Violet Box August 2013


Violet Box arrived today with an interesting collection of products for me to show you.


matillysthisnthat.blogspot.com.au



 1.   Jelly Pong Pong 2-in-1 Shadow/Liner ~ Bronze ~ RRP$19.00





2.   Jelly Pong Pong Lip Blush ~ Cranberry ~ RRP$22.00 ~ this is a lip stain and be careful if it gets on your skin it stays!




3.   Dr Bragi Age Management Moisturiser ~ this is one expensive moisturiser with a RRP$179.00 for 60mls.  This is just a sample size 5mls of a thin watery clear lotion.  I am very surprised when reading the list of ingredients that the first five are Glycerin, Water, Sorbitol, Urea and Alcohol, I really have to query how they can charge so much using such cheap fillers.

4.   ghd Style Heat Protection Spray 120ml RRP$24.00.  This was great to find in this month's box.  I love ghd products.

5.   Goldwell Dualsenses Rich Repair Cream Shampoo and Conditioner ~ sample sachets ~ I have tried these before and don't really like them but at least VB had the sense to send the shampoo AND conditioner unlike some other sample boxes.

So that's it for this month.  The products included were great value, two colour products is always a bonus to find and I am sure most members are really going to be happy this month.

I'm personally a little underwhelmed as the only product that really excited me was the ghd heat spray.  As nice as the Lip and Eyeliner products are they are not products I can or would wear sigh........  I hate red lipstick and this is really really bright red and I can't wear dark brown eyeshadow, (too fair skinned) and I don't wear eyeliner  (itchy eyes).  Not interested in the over priced moisturiser or the hair sachets that only cater for short/medium length hair and eventually turn up in every single beauty box out there.

I really hope they start using our profiles and preferences soon.

What did you think of this month's box?
