My Envy Box May 2017 : Review

Nisha Malik — Fri, 12 May 2017 13:19:08 +0000

Hello, I was already feeling little tired & lazy today and then on the top, my May Subscription Box from #MyEnvyBox turned out to be an average one. It arrived today in the morning. I was not expecting it, yet, it showed. Great. Next I opened the box to check out the products of this months. I was greeted by 2 broken ampoules which were supposed to be the samples of Omofree skin toner. There was nothing left in the tiny glass bottles and the small amount of toner packed in the bottles, was all soaked up by the box itself. Next I located few samples from L’Occitane. There was a sachet (the tiniest & the thinnest they could make) of hand cream. There were another two even more tiny sachets of face cream and serum. What’s the point? Single usage samples really put me off. They are useless. Here is the list of the products that I got in #myenvybox. The Nature’s Co Mango Creme Body Wash (Rs. 695 for 150ml) Cheryl’s Dermashade Sunblock SPF 30 (Rs. 550 for 50gm) GreCobe – Green Coffee (Rs. 70 for 1 Sachet, Rs. 540 for 30 sachets) Fuschia Herbal Fusion Shampoo (Rs. 450 for 100ml) L’occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream (Single usage sachet) L’occitane Reine Blanche Illuminating Serum (Single usage sachet) L’occitane Reine Blanche Illuminating Cream (Single usage sachet) Omorfee – Mellow Drizzle Skin Toner – Found broken 🙁 Let’s move on to the good part of the box. Actually the box itself is a treat to eyes. The light green colored box has water melon slices printed all over. My son really liked the box as he loves water melon very much. The Nature’s Co Mango Cream Body Wash It smells of Mangoes of course. I love mangoes (who does not), but I can’t eat them since they break my skin like hell. It would be relaxing to use a Mango body wash instead. After all, the aroma of mangoes is as exotic as it’s taste. Heavenly Sweet. Cheryl’s Dermashade Sunblock The sunblock is a nice addition to the box. I have used Cheryl’s Dermacleanse face wash for acne, and I was really impressed. The sunblock is something unspoken necessity all year long. This sunblock is supposed to suit all skin type. I shall try it on my oily & acne prone skin. It is bit costly than other regular sun blocks giving the amount of SPF it has (only 30). But may be it has got some other hidden benefits. Will let you know. GreCobe – The Green Coffee Just one sachet? Not fair. But I would try it. Though I am a tea lover, or would go for a cold coffee, if I have to. I have promised myself to get over my addiction to tea and try healthy alternates. Not a fan of Green Tea though, but who knows Green Coffee can hook me up. Fuschia Herbal Fusion Shampoo I have been seeing my fellow bloggers to rave about this new brand a lot. Now it’s time that I too try it. Fuschia claims that this is a handmade shampoo containing more of herbal ingredients such as Aloe Vera, Brahmi, Shikakai, Lemon Extracts, Amla Extracts and some very good essential oils. This sounds very exotic. Will be happy to try it. L’Occitane En Provence Samples This is a premium luxury brand and is really costly too. Hence, they send out only single usage sachets. Which I think does not serve much purpose. How can a cosmetic product be so potent that it will work in the very first use. I have used such a sample from Smytten Box also, which did not deliver much in single use. Omofree – Mellow Drizzle Skin Toner This is a new brand. I was not aware of Omofree, before receiving its sample in my box. The skin toner was packed in two 2ml glass ampules which were found broken as I opened the box. I can see a wet spot in the box. So this was My Envy Box for May 2017. I think you must be already aware of the products since the brand releases a video of the products even before shipping out the box. That kills all the suspense. Fab Bag is much good in keeping it’s products undisclosed (well, most of them) until you receive them. About the may box, It is a decent box, if I overlook the broken vile & single usage L’Occitane samples. The body wash, shampoo & sun block are decently sized products to deliver many uses. And I see some happy faces 🙂 I conclude this article here. Have a nice evening, fellas. Love.

