My August Vellvette Bag Review
Last week, Vellvette did a poll whether we preferred a pouch as in the June Travel Edition or the classic black box. Very promptly, Vellvette sent us a bag this month, clearly declaring the winner. Satisfactorily, mine arrived pretty early too. I got 3 goodies packed in the black version of the previously pink pouch. Have to say, the black looks classier than the pink one but is just as handy. Happy to pile these on!
My August Vellvette Box/ Bag contained the following:
1. Sally Hansen Lip Plumper - Sheer Cherry
2. LA Splash Glitter Mascara - Abyss
3. H2O+ Waterwhite Advanced Brightening Hydrator Cream

1. Sally Hansen Lip Plumper (Full size worth Rs. 775/-):
This lip gloss smells like a combination of cinnamon and bubble gum. It says on the packaging that it might tingle a little and as promised, it does tingle (not a little). On first application, I felt like the lip gloss is literally trying to poke, sting and irritate my lips into swelling up! Soon enough, the stingy feeling subsides. Once that's gone down, the lip gloss isn't too bad. The texture is fairly smooth, smells good and surely makes the lips look fuller (nothing exponential though). I got the shade Sheer Cherry/ Cherry Red but gives a light pink tint to the lips. I find this very wearable but preferably with a lipstick to enhance the transparent shade. The brush applicator is a positive add-on.
2. LA Splash Glitter Mascara (Full size worth Rs. 895/-):
I am glad I got this mascara instead of the hair cream/ cleansers few others have got. I can't thank the Vellvette team enough for sending me the black shade and not the blue one. This mascara definitely gives a clump free application and makes the lashes look longer as claimed but does nothing the volume of the lashes. I particularly like the ease of use of the applicator as compared to other brushes that usually touch the eyelids creating a mess. The mascara claims to have glitter and we do see tiny golden specks of it on the bottle but they are in pretty futile on application.The mascara didn't budge even after I rubbed my eyes several times. Thumbs up for being smudge proof as claimed. This product is very usable on a daily basis where creating dramatic eyes is not the aim.
3. H2O Waterwhite Advanced Brightening Hydrator Cream:
This product came in a super-tiny sample size. And by super-tiny I mean super duper tiny (just 8gms)! Although I am excited to use this and was in need of a skin brightening moisturizer, I really wish they didn't send such a midget of a product. I am not even sure it will last long enough to make a difference. Well, I hope it goes a long way at least in it's performance.
As always, the Vellvette box this month is value packed. Loaded with 2 full sized products and a sample, it's value this month is over Rs. 1670/-. Lets not forget the pouch which is a starlet in itself. The best part is that I find all products fairly tailored to my preference and employable in my regime.
Somehow, I feel I usually receive less products than most others. Ugh! EVERYONE receives 4 products but me (y u hate me vellvette?)!
I am looking forward to the September box which is supposed to be their anniversary box. I hope it is way better than this month. Although this month was satisfactory, there was no OMG factor. Are you renewing your subscription?
