PRODUCT REVIEW: VIOLET BOX JUNE 2015

Today it is all about the June Violet Box, here are my thoughts on this month’s box; 

What They Say:

Violet Box brands promises to every month include 4-6 premium beauty and lifestyle samples from well-known and trusted Australian beauty brands as well as exciting new International brands, one in particular is a revolutionary product currently trending in New York and has been featured in Vogue and on the Today Show!
RRP: You can subscribe to Violet Box for:
1 month – $22.95
3 months - $66.00
6 months - $130
12 months - $250
Available from Violet Box


What I Say:
This month the Violet Box comes in a slight different box than previous months, as it is no longer slide-out box, but rather a standard opening box. Personally I prefer the slide out-design and find it better designed for reuse, but in the end of the day I have heaps of these boxes by now so it really doesn’t matter, it’s more about the contents of the box…


Starlooks “Cuddle” Lipgloss – Sample Size (RRP: $14.00/Full size)

This lipgloss in the warm shimmery mauve shade, Cuddle, promises to be non-stick while giving long-lasting glassy glistening gloss effect. The shade is quite nice, but possibly feel that it may be too shimmery for my liking, but only a test will show. Can’t wait to put it to the test. And besides, lovely to see a new brand not before seen in the Violet Box!


Doucce Ultra Precision Eye Liner – Full Size (RRP: $30.00)

I always use either dark brown or black eyeliner so a new one certainly doesn’t go astray, although it I not a wow product as such. In saying that, this eyeliner does feel lovely and soft, so I look forward to putting this one to the test as well. 


Gascoigne & King Love Vanilla Candle – Full Size (RRP: $25.00/200g)

YAY a candle! Don’t recall seeing that in a beauty box before, so that was nice –although you could argue that it as such is not a beauty product – but even so, I love it. Have heard a many good things about Gascoigne & King, so very excited to finally be trying out one of their products. The candle comes in a sleek silver tin, and the Love Vanilla candle contains vanilla, tonka bean and hazelnut and smells absolutely divine, even before starting to burn it, so I cannot wait to let the beautiful scent spread throughout my house! And even my husband agreed it smells divine, something we often don't agree on with candles! Win!



Mullein & Sparrow Tinted Lip & Cheek Balm – Full Size (RRP: $22.00)

And yet another new brand, YAY! This little cute tin contains all natural tinted balm that gives your lips and cheeks a lovely tint, whilst nourishing your lips as the same time. In the tin the tint has quite a dark berry shade, but once on the lips or cheeks it blends out to a beautiful sheer blushed tint. I’m really into cheek balms at the moment, so I’m excited about the inclusion of this one and look forward to really trying it out!


Jing Ai Velvet Shine Lip Jewel Lip Crayon in Pink-A-Boo – Full Size (RRP: $29.00)

And another new brand, for me, the fourth new brand in this box! And I really love the ease of using lip crayons at the moment so also excited about the inclusion of this one. I got the shade Pink A Boo which is a medium cool toned pink shade, - and I have to admit to generally preferring warmer shades, but still I love the sound of this one infused with macadamia seed oil, shea butter and jojoba seed oil to nourish your lips.


Overall, I’m impressed with this month’s box, and personal think it is the best one I’ve received in a very long time! For me it had the WOW factor with the introduction of 4 new brands, and containing products that I am also likely to use. And 4 full sized products and one deluxe sample is also pretty good. The full sized products alone have a value of $106, which is also very impressive for the cost of $22.95.

If I had to nit-pick it would be that there are essentially three lip products in the box and a little more variety by replacing one or two of them with hair or body products, or even other types of makeup would have been ideal.

PRODUCT REVIEW: VIOLET BOX MARCH 2015

So after being back on track with deliveries last month, the March Violet Box arrived yesterday, on the 1st April, so sadly really a little late to be classified a March Box. Anyway, here are my thoughts on this month’s box;

What They Say:

Violet Box brands promises to every month include 4-6 premium beauty and lifestyle samples from well-known and trusted Australian beauty brands as well as exciting new International brands, one in particular is a revolutionary product currently trending in New York and has been featured in Vogue and on the Today Show! 

RRP: You can subscribe to Violet Box for:

1 month – $22.95
3 months - $66.00
6 months - $130
12 months - $250

Available from Violet Box

What I Say:

As per usual this month the Violet Box comes in the typical slide-out box, with the grey and white swirly design that has been previously used. These were the goodies inside the box…

Biology Equilibrium Body Lotion No 304 – Sample, 30ml (RRP: $52/?)

 I have never heard of this brand before and it always excites me to try something new. This body lotion claims to fight free radical damage with antioxidants, boost the skin hyaluronic acid levels, and balance moisture to rejuvenate and restore radiance. The 30ml tube has a decent size to be able to use for a few goes, and I absolutely adore the fresh citrusy scent. I think I could quickly become addicted to this one!


Bioderma Sebium Foaming Gel – Sample, 15ml (RRP: $24.95/250ml)

This cleanser is specifically formulated for combination to oily and acne prone skin, so it is perfectly suited to my skin, so I do look forward to trying this one out.


Doucce Mineral Matte Lipstick in shade 903 – Full Size (RRP: $29.95)

Another brand I’ve never heard of, so again bonus points to Violet Box!! The mineral lipstick is infused with vitamin E and has SPF 10. The shade 903 is a lovely nude dusty rose shade, which I really love, and the type of shade I’d normally reach for. And it smells fantastic too, and how stunning is that silver packaging! It goes on matte and literally feels weightless on the lips. I can’t wait to see how long it will last on the lips.


Doucce Lip Definer in shade 456 – Full Size (RRP: $29.95)

As I think I’ve mentioned before, I know I really should, but for some reason I don’t tend to use lip liners! But in saying that, I love that this lip liner came in a shade that matches the lipstick, couldn’t be better.


Lonvitalite C8 Collagen Crystal Eye Mask – one pair (RRP: $32/6 pairs)

This is a gel eye mask that is designed to eliminate dark circles and fine lines under the eyes. I love these type of eye masks, they not only feel so cooling on the eye area, but makes such a difference instantly, so I cannot wait to put it to the test. Only issue is just finding the time to lie down and relax when I wear it!!

So there you go, the contents in the March Violet Box. Personally I find it is a fantastic box, as I like and will use every single product. In terms of value, it also far outweighs the $22.95 cost, the lipstick and the lip liner combined are worth almost $60!

As well as all the products seems specifically picked for my colours and skin type, I also love the inclusion of the new brands Biology and Doucce – to me the beauty box is all about discovering new products and brands, and this month Violet Box has managed to do just that! Well Done Violet Box, yet again you’ve managed to impress me!
