So I finally got the October My Envy Box, this is their 3rd anniversary box and all the teaser emails where making me very curious, they had mentioned they have 8 products in this month’s box.
The box this month is a plain white one with black web design on it and it says ‘turns three’ below the My Envy Box logo.
I got the Zebra print black and white nail wraps in Nertia. I have tried the Gulnare face wash before and it’s quite good. The Ayca Jasmine Body Wash also smells really nice.
I am not much into whitening cleansing facial foam as they make my skin super stretchy and dry. I would have liked the essence though which is another option in the box. I wish My Envy Box gave options to subscribers on what they can choose in terms of shades or products, if they have a few different ones to offer. That would be very convenient.
Love the Forest Essentials Cleansing Paste, I wanted to try this one out, glad I got this. Also this is perfect for travelling. Even the Kerastase Chronologiste vial is perfect for travel.
The Vert Loose Powder is made from all natural, dried rose petals. It has a strong pink undertone and can be used as a blush or eyeshadow. This would make a beautiful blush! But the quantity is good enough to last a few generations 😀 I would suggest splitting it to half or 1/4th and sharing it with your friends/family.
The total value of all the products in this month’s box comes to around Rs.3750/- I am quite happy with the products, 3 are full sized while 3 are super deluxe samples.
I definitely recommend this month’s box! Total value for money.
Did you get the Oct My Envy Box? What did you receive?
New Luxury Beauty Box: VanityCask | Review & Unboxing
Hi guys,
I have come across a new luxury beauty box in the market which is VanityCask. I tried their skincare box this month and here are my thoughts..
About: VanityCask is a beauty box that gets delivered to your home periodically. It contains samples of luxury beauty brands, handpicked by experts, to suit Indians. Our first box, for example, contains 5 skincare samples from international brands such as Clinque, Vichy, Votre, Kama and Thalgo.
This is their first skincare box, next they are coming up with haircare and bath & body box.
It comes in a sleek, black box packaging with a magnetic fold. They have their logo in pink on top. The box is quite sturdy and nice, the contents inside are in a pink cloth tie up bag.
Products I got:
Clinique 7 Day Scrub Cream
Kama Ayurveda Rejuvenating & Brightening Night Cream
Thalgo Ultra Hydra Marine Mask
Votre Absolute Hydration Moisturizer
Vichy Capital Soleil SPF50 Sunscreen
Now I like the fact that they have not included sachets, but good decent sized samples. Especially Clinique & Votre are very good sizes. Even Kama Ayurveda night cream is pretty decent size. I would have liked 2-3 more tubes of Thalgo and Vichy though.
The box comes with a booklet which has more details about each box, including the key ingredients and directions to use. Also they have a few offers at the end, like this time they have the Anjali Mukherjee’s Rs.1000 voucher.
They claim to have luxury beauty brands only and each box will have 5 items. So that’s a plus point, as we know there would be no unknown brand and 5 items for sure.
I would have liked the price to be Rs.800-850 though, as Rs.999/- is a little expensive, but if I get a few more tubes of each sample, then I guess it’s fine. Also if they come up with a luxury makeup box, then I definitely don’t mind Rs.999/-. I hope soon 😀
Things I liked:
Decent sized samples
All luxury brands
Free Shipping & Payment on Delivery
Assured 5 items
Discounts & offers
Detailed booklet
Things that could be better:
Priced a little lower
More quantity of smaller tubes
Overall, I would say it’s a nice box to try if you love luxury beauty brands and would like to try more samples first, before investing in full sized products. Especially for people who don’t live in metro cities and do not have easy access to the stores to go and check out the testers or get samples. Now you can sit at home and try out these luxury beauty samples, and then order the full sized online, if the product works for you.
I got my September Lip Monthly bag a few days ago. Let’s see what all I got..
Lip Monthly Bag is a beauty subscription bag where you get 4-5 full sized lip products every month, it can be anything related to lips from lip balm, lipstick, lip butter, lip oil, lip scrub, liquid lipstick. Sometimes they add a pigment or eyeshadow too.
What I got:
J.Cat Wonder Lip Paint- $4.99
Starlooks Lip Crayon- $19
NCLA Nail Stickers- $11
Model’s Co Lip Liner- $20
Total Value: $54.99
MRP: $12.95
They have free shipping worldwide and you can get 50% off on the first bag using the coupon code ’50OFF’. Also they have much cheaper and value for money deals on 4 months and 12 months subscription plans.
Join today using COUPON CODE:
“3FREE” to get 3 months FREE on Annual Subscriptions!
“1STFREE” to get your first month for FREE on 4 Month Subscriptions!
“50OFF” to get your first month for 50% off on Monthly Subscriptions!
