Petit Vour: vegan beauty samples, $15/month
I paid: ~$15 in kind
Box value:$42.5 My value: $42.5
Enjoyment factor: ☺
Petit Vour is a monthly subscription box which sends out four cruelty-free and vegan beauty products. They are generally either full size or deluxe samples. This was the first subscription box that I tried, back last December, and while I liked it, I wasn’t crazy enough about it to keep subscribed. I had only really liked two of the four products I got.
I haven’t resubscribed to Petit Vour, but I was able to swap for the September ’15 box, knowing what was in it. I think this is a pretty good box for people who are into natural/vegan beauty products.
September Petit Vour box came with one full size item and 3 deluxe samples. I loved that two of them came in wood container – I’m just a sucker for wood. The total value of the box was around $43, and I plan to either use or gift all items. Beauty samples make great stocking stuffers.
This is what I got:
MSC Skin Care Exfoliating Body Scrub in grapefruit & spearmint, 1 oz, $3
This scrub has raw sugar, shea butter, sunflower oil and rice bran oil. It smells very nice. I’m not crazy that it comes in a wide-mouth jar, as that makes it easily contaminated, but it’s a small jar so it shouldn’t last very long. My daughter has been asking for body scrub, so this is going into her stocking.
Mahalo Pele Mask, 5 ml, $6.5
This mask is a mixture of clays, ashes and ground dried barks, roots, flowers and other natural ingredients. You mix it with one to two times as much water or yogurt, and apply to your face for 20 minutes.
I like clay masks, though I’m not sure my pipes do. I do love the little bamboo container. I am thinking I’m going to put this in my own stocking this Christmas.
Elate Lipstick in lively, 5 g, $17
This is a vegan lipstick in a “sheer pinkish” shade. I haven’t opened it or swapped it because I think it’d be a lovely gift. I’m not sure if to myself or someone else. I do love the wood container. It’s made in Canada.
Blissoma Cleanser, 2 oz, $16
This is an all natural cleanser that’s supposed to be great for oil, acne-prone and sensitive skin. I don’t really have any such problems, my skin actually does well being washed with soap, so I would definitely not buy it. But I am tempted to keep it, even though I have enough facial cleanser to last me a couple of years.
