July My Envy Box Review & Unboxing

Hi guys,

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.

MRP: Rs.850/- (Available HERE)

Let’s see what I got in this month’s 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.

What did you get in your July My Envy Box?

My Envy Box February 2015 Review

Read more about My Envy Box HERE and check out all the previous reviews HERE.

Check out my previous months’ boxes:

This time, the box was Valentine Special and curated by Miss Malini also called Miss Malini’s Box of Love. It was a black colored box  this time with a pink satin pouch inside..loved that pouch.

Also, there were two additional cards inside this time.A Sephora makeover card for oneself and a friend,sadly no Sephora in Mumbai and its a waste for me :/

Second was a Rs.500/- off on H2O+ stores card, will have to try that out, 2 stores in Mumbai thankfully.

What I got in the box:

Calvin Klein Reveal: Rs.4500/- for 50ml It smells amazing, strong and musky. Its my kinda scent.

LYN (Live Your Now) Nail Lacquer: Rs.350/- for 12ml Its a beautiful creamy pastel blue called No Morning Blues, I tried it out immediately. Dries quickly and love the finish. I am glad its a full sized 12ml quantity this time <3

SkinYoga Post Workout Neem Purifier: Rs.1550/- for 200gms Its a barley and neem post workout body scrub, waiting to try this out. I love SkinYoga products, happy with this one.

Vana Vidhi Himalayan Wild Rose Bath Salt: Rs.990/- for 15gms Bath Salts are a pleasure to use, especially when its pure,natural rose. It smells of soft,pure rose with no added scent/fragrance.

L’Occitane Immortelle Precious Youth Serum: Rs.4490/- for 30ml Not really a fan since its an anti aging range, I don’t like the fact that beauty boxes contain anti aging products unless specifically requested for.

Overall I loved this month’s box. A full sized product plus the other deluxe sized samples which are good enough to eat and smell fabulous. Use SkinYoga Neem Purifier post workout on Valentine’s Day, bath with the Vana Vidhi Himalayan Wild Rose Bath Salt, apply the LYN nail lacquer and spritz some CK Reveal 😀 #not #justkidding

Anniversary October My Envy Box Review

If you guys don’t know what is My Envy Box yet, go HERE.

So My Envy Box completed one year and we have an anniversary box this month. Its curated by Vogue India in association with their Vogue Empower project.

Check out my previous months’ boxes:

MRP: Rs.850/-

Its a gold colored box this time for the anniversary month. I love the red symbol embossing on the gold and the new compact size boxes since last month.

What I got in my box:

 

  • Clinique Take the Day Off Makeup Remover 5ml- Rs.1950/- for 125ml- Vogue Beauty Award Winner 2014. This is a good sample size.
  • SkinYoga Sandalwood Saffron Face Mask 5.67g small vial bottle- Rs.1395/- for 50g
  • Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum– 1.5ml x 2- Rs.5200/- for 30ml
  • Sebastian Potion 9 10ml- Rs.1450/- for 150ml
  • H2O+ Sea Salt Hydrating Body Butter 30ml- Rs.1450/- for 250ml
  • Tatouage Ephemere gold string tattoo– Its a temporary tattoo created by Annelise Toraille

I also got the Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief card but did not get the sample. It was anyways a 1.5ml sachet.

I wish the Sebastian Potion 9 was 2 sachets and the Estee Lauder serum either a slightly bigger sample or more sachets. I am happy with the Clinique and H2O+ sample sizes and that tattoo looks super!

I did not get one sample but since it was a sachet, its fine. I wish that was a bigger size too!

The box also had L’Occitane Spa La Vie Credit coupon of Rs.1000/- and an Estee Lauder card to learn one of their 6 tricks and maybe get a sample (if available) at any of their counters. Would try to find an Estee Lauder counter and would update you guys.

Overall, there are 1-2 hits in the box this time. I was expecting much more. Perhaps even a surprise little piece of jewellery or something. Vogue could have added a magazine subscription or something on their behalf too!

My Envy Box June Review

Read about My Envy Box HERE and see my previous boxes of Jan, Feb, March, April and May.

