May Violet Box (My First)

I love the way it's presented, in it's own little box. It's been well designed. You open up the box and see the product card atop purple tissue paper, and it just smelt absolutely delicious!!! Sadly because something spilt in it. I discovered it was the popcorn lip scrub! I can't stop sniffing it, it's just soo good! But more on that later and onto the box!!

Conclusion:

Like I said at the start, the LUSH Popcorn Lip Scrub just smells divine! I couldn't wait to give it a go, especially because I tend to lick my lips a lot which does make them dry, a lip scrub is designed to put moisture back into your lips while removing the dead skin. On the pack it says "How To Use: Scrub and buff your lips to softness , lick off the excess then apply your favourite Lush Lip Balm" So I did! It was delicious! It tasted as good as it smelt. But definitely don't forget that last step with the lip balm or your lips will feel very dry. I've used it a few times now, and my lips are feeling very soft and luscious. Definitely a product I will be buying in the future, especially because its all natural and is Australian made.

I haven't tried the StyleSign Sleep Perfection yet. I have quite damaged hair from bleach, and therefore I avoid any heat styling but when my hair has grown back, this will be a welcome tool.  I can't even tell you what it smells like, because of the popcorn spill, all I can smell is popcorn . Its a 20ml sample size, just the right size for travel.

I used the Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter Pencil on my brow bone to highlight and under my eye to conceal the dark circles. It goes on quite thick whether you want it to or not, so I just blended it out. It going on a tad thicker would be great for concealing blemishes. I have quite pale skin and I find this pencil light in colour, it's not something you can put on without blending. It does blend easily and looks natural on someone who cant use a powder concealer on their eyes because of, for lack of better term, eye bags (the powder sets in the creases and just makes it look worse). This pencil is something I will be using quite a bit to hide those dark circles and highlight my brown bone. I love highlighting my eyes!

Trying to get the box undone to Eve's Ready To Wear Lipstick By Teeeze when I was in a hurry was a challenge and I ended up ripping it open hahaha and the lipstick itself is beautifully presented, something I would love to pull out of my handbag for a touch up. The application is nice and creamy and it does feel moisturising, sort of like a lipstick and lip balm in one, but I haven't worn it all day to test how long it lasts. The colour I received was 'Tempting Pink' and it's quite a pale pink, even with my blonde hair I'm not sure it's something that I could use everyday, especially with my darker wardrobe. But maybe more in summer with a white wardrobe? I'll play around with looks and try and find one that works as its a lipstick I would like to use.

You only get one Timeless Truth Miracle Mask and the one I received was the  Miracle Rejuvenation Mask (Firm Skin). Because the product card didn't say much about it, I'll tell you what it says on the back of the pack.

"Discover the inner beauty of your skin. This intensive skin refining mask gives back the fresh, pure look and feel of younger skin. Dull, lifeless skin is rejuvenated leaving it looking radiant, evenly toned and smooth. This mask helps to improve the appearance of age spots, fine lines and wrinkles. With this high performance brightening essence this mask takes rejuvenation to new heights."

Being 23 I don't think I need the firm skin mask yet, but as I received another Timeless Truth mask in another box I think I'll have some mother daughter pamper time soon :)

I haven't tried the Nuxe Huile Prodigieus yet either because it's a foil pack. But I'm looking forward to trying it on the stretch marks on my hips. It is a fairly small sample, 4ml so I'll be lucky to get 2-3 applications depending on how thick the oil is. Looking at the ingredients I believe the 6 precious plant oils  include macadamia, sweet almond, hazel, olive, sunflower and camellia oil. 

Nuxe Crème Merveillance is unfortunately another one I'm yet to try because it's in a foil pack. I much prefer the resealable packs as I can test a small amount of those and put the rest aside for later. This moisturizer claims to 'fills in, smooths, re-plumps'. Looking at the list of ingredients it contains quite a lot of plant extracts and plant oils, including hazel, oat and carrot. Not sure what carrot root extract can do for your skin, but if it works...I'm not one to judge!

Do I like my first ever Violet Box? Yes, I do. I like the presentation, I like the the value, I like the items. For $22.95 I got $70.95 worth of full sized products. I don't count sample sizes in the value of boxes, as most samples come with the words "Free Sample. Not for sale."

What do you think of Violet Box?
