Vegan Cuts Black Friday Deals – Limited Edition Boxes for $18

The third box is the Puppy Holiday Pack which is now sold out. Here is the list from Vegan Cuts and my comments.

1. Mudd+Wyeth – Banana Peanut Butter Yaffbar – It’s an energy bar tht you can share with your dog. I can see this being popular in certain circles. I gave this to my sister because it looks gluten-free. She can share it with my doggies.
2. Max & Ruffy’s – Tree of Life: Coconut, Molasses, and Flax Treats – The doggies weren’t too sure in the beginning. They did eat the treats. They are organic and USA made treats.
3. V-Dog – Kibble Sample – made in the USA
4. Natural Balance Pet Foods Inc. – Dick Van Patten’s Natural Balance® Vegetarian Dry Formula Sample – This has brown rice, oatmeal, pearled barley , peas and fresh potatoes. I can’t tell where this is made. Why ‘fresh” potatoes?
5. Eco Dogs and Cats – Sam’s Yams Sample – They haven’t tried this yet. It’s made out of sweet potato.
6. Paragon Pet Products – WHIMZEES Large Alligator. Made in Holland. For dogs over 25 lbs. I will have to make sure only my big dog chews it.
7. Formulary 55 – Good Clean Dog Shampoo Bar – This will be put to good use.
8. Miss Sarah’s Botanicals – All Natural Flea & Tick Repellant – Hope it works.
9. HealthForce Nutritionals – Green Mush – Powder that you mix and can be consumed by you too.
10. Barklogic – Flea & Tick Shampoo – Foil. Will try it out.
11. Bio Bag Americas, Inc. – One Bio Bag Roll (not full box pictured) – Always useful
12. Unicorn Treats – sticker- what else is there to say?

My spa lover ($28) came today and I LOVE it. Vegan Cuts lists the contents and PA Anna covers them well, below, so I won’t re-list in detail but just give my impressions (I got the exact same things that PA Anna did):
– Enfusia Coffee Scrub: Smells great, feels great, has argan oil in it.
– Face Oil (I took the plastic off with a steak knife): Feels GREAT! It has a roller ball which I think is genius and way less wasteful than a dropper. I can’t stop putting it on.
– Body Mist: I also got orange vanilla. Smells pretty good but not great.
– Bath Salts: Smell GREAT! Can’t wait to use them!
– Shampoo/Conditioner: Also smell great and I like the ingredients.
– Polish: I got High Maintenance… it’s a shimmery gold.
– Nail file: Nice.

I did quite a bit of shopping on Friday and Monday, and this might be my favorite purchase. I got the Mally purse and it’s ok. I got the Beauty Bar HUGE GWP and I’m very happy with that, especially for the money – that’s probably my second favorite- but it is all sample sizes. I got 2 100% Pure Mystery Bags – one was ok and one was great, but all the products were quite similar. But this Spa Lovers package feels luxe and well-curated, with a great variety of products that pamper you from head to toe, and they all smell great to boot.

Highly recommend – and it’s still for sale.

Love it so much I think I’ll cave and get Timeless Luxury.

Here is what I received in the winter wonderland box. I am going through their list first and then add in what is not on the list.

Vegan Cut’s List
1. Emani Vegan Cosmetics: Mineral Hybrid Cream – This is a compact with mirror. Color is Speechless. I have no clue how to use it.
2. NOUVEAU/ORGANICA: Organic cream eye, cheek and lip color – Color is compassion.
3.. Emani Vegan Cosmetics Lipstick – Temptress. I like the color.
4. Original Sprout: – Hair & Body babywash. My 6 year old will be using this.
5. Karitex: Shea butter – Going to melt it and use it for something. can’t wait!

The rest:

6. SkinAgain Youth which dimishes dark spots, loss of elasticity and hyper-pigmentation.
7. Jane Carter Solution Curl Defining Cream – Can’t wait to try it.
8. Jane Carter Solution nourish & shine for dry hair and dry skin
9. Jane Carter Solution condition & sculpt which is used for taming curls. Excited because I rarely receive anything for wavy or curly hair.
10. Jane Carter Solution nutrient replenishing Conditioner – paraben-free. I’m fine with the conditioner only because I use much more conditioner than shampoo.
11. Zabana Essentials clay facial cleansing bar – 2 samples. Both are french green.
12. Etta & Billie Rosemary Lemon Soap – Sample size. Smells good.
13. Antipodes Grace Gentle Cream Cleanser – foil packet. Looks like I can use it.
14. Grasse Roots Perfumery- Blood Orange. – sample size

I’m happy with my mixture of products. Lots of new things to try out.

I bought the $18 Natural Looks box, and also the spa lover and the winter essentials. (And I am still dithering about the Timeless Luxury. I covet the facial oil sooooooooo much….)

The Natural Looks box – one of the $18 boxes – arrived today! I am somewhat conflicted about it. It’s the exact May Beauty Box that Liz reviewed:
https://www.mysubscriptionaddiction.com/2014/05/vegan-cuts-beauty-box-may.html
– On the one hand, someone posted that the $18 boxes are past beauty boxes, and a rep from the company said that the $18 boxes are specially curated boxes (not leftovers) – except “very limited quantities of a few Vegan Cuts Beauty Boxes leftover from our Vault Opening sale”– I guess I got that.
– But, on the other hand, the May box was Liz’s favorite; she calculated the value to be about $90! It looks good to me, and I think I’ll like everything. I’ll be especially happy if I like the lotion.

I’m excited to get the next two!

I really like the picture of the Winter Essentials kit, but the “may include” list seems to have a lot of items not pictured (And in turn doesn’t mention a lot of the pictured items). Is there any way to have a rough idea of what is 95% likely to arrive/not arrive in the box so I don’t get a lot of products I’m not happy with?

Best,

The 18 dollar packs are actually past subscription boxes. They say you “may” get some products since they seem to be finishing stocks. The other LE boxes are marked as usual. Bummer.

I bought the $18 one and the spa lover. Was tempted by timeless luxury but really only for the facial oil so I talked myself out of it.

Note: winter essentials says that “these are some of the items you MAY receive”… It does not give an exact list like the other boxes do….I can’t buy like that.

I bought the Puppy’s Holiday Gift Pack. I was hoping that the Spa Lover would be marked down, but it wasn’t.
