The theme for this season's box was "Spring Paradise." The theme/contents card is decorated with a cheery watercolor flower design.

Here's the content card listing all items included in this season's box.

As with each Makeup Box, Vegan Cuts included a "Vegan Beauty" sticker.

Jersey Shore Cosmetics My Lash Secret Eyelash Curler - Value $30

This was my first time receiving an eyelash curler in a box. I have one that I love (from Shiseido) but I'm always up for trying something new. The contents card lists this as a "Bonus Beauty Tool" with a $25 value, though I found it on the manufacturer's site for $30. I like the simple packaging design with the blue single lashes forming a wispy print around the product name. The curler is made of matte black carbon steel and included a replacement pad.

This curler doesn't have the quality hand-feel that I'm used to in a curler. While matte black usually adds a higher value feel to metals, it makes this curler feel less smooth and less sturdy. Simply said - it just didn't feel good in my hand. I really had to work and squeeze to get a decent curl.

BWC Full Volume Mascara - Value $25.95

After curling my lashes with the Jersey Shore Cosmetics curler, I applied the BWC Full Volume Mascara. It applied smoothly with no clumps and was a nice deep shade of black. I've only had success with waterproof formulas as regular mascara always transfers to my undereye area but this one seems to be holding pretty well. It has a light, natural smelling fragrance that's hard to accurately describe. It doesn't smell like chemicals!

Here's a closer look at the volumizing spoolie.

HAN Skin Care Cosmetics Romance Eyeshadow - Value $13

This all natural ingredient eyeshadow is in a lovely rosy-brown shade. The formula is nicely pigmented and blends easily. It has a nice shimmer that adds a pretty glow to the eye. I always go for neutral shadows and the rosy color in this one is different from the colors I already own, and it looks very nice with my very fair complexion! This and all the other makeup items are swatched at the bottom of this post.

Here's a closer look at the shimmer, color, and texture of the shadow.

Manna Kadar Radiance Split Pan Bronzer & Highlighter Duo - Value $21

This split pan from Manna Kadar has a shimmery highlighter and shimmery bronzer. Although the bronzer is too dark for me, and I prefer matte bronzers, I like it very much as an eyeshadow. The highlight shade is very pretty and wearable, especially as a brow bone highlight. Both shades are swatched at the end of this post.

Here's a closer look at the split pan.

Elate Cosmetics Moisturizing Lip Gloss in Divine - Value $14.26 USD

This product was available as the customizable option in this season's box. Vegan Cuts sends out a color preference survey where you pick your first and second choice from a list of options. This pretty coral shade was my first choice. I love pairing orangey-coral shades with my red hair. This sheer gloss applies evenly and smoothly and adds a nice bit of shimmer. I think this color is great and the formula was very hydrating. The gloss also has peppermint essential oil mixed in which gives it a refreshing fragrance and a light cooling feeling on the lip.

It's such a nice touch to have a bamboo wood lid on this gloss!

Here are the swatches! From top to bottom: Manna Kadar highlighter and bronzer, Elate Cosmetics Lip Gloss in Divine, and HAN Skin Care Cosmetics in romance.

Verdict: The Vegan Cuts Makeup Box for spring had a value of $104 which is great for a $39.95 per quarter box. I love that the Makeup Box always includes full-size products with vegan and natural ingredients. It was fun to get an eyelash curler this season but it was not a winner for me. I will use the eyeshadow often and am already getting a ton of use out of the lip gloss - the Divine coral shade is the perfect color for spring. This is a great box for those who love vegan cosmetics and want high-quality products every quarter. I recommend this box for anyone who is having beauty product overload from monthly boxes and wants just a few wearable, great ingredient products every season.
