Violet Box: Feb 2015

What is Violet Box: Violet Box is a monthly subscription service where you receive a box each month containing a minimum of x5 beauty product samples. It is a great way to try out new products without spending a lot of money. Once you have tried the product if you would like to purchase the full size you can do so on the Violet Box website: www.violetbox.com.au or at: www.thebeautyoffice.com.au It is a great way to treat yourself!

I just received my first Violet Box subscription box this month and let me just say, I am impressed. If you are a fellow beauty product addict then you need this in your life!

Below I have listed all of the products that I received in the February 2015 box:

 

1. Natural World Moroccan Argan Oil

I put this in the ends of my hair while it was damp and then blow dried. It made my hair feel so soft and nourished. It really brought out the shine. I will definitely continue to use this product in my hair. The 25ml bottle I received will last for a while as you only need to use a little bit at a time. This is exactly what my heat damaged hair needed.

2. Suki Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser

I love this! It is a lemongrass and chamomile infused facial cleanser/exfoliator in one. Once the sugar granules are massaged into the skin it turns into a creamy consistency. Not only does it leave your skin feeling amazingly smooth and clean but it smells like lemonade.  I like that all of the ingredients are natural and I will definitely be purchasing the full size product once I’m finished my sample jar. I only wish this product came in different packaging because I am not a fan of the dip-jar, it’s a bit unhygienic and who has time to worry about a spatula on a regular basis- lets be real. Regardless, I like it that much I am willing to put up with that... Full size of 120ml retails for $46.95.

3. Emite Make-up BB Highlighting Pen

I’m not going to lie- I did not like this product at all. It doesn’t blend easily and looks quite chalky. Considering this product retails for $32, I would of expected it to be of better quality.

  

 

4. Teeez Trend Cosmetics Easy on the Eyes Pencil

How have I never heard of this brand before?! This eye pencil is amazing. It is so creamy and pigmented and the colour is very long lasting. I would recommend perhaps setting with a black shadow as it does tend to smudge a little. I received the full size in Black De Luxe. I also thought the packaging was really cute. I am keen to try out more products from Teeez.

5. Pretty Woman Magnetix Nail Polish

This colour is absolutely stunning and the formula is perfection, however I am not a fan of the magnetic nail effect. It looks good on some people but I am not a fan of it on myself. If your into the magnetic nail polish phase then I am sure you would be very impressed with this one. It is quite effective and I had lots of fun playing around with it.

  I was also excited to receive a Furless Pro Stippling Brush PRO6F as a free gift. I have wanted to try these brushes for the longest time and am so impressed with the quality. It is so well made and so soft, everything you look for in a make-up brush. And even better, they are completely cruelty free. I am keen to try out more of their brushes and am definitely adding some of these brushes to my wish list.

Overall I was absolutely thrilled with my first Violet Box and look forward to my future subscription boxes.