This time I got a nice lilac color box. (A break from pinks and peaches). I got the multi color pouch this time which was missing last month. Let’s see the contents inside..

What I got :

  • Innisfree Eco Nail Color Pro (Shade no.15)– Full sized 7ml bottle- Rs.300/-
  • Nina Ricci La Tentation De Nina Perfume –1.5ml vial worth Rs.144/- (Rs. 4800/- for 50ml)
  • Skinyoga Coconut Sea Salt Foot Scrub– 50g worth Rs.165/- (O.P- Rs.495/- for 150gms)
  • Kronokare Provencal Lavender Body Lotion– 35ml worth Rs.55/- (O.P- Rs. 345/- for 220 ml)
  • Thalgo Freshness Exfoliator– 5ml worth Rs.177/- (O.P- Rs. 1770/- for 50ml)

Total worth of the box comes to Rs.841/– plus you get the colorful pouch, the super sturdy lilac box (which is good for storage) and discount cards to buy the full sized products, and the shipping cost, and the price of the box being Rs.850/-, you can see how a total value for money it is ! (If the value of the Innisfree nail paint is Rs.300/- coz on few sites, I see it at Rs.200/-. Not really sure of that.) (Confirmed that there are two ranges..and this Eco Pro one is worth Rs.300/-)

Also many of you might not be very interested in these small luxury samples or do not consider it of much value, but I say if the samples are decent sized, then its better,that one gets to try it out and see if it works for them, and then spend that huge amount ! Same goes for perfumes..these 1.5 ml small vials are always helpful to judge whether you like a particular note or not.

I do think they should do away with Thalgo now..too much of Thalgo happening..and its always small 3ml or 5ml tubes which are hardly good for 1-2 uses. I like that there is second SkinYoga here and a good sized sample. And a new natural brand Kronokare included too which is also a good 35ml bottle, though can’t claim it to be a luxury brand. Nina Ricci La Tentation De Nina is a good qty small travel friendly vial..much much better than those sachet packs which are a pain to use.

And the full sized Innisfree nail paint is the best thing in the box..this time’s box is one of my favorites considering the value for money part. After the March box which had a Forest Essentials full sized lip balm.

Also, they give back 25% (INR 213 for a 1 month subscription) as ENVY points to use when buying full size products.  The 10% discount is valid on almost all products on the website for subscribers.

Overall, I do like it..better than the previous boxes where we only got tiny sized 2-3 samples and perfume sachets. I hope they continue to include one makeup item and one full sized product in the future boxes.

April My Envy Box Review

For those of you who don’t know what My Envy Box is..read HERE…and check out my Feb box HERE and March box HERE.

MRP: Rs.850/-

If you follow me on Instagram, you must have seen the pic of the products I got..

This time the box was a nice pink colored one..I loved it..always their boxes and packaging..though the cute pouch was missing this time..I guess coz 1-2 products were big in size..

There was also this 10% off coupon for the site www.monsoonandbeyond.com

Products I got:

  • Benefit Porefessional– 0.15 ml sachet
  • SkinYoga Almond Orange Face Scrub – 5.67g
  • Avene Sensitive White Whitening Essence -3ml
  • Za True White Day Cream– 5g
  • H2O+ Sea Moss Replenishing Body Wash– 60ml

Ok, so coming to the products..I only liked the SkinYoga and H2O+ samples..and I wanted to try out Za..so kinda that though 5g is too less..I am not a fan or endorser of Whitening products..so Avene Whitening Essence is not what I would really choose, if given an option..

And let me not talk about Benefit Porefessional..coz 0.15ml is too less for even one time use :/ Few boxes had Benefit Fake Up Concealer..and that was still a decent sample..I would have preferred if they would have sent some other brand’s deluxe sample rather than Benefit !

So the April box was a mixed bag..I liked only 2 products..I hope next month’s box has something better..I mean 0.15 or even 1-2 ml products should be avoided in my honest opinion ! ‘You know what I mean’ :p (Did you watch the Sonam Kapoor’s Koffee with Karan episode ? If not, go watch now 😀 )
