After being so impressed with Vegan Cuts Beauty Box last month, I was excited to receive it again, so I had to do a video! If you are unfamiliar, Vegan Cuts offers a $19.95 a month box that contains 4-7 vegan and cruelty free beauty samples. I fell in love with 2 of last month’s products, so I was excited to see what was in the May box. Want to see my first reactions to the contents? Watch my unboxing video below!
There were 6 total products featured in the May box- let’s see my thoughts on them!:
- Lauren Brooke Cosmetiques Lash Strengthening Mascara: This sample sized mascara was intriguing to me, because I’ve never tried a natural mascara. I was less than impressed with the sample, as it was in a basic tube with a standard spoolie, when the performance of a mascara is reliant on the brush more than the actual formula. I thought it looked and felt really natural, didn’t bother my eyes, and looked very black. This is ideal for someone who doesn’t like bold mascara. It applies a very small amount to your lashes!
- Gourmet Body Treats Raw Finishing Powder ($32): This powder doesn’t really appeal to me, but since it has arrow root I decided to try it as a dry shampoo. I used it once and I did like it because it was easily blendable into my brown hair. I thought the packaging was pretty chintzy, but at least it was a full size. Definitely wouldn’t pay $32 for it, though!
- Tallulah Jane Halona Eau de Parfum: I don’t always love perfume samples, and this one was an example of such occasions. It smells like lime, but artificial lime, to me. It fades quickly, so not something I’d be interested in.
- SkinAgain Youth Cream ($64): This moisturizer is supposed to reduce fine lines and increase elasticity. It’s an awesome full size, but I’m not using it because my skin is really finicky to skin care and I don’t want to waste it! Awesome to get 2 full sized products that are both well over the value of the box.
- Sevi Blue Yarrow Root Sea Salt Texture Spray: This was an awesome sized sample, and smelled faintly of citrus. I had good expectations for this spray, but I was let down. My hair was honestly straighter than ever after using this! I wasn’t expecting beachy waves, as my hair is mostly straight, but I was hoping for some sort of piece-y look. My hair felt nice, the product just didn’t do what I expected it to do.
- Goddess Garden Organics Sunscreen: This is a tiny packet sample, so it doesn’t really add value to the box. I haven’t used this yet, but I will soon when I’m out in the sun. It’s nice that it’s an organic sunscreen, because drugstore variants are loaded with chemicals.
This box just doesn’t compare to last month for me, but I am extremely picky. Based on the value alone, though, I’m ultra-impressed. 2 of the products alone are worth $96, well over the $19.95 price! This is the ideal box for a vegetarian or vegan gal who still loves her beauty products. Let me know in the comments- do you think this box is worth the price?
