After being bombarded with Facebook ads for Birchbox, I decided to look into getting a subscription to one of the many beauty boxes available. Birchbox seems nice, but the products look pretty cheap and I already have a lot of cheap makeup that I never use. After a while of searching I discovered Petit Vour. All of their products are gorgeously packaged and luxurious. Most importantly, they are 100% natural, organic, hypoallergenic and cruelty-free. The box is $15 a month, and so far the products have definitely been worth it.I ordered my first box on October 31st. Unfortunately, due to some shipping issues and the company moving, I didn't get my box until late in November. So far I've gotten 3 boxes and not a bad product in a single one. My favorite products so far have been the Caru Skincare Co Rose Facial Serum, French Girl Organics Lip Tint (in rose) and the Pacifica Devocean Lipstick.[responsive][/responsive]For this month their box was themed Merry & Bright. It features Trust Fund Beauty Nail Lacquer in Do You Know Who My Father Is?, Blissoma Evening Calming Facial Creme in Peace, Meow Meow Tweet Cream Deoderant in Lavender and Everyday Minerals Matte Blush in All Smiles.[responsive][/responsive][responsive][/responsive]The packaging for this nail lacquer is just beautiful. I love anything with watercolor designs. The color itself is probably not one I would've picked out, but I like the soft pink. I usually tend to go toward aqua/minty green colors (huge surprise.) This should be really nice to transition into Spring, though.[responsive][/responsive]So far I'm loving this matte blush. It gives my naturally rosy cheeks a healthy look instead of the painted up look that usually happens with blush. I use a kabuki brush to apply it, which is fine, but the packaging is a little tough to get the product out of. It's probably much easier on the full-size version of this product.[responsive][/responsive]I've only used this stuff once so far, but I LOVE anything lavender scented, so this is already a win for me. I used it just before heading to a Christmas party, so it should have been a good test. I honestly forgot I was wearing it. That's probably a good thing though, because my traditional Dove deoderant can sometimes feel sticky and uncomfortable. So far so good![responsive][/responsive]I've used this creme the last few nights and I like it so far. My skin still seems to be on the dry side, but I think that's just a side effect from the cold, dry winter air. It absorbs well and the herbal scent is really nice.All in all, I love this box! The past two have had lip products in them (both of which I love) but I'm glad this one was a little different. The total value of this box ended up being about $40. Not too shabby.
