Violet Box - Build-A-Box! Unboxing & Review!

Hi everyone <3

Two posts in a day! Whoa me, gotta slow it down :P

Most of you fellow Australian subscription box addicts have probably already heard of Violet Box's monthly subscription, but have you heard of their "Build-a-Box"?

It only lasted for 48 hours and is no longer up unfortunately - I can't find any evidence of it online! Top secret stuff guys!

It's very simple though - for $25 (including postage) you pick TWO makeup items, TWO skincare items and TWO "other" items! :) Sounds great already, right?

I wish I took screenshots of what you could choose from! There was lots of Doucce, Starlooks, Bioderma, Coastal Scents, Suki, Laqa & Co.. just to name a few brands off the top of my head =)

Here's what I picked!





The box it came in wasn't great, but oh well :P

THE VANILLA CANDLE SMELLS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AND I HAVE ABSOLUTELY ZERO REGRETS. ZEROOOOOO~~

So many pretty colours in the Go Palette Beijing - can't wait to play with it a bit =)

And I am quite a big fan of my current Chella eyebrow pencil. I wanted a darker colour and a darker colour I got! Win.

Here's me talking and unboxing and stuff. :D


If you don't want to miss out, I guess you'll have to like VioletBox's facebook [x] because they posted on there when it started =)

Until next time!

Chow! Ciao! (?? Chow and Ciao!)

Violet Box: June 2014 Unboxing and Review!

Hello everyone!

I actually subscribe to boxes other than Memebox. I think that's a big surprise to everyone :P

Imagine my surprise when an odd shaped, padded bag appeared at my doorstep this evening. I thought it might have been a makeup pouch I recently ordered off ebay, but in fact, it was actually ~~~

A makeup pouch that was acting as the box for the June 2014 Violet Box!

This was my first ever Violet Box so I was very excited. And that is how the pouch looked out of the packaging - that big bottle was sticking out and just tempting me so I just had to tear into the contents.

Oddly enough, I couldn't find a card. So here is me loving you guys and dedicatedly researching this all.

♥ GHD Straight & Tame Cream 120ml -$24 (from the Hairhouse Warehouse website)

♥ Appelles Apothecary & Lab Tamanu Conditioner 60ml - $6.80 (150ml full size for $16.95 at Appelles website)

♥ Appelles Apothecary & Lab Blacksheed Shampoo 60ml - $6.80 (Appelles website)

♥ Bioderma Sebium Pore Refiner 15ml - $11 (30ml full size on amazon for $22)

♥ Strange Beautiful Nail Polishes - $3.95 (Is what I guesstimate based on this)

♥ Chella Luscious Light Brown Eyebrow Colour - $18 (Full Size from Chella website)

♥ Caddy Cosmetic Case in Loopy - $22 (Estimated from similar pouch here)

Total Value: $95.55

I paid $5 so I am very happy with this month's Violet Box! For $20, now that I've crunched the numbers, I think this is very decent!

Please do correct me if I'm terribly misled on any of these figures =) I did try to do a decent amount of research!

As always, my unboxing video can be watched here;

With love,

Athy xoxo
