Christen Russo
ByChristen RussoAug 17, 2025 | 0 comments

Love Goodly is a non-toxic and cruelty-free vegan subscription box that sends a mix of 4-5 full-size beautywellness, and lifestyle items every other month for $34.95 (with free shipping). They also offer a VIP subscription for $48.95, which comes with an additional full-size product (or two). Every purchase supports a different cause each month.

This review is for the VIP subscription for $48.95 every other month.

This box was sent to us at no cost for review. (Check out our editorial guidelines to learn more about how we review boxes.)

Note to Canadian Customers: "As of October 28, 2022: At this time, we have paused shipping our bi-monthly subscription boxes and prepaid box plans to Canada; however, you can still purchase the Single Essential or Single VIP Box to ship to Canada. Current active Canada customers are not affected."

Inside the August/September 2025 Box

Happy birthday to Love Goodly! I'm so happy you were "born"—this box is my favorite way to find vegan, non-toxic, eco-friendly, organic, charitable beauty brands, and after all this time their offerings continue to feel fresh and not formulaic at all.

Love Goodly now sends 1 postcard with a QR code to provide information about the products. If you would rather take a look on desktop, you can find the info on the Love Goodly site, under Current Box. VIP subscribers will receive an extra product, and while previously there was a second card describing it, the new online format has it listed first. Nothing has changed with their referral program—if you refer a friend to Love Goodly, you each get $15 off your next box.

Vielle Beauty Signature Formula Serum, 1 fl oz – Retail Value $38

Is there anything this oil can’t do? Vielle Signature Serum is the ultimate multi-tasking MVP—the brand calls it “peace in a bottle” and I'd have to agree. This botanical serum-oil blend is as versatile as it is effective, nourishing skin, hair, nails, and cuticles while surrounding you with a soft, soothing lavender and honeysuckle scent. It's powered by jojoba oil (to mimic skin’s natural sebum), castor oil (to soften and support regeneration), and antioxidant-rich botanicals, so you can count on it hydrating deeply without a trace of greasiness.

Lavender never, ever gets old, but something about its pairing with honeysuckle here really gives it new live and an extra layer of healing aromatherapy. Lately the humidity has been down but we're still swimming up a storm, so my legs have been really dry. I've been putting a few drops of this oil into my body lotion to supercharge the rejuvenation. I'll certainly use it on my face too, and the one time I did so far, the lovely scent lingered for quite awhile.

Flyte.70 HazyView.Dense Eyeshadow in Landslide, 0.05 oz – Retail Value $26

Oooh, moody. Landslide a rich taupe-mauve—a gorgeous, unique shade but one that puts fear in infrequent makeup wearers like me. Ha! I will say that testing it on my arm, the formula blends like a dream with zero chalkiness thanks to plant-based squalane and fatty acids. I can just see the seductive eyes that that could come of this shadow, but I don't personally have the skill set to pull it off.

The top swatch was applied using the brush that came in this box, and the bottom one is applied with my finger. It's a great, layerable shade.

Bonus: FLYTE.70 Cheek Trio Sample — Free!

April/May introduced us to FLYTE.70, a beauty brand that really impressed me in every which way, and part of what I loved was their lip trio sample. This time around we were sent a free cheek trio sample, with creamy pigments in a variety of shades so you can sort out what works for you before purchasing full-size. But what differs from the lip trio is that these cheek shades could truly all work together.

I wanted to show you how the colors look with light shining on them in two different ways, because they really are quite dynamic. The top one is HazyCheek Heartbreaker, a pinky coral that's such a fun shade and I could see myself wearing this on my lips! The middle is HazyCheek Look of Love, a more bronzed but still dewy tone. And on the bottom is a GlowBack Lucent Light in the Just Like Heaven shade, which is the one we received full-size in the spring. It's a warm-toned highlighter that glistens so sweetly and I've reached for it for every single special occasion. Truly a great combo!

Orglamix Eco Chic Eyeshadow Brush – Listed Value $10

Love Goodly often considers how to make their curation make sense, including thoughtful details like this medium flat brush. It has a bamboo handle, recycled aluminum ferrule, and soft, synthetic taklon bristles that are 100% vegan. The protective sleeve is corn-based and therefore biodegradable.

TUSOL Matcha + Ashwagandha Smoothie Mix, 1 Serving – Listed Value $7

This BALANCE Smoothie is a matcha-based blend that tastes like a treat but works like a functional wellness formula. It’s packed with pumpkin seeds, ashwagandha, spirulina, wheatgrass, and barley to help reduce stress, support gut health, and gently detox. Prebiotics, probiotics, and enzymes are in there too, so it helps fight bloat while keeping your microbiome happy.

I'm not a huge matcha person—too earthy for me—but I was too curious about this smoothie mix's claims that it tastes like ice cream so I had to try it. I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk and ice, plus a small chunk of frozen banana and a few cubes of frozen cooked sweet potato. It's very creamy, and the matcha flavor balances out the sweetness. Not for me, but still interesting to try something different from my norm.

VIP: Zatik Relieve Eye Serum, 1 fl oz — Retail Value $28

This eye serum is super light and fresh. The texture is silky but weightless, sinking in quickly with no tackiness, no greasy film. The blend of pomegranate, eyebright, chamomile, and rosehip feels soothing right away (and smells good, too), and the matte finish makes it perfect under concealer if you're the concealer-wearing type.

I especially love that it’s certified organic and loaded with botanical extracts, so it feels like self-care and skincare in one pump. If mornings aren’t your strong suit (same, girl), this is the kind of pick-me-up that does the eyes a favor.

Verdict

This month’s picks felt like a well-rounded little beauty buffet—an all-purpose oil that truly does it all, a moody eyeshadow that’s equal parts easy and elegant, a smoothie that tastes indulgent while working hard behind the scenes, and an eye serum that delivers instant refresh. Nothing here feels like filler; each product earns its spot with something unique to offer.

Value Breakdown: The Love Goodly bi-monthly VIP box costs $48.95 + free US shipping. VIP subscribers received 5 items this month. That breaks down to $8.15 per item. (But really it's 6 if you count the free cheek tint sample, which could get you multiple wears!) The total retail value inside the VIP box is $109, which doesn't count the value of the cheek tint sample. Non-VIP subscribers are promised a value of $70+, and I added everything from the regular subscription up to a total of $71.
