Delivery boxes seem to be all the rage these days (um, because they’re RAD!) and I’ve gotten quite a few offers from quite a few companies asking me to sample their services. But the one that really caught my eye was Petit Vour, a little all-vegan company focused on bringing luxury makeup to conscientious, compassionate consumers.

I love the concept, especially as someone who likes makeup but knows very little about it and doesn’t necessarily have the time to thoroughly research every brand, but honestly, what I love most is the price! At $15 per box, this is an absolute beauty bargain. And I appreciate that!

Plus, the owner Madeline has an amazing eye for design. Everything about this company, from the website to the products to the box itself is aesthetically pleasing. It just makes you feel good! I don’t often get to feel like I’m being pampered, but getting this box totally did the trick.

So here’s how we do these things ’round here. I think “like-gating” / “fan-gating” is weird and insincere, and I’m not going to make you guys do it.

That said, the truth is that social media stats are pretty important these days, in blogging as well as in business. So no, I’m not going to require you to “like” me all over the Internet just to enter this giveaway. But, if you do like my blog and enjoy the work I do here – and this goes for any blog really – then liking my Facebook page, or following me on Instagram or on Twitter is a great, easy way to help me out. Those numbers really do count for something.

And that goes for Petit Vour as well. No, I won’t manipulate you into following them as a way to get more entries in this contest. But if you’d like to support an amazing, woman-owned, cruelty-free vegan company, a great way to show that support would be to like them on Facebook, or follow them on Instagram or on Twitter.

But you don’t have to! No coercion. Fair?

So, if you want to enter to win the May makeup box, all you have to do is leave a comment here, on this post. Tell us where you’d wear your new makeup!

This giveaway will end on Wednesday 21 May at midnight PST. I’ll contact the winner the next day. Good luck guys!

Congratulations Karoline! An awesome box full of luxury, cruelty-free beauty products is yours! Yay!

The contest is now closed.

So I was SUPER stoked when they announced a new program, just exactly like the Snack Box, except with makeup. The Beauty Box!

Basically, each month (or just one time, if you don’t want to subscribe) you get a little box filled up with fabulous, 100% vegan, all-natural, totally cruelty-free body care products, delivered to your front door. And just like with the Snack Box, what’s inside is always a surprise – so it feels just like a holiday when you get it! That’s really why I love these things (because who couldn’t use a little more surprise and excitement in their life, amiright?!)

I was so thrilled when I got mine, so of course I made a little “unboxing” video. Here’s a look at what I got in my very first Vegan Cuts Beauty Box (and also oh man, I’m a dork):





As promised, a quick review of everything I got in my box . . .

NYL Rosewater Face Wash. It smells so good! I don’t usually wash my face with anything except water, but this was really nice and didn’t dry out my skin at all. I love that it’s made of mostly organic ingredients, too. Available on VeganCuts.com

Namaste Makeup Pouch. Cute and durable, I took it on a recent trip and it did the trick. But, you know, it’s a makeup pouch . . . not too much variation there. Available on Amazon

Lippy Girl Extra Virgin Lip Gloss. Not something I’d wear every day, but I prefer a more subtle chapstick-style. I’ve used this for date night though, and KAPOW! It’s so shiny and delightful! Tastes great too. Available on VeganCuts.com

GlamNaturals Mascara. Not my favorite mascara. It goes on very dark which is good, but it is not even close to waterproof. After a shower I look like a raccoon, haha. Available on VeganCuts.com

Suntegrity Natural Moisturizing Face SunScreen – Tinted. This was AWESOME. Holy moly, I’ve never used a tinted sunscreen before and this was fantastic! Smoothed out my complexion and protected my skin, all at once. Plus it was featured in the Environmental Working Group’s “best sunscreen” category for its exceptionally awesome ingredients list. I love this stuff! Available on Amazon

Acure Argan Oil. Another huge hit! I had no idea what this was or what it did, but after a bit of research I learned that it can be used to moisturize the hands, face, and hair. I’ve been using it on my face at night and my skin looks so happy! The only weird thing is that it kind of smells like olives? Not olive oil, but like – olives. Haha. Available on Amazon

LVX Nail Laquer. I’ve warmed up to this color, which sort of scared me at first. So bright! But now I smile every time I look down at my toes, because duh – this brightness just screams HAPPY! This stuff needs a few coats before it’s even, but it’s super strong. Also it’s made in the USA which is awesome. Available on VeganCuts.com

Essence Of Vali Essential Oil – Sleep. I’ve had a lot of fun anointing my mattress and pillows with this. Are we sleeping better? I don’t know, but man it makes my bedroom smell great. Available on Amazon

The September Beauty Box has just gone on sale and I can’t wait to see what’s inside! The August box sold out, so if you’re interested, hop to it!
