What I Say:
This month the
Violet box didn't arrive in its usual black matte box, - but in stead it came in
a little makeup bag – and as I by now have a whole heap of the empty beauty
boxes that I am using for storage of other items, and actually was in desperate
need of a new makeup bag, I really applaud this.
The makeup bag has a fantastic size, and lots
of zippers and compartments so it is so easy to store and separate even the
smallest of items. I got a nude toned one with pink, grey and red dots on it,
and it is so cute. I love it!
And this is what
was in it;
I already knew that this would be included as there was a teaser in last month’s box about it. This is to help tame your hair from frizz and make it even straighter, while protecting your hair from heat damage. I have to be very honest and admit that I very rarely straighten my hair, let alone use the hair drier – it simply dries naturally, even though it means that it is not straight and I have frizzy hair, but with a baby, I simply haven’t got the time at the moment. But regardless, it will be handy to have at hand, for special occasions.
Appelles Blackseed Shampoo and Tamanu Conditioner - Sample Sizes, 60ml each – (RRP: $18.95/150ml each)
I have never before tried any products from
Appelles, so I am quite excited about the inclusion of these. The products
smell lovely from the sandalwood and lavender essential oils used in the
products, and are supposed to help strengthen the hair and fortify against dry
and split ends – just what my hair needs, so I cannot wait to put these to the
test. And the samples have a decent size so I will be able to try them a few
times before casting my verdict.
This is a very cute two in one nail polish that includes a bright red shade and a dusty pink shade. Both shades are really lovely and very wearable, and as I’ve never heard of Strange Beautiful Nail Polishes before, I look forward to putting them to the test.
Lately beauty boxes all seem to include Bioderma, but as I am still new to Bioderma and I’ve like what I’ve tried so far, I don’t mind the inclusion of this so I can try out some more of their products. This is a silicone based primer that contains, and it is supposed to be designed for oil skin to help minimise pores on especially nose, chin and forehead. This sounds absolutely perfect for my combination skin, so I am very excited about this one, and hope that it will make my skin look shine-free all day too!
This is supposedly a light brown pencil, but I do find that it is quite dark – but luckily it does suit my brows – unfortunately, my brows are the first thing I skip when I am in a hurry, so it is very rare that I use brow products, but in saying that, I do know what an amazing difference it makes, so I will definitely be giving this a go the next time I’ve got a few spare minutes to do my makeup.
This month includes
a fantastic variety of skincare, hair, nail, and makeup products, so there is
something for everyone, and even better, there is also a mix of brand,
including all except for ghd and Bioderma that are new to me. Thanks to the makeup
bag, this month’s ‘box’ has a massive value, so definitely well worth the
$22.95 it cost. My only negative about this month’s box, is that it did not include
the usual card with product descriptions and values of the products (so please
take the above listed prices with a grain of salt!), and I don’t know if this
is general, or just an oversight in my box. And while I do not need to get the
value of the products specified to see that this month is fantastic value, it
is nice to have the product descriptions at hand.
Well done Violet Box – and yet again congratulations on your
first year- you have gone from strength to strength, and I am already looking
forward to seeing what you have planned for next month.

The makeup bag is really cute, and perfect timing too, as I was so in need of a new one.
