September 2013 SAHSHE box review, unboxing, photos: International Beauty Box

Unboxing Cosmetopia Digest   Friday, October 11, 2013

By now, you know I love hunting out and trying beauty boxes that ship internationally. Blame the local-beauty-box-that-sent-out-2004-palettes for this. I discovered the SAHSHE box purely accidentally, by stumbling on their website which was linked elsewhere, without even knowing it was a beauty box!
The SAHSHE box was set up by Carron White and Ruth Fombrun, who met at Princeton University and thought beauty boxes offered too few options for "coloured women". Before you jump to conclusions, the personalisation quiz is so detailed, it lets you choose from photos of a variety of skin tones. So unless you're NC25/20 or paler, this box should work well for everybody. One of my pet peeves is the fuss made about skin colour, so I'll get off that hobby horse now. You can also choose your hair type from pictures. There is a computer programme that matches products according to your profile. The quiz is very detailed; do try it out on their website anyway.
I adore the neither-box-not-clutch envelope-shaped box. I hope they retain this design forever.

An exhaustive product brochure; no personalisation or kisses, yay! The September SAHSHE is themed "Fresh off the runway".
