Each box includes an info booklet that details each item and why Allure editors decided to include it in the box.
Malin + Goetz Peppermint Shampoo - 1 oz Value $2.50
(Good to know for swaps - this has a foil seal inside). This isn't the most exciting sample, but I love the fresh peppermint scent, and I like the Malin + Goetz brand too!
Bumble and Bumble Grooming Cream - .5 oz Value $3.50
This cream is designed to be used on damp hair - and I'd recommend using just a little bit at a time. (It is on the heavier side). I also was surprised by the scent - it's something I would expect from a hair product in Birchbox Man!
Eau Thermale Avene Cleanance Gel Cleanser - 50 ml Value $5
This cleanser is designed especially for oily and acne-prone skin. It is non-foaming, and I like the scent. I also found it to be gentle - just as described!
Salma Hayek Nuance Anti-Aging Cream - .265 oz Value $3.80
(This cream is paraben free and not tested on animals). I was worried when I saw it is scented with fragrance, but I found the scent to be subtle and pleasant. And the formula absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling soft. So, I like this cream more than I was expecting!
Benefit Cosmetics They’re Real! Push-Up Liner – .003 oz Value $3.60
I did a detailed review of this liner on the recent Birchbox CEW review (with swatch pictures) if you are interested! I'm happy to have more of this liner considering I think the sample is only good for one or two wearings.
Allure & butter London Nail Lacquer in Violet's Revenge - 6 ml Value $7.50
(Subscribers will either receive this color, or a light pink The Sweet Spot). If you love nail polish minis like I do, you may be interested in this 4-piece mini set!
Verdict: This box has a value of about $26. The product sizes seem good to me, but the value feels a little low for a $15 beauty box. I think I'll use everything in the box, though, so I guess it is still a decent value for me.
