The Vegancuts Beauty Box is a monthly beauty and makeup subscription box. All of their products are vegan (and they tend to be natural, too). They also typically include a nice mix of full-size and sample beauty items. Vegancuts also offers a monthly Snack Box and quarterly Makeup Box.
This review is of the $22.95 a month Vegancuts Beauty Box.
Vegancuts sends a single package to subscribers who get both the beauty and snack boxes. The beauty items are separated into a little bag, which looks like more of an environmentally-friendly material than the old bags. (If you do not get the snack box, I don’t think you get the little bag.)
This box was sent to us at no cost for review. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes.)

Vegancuts Beauty Box January 2020 Review
The Vegancuts Beauty Box usually contains a variety of haircare, skincare, and bath and body products. There’s often one makeup product, as well.
We are back to having information cards this month. There was also a coupon for one of the brands in the box.

Aura Cacia Tranquil Chamomile Aromatherapy Mineral Bath (2.5 oz) - Retail Value $3.57
This brand shows up in Vegancuts every now and then but they do a good job of spreading around the product types (last time we got an oil that is working really nicely for my hair). This is enough for one bath or, if you use it like I do, at least 2-3 heated foot baths. It's a wonderful, calming scent for right before bed, too!

Plantfusion Complete Plant Collagen Builder - Listed Value $3.99 (Buy 11.43 oz for $43.99)
Well. This is an unusual inclusion. I mean, it's not any stranger than getting those Hum Nutrition gummies in other boxes, I guess. Although there is a great deal of scientific evidence showing that oral consumption of collagen has numerous benefits for the hair, skin, nails, and such, vegans and vegetarians are well aware that collagen is derived from animal tissue, so we can't take it. This has some of the amino acids found in collagen (obtained from plant sources, of course) as well as some compounds that promote collagen production. I mixed it into my smoothies over a couple of days and it blended well although I had to add a bit more liquid than usual. You would need to consume this daily for a long time to see an effect, though.

Honestly pHresh Naturals Sugar Mint Prebiotic Deodorant (2.25 oz) - Retail Value $9.99
If you have read some of my other reviews, you will know I am not a fan of natural deodorants. But, this one is free of baking soda and I have been home all week, by myself, so I figured I would give it a try. I didn't smell particularly bad at the end of any one day but I should also note that it is the middle of winter and my house is cold and I just wasn't sweating (not even particularly much during a workout in my frigid basement exercise room). I ended up giving up because I still want an antiperspirant, but this seems pretty gentle if you are looking for something of this nature that is free of baking soda, and it does smell good.

Fleur & Bee Eyes Eyes Baby Anti-Aging Eye Cream (0.6 oz) - Retail Value $22
This was probably my favorite item from the box. I love really thick eye creams for nighttime. This one is unscented and appears to have no artificial dyes, and it is gentle and hydrating and non-irritating. (For what it's worth, I have been inundated with full-size eye creams from subscription boxes lately. This is one of the ones I like best but if anyone has any suggestions for what to do with the ones that I don't care for as much -- for example, using them on my neck -- I am listening.)

Delia Organics Lemon Drop Hydrating Face Balm (1 oz) - Retail Value $15.99
I don't know what to make of this. It is absolutely solid in the container and gives the appearance of having separated into two layers (but I can't access the bottom layer; look at the side of the semi-transparent jar in the first picture and you can kind of see a dividing line). This is not the sort of product I can use on my face, it's just too thick and has too much oil (and yes, I do use facial oils). However, it smells fantastic ("lemon drop" is a good name for it) and since I started using this on my rough elbows, they have become much smoother. (If you are interested in this brand you may want to get in on the February Pearlesque Box.) This would also be a good heel balm.
Verdict: I calculated a value of about $55.54 for this month’s Vegancuts Beauty Box. It's maybe not the most exciting Vegancuts Beauty Box ever, but the value is more than twice the month-to-month cost of the subscription, and I quite liked the eye cream, which was worth almost the cost of the box on its own (as well as being a new brand for me to try). Everything this month smelled quite nice too (except of course the eye cream, which was unscented).
