Unboxing the Beauty #1 | June Pink Box

I surely am a massive beauty junkie, and I definitely enjoy surprises! That’s why I absolutely wanted to subscribe to a beauty box of any kind and stepped across one called Pink Box, which is the “Swiss version” of a Glossy Box or a Jolie Box or a whatever box which basically costs around 20CHF/15€ and sends you five different beauty essentials, all hidden in a fancy packaging. A pretty good deal!

The June Pink Box came to my house a few weeks ago, therefore I went a little bit crazy and immediately tried out all the items! Down below you can find a list of the five products with a general description, and how I have rated them. I really hope this method will be useful, especially if you think that you might be interested in buying the full size merchandise!

1. VICHY Eau Thermale

The Vichy thermal water is enriched with a unique combination of over 15 types of rare and beneficial minerals. It is famous for its calming, revitalizing, and regenerating characteristics. At the same time, it protects and refreshes also sensitive skin. 

This product is perfect after cleansing and excellent for keeping your face fresh during these hot summer days. The water is obviously odourless and colourless and does its job really, really well. Definitely the best item in the box! (http://www.vichy.com)

2. WEN® Sweet Almond Mint Cleansing Conditioner

This exclusive treatment and its “revolutionary new concept” are able to let your hair shine and be beautiful! It consists in a 5 in 1 formula: a shampoo, a conditioner, a deep-conditioner, a detangler and mask. “It cleanses hair thoroughly without lathering or harsh ingredients. It's designed not to strip your hair and scalp of natural oils, leaving your hair with more strength, moisture, manageability and better colour retention“.

The key ingredients are glycerine, chamomile extract, wild cherry bark, rosemary extract, and panthenol, which have moisturizing, calming, conditioning, soothing, and restoring properties.

I must honestly admit, that I wasn’t very impressed as I saw this conditioner for the first time but after trying it, I absolutely fell in love. It is the first time that I have experienced such a nice effect thanks to a hair product! The scent is not for everyone, since it is very “natural” and “herbal” (if this makes any sense), and the texture is very creamy and doesn’t foam. The results are amazing: you can literally feel the product working its magic and your hair feels light, clean, and smooth. Recommend that!

3. VICHY Pureté Thermale 3 in 1 Facial Cleanser

The 3 in 1 Vichy Cleanser is a cleansing milk, a cleansing water, and an eye make-up remover…all at once! The combination of highly effective and skin protective cleansing constituents provides for a fast and easy cleaning, able to effortlessly remove make-up without hurting the sensitivity of the skin. After that, your face will feel refreshed and really soft. 

The product has a very light texture and a nice and delicate scent. If you are looing for a new cleanser, this is the perfect to minimize allergy-effect risks. (http://www.vichy.com)

4. COLORSMASH™ Hair Shadow in Electric Beat

This hair shadow is perfect for people who like to get crazy and creative with their hair without having permanent consequences! You simply rub the desired hair part in the hair colour and fix it with hairspray. If you want to removed it, wash your hair. That’s it, as simple as it sounds! 

I really enjoyed trying out the product: it was cool but (not going to lie!) a little bit messy! Since it is very pigmented, it is also very difficult to get rid of the hair shadow without the power of soap, so be careful if you don’t want to mess around! I will definitely use it soon, maybe at a summer festival or another music event, just for fun! The result is very good and colourful, and it is also easily washable with shampoo!

5. Beauty UK Nail Varnish in Smokey Lilac

I have to admit, I am really picky with nail polishes (maybe a little bit too much), and I tend to invest a little bit more money in a good one, which will last longer. This nail lacquer has a really nice and shiny pastel colour, and it also dries pretty quickly. 

In my modest opinion, it will look great with a tanned skin (instead of a fair one, which will seem a little bit too “ill”), therefore perfect for summertime. The reason why I didn’t like this so much consists in the texture of the product, which is definitely too liquid. It tends to smudge a little bit, and its coverage is a tiny bit too light. But, as I said, I am very, very picky so…if you are not like that, you might like it more as I did! (http://www.beautyukcosmetics.com)  

…And that is it for today lovely people! I had a lot of fun testing all the items in the box and I can’t wait to open the next one! I also truly hope that you will find something interesting to try out and, if you have any suggestions, you can as always put them down in the comment box!

I wish you all a great week! xxx
