample (Full size RRP $24.95 each)

"Repair your hair from the inside out... using the most advanced technologies and customised ingredients to combat dry, stressed hair forever, even a single application can deliver softer, healthier looking hair."

Even though this is a sample I cannot wait to try it, I love trying hair products since I have very long hair and it truly tests out the product.

5. Dr Bragi Age Management Moisturiser - Sample (Full Size RRP $179.00 - 60ml)

"Super active marine enzymes with the added hydrating and plumping abilities of hyaluronic acid. This versatile moisturiser helps to reduce the signs of ageing by fighting the effects of environmental stress."
