Violet Box September 2013

Hey Guys!


So sorry I’ve been so bad with posting since I started! Hopefully trying to post a lot more frequently and come up with a schedule so I post at least two times a week!

I know it’s like 2 months late but I wanted to post up this Violet Box from September and show you what was in it because this box is the reason I unsubscribed from them. I just wasn’t happy with the contents I was receiving and looking back on all of the items I got in their boxes I realized almost all of them hadn’t been touched yet, so that was an indication to me that I had to unsubscribe. Of course the next month they included at least 3 full sized makeup products in the box! My luck of course haha!

Here’s the card for some extra info if you are after it…


The Vintage Cosmetic Company floral Slanted Tweezers – full size RRP $14.95:
These looked cute but I already have about 5 pairs of tweezers and I have tried these out and they aren’t very good, the tip is definitely not precise enough.


The Vintage Cosmetic Company Emery Board – full size RRP $4.95:
The same as above…I have so many nail files as a beauty therapist, I keep this in my bag and have reached for it once but I found its nowhere near as good as my CND files, or any other file I have tried for that matter.


NS-5 Cuticle & Nail complex 15g – full size RRP $9.95:
I also have a lot of cuticle treatments I use on clients but I find I don’t really go to the effort to use any on myself, maybe I should keep this in my bag or something so I can use it and see what it’s like! Let me know if you have used this product at all, would love to hear from you all.


Sinful Colors Nail Polish – full size RRP $4.95:
I’ve got a couple of these polishes now and my review on them is that they are really opaque and you don’t need more than two coats (this is with the colours I have tried). It dries really quickly and is a great price for the quality of the polish. However I haven’t had the chance to keep it on because I can’t really wear polish for work so I don’t know how long it lasts. The downfall of this polish is that its sooo sooo runny! It was driving me crazy, I would wipe the excess polish off of the brush and go to paint my nails and then it would start to drip, I would have to wipe it 4-5 times while painting each nail so that it didn’t make a mess so just keep that in mind when purchasing.

I apologize for my short nails and bad painting skills guys

Eleven Australia’s Miracle Hair Treatment – 6ml sample size (full size – 125ml RRP $24.95):
I really love the smell of this product, it has a really yummy coconut summery scent. I tried this out and I think it did an okay job (you basically put a small amount through your damp hair and it is supposed to have 11 benefits for your hair) however I love my Moroccan oil so much more so I think I’ll stick to that.


Timeless Truth Q10 Caviar Nourishing mask – RRP $7.00:
I’m assuming this sachet is full size because it doesn’t say and $7 sounds about right for a fabric mask like this. I haven’t tried this yet but ill attempt to use it this week and add it into the ginormous empty post I am planning to do soon!


Okay so that’s everything! Violet Box just wasn’t for me unfortunately but I will continue to subscribe to Bellabox and Lust Have it so I think that’s more than enough. So let me know if you have used any of these products guys and what you thought of them, would love to hear from you! Thanks so much for reading my blog!
