What I Say:
As always, the
Violet box has arrived in the usual stylish black matte box, and this is what
was in it;
As per the sneak
peak in last month’s Box, the May box included a Goldwell StyleSign Sleek
Perfection….
Goldwell StyleSign
Sleek Perfection – Sample 20ml (RRP: Full size $24.95)
This is a thermal
spray to protect the hair from hot styling tools, and which is humidity
resistant for up to 24 hours to maintain silky straight hair. This sounds
pretty good to me, although I have to admit that I rarely have time to
straighten my long hair these days. But it is handy to have at hand for those
times when it does happen, and the small size is perfect for travelling and
weekends away.
LUSH Popcorn Lip
Scrub – Full size ($9.95/25g)
I have actually
never tried a lip scrub before, usually using my usual face scrub, so I am
excited to try this one from Lush. It contains coconut and jojoba oils, as well
as sugar, sea salt and polenta to leave the lips soft and moisturised. I am not
the greatest fan of coconut scented products, but luckily the coconut scent is
not too strong in this product, so I look forward to testing this one out!
Chella Ivory Lace
Highlighter Pencil – Full Size (RRP: $24.95)
I have never heard
of Chella before, so I love the inclusion of this one. The pencil can be used
to highlight, conceal and brighten the brow and eye area, and is perfect for
applying on the brow bone, and dark circles, blemishes and red spots, so this
is a fantastic multi-tasking pencil. The pale skin toned product is soft and
creamy, and easy to use, so I am very excited about this one and cannot wait to
put it to the test.
Eve’s Ready to wear
Lipstick by Teeez – Full Size (RRP: 32.00)
Last month in the
April Violet box there was a Teeez nail polish included, and that was the first
I’d ever heard of Teeez, and as I’ve loved the nail polish, I love the addition
of this lipstick this month. It claims to nourish, hydrate and repair cracked
and dry lips, and has a pale nude pinky shade, that is so lovely. And it comes
in such a cute packaging, and it smells divine too. I love it!
Timeless Truth
Miracle Rejuvenation Mask (Lifting Mask) – Full Size (RRP: $7.00)
This cloth mask
claims to be an intensive skin refining mask to bring back a fresh, pure look
and feel of younger skin, rejuvenating dull and lifeless skin, leaving it
looking radiant and even toned. IT also helps improve the appearance of age
spots, fine lines and wrinkles. How amazing does that sound, and I cannot wait
to use it, it is just what my skin needs – now just need to find the 15-20
minutes where I can lie down and relax while it works its magic!
Nuxe Huile
Prodigieuse – Sample sachet, 4ml – (RRP: $24.95/50ml, $39.95/100ml)
I love this oil
which can be used on the face, body and in the hair, and already have a full
sized bottle – this also means that I am not extremely excited about this one –
but in saying that, it has only been a few months since I bought the bottle,
and before that, the product was high on my wish list, so it is just bad
timing. And as it is such a fantastic product, I certainly don’t mind the
inclusion, as it will definitely be put to good use.
Nuxe Crème
Merveillance – Sample sachet, 2ml – (RRP: $64.95/50ml)
Now this cream
excited me a whole lot more as I’ve wanted to try more products from Nuxe, but
sadly this is intended for dry skin, so I am not so sure how it will go on my
combination skin – but in saying that, my skin is always getting a little drier
as we head towards winter, so I will certainly be testing it out.
I am impressed.
Month after month Violet Box manages to maintain – or I would go as far as to
say continuously improve the fantastic value of the boxes, as well a great
variety of products. This month saw the inclusion of a whole four full sized
products, and three great samples – all of which I will enjoy trying and using.
And I also love the variety of the products, from face and body care, lip
product, makeup and hair – there really is something for everyone! With just
the full sized products, the box has a value of $71, and again, add to that the
three samples. How great is that.
Well done Violet
Box!