Plum Green Tea Alcohol Free Toner

Hi girls, what you looking for? A green tea toner? that too, alcohol free? Oh I see, I guess Plum heard you then. Interested to know further? I am going to talk about Plum Green Tea Alcohol Free Toner. I hope you don’t think, you don’t need a toner, because, you actually might need one while not knowing it. Plum Green Tea Alcohol Free Toner This is an alcohol free toner targeted for all skin types. It mainly contains anti oxidant Green Tea, moisturizing Glycerine, and exfoliating Glycolic Acid. It mildly exfoliates your skin, rejuvenates it and moisturize it. Over a period of time your skin’s texture improves. How did I stumble upon this toner? I have used Keya Seth’s water for oily skin, aromatic skin toner, vichy normaderm pore tightning toner, rose water and some others in past. I am not a regular toner person too, but summers & rainy days, breaks my skin a lot. Few months ago, I was bored of using Vichy Normaderm Toner, I just started hunting for a new toner online. I had used few products from Plum earlier, like its night/day creams, face masks & face washes. While browsing through Plum’s website, I liked green tea infused toner which was devoid of alcohol & parabenes. Plus it also contained glycolic acid. It was an impulsive buy. Price You have to shell out Rs. 390 rupees for 180ml liquid. Buy from Amazon. Packaging It comes in a white sturdy bottle with flip top. Ingredients Aqua (water), Glycern, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Glycolic Acid, Ethylhexylglycerin, FDA approved colours, Fragrance. Texture, Color & Smell It has clear watery consistency. Initially I clicked a photo to show it’s consistency, but then it looked like water, so I skipped that photo. Its smell is quite pleasant. I think Plum likes to have a particular smell for all the products that come from a single line. The green tea face mask, I used from Plum, used to smell the same as this toner. My Skin Type I have oily, acne prone & sensitive skin. My Experience With Plum Green Tea Toner I bought this during extreme humid days. The first time I opened the flip top of the bottle, I inhaled a refreshing smell. It was very familiar smell. Then I realized, oh it smells exactly the same as that of the Plum green tea clear face mask . On a side note that face mask was a favorite too. Coming back to the toner, I liked the fact that there was no trace of alcohol. When I applied this toner, I felt little sensation, maybe because of the presence of the Glycolic acid in it. I liked that fact too. For me, it was a sign that it has something that could make my skin react in a positive way since the sensation was mild. The only fact I didn’t like about this toner was that my face felt oily within an hour of wearing it, even though I was not wearing any moisturizer. So it made me realize that its not really for extreme oily skins like mine or it should not be used during humid days. If I had normal/ dry skin, this toner could have been my HG toner. After 2 months, when the humid days were over, I tried it again. It actually surprised me by not turning my face oily within an hour. My face did not feel oily until next 2-3 hours. So I decided, this toner needs a second chance. I don’t recall getting acne on its account, since I could not use it much. It’s lying in need-a-second-chance bin. I think I am gonna give it a try this winter. I like it or not, but my acne prone, oily skin likes only alcohols. Weird? Maybe that’s why I am quite satisfied with my current toner. Likes: The main ingredients are so impressive. Green Tea + Glycerine + Glycolic Acid. Green tea is excellent anti oxidant. Glycolic acid boosts dead skin turn over while Glycerine moisturizes skin. Alcohol & Parabene free. Smells very nice. Moisturizing. Will work amazingly for dry/normal skinned beauties. Did not break me out or gave any kind of rashes even though it contains Glycolic acid. Toners generally last long, because you need very little quantity to swipe across your face. This one is no exception. Dislike: Not suitable for oily skin during humid days. Final Words: I am planning to use it in coming winters, since it has got green tea and I am a fan. But dry/normal skin girls, you should definitely give it a try. UPDATE: I could not use it during Winter too, since It felt sticky. So I am letting it go. Nisha Malik ❤ Facebook | Instagram
