beauty // petit vour august 2014 unboxing and review

Back again with another Petit Vour review! This month's theme was back to school and included two full size products and three deluxe samples. For those of you who aren't familiar with Petit Vour, it's a monthly subscription box that focuses on cruelty free beauty products. It's $15/month and you can sign up here!

Harvey Prince Journey perfume
full size: $55
sample value: ~$2.25

first impression:

This is my favorite Harvey Prince scent out of all the ones I've received in a Petit Vour box. It's a super spicy, musky scent. It's really strong at first, but gradually faded until it was completely unnoticeable after about 4 hours. Which was a little disappointing. I like the scent, but won't be repurchasing due to it's lack of longevity.

Rosemira Organics sweet coconut body butter
full size: $22
sample value: ~$2.00

first impression:

This literally has the consistency of butter, which I kinda like? It goes on pretty greasy, but absorbs within a reasonable amount of time. I would probably use this more as a nighttime moisturizer. It also doesn't really smell like coconut.. It smells a bit more like mango butter, which isn't a problem for me, but kinda misleading if you're into really strong coconut scents.

Beauty Without Cruelty natural eyeliner
full size: $12

first impression:

I normally don't like pencil eyeliners, so I'm a bit biased in saying that I'm not a huge fan of this. I prefer my eyeliner to be as close to true black as possible and I find that pencil liners usually don't deliver that. This would, however, be great for people who are really sensitive to a lot of cosmetic ingredients or for your waterline since this eyeliner only has five ingredients.

Mi-Me tangerine lip butter
full size: $5

first impression:

This lip butter smells amazing. Mi-Me was very generous with the tangerine oil. I didn't really find this lip butter to be effective until after using a lip exfoliant, so I will be using this as a nighttime lip balm.

Earth Body beauty mask
full size: $24
sample value: ~$3.50

first impression:

This was definitely my favorite product in the box! The smell is a little weird - like a spice mixture you would cook with, but I really liked it as a cleanser and how it also doubled as an exfoliant.

total box value: $24.75
