I love a good beauty box. Ive gotten Glossy Box, Boxy Charm, Birchbox and Ipsy. So when I got a follow on Twitter from Halal Beauty box with the offer of your first box free with signing onto their first months box I looked more into them. And I was so eager to check this company out! So today i'm going to tell you about the company and show you what goodies I got in this months box!
Now if you are like me, Halal was not a term id used in everyday conversation but with some google and a glance around their site I came across a post that explained it all.
In Islam, "Halal" means acceptable, permissible, and good. Halal is to Islam as Kosher is to Judaism. Most people know about Kosher Beef or Halal Chicken, but those same people aren't aware of the fact that the vast majority of cosmetics are not Halal (or Kosher). Many products feature pork fat, gelatin, tallow and other animal byproducts.The one thing that sets us apart from any other major beauty company or subscription box is our brand standards. We only feature and stock Halal beauty products. This means...
1. Our products have no animal ingredients or byproducts.
2. Our products are cruelty-free.
3. Our products do not contain alcohol.
4. Our products are ethically sourced.
So not only is this box a sound investment if you are a beauty lover who is religious but anyone who is vegetarian or vegan would really benefit from products like these. I am none of the above but knowing how natural and in some cases organic the beauty products are really intrigues me.
Now can I gush about how amazing a box they curated? Everything arrived in this little black box which made me think of this beauty box being like a little black dress, perfect. It had alot of those little white wormie papers which in my haste to get to my goodies ended up in the trash before I could take proper pictures.
The Products-
Wabi-Sabi Botanicals Clay Mask- The only thing in the box I havent tried yet so I don't have first impression of. But the concept of this is amazing. With a mask thats already moist it has the potential to dry out in a couple months. This has a self life of a year, you simply add water to make the paste in your desired consistency per use. How amazing is that? Im really really excited about using this, I love giving myself at home facials. And this runs for $24.00, almost the entire cost of the box itself.
Lippie Girl Vegocentric Organic Vegan Lipsticks- Now im unsure but assuming that these came in different shades, mine was in Ski-Bunny. In a word this lipstick is amazing. It had cooked in our northern heat here but i fixed the lipstick in the tube and it still went on smoothly. It is a nice color, a little light but since its a more pink nude I warmed it up with the liner from this box and it looked so good on the lips. If you are darker then my medium light complexion I think my shade would come off kind of concealer lip on you. So id use it as a mid lip brighter. Make your lips look fuller by using the in the center, gives that pout effect. This retails for $23.00
Lippie Girl Extra Virgin Lip Gloss- This is the perfect old school simple clear gloss. It smells like lemons tinged with coconut and it feels so super smooth and glossy without being super greasy or worse extra sticky. And because its yellow and has zero color payoff on the lips its perfect to top any matte lip you want to shine up without altering your lipstick shade underneath. Alone or over something else I think this one is going to become a purse staple. This retails for $15.00
FX Cosmetics UK Lip Pencil - My shade in this was Mauve, again im not sure if everyone got the same one. BUT IT IS PERFECT! Im in love and this is my new favorite lip liner. It warmed up my lipstick so much and gave me this ombre effect on my lips. But alone I could line my whole mouth with this, top it with the clear gloss and have the most pouty 90's lips around. Its AMAZING! My favorite thing in this months box. This retails for $11.50
FX Cosmetics UK Duo Pencil Eyeliner- My liner came in Aqua/Blue and can i say how soft and buttery they are??? Like seriously like butter gliding over the skin. They dont pull or tug on application and I had to rub a bit harder to clean it off on the first try. Its promising and I cant wait to do mermaid eyes with this pencil! And finally this retails for $11.50
The total retail value for my box comes to $85! And that cost of a monthly subscription is only $27.95 in the US! Can you tell i'm excited? I know its not the cheapest box around, but its really worth having a look at. And if its something that religiously or culturally is significant, or morally your an all vegan type this is the box for you! You can find out more about them here.
I cant wait to see what this company comes with next month, it a subscription I think is so worth the money. Is anyone else going to check out this brand? In the market for the new it beauty box?
