January 2017 Vegan Cuts Beauty Box Review
Y’all, it’s Vegan Cuts Beauty Box unboxing time! If this is the first time you’re hearing about this rad subscription service, it’s a monthly beauty box ($22.95/month with free shipping) that delivers 4-7 vegan and cruelty-free items (ranging from unique cosmetics to luxurious skincare) right to your doorstep. It’s the easiest way to discover cruelty-free brands without committing to full-size products or prices. You can sign up for this beauty box here. You can also peep my past Vegan Cuts Beauty Box reviews here.
This month’s Beauty Box has six gorgeous beauty products with a total value of $67!
January’s Vegan Cuts Beauty Box included:
Briogeo Rosarco Milk Reparative Leave-in Conditioning Spray, $9 – This is a lightweight leave-in conditioning spray that’s enriched with rosehip, argan, and coconut oils. While there are a few unfamiliar ingredients in this product (e.g. Polysorbate 80, Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, and the ever ambiguous “fragrance”), 98% of them are actually naturally-derived (not bad, not bad). I haven’t used this yet but it smells DANG good… lawd knows my crusty, over-bleached strands need all the love they can get, lol. Will give this a whirl in the next week or so. Stay tuned. 🙂
Stinkbug Naturals Tangerine Spice Aluminum Free Deodorant Cream, $3 – I’m so glad my body chemistry recalibrated its ish, because there was a chunk of time when any deodoro containing baking soda was a no-go (I’d broke out in scary looking rashes), but now I’m all good. No idea how my bod went from that to this, but here I am in deodorant heaven (seriously, so many options). I’m diggin’ the unique spicy citrus-y scent, and it seems to really work. My only gripe is that it’s hard getting the product out of this teeny sample jar. #firstworldstinkypeopleproblems
Enfusia Muscle Bomb, $1.50 – I always save bath bombs for tub time with my tots. We all bathe together and sometimes I have to resort to bribing my kidlets with bath bombs to get their booties clean. I especially like and appreciate how the ingredients for this bomb are squeaky clean and simple. The lil’ blue specs on top are a nice touch as well… muscle bomb is probs not the most kid-friendly scent, but it turned out to be a hit.
Clarisea Deep Pore Detox Activated Charcoal Exfoliating Mask,* $5 – Mmm, love detoxy masks and facial cleansers. I decided to try this out first as a cleanser by mixing it with a bit of jojoba oil (I’m obsessed with the OCM) even though it’s recommended that you mix it with water. I really like the formula – it was lightly exfoliating and I know the activated charcoal and clay worked a bit of magic on my PMS, hormonally blotchy skin.
Goddess Garden Organics Bright Eyes Firming Eye Cream,* $18 – Of all the beauty products I use on my face, I’m prolly most obsessed with eye creams. I ain’t no spring chicken (mid-30s, yo), and keeping my under eye areas moisturized and happy is a high priority of mine. This eye cream has a nice consistency (not too thick or too light, somewhere in between) and the ingredients are all-natural and heavenly. I’m kind of smitten with the adorable packaging too (bonus points for the glass bottle!).
Jersey Shore Cosmetics Red Hibiscus Lip and Cheek Rouge,* $30 – I ADORE this brand to no end, and their products are super clean and highly effective. This all-natural lippy (and cheeky?) is highly pigmented (a little goes a long way) and contains skin-lovin’ organic oils, extracts, minerals and flowers. Check out this bold, deep brick red in action:

Overall impression: Everything together is valued at $67, which is pretty awesome! It was a lovely mix of skin care, makeup, and hair care. Box faves: JSC lip & cheek rouge (I’m a sucker for lippies and I love the all-natural formula), the detox face mask from Clarisea, and the Goddess Garden eye cream! Overall, January’s VCBB box was a hit!
