VIOLET BOX July 2013

Well I must say I am pretty excited with what I received in my VB this month.  It started off with the cute black box everything was packed in.  Magnetised closing lid with a purple bow.

I was really happy with what I found inside too.

ModelCo SHINE Ultra Lip Gloss ~ Striptease ~ RRP18.00, I have already received this in another subscription box (same shade) and to be honest I can't even remember what it was like or what I have done with it.  I don't think I am too impressed with this brand.

Aphelia Peony 9+5 Advance Beautifying Eye Creme ~ sample size ~ RRP$69 15ml.  Always excited to receive eye creams and I thought that this was a full-sized product until I opened it and there was only a tiny amount in the bottom of the jar.  I don't know if this is how much product we were suppose to receive, so if anyone else has opened theirs can you let me know?  I look forward to trying this but wish the sample had been bigger to get a better idea of what this is like and what it can do for my eye area.

Catalina Geo ~ Long and Deep Mascara (Plus Refill) ~ Black ~  RRP$31.50.  Wow I mean Wow, not only did I find a gorgeous looking mascara in the box but a refill as well!  This is the product I am most excited by, look forward to reviewing this for you all.

Adorn Cosmetics ~  Eye Create Intensive Shadow Shade ~ Golden Quartz & Eye Create Matte Shadow ~ Coral Pearl ~ 2 samples ~ RRP$15 1.5g.  I really like the Coral Pearl, it is a pearlised pinky, peachy light golden shade with a little gold glitter, I don't know what the matte has to do with the description because it is anything but matte. The Golden Quartz is a gorgeous smokey brown shade with more glitter, it does tend to buff out though.  Both of these shades are from Adorn's normal eye shadow range, so I am a little disappointed I didn't receive what was on the card, I would have liked to have tried the matte shadow.

St Tropez Bronzing Mousse ~ sample 50ml ~  RRP$39.95 120ml ~ RRP$59.95 240ml.  I don't know much about bronzers for the skin as I am a

Proud to be Pale ~  Glow in the Dark ~  Casper Gal!! 

I have never used tanner but I am wondering if this can be used on your face to contour?  Might have to give it a go.  You can also use tanner to darken a 'too light' foundation.

There was also three discount cards one for Adorn Cosmetics, Aphelia Peony eye creme & Makeup AUSTRALIA.

Ok so that's what was in VB for this month.  I certainly think this is a much better selection than what I received last month and well worth the $22.95.  If you are thinking about subscribing please go here.
