Over the weekend I was busy attending weddings after all the official wedding season is on in Delhi. So on Monday I was invariably tired and in no mood to get up. Then I heard my husband shout,”get up now , your Vellvette Box has arrived”, hearing this all the tiredness seemingly vanished and I excitedly got up to check what’s in my bag this month.
As the wedding season is going on, so this month’s theme was Band Baja and Beauty as wedding season is incomplete without glowing skin and style that stands out. The beautiful pink pouch this month complements the theme and looks cute.
How it works: You get a Vellvette Box about the third week of a month after you place your order. I ordered for a three-month cash on delivery membership which is currently up for renewal. While ordering you are supposed to fill an extensive questionnaire about your skin type, love for makeup etc. This helps Vellvette customize the box especially for you.
You can order them online at www.vellvette.com
Claims: According to their fan page, Velvette is your opportunity to discover the best beauty brands at your doorstep. Receive 3 customized luxury beauty & cosmetics samples every month that are handpicked by our experts for you. Plus if you like a product, you can get fabulous discounts by purchasing the full sized products at Vellvette.com
Packing: The products were in a pink polka dot travel bag. On opening there were products, leaflets about the products and a small note.
Products received: This month I received a Votre Pore Shrink Toner, Flormar deluxe shine gloss lipstick, I Love…Coconut and cream and a Mary Kay Extra Emollient Night cream.
Votre Pore Shrink Toner : The product claims to minimise pores and make the face appear grease free for a longer duration. The problem of open pores doesn’t go quickly so I am using it and waiting for the results which I hope will show by the end of this toner.
Flormar Deluxe Shine Gloss Lipstick: The lipstick is enriched with the argon oil, Vitamin E, Omega 6 and cocoa butter which makes it ultra-hydrating. I prefer matte over gloss but I was carrying it around so tried it and sadly the lipstick was melted and so soft that a small piece stuck on my lips. The colour looks nice but is too glossy and doesn’t stay for long. PS: Keep it in refrigerator.
Love…Coconut and cream: The fragrance reminds me of a coconut toffee or a chocolate. This amazing white colour shower gel is very refreshing and creamy. (We have reviewed this here as another member received it)
Mary Kay Extra Emollient Night cream: Mary Kary products are trustworthy. This one is more like a gel but extremely concentrated and is initially oily when applied but gradually gets absorbed by the skin. It’s mainly for dry skin beauties and perfect for the drying winter months ahead.
Pros: I liked this month bag because of Votre Pore Shrink Toner , I Love…Coconut and cream and Mary Kay night cream was a bonus.
Cons: The sad thing about this month’s bag is that unlike last month there is no full size bottle secondly the lipstick is super soft and melts easily. Lastly the card for Mary Kay night cream was missing.
Price: INR 499/ month and INR 1099 for 3 months. You can also go for an annual subscription which would cost you INR 3600.
Rating: 4.25/5 (.5 for the melted lipstick and missing card.)
