FIRST IMPRESSION
This is an adorable box! I love the maze pattern, and the color combo is fresh for a winter box.
ON TO THE ITEMS!
Air Repair Complexion-Boosting Moisturizer
Size: 0.24 oz (Full size: 2 oz.)
RV: $2.76 (Full size: $23)
This is technically a face cream, but I use it for my hands. It’s the turn of the season, which is always tough for my sensitive skin. This one works pretty great for on-the-go moisturizing. My day-to-day purse is tiny, so I’m always grateful to have products small enough for me to carry without taking up too much space!
Davines MOMO Moisturizing Shampoo
Size: 2.5 fl oz (Full size: 8.45 fl oz)
RV: $8.58 (Full size: $29)
Wow, this scent is so unique in a shampoo. It’s like lemons and cut grass! It makes me nostalgic for summer. This is made with yellow melon extract, and it makes me want to seek other products with this ingredient. It’s so fresh!
Dr. Lipp Moisturising Colour Tint – Sweet Potato
Size: 0.1 fl oz (Full size: 0.27 fl oz)
RV: $2.95 (Full size: $7.99)
This tinted balm is another product with an awesome ingredient: sweet potato pigment! It’s 100% natural, fragrance-free, and additive-free. Another great item to add to my tiny purse!
Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray
Size: 1 fl oz (Full size: 8.5 fl oz)
RV: $5.41 (Full size: $46)
Oribe has great quality hair care products, so I’m excited to get one in this box! This texturizing spray smells really lovely. It also gives my fine hair some much-needed life.
The Beauty Crop Glow Milk Liquid Highlighter – Just Dew It
Size: 0.17 oz (Full size: 1.69 oz)
RV: $1.96 (Full size: $19.50)
How darling is this packaging??? I want to keep this just for the package alone, but I know I’ll be handing it off to a friend. My face already has a hard time combating shine, so I don’t need extra help from makeup products like this. So cute, though!
Davines MOMO Moisturizing Conditioner
Size: 0.4 fl oz (Full size: 8.45 oz)
RV: $1.56 (Full size: $33)
I’m not a fan of packets in subscription boxes, and I’m especially disappointed that this conditioner was sent as one when the shampoo came in a bottle. It just doesn’t make any sense to me because the shampoo is clearly sized for travel, and there is enough product in there for a week’s worth of use. This conditioner packet is only two uses, tops. This one’s a huge miss for me.
FINAL IMPRESSION
There were some hits and some misses in this box. Overall, it was just OK for me. Aside from Oribe, I’m new to the brands sent this month, so I’m glad to try some new products.
THE BREAKDOWN
Air Repair Complexion-Boosting Moisturizer: $2.76
Davines MOMO Moisturizing Shampoo: $8.58
Dr. Lipp Moisturising Colour Tint – Sweet Potato: $2.95
Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray: $5.41
The Beauty Crop Glow Milk Liquid Highlighter – Just Dew It: $1.96
Davines MOMO Moisturizing Conditioner: $1.56
Total: $23.22
At $15 per box, you’re paying $2.50 per item. I wish the highlighter and conditioner were larger samples so that the value would be there.
