Her Fashion Box - September 2013

 

 

I have been getting a Her Fashion Box delivery ever since it started but for some reason I keep forgetting to post about it before I pull it all apart.

Not this month though!

For the September box (I get the classic version) we got the following items:

1) Black clutch - I love this clutch and will get a huge amount of use out of it. The gold studs look really cool and it will go with pretty much any outfit.

2) Gold Plated ID Bracelet - This is quite a chunky bracelet that makes me feel a little bit masculine but I'll still have a go at wearing it anyway.

3) Gold Plated Ring - This ring is really pretty but way too big for any of my fingers (even my thumb!). I need to try and get the hubby to pinch it in a little bit before I can have any hope of wearing it.

4) Maybeline Colour Show Nail Polish in Iced Queen (light lilac colour) and Onyx Rush (deep black) - I'm quite excited that there were two nail polishes and both of these colours are one's that I will get heaps of wear out of.

5) Designer Brands Chubby Lip Crayon in Enchanted Rose - This seems to be a nice smooth crayon in a pretty dusty pink shade. I'll be interested to see how these compare to the Clinique Chubby Sticks and my favourite Models Prefer Lip Crayons.

6) Designer Brands Kohl Pencil in Black - Black eyeliner is probably the shade I use the least as being so pale I prefer to use either brown or a pop of colour but it will always come in handy I guess.

7) LonVitalite Collagen Firming & Moisturising Facial Mask - I tried the LonVitalite 24K Gold mask a while ago and loved it so am excited to try out this one too.

8) PureTan Pure Moisture Coconut Body Creme - I'm probably the only person on earth who isn't a fan of coconut scented products. I love real coconut but the artificial scent used in a lot of products really bothers me. I'll still give this a go and see what it's like and being only a 15ml sample I won't have to be bothered by it for too long anyway.

As always there was also the Her Fashion Magazine included with tips and details about all of the products received in the box and there was also a bonus Designer Beauty magazine this month too full of makeup tips and looks to try out.

Out of all the monthly subscription boxes I have to say that Her Fashion Box is definitely my favourite. It is a bit more expensive at $39.95 a month but I have never been very good at accessorising and it's amazing how much getting this box each month with a new piece of jewerly, scarf or belt has taken me out of my comfort zone and forced me to try and wear new things other than my usual staples.

What does everyone else think of Her Fashion Box?

I hope everyone has had a lovely weekend.

April 'Her Fashion Box' - Classic

Yep, this week was a great mail week with the arrival of the April 'Her Fashion Box'. This was something I was really looking forward to as I wanted to see if they could follow up on the greatness of the first box last month.

So, without any further hesitation, here is the contents of the Classic April box:

1)  Sterling Silver Cuff (RRP listed as $39.95) - I seriously wish I was a silver jewellery wearer as I love this cuff but I just don't think silver goes with my pale skintone. I've been trying to wear it around the house to see if I can get used to seeing it on and am kind of coming around. One day I might find the perfect outfit this will go with and ditch my usual gold-toned jewellery.

2) Bondi Sands Self Tanning Foam in Light/Medium and Self Tanning Mitt (RRP $19.95 for the tan and $9.95 for the mitt) - I have been trying to embrace the self-tan a lot more this year after my mission to tan last year and I decided to buy myself my first ever tanning mitt only last month can you believe? If only I'd waited a little longer! I haven't tried Bondi Tan before so am excited to try it out and I guess it can't hurt to have a spare mitt on hand.

3) Schick Hydro Silk Razor (RRP $10.00 for 1 Razor + 1 Cartridge) - I'm always definitely interested in trying out new razors for when I'm too lazy to wax or use my epilator and need a quick de-fuzz job done so this will certainly get used.

4) ModelCo Lip Duo Lipstick & Gloss - Nude Lipstick & Watermelon Gloss (Full size, RRP $24.00) - This is a great useful two-in-one product that will definitely come in handy for carrying in the handbag or purse. I wish I'd gotten a bit of a brighter colour than Nude but at least I know it will be an easy go-with-everything shade. The only thing I find mystifying about this is that it has a mirror built into the middle which is kind of useless because the lipstick and lip gloss both come out from the centre so you can't actually see the mirror when applying. Weird....

5) ModelCo Eyedefine Eye Pencil - Black (Full size, RRP $26.00) - This eye pencil claims to stay soft for applying and then drying in 30 seconds to a smudge proof finish. It also has an inbuilt sharpener.

The box also contained a detailed mini magazine again that listed all the information about each product plus some added extras such as links to how-to's, reviews and outfit ideas for the jewellery received.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with the contents of this box and have certainly gotten value for money.

The First Ever 'Her Fashion Box' Has Arrived!

Today I was very excited when I got home as waiting for me was the first ever My Fashion Box just asking to be opened!

The postage box itself was bright pink (sorry about the flash it was already dark by the time I got home from work) with the round Her Fashion Box logo on the front.

Inside was a nice and sturdy black cardboard box with a lid that lifts off and inside of this was where the products were contained.

Now, for the unveiling of the good stuff inside.........

I ordered the Classic box (there were also the Trendy and the Feminine boxes available) and inside were the following items:

1) Geometric shaped necklace in black and gold - I am so in love with this necklace and can see me getting a lot of wear out of it. I'm not sure of the RRP of this item as it's not listed.

2) Redken Diamond Oil Range of hair products - Deep Facets (30ml), Conditioner (30ml) & Shampoo (50ml). The RRP's of these are $35.50, $22.95 & $22.95 for full size products respectively.

3) Maybelline Colour Sensational Lip Gloss in Gleaming Grenadine - The shade I received is a dark fushia almost bordering on red and seems to be a nice opaque gloss on first impressions. RRP $15.95 for full size.

4) Master Makeup Eyeshadow Brush - I haven't heard of this brand of brushes before so am excited to try this one out. RRP is $30.00.

5) Moxie Collection - A small sample collection of Moxie pads and tampons. Probably the only item in the box I was a bit surprised about because to me it's not really an apropriate item to include in a box like this. RRP is listed as $4.47.

6) Circa Home Everyday Soap in Lilac & Orchid - This is such a pretty smelling soap that made the entire box smell lovely when it was opened. I quite like nice scented soaps so will be happy to try this one. RRP is $9.95 per soap.

7) Gold Ponytail Cuff - This is really cute but because my hair is so fine it's a bit wide for me. At least the black elastic it's attached to will make it still stay in my hair so I'll just have to work out a way to fluff my hair up a bit so it doesn't look so big. No RRP is listed against this item.

 

 

Also included was a little booklet giving information on the Master Makeup brush range and all the products received were listed in a mini Her Fashion magazine. This is an awesome little touch that is much nicer than the plain cards that are in other subscription services to describe the products received.

 

Overall I'm really pleased with what I received in this first box and will definitely be keeping my subscription at this point in time.

 

What do you think of the first Her Fashion Box?

 

I hope everyone has a great week.

At $49.95 per month, it is a bit more expensive than the other monthly subscription services available at the moment, but considering you get an on-trend fashion accessory as well as beauty products, samples and other offers, the price seems reasonable enough to me.

The code to enter at checkout is 'MYLITTLESPACE'.
