THE PIP BOX BEAUTY ADVENT CALENDAR 2019 UNBOXING, REVIEW

THE PIP BOX BEAUTY ADVENT CALENDAR 2019 UNBOXING, REVIEW

Vegan Cosmetopia Digest   Monday, December 09, 2019

It is their second-ever beauty advent calendar, and it contains 20 full-sized products and four travel sized products from 21 brands, and NO product repeats from the last year. That's the way to go!
Meet The Pip Box. They are a vegan, cruelty-free monthly beauty box that ship worldwide. When I heard they were doing an advent calendar, I snapped it up, and guess what? It sold out while still on pre-order! Never managed to launch!
Despite having a beauty box, they assured me that there would be just the TWO products that had appeared in the beauty box - from Jan/Feb 2019. All other products in this advent calendar, I was assured, would be spankin' new. LookFantastic - and other advent calendars guilty of a bazillion product repeats - are you listening?

Vegan Cosmetopia Digest   Thursday, February 07, 2019

In February 2019, two exclusive beauty boxes are launching. These are not monthly subscriptions, but one-off seasonal curations that contain only full-sized products, and are worth a lot more than the asking price.
The first is the Beauty Expert Collection - The Vegan Edition, with fully #veganbeauty products.
The second one is LookFantastic's Rose Collection for Valentine's Day, where all products are rose-themed.
The Beauty Expert Vegan Collection costs £80 and is worth £180+, while the LookFantastic Valentine's Day box costs £60 and is worth more than £150. Both ship worldwide.

REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask Review

REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask Review

Vegan Cosmetopia Digest   Wednesday, November 16, 2016

Clean skincare is British beauty brand REN's USP. I haven't come across a single REN product I didn't love, from their eye cream to the ClearCalm Clay Cleanser.
REN products are always free of parabens, sulphates, silicones, PEGs, TEA, DEA, glycols, mineral oil, petrolatum, synthetic fragrance and artificial colours. Nor are they tested on animals.
You must have seen samples of the REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask in some of my empties posts. It is a "potent bio-active peel mask designed to renew the complexion, reduce fine lines and dramatically improve skintone."

Vegan Cuts August 2016 Beauty Box Review

Vegan Cuts August 2016 Beauty Box Review

Yes To Carrots Cosmetopia Digest   Wednesday, September 07, 2016

With postal systems across the world being paranoid about terrorism right now, every package coming into and going out of any country is taking ages to arrive at their ultimate destination. That's why I only got my August Vegan Cuts beauty box in September. At least they didn't confiscate the whole thing and accuse me of smuggling state secrets.
Vegan Cuts is a cruelty-free, vegan beauty subscription that ships worldwide. The boxes contain a mix of four to seven makeup and skincare products, including full sizes, and the average worth of a box ranges from $40 to $60. Best of all, they promise never to include a foil sachet. This alone makes them look good in my book. They will be releasing a quarterly makeup-only beauty box shortly.

Vegan Cuts Cosmetopia Digest   Saturday, May 28, 2016

A 100% cruelty-free and vegan beauty subscription that ships worldwide, Vegan Cuts has been on my must-try list for a while now. I have particularly loved their special assorted beauty kits - see my review of the Vegan Cuts Essentials Box here. Their Summertime Adventures Beauty Box is on sale for just $23 - see contents here`. Monthly boxes cost $22.95, with long-term subscriptions costing less per box.
The May 2016 box (PR sample) is Summer-special, curated to keep you feeling "sweet in the heat". There are five products in the box, of which three are full-sized.

Vegan Cuts Beauty Essentials box unboxing

Vegan Cuts Beauty Essentials box unboxing

Vegan Cosmetopia Digest   Monday, April 28, 2014

Since I am black-and-blue all over after yesterday, I decided to unbox a very special beauty box, which is cheering me up no end. I know I have been loving quite a few beauty boxes of late, but wait till you see the contents of this one! 
Don't you love it when you buy a surprise box and the results pay off? For a while now, I have been considering trying out the Vegan Cuts box. This is a US-based monthly beauty box that ships worldwide. They also have a snack-box, but I don't think they ship eatables everywhere. And, the defining feature of this beauty box, if you had your eyes closed till this point, is that the products are entirely vegan!
I didn't pick the monthly box because I saw the Vegan Cuts Beauty Essentials kit on their website and fell in love with it. This is a specially curated vegan beauty box packed with makeup and skin and hair care products to start you off on vegan beauty. You are going to have to spend some time on this page, for the goodies are many!

Here is what I received in the Vegan Cuts Beauty Essentials box.
