I got home about an hour back to find the Memebox Special #12 Vitamin Care box in my room and I quickly took pictures (sorry for the bad quality) to show you what's inside the box so here goes.

Inside the February My Envy Box

Happy Valentine's Day my pretties! Sending all of you a lot of love and I hope you are having a fabulous time with your loved ones :). I'm in no mood to celebrate because of my not so perfect health but the arrival of the Feb edition of My Envy Box yesterday definitely cheered me up a lot. 

February My Envy Box

Most of you know that My Envy Box is a luxury beauty service and here's some more information:

• Price of 1 box : Rs 850
• Get 5 trial sized beauty products (typically 2ml-10ml) from the top international luxury and prestige brands delivered to your door step every month
• Get Rs. 213 worth (25%) of ENVY points to redeem in our store
• Free Shipping
• All products are sourced from brands and authorized distributors in India
• Access to special deals
• Be one of the lucky 50 to get a copy of the latest Elle Magazine
• Use the code 'ENVYFEB' and get 10% off on any full size product

The Feb box is a special Valentine edition and the brand sure did not disappoint. I've always been a fan of the packaging and I love the box that come with the products. This month along with the orange box, there is also an addition of a pouch that contains all the samples. Another great bonus is a coupon that entitles me to a complimentary makeover and consultation from Givenchy's make-up expert! The only hitch is that I live in a city where there is no Givenchy counter :(..booohooooo. I am so so sad to see that coupon go waste.

Other than the coupon, here's what else I got in my box:

• Forest Essentials Sugared Rose Petal Lip Balm Full size - Rs 595
• Thalgo Oxygen SOS serum samples
• Givenchy Dahlia Noir and Gentlemen Only perfume vials
• Rene Furterer Carthame Moisturizing Milk Shampoo sample
• Eminence Organics Chocolate Mousse Hydration Masque sample

I love the selection of products and brands but for me the star of the month is definitely Forest Essentials. If you love rose, this is something you must have! Good God the lip balm smells divine and I just cant stop myself from putting this on. Last month, I got Elie Saab perfume samples but in sachets which I wasn't too fond off. So glad they sent vials this time and the two perfumes smell lovely! One is a men's perfume but I'm quite fond of men's perfume so will use it myself :D. Rene Furterer, Thalgo and Eminence are brands that I have tried before and they are wonderful. That chocolate masque is going on my face tonight :D

I had expected makeup in this month's box so slightly disappointed but the note that comes with the box does mention that they are focusing on getting leading makeup brands on board and we should get some in the next few months. Keeping fingers crossed! I really like that My Envy Box has stuck to providing samples from luxury brands only till date and their selection has been pretty good. Hope they start off with customized boxes very soon. You can subscribe to the My Envy Box here.

Inside the January My Envy Box

I received the January edition of My Envy Box a couple of days ago and here I am presenting the contents. Before showing you what I got, below is some information about My Envy Box for those of you who are not aware of this new luxury beauty box service. 

• Price of 1 box : Rs 850
• Get 5 trial sized beauty products (typically 2ml-10ml) from the top international luxury and prestige brands delivered to your door step every month
• Get Rs. 213 worth (25%) of ENVY points to redeem in our store
• Free Shipping
• All products are sourced from brands and authorized distributors in India
• Access to special deals
• Be one of the lucky 50 to get a copy of the latest Elle Magazine
• Use the code 'ENVYJAN' and get 10% off on any full size product
• Click here to subscribe to the special Feb Valentine's Edition

This month, I did not get the Elle magazine but this is the list of the samples that I got:

1. Rene Furterer Karite Intense Nourishing Shampoo - Full size is for 150 ml and costs Rs 1320

2. Rene Furterer Karite Intense Nourishing Mask - Full size is for 100 ml and costs Rs 2200

3. Elie Saab Le Parfum - 30 ml Rs 2950, 50 ml Rs 4600 and 90 ml Rs 5950

4. Eminence Organic Tinted Moisturiser (BB cream) - Full size 35 ml for Rs 3993

5. Thalgo Unizones Clearing Corrector - Full size 30 ml for Rs 2350

6. Thalgo Brightening Regulating Essence - Full size 30 ml for Rs 3700

I really love the packaging and the quality of the box itself is good. Its white, sturdy and looks classy.  I am happy that My Envy Box started off with makeup this month and I really hope that they continue with this trend. Eager to try out the Eminence BB cream but wish it wasn't in a sachet. A sample size tube would have been so much better. Rene Furterer is a brand that I've heard a lot of good things about and again eager to check if the shampoo and mask work on my dry hair. The size of the samples is pretty decent and I can get about 2 washes from the tubes. The Thalgo products I have used before and they really suit my skin type. Love that brightening essence. 

Overall, a pretty good box and I liked the selection of stuff. My only gripe is with the perfume sample. A vial would have been so much better than these sachets which you need to rub on the skin to get the smell. That aside, love the contents of this month's box. I wish they start off with customised boxes soon and not give everyone the same products. What is making me very excited is the fact that there are a lot of new brands that are coming onboard My Envy Box. These are Clinique, Forest Essentials, Crabtree & Evelyn and many more. The coming months are sure gonna be interesting!

Inside the December Edition of My Envy Box

I've been hearing a lot of buzz about My Envy Box, the latest beauty box to hit the Indian market so decided to go in for one month's subscription at Rs 850 to see if its worth all the talk. Before I reveal the contents of the December box, here's some information about the brand that is striving to bring trial sized beauty products from top international and luxury brands right to our doorstep!

• Price of 1 box : Rs 850
• Get 5 trial sized beauty products (typically 2ml-10ml) from the top international luxury and prestige brands delivered to your door step every month
• Get Rs. 213 worth (25%) of ENVY points to redeem in our store
• Free Shipping
• All products are sourced from brands and authorized distributors in India
• Access to special deals
• Be one of the lucky 50 to get a copy of the latest Elle Magazine

The December box was delivered yesterday and getting an Elle magazine with it was a wonderful surprise. When I saw pictures of the previous month's boxes, I loved the orange color and was expecting the same. I got a white box though and not that white looks bad but I would have preferred the orange one. White looks too stark don't you think? Not to mention the fact that it will get dirty really fast!

The quality of the box is top notch though. It's made of cardboard, is sturdy and inside the products are wrapped in paper. There are five cards containing information about each of the products inside along with a welcome note with information about the brand and what's available on their website. 

Here's a list of what I got:

• Remy Laure Eye Contour Relaxing Mask (15 ml)
• Remy Laure Eye Contour Cream (15 ml)
• Remy Laure Eye Contour Gel (10 ml)
• Rene Furterer Naturia Gentle Balancing Shampoo (15 ml)
• Avene Rebalancing Soothing Emulsion (5 ml)
• Chloe Signature Eau De Parfum (1.2 ML)
• Bonne Maman Strawberry Preserve (Surprise!)

My thoughts on the service.

• Very glad that I did not get sachets and the sample size is actually not too bad. I did not expect full sized products because the brand explicitly states that it will only provide samples. Full sized ones someday My Envy?
• Liked the choice of brands and the combination of perfume, haircare and skincare. Bring on the makeup now please!
• Seven products is impressive and specially liked the addition of the strawberry preserve. Tastes good too!
• Price of one box at Rs 850 is definitely high but if they send me an Elle magazine, seven good quality products and also provide points to redeem at their store, I'm not gonna complain about the price too much
• Since its a fairly new service, they have not started personalized boxes yet but I do hope they start it soon so that everyone does not get the same things
• Will I subscribe to the Jan box? Think I will coz one little birdie told me sometime back that they might include makeup!
