MyTake on this Month's Box

Its an interesting curation this month. Apart from the regular makeup, skincare and perfume, there is this footwear protection spray. I'm looking forward to using this completely new product. Forest Essentials is my favourite and I am glad they have sent me the teenage creams since i have very oily and acne prone skin, so i'm hoping these two creams will not be too heavy for my skin. The Votre After Sun Mist is also a welcome addition to the Box. I love a cool spritz on my face after an outing in the sun. I am loving the Essence Nail Polish and Eyeshadow. I have used them both and they are really nice! As for the Calvin Klein Eternity Perfume? Who does not like a vial ti keep in the purse and spray it on when the occasion demands?

Total Value of Box: INR 2076/- (approx). Excellent, sine you pay only 850/- for the box. 

Overall Verdict: Just go for it!

My Envy Box March 2017 Edition

Hi Everyone!

We are moving from spring into summer. It means that the air around us is changing. So our beauty regimen needs to change too. Starting from skin care and make up, to fragrances, pamper yourself from inside out. The theme itself for this month is RELAX. RENEW. REFRESH

My Envy Box will help you pamper yourself as the season shifts. Let us see how.....

The Box itself looks lovely and fresh with water - colour floral accents. 

Gardener Street Tea - Glow

Product Price: INR 450/- for 20 sachets

Sample Size in Box: 3 sachets

I love green tea. And when it comes enriched with hibiscus and marigold, it jus reaches another level! 

All Good Scents Jasmine and Rose

Product Price: INR 1190/- for 50 ml

Sample Size in Box: 2 vials 2 ml each

Perfumes are perennial, but it is an essential in summers! These two fragrances, rose and jasmine are very typically Indian. I have always been partial to floral scents and I'm happy that these two are part of this month's box.

Eyova Hair Oil

Product Price: INR 590/- for 50 ml

Sample Size in Box: Full Size

I did not know about egg oil. Now I do. I am really curious about this product and I'll let you know how it works for me.

Essence Lip Liner in 15 Honey Berry

Product Price: INR 129/- for 1 gm

Sample Size in Box: Full Size

This month MEB allows you to choose your preferred makeup product. They offered 3 variants of Essence Lip Liners. I like this idea since I can pick colours I do not have or those more suitable for my complexion.

Wicca Beauty Potion

Product Price: INR 700/- for 15 gms

Sample Size in Box: Full Size

I've used this product a couple of times. On first impression it did not feel very moisturizing or hydrating on my skin. The air is quite dry with very low humidity right now. So I'm going to reserve my judgement of the product till I use it in the more humid months.

Neemli Coffee and Cocoa Body Wrap

Product Price: INR 550/- for 75 gms

Sample Size in Box: Full Size

A product to pamper the body too. I love coffee. I am looking forward to trying out this body wrap!

Total Value of Box: INR 2086/- approx. Great value for money since you pay only INR 850/- for the box!

Overall Verdict: I really like this month's box. It brings you not 4 but actually 7 products, of which 4 are full size. Each of the sample targets a different beauty concern. I would say, close your eyes and buy it!

February 2017 Edition: My Envy Box

Hi All!

I seem to be running behind all the time! This post was due at least 10 days ago and here I am burning the midnight oil trying to get it ready to be published.

It does not help to complain, does it? So let's just get started....

I am loving the pattern on the box this month. The theme is Indo-French beauty and the box design reflects the thought. So you have the shimmering Eiffel Tower representing France and India's national flower lotus sharing space.

There are four products in the Box this time from L'Oreal Paris (product made in India), Votre (again made in India, but with a Frenchified name), Avene (made in France)and Gulnare (very Indian).

L'Oreal Paris Kajal Magique Bold

Product Price: INR 350/- for 0.35 gms

Sample Size in Box: Full Size

Well, OK. I had not like the regular Kajal Magique. I hope this one is an improvement.

Gulnare Gold Dust Highlighter

Product Price: INR 950/- for 20 gms

Sample Size in Bag: Full Size

I've quite liked the stain it left on my finger tips when I lightly brushed my finger against the product. I haven't tried it on my face though. Do watch out for a review in a bit.

Avene Micellar Lotion

Product Price: INR 1200/- for 200 ml

Sample Size in Bag: 20ml

I'm a fan of micellar waters and I'm quite happy to get this product in my bag. It should last me about 10 uses. then I can use the little bottle as a refill when I'm travelling. 

