MY Envy Box: September 2015 : Review

Hey everyone!

I like the concept of subscription boxes, it gives us a chance to try out new products which we usually would not try due to its nonavailability or because we are not aware of them. In fact I found 2 of my favourite products  through subscription box, that been said not boxes are worth the cost or the hype. None the less let's look at today’s box: September box from My Envy box.


My Envy Box is monthly subscription box that sends high end product samples, usually 4 -5 samples each box . Subscription starts at 850 INR for 1 month. ”

Price:

1 Month: 855 INR
3 Month:  2250 INR
6 Months: 4350 INR
1 Year:  8500 INR

You can get it Here

As I said earlier I was not really fond of My envy box but after August Envy box, I kind of got hooked on it and got 3 months subscription.

Coming to the box unlike last time September's My envy box doesn't have any specific theme as such. Also as compared to August my envy Box this month’s box is bit disappointing, but not bad.... just a bit dull.


Packaging:

September My Envy box in plain silver grey box with logo on the top, nothing fancy or innovative here, like I mentioned before bit drab as compared to its predecessor

Box contains 4 products: 2 Full size product, 1 super deluxe sized and 1 small sample size product.  I particularly like it when I get  full size product  in subscription boxes.




Products in September My Envy box:
  • Catrice Lipstick : Full size : 3.8g ( 610 INR)
  •  Sebastian Penetraitt Shampoo : Full size: 50 ml (300 INR)
  •  Davidoff Coolwater shower gel : Deluxe Sample (Full Size 150ml : 1800 INR)
  •  Za Total hydration Fresh Foamy cleanser :5ml sample (Full Size 100g: 299 INR)

My Take on products:

 

·        Catrice Lipstick : Full size 3.8g ( 610 INR) Shade : 380 : Nude-tastic

I love Catrice products, I already own an eyeliner from this brand and I completely love it, hence I was delighted to see a full size product from Catrice in My September Envy Box. The color I got is Nude-tastic which is true nude and does not suit me at all. As it is  not really my shade and washes me out completely I was slightly miffed but the lipstick in general is really good, it stayed on for 4-5 hrs and is very moisturising. I would love to try more vibrant colors from this range for sure.


·        Sebastian Penetraitt Shampoo : Full size: 50 ml (300 INR)

This is another full sized product in this month’s box. It is hair strengthening and repairing shampoo. I have already used their  hair moisturising shampoo and liked it quite a lot so looking forward to using this one.


·        Davidoff Coolwater shower gel : Deluxe Sample (Full Size 150ml : 1800 INR)

This has to be the highlight of My September Envy box, a deluxe size showe gel from Davidoff. If any of you have ever used Davidoff Cool water perfume then this smells exactly like that. I really really like this smell and was ecstatic when  I got this in September months My envy box..


Za Total hydration Fresh Foamy cleanser :5ml sample (Full Size 100g: 299 INR)

Next is a really small sample from Za facewash which is just 5ml, This would probably last me 2-3 washes. I like za products and know that I would most definitely love this face wash as well but I really wished the size was bit bigger.


Over all September month's My envy box is not a bad box, but it is very disappointing after setting a bar so high with last month’s My envy box. Hope next month’s box fares better than this one.

Ratings: 3/5

My Envy Box: August 2015 - India Mon Amour : Review

Hey everyone!

Subscription boxes have taken our world by storm. We now have so many  boxes that choosing one is quite a task.My today’s review is about My Envy Box. : August Box-India Mon Amour 

subscription box, My envy Box, August envy Box, Envy box August 2015

Theme of My Envy box for month of August is  India Mon Amour which is French, for Love My India  for Independence day , Though why French is beyond me ..They could have kept it Indian and themed it in Hindi..

Any ways.. For all those who don’t know about MY Envy Box Subscription here is a little information:

“My Envy box  is a monthly subscription box that has high end product sample. Usually it contains 4 -5 sample. Subscription starts at 850 Rs for 1 month. ”

3 Month:  2250
6 Months: 4350 Rs
1 Year:  8500 Rs

You can get it Here


I have taken this box on –off for few times. In beginning I was not very impressed by the product quantity (but quality cannot be argued with) but last few boxes have impressed me to great extent. July My envy box was complete value of money and this month’s box is beyond doubt one of best box ever curated by My Envy box team

This month’s box is themed after Ayurveda , which is one of best contributions from India to world after Zero . Envy Box team has definitely managed to captured the spirit of our rich heritage with this box. It is indeed so indigenous.

Packaging:

This month’s box is oxblood red in color with logo in gold on the top depicting the images that represent India the best. Sheer thought that must have gone into deciding the packaging of this box is mesmerizing. Needless to say I totally loved this month’s packaging as well. It is very beautifully done keeping the theme in mind.

Moment I opened the box I could take a whiff some beautiful smell. All the products in this box are “Made In India “and are 100% herbal. Box contains 4 products ranging from skincare, fragrance and eye makeup, 3 are Full size products and 1 is Deluxe Sample size product.

My Take on products


Soultree Ayurvedic Kajal : True Blue Full size (Rs.350/- for 3g)

It is made using ayruvedic process which is almost 3000 years old, and is made using tradition techniques. I already have this one in Black so a colored Kajal is always welcome. I find it Bit hard bit that’s ok. It has nice blue color and can be used as eyeshadow or eyeshadow base, Only down side is that it smudges and creases a lot. But still happy to have a full size product..

Hedonista Oudh Frozen Ittar-  Full size –(Rs.1045/- for 20g)

It is one more full size product and that to from the brand that I like a lot. I have received a mask from same brand in one of my past envy box and I completely love it.  Hence I’m extremely happy to receive it. It is 100% natural and organic solid perfume made from dehnal ,  Coconut and pure attar. It smells simply divine. This is my favorite product from the box. It is very convenient to carry it around while travelling but I wished it dint have tub packaging as I hate dipping my hands in it to remove product. It lasts for 7-8 hours. I used it the day I got it, I applied it while going to bed and could still smell the mild fragrance in morning.

Suganda Neem Green Tea Mask- Full size (Rs.900/- for 60g)

This mask consist of powdered blend of neem , rice and green tea. It is specially formulated for acne prone skin. You just simply have to mix it with rose water or normal water make a paste and apply it. I have never tried products from this brand before so not very sure but the powder is very silky soft and has very herbal smell. I have high hopes from this one as I have acne prone skin

 Forest Essentials Iced Pomegranate & Kerala Lime Body Mist- Sample 50ml (Full size for Rs.1475/- for 100ml)

For fourth product there was choice between Forest Essentials Body Mist and SkinYoga scrub, I was desperately hoping for body mist as I wanted to try it for long time. Don’t get me wrong I love products from Skinyoga, but I wanted this one more.

The body mist smells slightly of pomegranate at first and later notes are more citrus. I love the smell. It gets absorbed it body very quickly and leaves behind enticing smell.
