Our Love Goodly Review
Each box comes with an info card detailing the items included. There is also an additional card if you are a VIP subscriber ($48.95 a box).
Now, on to the items!
31 Bits Beaded Bracelet Duo in Bubblegum Pink and Cream - Retail Value $24.00
I have always rather liked the 31 Bits brand because it was always so creative to make gorgeous jewelry out of paper and it supports great causes. I also happen to be a big fan of small stacking bracelets, so these little ones were instant winners for me. I like that they included a neutral cream and a cute pink. These bracelets are lightweight and strung on an elastic string.
Bellapierre Brow Powder, 2 g - Retail Value $15.00
I don't ever use brow powder because I am messy and clumsy and I really don't like powder all over my space. I exclusively use brow gel, so I was initially disappointed with this item. The brown color was really great though, and I did have a tube of clear brow gel that wasn't getting much use so I decided to get creative. I dipped the spoolie brush head of my clear gel into this power and then added it back into its tube, mixing well. I then repeated until I decided the formula was dark enough for my brows and then applied as normal. It actually looked amazing! While I much would have preferred to not DIY a product straight out of a box, I am still happy to put this to use, especially since clear brow gels are something I get quite often as a sample.
It is a great brown.
Bellapierre Brow Brush – Retail Value $13.00 (Listed Value $20.00)
This was a nice inclusion for the brow powder above, though since I don't use powder, I was happy it could easily double as a liner brush. It worked really well, especially wet and in high-pigment shadows used as liners.
EvioSkin Rejuvenating Mask, 1.4 fl oz – Retail Value $22.00
I received a tube of this in my recent Bombay & Cedar box and I am pretty happy to have a second, especially since one of my friends fell in love with the formula too. This vegan and cruelty-free formula can be used as a mask or a moisturizer and has Cannabis Sativa seed oil along with other super moisturizing ingredients.
VIP Box Item: Bellapierre Mineral Blush in 'Autumn Glow', 10 g - Retail Value $50.00
Welp, this blush is orange. And not in a peachy, cute, fall-sort-of-way like I was hoping, at least not on my skin. Can I use just the tiniest bit and make it work? Sure! But I would never choose to make this orange blush work when I could choose from any of my other blushes that I love. I also think $50 is crazy for a blush. For perspective, you can buy Chanel, NARS, and so many other high-end brand blush formulas for less. On a positive note, this formula is smooth, highly pigmented, and made in the US.
Bronzer or blush? Neither for me, sadly.
Verdict: Love Goodly was not my favorite this time. I had to DIY the brow powder to find it useful in my routine and I just can't make the blush work. The cream and the bracelets I both liked though, so this wasn't a total wash. I think this box sold itself short by sending 3 out of 5 items from a brand that is notoriously commonplace in subscription boxes and seems to always have a retail value that makes me raise an eyebrow. The overall value of this VIP box is in the neighborhood of $124, which is still decent for a $48.95 box. I just personally wasn't impressed at all.