Votre Face Serum

Product Price: 1670/- for 12ml

Sample Size in Box: Full Size

Hmmm. I've used this face serum before and it did not do much for me, though some beauty bloggers had loved the product. 

Value of Box: INR 3070/-. Really good deal if you have paid only INR 850/- for a month's box!

Overall Verdict: There are 3 full sized products in a box of 4, so that is definitely generous! However, for me, personally, the Box did not have me jump with excitement. Though i am truly curious about the Gulnare Highlighter. But if you like the products you should definitely go for it, its more than your money's worth!

January 2017 Edition of My Envy Box

Hello All!

How is the new year treating you so far? I was slightly under the weather due to the cold wave, but now I'm much better.

So how does the first 2017 Edition of My Envy Box look like?

The theme this month is #Getupandboogie. The box has a retro, vinyl record on the foreground, with disco lights twinkling in the background. Very 70's. I love the box and it will make a great gift box!

And what's inside?

Hedonista Hair Perfume

Product Price: INR 1210/- for 100 ml

Sample Size in Box: 50 ml

Hair perfumes seem to be getting quite popular in recent months. I'm looking forward to using it and letting you know what I think about it.

Essence XXXL Shine Lip Gloss

Product Price: INR 229/- for 5ml

Sample Size in Bag: Full Size

I'm already using it and it has the slightest hint of colour and is not annoyingly sticky. Promising. 

Essence Lash Mania Reloaded Mascara

Product Price: INR 349/- for 10ml

Sample Size in Box: Full Size

The product promised long, voluminous lashes without clumping. But I haven't opened it yet since I have a couple of other mascara tubes to get through. But no worries, it has a fair amount of time before it' time is up. So we'll just have to wait for this one.

Bombay Perfumery Fragrance Kits

Product Price: INR 500/- for 5 vial

Sample Size in Box: Full Vial Kit

Wait for a full review. 

P.S.: I love perfumes....

Cheryl's O2C2 Radiance Lotion

Product Price: INR 1050/-

Sample Size in Box: Full Size

I was really excited to see this one, till I read the product description..... "not suitable for sensitive and acne prone skin". I am both, so :(

Approximate value: INR 2778/-. Wow!

Overall Thoughts: Its a great box, with good curation. Only thing that makes me a bit sad is the radiance lotion. I can't use it. But just because I can't,  it does not mean you can't. Great value for money too! Go for it,for yourself or as a gift. Great start to 2017!

My Envy Box December 2016 Edition

Hi Everyone!

So, in just a couple of weeks we will bid farewell to year 2016 and ring in 2017. But before we do that, let's take a peek into the last My Envy Box of the year.

The theme this month is Lashes and Pouts. So the box is accented with stylized eyes and lips. The pattern is very attractive and is definitely going out with the next birthday gift!

KronoKare - The Frizz Kiss Lip Balm

Product Price: INR 95/- for 10 ml

Product Price: INR 150/- for 5 gms

Sample Size in Box: Full Size

Gubb Eyelash Curler

Product Price: INR 299/-

My Thoughts:

When I first opened the box, I wasn't sure what to think. Two lip balms, an eyelash curler........ But when I examined the box more closely, it wasn't so bad. To begin with, all the products are full size. 

And then there is the Roots and Herbs Undereye Tailam that looks promising. 

Total Value of Box: INR 2284/-. So a good deal if you have paid INR 850/-.But you needn't. Just look below for a discount!

My Envy Box February 2016 Edition.

Hello Everyone!

Its that time of the month again when we do a quick round-up of My Envy Box beauty subscription. This month My Envy Box has joined hands with Forest Essentials, one of India's premier luxury ayurvedic brands. Forest Essentials celebrates its 15th Anniversary this month, so this month's Envy Box has exclusively Forest Essential products!

In October, last year, My Envy Box had come in for a lot of flack for a very poorly curated box. Since then the team has tried to win back its loyal customers. This month, however, they have pulled the proverbial rabbit out of their collective hats!! They are back in the game!!

Total value of the Box: INR 2215/- . A wow deal, considering you can buy this box for INR 850/-!

My faith in My Envy Box has been restored!
