March Beauty EDIT (my first)

I got a new Beauty EDIT subscription :D

I received my first one on the 21st of March, as usual couldn't wait to open it and see what lovelies were inside!

There's a few differences between Bellabox (my first ever subscription box) and Beauty EDIT, but the two that stand out the most is price and the fact Beauty Edit actually allow their subscribers to specify a skin and hair type along with a specific style of makeup they'd prefer.

This of course had me very interested, as Bella Box does have a questionnaire about these things in your profile, but don't actually seem to cater the samples to your specific needs or wants (unlike Beauty EDIT).

I opened the packaging. And there wash a beautiful pink box. Upon opening the pink box I found a personalised  card that gave me a thank you discount and told you that the packaging was reusable and recyclable (a big plus) and that further information about each item can be found on my account on their website.

So the items I got were.... (and their full size price on the Beauty EDIT website)

Eye Majic Instant Eye Shadow - Gloriosa 2pk $3.95

Eye Majic Instant Eye Shadow - Fabula 2pk $3.95

Sasy n Savy Citrus Souffle Body Creme 120ml $46.00

Monteil Acti-vita Gold ProCGen Softening Lotion 200ml $69.99

Hawley Illume Essencia Cuticle Conditioner 3.7ml $3.70

GKMBJ Soothing & Nourishing Shampoo 280ml $19.95

GKMBJ Soothing Hair & Scalp Honey Moisturizing Conditioner 280ml $19.95

The ones I received in full size were the Eye Majic and the Hawley Illume Essencia Cuticle Conditioner. The rest were sample sizes. I also received a Tea Tonic Complexion Tea sample, which I can't seem to find easily on their website.

All in all I think worthwhile for my $20.

The EyeMajic. I received 3 individual ones of these (one full pack, and one extra). I am yet to try them, but they look like a good idea if they come off in all one go and don't flake off.

Both the GKMBJ Soothing & Nourishing Shampoo and the GKMBJ Soothing Hair & Scalp Honey Moisturizing Conditioner. I haven't opened these yet, so don't know what they smell like, but will do a full review when I do.

Then there's the Sasy n Savy Citrus Souffle Body Creme. It said for all skin types, and is made in Australia. This has a very light citrus sent to it. A lot of the time moisturisers and perfume will set my hayfever off but this is beautifully scented. It readily absorbed into the back of my had and has left my hand feeling beautiful and soft and not at all greasy or sticky like some other moisturisers do. If it wasn't for the price tag , I would be buying this. (120ml $46.00 on the beauty EDIT website)



Monteil Acti-vita Gold ProCGen Softening Lotion. This is made in Germany. I don't even quite know what to say towards this one. This is something that I would never have bought for myself. It says "Nice soft lotion with 24k gold leaf particles make the skin velvety-soft to the touch. The ProCGen complex has an intensively hydrating effect and restored skins natural balance. The skins structure is stabilised, it regains vitality and resiliance. The gold particles have a soothing effect and ensure a radiant look. The skin is perfectly prepared for subsequent care products. Alcohol free."
It looks very watery, and has a tiny hole to stop you pouring out too much at one time. It has almost no smell, and just two drops on the back on my hand not only did my whole hand but started to go up my wrist as well, so a little goes a long way. The back of my hand does feel velvety smooth. I have a 10ml tester. This one may be worth the price (200ml $69.99on the beauty EDIT website)

Next was the Hawley Illume Essencia Cuticle Conditioner. I've written a review on this over here. But if you want a quick review now, it smells delicious! I love the brush applicator, and I love how it makes my cuticles feel. All in all this one is something I will buy again.

The extra! This is one of the many teas on offer from Tea Tonic. The one I was given is called "complexion tea" and is both organic and caffeine free. It just smells delicious! The ingredients are red clover, nettle, dandelion leaf, calendula and burdock. I've only ever heard of dandelion leaf before, which is used as a caffeine free coffee substitute.
I am yet to try this one, but I think I'll be brewing it up tonight :)

Beauty EDIT comes every two months, which gives plenty of time to go though and try everything out without feeling rushed (unless you subscribe to more than one brand of box :p).

You do have a minimum of two boxes ($40). You can check it out here
