Each box includes an info booklet that details each item and why Allure editors decided to include it in the box.
Illume Blackberry Absinthe Candle (Travel Tin) - 1 oz (5 Hours Burn Time) Value $4?
I wasn't sure if I would like this scent when I saw the spoilers for this box, but I really like the blackberry scent! And I always like getting travel tin candles in this subscription!
Avene Body Oil – 50 ml Value $6.50
This body oil is recommended for using after the shower instead of a lotion. The formula leaves a slight sheen on my skin, and I like the scent, so I think I'll be adding this to my post-shower routine!
SkinCeuticals Resveratrol B E - 3 ml Value $15.20? (Guessing on size since it isn't listed on the sample
(Subscribers will receive one of four SkinCeuticals products)
I like the formula of this product - it is a gel that absorbs quickly. I think the sample is way too small to be able to notice any differences in fine lines and skin tone to justify buying the full-size version ($152 for an ounce). I wish skincare companies sent out larger samples!
POP Beauty Kajal Pen in Inky Purple - FULL SIZE! Value $10
I get a ton of eyeliners in subscription boxes, so I was happy to see that this wasn't another black liner. It's a very deep purple shade. (Swatched below). The formula goes on smoothly and is paraben-free. No complaints!
Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer – .25 oz Value $9
This is a classic primer I’ve used many times over the years (thanks to subscription box samples) and I’m happy to have more. It makes your skin so smooth and does a pretty good job at eliminating shine.
Chapstick Total Hydration in Soothing Vanilla - FULL SIZE! Value $3
This is a bonus item! I can always use more lipbalm, and I didn't know chapstick made a 100% natural line, so this actually ended up being one of my favorite products in the box!
Klorane Dry Shampoo – 50 ml (Travel Size) Value $9
I have received Klorane Dry Shampoo a lot in subscription boxes over the years, so while I’m no longer excited to see it in a box, it is a great product and will be used eventually!
Verdict: This box has a value of about $56. I think that's a great value. Personally, I think I may be suffering from subscription box addiction heavily with this box, because I have so many of these items (Smashbox primer, Klorane shampoo, eyeliner) that this box just doesn't feel that exciting. That being said, I really like the candle, oil and lip balm - they are all new to me!
