Violet Box May 2015



Oh Violet Box, this month was so very conflicting. Lets start with some love hey? I am extremely chuffed that every single product in this months box is cruelty free. Every. Single. One. Next up is the not so great: Besides it being a May box arriving in June I feel like I’d already seen the products many times throughout different boxes. But nonetheless, it was full of lots of full size products and deluxe samples without a tiny magazine style sachet to be found.

Mitsura Kabuki Brush
I haven’t received a brush in a beauty box yet and this one is a beautifully soft and luxourious feeling brush that is one of those great multi purpose tools to keep in your bathroom. Use it for bronzers, blushes, foundations, finishing powders and even for contouring. A nice little inclusion. Full Size $14.95

Soak Skin Booster Body Lotion
The brand Soak focuses on ‘super food skincare’ and this body lotion is packed full of chia seeds. The same Chia seeds that I have to usually pick out of my teeth after eating my morning granola and yoghurt. The whole super food in skincare sounds pretty gimmicky to me as I never brought into the #healthspo in the first place. But after apply the lotions to my very dry hands it healed it almost instantly and absorbed without leaving any residue. The smell is slightly overpowering but I actually really liked it. Deluxe Sample

Hair & Me Hair Rejuvenation Treatment
I actually picked this up when it first came out because the company is owned by my former hairdresser Jess. The hair treatment is organic and cruelty free and using a massive mix of wonderful oils to create a deeply hydrating treatment that helps strengthen and repair hair. Best left on while watching trashy TV and eating something deep-fried. Full Size $19.95

Urban Skincare Co. Infuse Body Balm
Ah! Look who it is again! This is probably the third or fourth time Urban Skincare Co. have popped up in a beauty box. In fact I think it has been featured in Lust Have It and Bellabox as well. I still haven’t used the exact other body balm I’ve received yet but now I’ve run out of body butter I’ll have to start using them up. This balm is full of calcium, magnesium and vitamin C, which sounds more like something you should be taking in a vitamin with breakfast instead of rubbing all over your skin, but if it works it works! Deluxe Sample

Meraki by Design Body Scrub
The description on the card was quite vague and threw out lots of words like “free spirited, gypsies, unique, colour and bohemian” to describe the product which didn’t really give me much to go on. The body scrub is bright green and smells like a party mix bag of lollies. When I had a shower and scrubbed it all over my body it was quite coarse, rough and temporarily stained my nailbeds bright green and once washed off my skin was really soft. Though it was soft in a waxy way. Even though I smelt amazing felt like my skin needed an insulin bath after.  Deluxe Sample
