First Impressions
1 of 4
This month's box is "The Calm Box," and it is full of clean beauty products to help you slow down and ease into this holiday season.
Kinder Beauty has embraced a "choose your own adventure" approach to their subscription; they offer 3 base or "foundation" products, and you can choose one product from each of two categories. Kinder was kind enough to send us each product in both categories so you can get a better look at this month's choices.
The Choices
1 of 4
The first category included a choice of three makeup products and tools. Choose between Wander Beauty Double Date Eyeshadow Duo in Smitten/Swoon ($26 value), Athr Beauty The Big Bang Mascara ($28 value), or Alamar Cosmetics Brush Set ($18 value).
1 of 4
In the second choice category, you get to choose one of two products, including Province Apothecary Moisturizing Oil Cleanser + Makeup Remover ($22 value) or Kinder Beauty's Embroidered Headband ($18 value).
My Choices
Wander Beauty Double Date Eyeshadow Duo in Smitten/Swoon - Retail Value - $26
1 of 3
Wander Beauty is such a great brand. I've tried a few things from them from subscription boxes, and I've never been let down. Eyeshadow singles and duos can be so hit or miss; I have so many palettes that have a variety of finishes and colors that excite me, so if I am reaching for a single or duo, it has to be eye-catching and special.
I am so happy to report that this duo checks all the boxes. If you're looking for a metallic twosome that can create a dimensional look and can go from day to night, look no further. Plus, the packaging is so pretty on this one. Swipe on the cream base, then pat the powder shadow on top, and boom! You have a 30-second eye look that will look phenomenal for any upcoming holiday gatherings.
Kinder Beauty's Embroidered Headband - Retail Value - $18
I've said it once, and I will say it again: if you do not have one of these soft, plush headbands, take a leap of faith. I won't use any other because now they're all inferior. It is just so comfortable, and for those days when I am feeling lazy around the house, my hair goes up on top of my head in a knot, and I slap one of these on and it doesn't budge, yet, it is gentle enough to not dig into my head or abuse my ears. A+ design!
Foundation Products
Each month, Kinder Beauty sends out three base products. This month stacked up relentless clean skincare to help you wind down.
Symbiosis London Damascan Rose + Hibiscus Nutrient-Rich Bamboo Mask - Retail Value - $25
1 of 2
This Damascan Rose and hyaluronic acid mask was just what I needed to give my skin a little pick me up. I was happy it didn't strictly smell like roses; it had a pleasant floral smell that lingered on my skin even after my nightly skincare routine, which I couldn't be mad at. I left this sit on my skin for 15 minutes until I felt like my face soaked up all the mask had to offer. I patted my face with the excess serum and when I woke up the next day, my skin felt refreshed and felt more supple.
Pure'Am pH Balance Calming Toner - Retail Value - $19
Toner is something I left in the early 2000's, but somehow I found my way back to it within the last few years, and boy, things have changed for the better! No more astringents or oil-sucking alcohols on this face. Pure'Am's formula offers pH balance to your skincare routine, setting your skin up for success for the rest of your skincare products to do their best work. Triple hyaluronic acid, vegan ceramide™, and organic cica give your skin a soothing, softening effect, and I love that there is no fragrance added.
EVIO Hydrogel Eye Therapy 6 Box Set - $18
I reviewed this product for KND by Kinder Beauty's Holiday Edition. Here is my first impression:
Recently, eye masks have been a savior to my under-eye. Hyaluronic acid works its magic in these eye masks causing the under-eye to appear hydrated, youthful, and glowy. I keep a pair of these in the fridge at all times, and when I am ready for them, they are nice and cold and feel so refreshing. After wearing them for about 15 minutes, I will take them off and pat the excess serum on my skin.
I quickly finished my first box of these, and now that I have another, I will probably fly through these as well. My under-eyes have been thanking me ever since I found them, and I have to keep chasing that.
The Verdict
This month's Kinder Beauty Box has ended the year with a bang! It has been another year of fabulously clean beauty and getting introduced to wonderful products that not only look good but they're also good for your skin/body and are gentler on the environment. I have been a proud subscriber since the very beginning, and I have never had one complaint about any of the products I've received or the service. Every month I look forward to unboxing, but this month, it seemed like Kinder was reading my mind. My complexion has needed some TLC, so Symbiosis' mask came in handy, while I also was missing my under-eye masks from Evio Skin that I had just run out of (and I am now completely hooked on them!). I also love the Wander Beauty Duo, and I am thrilled to have another headband to add to my collection. It has been another great box, and I am looking forward to many more in 2024!
The element of surprise and experimentation that subscription boxes offer is still there with the three base products everyone receives, but choosing two things has made this subscription even dearer to me. This month’s box variation, including the two products I selected, has a retail value of $106, which is a fantastic value for its cost of $27.
