I have only just received my Violet Box today and there are no surprises in it because it is exactly the same as what everyone else received, days ago. I am not inclined to review it because I am not impressed with Violet Box's first effort, there is nothing that jumped out at me and said YES I WANT TO RUSH OUT AND BUY THIS.
Violet Box claim to offer their customers "a surprise mix of beauty products of the latest and greatest beauty products on the market" all for $22.95 per month. If this box appeals to you, you can find out more here.
3 full-sized products was great to see but I just wasn't impressed with the items, it's not a good box if the products aren't usable or interesting to the customer.
Any box with AVENE in it is one Avene product too much, can't stand the stuff. Just a side note VB, if you ever get offered samples of dry shampoo to add to your box PLEASE DON'T GO THERE! I already have a life time supply of dry shampoo and Avene!
I hate perfume samples in boxes they are just a cop out. I have been sent the CK Sheer Beauty sample in another box and my opinion of it hasn't changed I don't like it, smells like aftershave. In fact there were way too many Calvin Klein products (2) in this box for me, how about some other brands one of each will suffice?
What am I going to do with a CK Gloss Eyecolor gold glittery eye pencil that fades away to nothing? It's that sheer, no colour pay off at all, just disco ball glitter.
The Clear mascara, OK but nothing special, not something I would repurchase or probably purchase to begin with. A coloured one would have been more useful. Supposedly you can use it to tame unruly eyebrows. UPDATE, totally useless mascara, leaves white streaks on your eyebrows and flakes, left my eyelashes clumpy and wet looking.
Argan Oil just makes me go ARGHHHHHH! Tired of the stuff.
John Plunkett is a chemist brand hardly a LUXE item and I thought Violet Box were going to up the ante in the beauty box business sigh...... It really is just more of the same as the other beauty boxes and VB are the most expensive to subscribe too!!
I will give them one more month and if July's box isn't better I will be un-subscribing. For all VB's build up towards their launch this June, this box is boring and offers nothing new.
In my opinion the only beauty box worth subscribing too is BellaBox and they do it for $15 a month.
