What I Say:
Violet Box yet
again arrived in a narrower sized black matte box, with the magnetic closure
and a purple ribbon, and this is what was in the February Violet Box…
Red Carpet Kolour –
Sample Sachets x 2 (RRP: $ 49.95/150ml)
At first glance I
thought this was a self-tanner, but it is not. It is a body lotion that gives
your skin coverage for imperfections, such as pigmentation, veins, age spots
and wrinkles, without transferring onto your clothes. Available in light, medium
and tan, this is basically a foundation for the body. With a baby, I hardly
have time enough to do the makeup on my face, so honestly I doubt that this is
something I’d make use of on a daily basis. But in saying that, I do have some
pretty ugly veins on my legs, which were made worse during my pregnancy, so for
special occasions this would be the perfect solution.
Nuxe Crème
Nirvanesque – Sample 15ml (RRP: $49.95/50ml)
I only recently
tried some products from Nuxe (you can see me review here), and so loved them, so I was happy
to see the inclusion of this cream. It promises to smooth, de-stress and relax
first expression lines and is made from 80% natural ingredients. I do have an
expression line between my brows that I am not too fond of, so I look forward
to testing this one out, and I love seeing that it is suitable for all skin
types, so it shouldn’t cause any issues for my combination skin.
Be a Bombshell The
One Stick – Full Size (RRP: $21/7.3g)
I love the sound of
this all-in-one stick which can be used on the eyes, cheeks and lips. A true
multi-tasking product. I got the colour Girl Crush, which is a lovely pale pink
shade with just a touch of simmer. I love the fact that this is a full sized
product and I can’t wait to test it out.
WotNot Facial Wipes
– Sample pack/5 wipes (RRP: $7.95/25 wipes)
The box also
included a card with details of how to get pack of the newly launched facial
wipes for oily/sensitive skin for free, which is a great bonus.
Aphelia Oasis Acne
Solution – Sample Size 2ml (RRP: $49/50ml)
I have previously
tried some products, and they are amazing. If you’ve missed them, check out my
reviews for the amazing hand cream and fantastic Peony eye cream). I have
always suffered with breakouts, and always trying to find products that
actually will work when I get that nasty pimple, so I love the inclusion of
this acne cream, as it is made from herbs, and is gentle, yet promises to be
fast acting – so sounds pretty promising. In saying that, the inclusion of an
acne product may not be suitable for all subscribers, but personally I am very
happy about it.
Be A Bombshell Lip
Crayon – Full Size (RRP: $19/2.5g)
Another full sized
product, how great is that. This lip crayon is said to be able to go on from
sheer to full coverage. There were two options, Trophy White and Some Beach,
and I got the Some Beach, which is a coral colour with a touch of shimmer. I
haven’t got a lot of coral lip products, so I love the inclusion of this, and
can’t wait to try it out.
Finally, the box
also included a cute heart shaped lolly, won’t stay untouched for long. Such a
sweet inclusion, literally!!
So there you have
it, the contents of the February Violet Box. And yet again, Violet Box has
impressed me with two full sized products and four samples. The inclusion of
the two full sized Be A Bombshell products makes the box well worth its cost,
and add to that the generous size of the Nuxe cream, and also the Acne cream
from Aphelia, all of which I will look forward to testing out.
And as per previous
months, if I have to be negative, it would be that there are two products
included from the Be A Bombshell brand, and while I love both of these full
sized products, I would personally have preferred just one of these products
and have the second product replaced with another full sized product from
another brand that is new to me. But again, that is just me being fussy, as
what really matters is the value of the box both in terms of money, but also if
you are actually going to use the products, and on both levels, this month’s
Violet Box is extremely good value.
So all in all, I am
very impressed with this month’s box – yet again, well done Violet Box, keep up
the good work!!

It is definitely one of the better ones for a while. And yeah, I definitely hope our internet will be connected soon, but still waiting with no news on when it will happen!
