Argan Dew Replenishing Hair Mask and Miraculous Argan Oil - Review

Argan Dew Replenishing Hair Mask and Miraculous Argan Oil

One beauty product that has garnered a lot of attention in the past 3-4 years is Argan oil. It's established that Argan oil does loads of good to the skin and hair and now there is no dearth of brands that make products with this miracle oil. One such brand that I came across recently is Argan Dew. They had tweeted that they would be interested to collaborate with bloggers for review of their hair care products and I immediately responded. About 10 days later, I received a parcel from Israel which included 10 samples each of the Argan Dew Replenishing Hair Mask and Miraculous Argan Oil daily hair treatment.

Inside My Envy Box April Edition

This month I was eagerly waiting for My Envy Box because I knew they would be introducing makeup and their Instagram pictures and teasers added to my eagerness. I've been wanting this to happen ever since they started out late last year and I'm so glad that the first makeup brand that that they got on board is Benefit Cosmetics.



Want to know what else I got inside the April My Envy Box and whether I liked the selection of products? Read on...

Inside the My Envy Box March Edition


Couple of days back I received the March edition of My Envy Box and here I am to share what I got inside the box. I'm sure by now you all know about My Envy Box but those who don't, do check out my previous posts to see what I got in the January and February boxes. 

This month, I got six products along with a 20% off discount coupon from one of my favorite online jewelry stores, Pipa Bella. Definitely using the coupon very soon. The other products are:

 Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask- Rs 950 for 100 ml/ Rs 1500 for 200 ml


I'm really happy to get two samples of the Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask because this is one product from Innisfree that I've really wanted to try. Right now, Innisfree has only one store in Delhi but My Envy Box will soon stock their products on their website. Eagerly waiting!

Eau Thermale Avene Very High Protection Emulsion SPF 50+- Rs 1250 for 50ml



Avene is a French brand well known for their skincare products and I'm very happy to get a sample of their best selling sunscreen. This is formulated for sensitive skin and is very light. I used this once and I loved how fast it got absorbed and that its not oily or greasy at all. The sample should last me about 3-4 uses and I'm definitely picking up the full size product.

Narciso Rodriguez For Her EDT- Rs 4100 for 50ml/ Rs 5800 for 125ml


Oh My God! This was love at first whiff! What an intoxicating fragrance and this is gonna be my next perfume for sure. I received four sachets of the perfume that you have to rub on to the skin. I absolutely detest these sachets and would much prefer a vial. Please My Envy Box, next time give me a vial. These sachets are so useless!

Issey Miyake Leau Dissey Homme Sport- Rs 3200 for 50ml/ Rs 4500 for 125ml


Three sachets again :(..Love the citrusy smell of this and I'm not giving them to any man. Will use myself :)

Eminence Organics Sour Cherry Whip Moisturizer – Rs 4393 for 60ml

Got a tiny sample of this super expensive product and I love the cherry smell. Reminds me of frozen yoghurt somehow :). The texture of the moisturiser is super smooth and it just disappears into the skin without making it oily. I think I can get about 3-4 uses out of the sample but the full size product is way too expensive!

Rene Furterer Okara Protect Color Radiance Enhancing Conditioner - Rs 1980 for 200ml

I'm now tired of getting these Rene Furterer samples and really want some other haircare brand. This is the third month in a row that I've got Rene Furterer :(. This time its a radiance enhancing conditioner that claims to protect colored hair. I've got colored hair so will try it out and let you know how good/bad this is.

Overall, I have mixed feelings about the March edition of My Envy Box. I loved that they gave the Pipa Bella discount coupon and the Innisfree and Avene samples but hated that I did not get a vial of that awesome Narciso Rodriguez perfume. Also waiting for makeup products to be included along with customized boxes. 

My Envy Box is priced at Rs 850. You can check out their website and subscribe here

P.S - The box was sent by the brand for review. My opinion is honest as always.

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!
What do you think of My Envy Box? Will you subscribe?