I am loving the colors, both the J.Cat Queen of Hearts Lip Paint and Starlooks lilac crayon are super unique and amazing. The Starlooks crayon shade is pretty similar to Aishwarya Rai Cannes lilac shade 😀 J.Cat is a dupe of OCC Lip tars and I can’t wait to try out this shade. It’s perfect for fall.
Even the Model’s Co. Lip liner is perfect for outlining and defining the lips.
I got my September My Envy Box just now. This month’s theme is ‘Travel’ and I absolutely love the suitcase shaped box! Definitely keeping this box 😀 It looks so cute, I love the designs each month.
Dermalogica Oil Free Matte sachet: Rs 3825 for 50ml
Kronokare City Detox Face Wash 30ml deluxe sample: Rs 395 for 100ml
TRUUTH Beauty Formula Tablets: Rs 400 for 30 pills
Ma Earth Botanicals Rose Facial Scrub 40g Deluxe Sample: Rs 875 for 125g
C.A.L Detail Me Mascara: Rs. 450 for 12ml
C.A.L. Muah Collection Lip Gloss: Rs 450 for 10ml
Unfortunately my Kronokare face wash leaked inside the box, half of the face wash smeared all over the box. I cleaned the box and let it dry, I hope it doesn’t feel soapy or sticky.
The Kronokare City Detox face wash has grapefruit oil and lavender oil. It smells really good, looking forward to try this.
Another product that impressed me is the Ma Earth Botanicals Rose Scrub, it’s in dry form with crushed rose petals in it. Smells absolutely amazing, I am most excited to try this out.
I got two full sized makeup products from C.A.L. I have never heard of this brand, so I searched a bit. CAL Cosmetics LA is a new Indian brand and have a range of face, eyes and lip products. I got the lip gloss in the shade ‘Spicy’ from their Muah Collection, not sure if it’s High Gloss or Stay On, but considering how pigmented and staining it is, I believe it is from Stay On Range. I love the bright coral colour and the staying power is pretty good for a gloss, it’s more like those Maybelline Velvet Matte Lip Colours.
Also got the CAL Detail Me Mascara. I quite like the gold packaging, the outer boxes for both the products were a little rusty. I am not sure why.
The TRUUTH Beauty Formula pack of 30 tablets is a new ‘supplements’ introduction in My Envy Box. It has Biotin, Collagen and claims to be good for hair, nails and skin. Since this has red mark, I am not sure if I will have these as I am a pure vegetarian. I wish they had included something with green mark which everyone can have, or confirmed before sending this or given an option.
And finally Dermalogica Matte Sunscreen small sachet sample, I don’t like sachets so don’t have anything much to say about this. Dermalogica always has super tiny one time use samples. If My Envy Box includes Dermalogica samples, they should include at least 4-5 of these.
Also this month My Envy Jewellery Box has Simran Chhabra designs, you can get extra 10% off using ‘SIMJB10’ and get the box at Rs.2205/-
Overall I quite like the Ma Botanicals Rose Scrub and looking forward to try both of the CAL products. In terms of value for money, this month’s box is definitely total value for money! You get 3 full sized and 2 deluxe sixed samples worth Rs.1700! Recommended

I also have a giveaway going on, where one of my Youtube subscriber can win the August Globox, join on my Youtube channel.
The bag is faux leather and navy blue with pink purple polka dots. It is quite sturdy and nice, quality wise.
Products I got:

Kronokare Anti Turm Repairing Hair Oil- Rs.225/- for 30ml
Just Herbs Malabar Lemongrass Body Wash- 50ml- Rs.545 for 200ml
Livon Serum 3 sachets worth Rs.15
I got an option to choose one makeup product from Geri G. this month. Geri G. Makeup products are a line of the Hollywood Makeup Artist Geri Giagnorio
Every product in this collection features Geri G’s proprietary Nanomarine-5 ingredient mix of omegas, antioxidants, aloe vera, proteins, and retinyl palmitate for your most radiant skin ever. All products are vegan and cruelty-free.
You can can choose from any ONE from : hydrating lip gloss, volumizing mascara, weightless foundation OR multi-purpose blending eye & cheek duo! Choice is available on first-come-first-served basis, till stocks last.
I went with the foundation in Medium and I am really looking forward to trying that out, I hope the shade matches well.
Apart from that the Lemongrass Body wash and Grapefruit Face Masque are quite interesting too.
I quite liked this month’s bag, apart from the full sized foundation, also for the deluxe sized samples. I do recommend this month’ bag but make sure you subscribe quickly to get makeup of your choice 😀
I just got the My Envy Box for the month of July. The theme is ‘Band, Baajaa Beauty’ and it’s curated by WedMeGood. The box itself is very pretty, it is neon pink with gold intricate work on it.
I had seen a sneak peek in the email and knew there were two full sized products from SkinYoga and Gulnare in this month’ box.
SkinYoga Marigold Foot Soak- Full Size (Rs. 695/-)
Gulnare Glow Girl Shimmering Dry Oil – Full size (Rs.1250/-)
Kama Ayurveda Kumkumadi Brightening Scrub -5g sample
Kama Ayurveda Hand Cream- 5g sample
Kerastase Chronologiste Oil- 3ml sample
In total there are 5 products in this month’s box, but except the 2 full sized products, rest of the samples are very tiny. I do prefer deluxe sized samples which have 30g or 30ml product, I do not like the 5g and 5ml tiny samples which hardly serve the purpose.
The foot soak and shimmering body oil do look interesting, but I would have liked body scrub or Gulnare moisturiser/hand cream.
Overall the value of the two full sized products do make up for the cost of the box, but I would suggest go for this month’s box only if you use/interested in trying out the foot soak or shimmering body oil. Or else, can skip this month’ box.

How many Indian subscription boxes have you tried till now?
It’s a cute bag, blue faux leather smooth finish bag with pastel pink lips print all over the bag, I quite liked the bag.
Products I got:
Sugar It’s A Pout Time Lipstick in Peachy Little Liars- Rs.599
Neemli Naturals Bengal Gram Exfoliator- Rs.425/- for 50g
Pep Moisture Velvet Shampoo- Rs.119/- for 50ml
Johara Instant Radiance Face Scrub- Rs.100 for 15g
Total value of the products: Rs.1245
Starting with the Sugar Lipstick, I am very happy to get this one in this month’s bag, I think I had got one earlier in March or April when they had launched, the shade was Mad Magenta. This time I got a chance to pick the shade and I went with Peachy Little Liars, they have added two new shades, one this and the other red.
I absolutely love the shade, it’s not a peach but more of a pink brown nude. I will be posting a pic wearing that on my Instagram soon.
Neemli Naturals Bengal Gram exfoliator is a clay based face pack which needs to be rubbed after it days, so that it even exfoliates skin. It is on the lines of a ubtan, and can be used both for the face and body. Though it is very expensive to be used for the body and you will need the whole pack for one time use, I will be sticking to using it for the face. It has multani mitti, turmeric, gram flour, rice flour and sandalwood powder.
I have the Johara Instant Radiance face scrub before (full review HERE) and quite like it, this sample is very tiny though, but this is good for travel and might last 3 uses.
I have never tried Pep Moisture Velvet Shampoo, this has Oat Proteins and claims to make hair very soft and manageable in few uses. This 50 ml bottle should last 7-8 uses, again perfect for travel. I am looking forward to trying this out.
I like the Sugar Lipstick and Neemli scrub, both the full sized products in the bag. I won’t say it’s a must buy, but you can if you want to try Sugar lipstick.
Also only members with 3,6 or 12 months subscriptions will get a chance to choose the shade, while others who buy only for this month, will not get the option to choose the shade.
June 2016 My Envy Box Unboxing, Review & 15% off Discount Code
Hi guys,
I got the June My Envy Box right now and the box is so pretty! I just can’t take my eyes off the box, they have a designer who designs boxes each month and I have been noticing fabulous boxes since the past 1-2 months.
I have tons of My Envy Boxes and I had to throw some old, plain ones previously as I was short of space, but I am surely keeping these pretty ones!! I love floral print and this is one of my favourite prints.
Herra Protecting Hair Perfume Oudh Inspired- 10ml (Rs.2495/- for 50ml)
Votre Purifying Deep Cleansing & Clearing Masque- 50g (Rs.1090/- for 100g)
Ck2 Perfume sample Vial
L’Occitane Divine Cream- 2 sample sachets
Ok, so it’s kind of a mixed thing this month, there is one full sized product and two deluxe samples and two small sachets.
I quite liked the O3+ Aloe Gel which is full sized. Absolutely loved the Herra Hair Perfume, I sprayed it immediately and it smells divine! Also this 10ml bottle is perfect to carry in your bag.
I love face masks and I don’t think I have come across a good deep cleansing and clearing masque in India yet. The Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay one is on my wish list, but I really liked the sound of this one. Looking forward to trying this one out and it’s 50g i.e. half the size of the product which is pretty decent.
Not really a fan of the perfume sample vial or sachets, so no comments on that. I would appreciate if subscription boxes/bags totally do away with tiny samples and sachets, even considering these two brands among the products in the box is unjustified.
So for me, these three are the main products and the ones I liked and looking forward to try. The value of these products in the box comes to Rs.1175/-
I have a 15% off coupon code for you guys this month too, both on the Beauty & Jewellery Box, it’s ‘NLMBHUMIKA‘. The beauty box post the discount code comes to Rs.722/-.
I would not say this box is a must have, but I liked the three bigger products, if you do not like even one out the three, then skip. If you like these three, then give it a try 🙂
