Her Fashion Box - December box review

Again, this is a little late considering I received this month's Her Fashion Box mid December.. Her Fashion Box is the third beauty box I subscribe to however it is a little different as it is a mix of beauty items as well as fashion and lifestyle items. At $39.95 a month it is more expensive than the other boxes however I feel it is definately worth the extra and so far I've received some awesome items. Visit www.herfashionbox.com.au for more info.

I receive the 'Classic' style box.

Her Fashion Box comes in a great sturdy box. It is sent through Australia Post and the thing that I love is it doesn't require a signature, it has authority to leave unattended. I live on a farm and my mailbox is almost 1km from my house, so I have to travel to the post office to collect my other boxes... First world problems I suppose ;)

 

This month's box contained:

A fairly full box. Not the best HFB I have received but it is still packed with great items.

 

Each month they have a little 'Her Fashion Magazine' which is a great addition to the box. It provides loads of detail on each item in the box as well as different ways to wear the fashion items and use the beauty items. The mag talks about a designer collaboration coming up in January, sounds exciting!

 

Her Fashion Box Cloud Clutch RRP $29.95

I didn't really notice this was a 'clutch' when I first opened my box. I thought it was packaging as it had some other items in it. It's okay but I don't know who in their right mind would spend $29.95 on this... I wouldn't wear this 'clutch' out either, I don't like the idea of everyone seeing what is in my bag! I'll be using this for a makeup bag for travelling I think.

Her Fashion Box Midnight necklace RRP $19.95

This is pretty and has quite a vintage feel to it. In fact, my mother has a brooch quite similar to it that she was given when she was small. It isn't something I would necessarily buy but now I've got it, I'll definately wear this. That is what I love about HFB, I am consistently getting fashion items I wouldn't usually buy/look for but turn out loving.

Her Fashion Box Heart of the Ocean earrings RRP $14.95

Jury is still out on these earrings, they have this really cheap look about them. I can see a bit of glue on them as well, eww. I have stretched earlobes so earrings are a little lost on me at the moment (I am looking at getting my earlobes reconstructed so perhaps in the future!).

 

Green Smoothie Co. Super Booster RRP $20 (5x16g sachets)

I've received two 16g sachets in this box. These are designed to be added to a smoothie, a suggested recipe is to add this to banana, coconut milk, coconut oil and leafy greens. It sounds pretty good, and I'm actually looking forward to trying it! I doubt I'd buy anything like this though... I'm more into just eating my fresh fruit and veg from my garden!

White Glo Professional Choice Whitening Toothpaste RRP $4.90 100ml

I received a 24g sample of this toothpaste. I don't really get the big connection to toothpaste in this box however I'm not that disappointed. I have seen this and wanted to try it so it has worked out well.

 

Katy Perry Killer Queen Eau de Parfum RRP $69 100ml, $49 50ml,  $39 30ml

I received a 1.5ml sample. UGH I HATE Katy Perry. Loathe the girl, I can't stand her ditzy attitude and awful singing voice. I wanted to throw this straight out as I thought it would be just another crappy celeb perfume BUT was pleasantly suprised, this actually smelt okay! Even my fiance thought it smelt okay (and he things a lot of them smell like toilet freshner - rolls eyes). I don't think i'd buy it, I'm a Marc Jacobs Daisy girl but it was nice to smell it and not want to vomit (like Beyonce Heat... ewwww).

ModelCo Eye Shadow Trio - Smokey Eye RRP $26

This is a full size ModelCo product. Not the biggest fan of ModelCo's makeup (I do however love their fake tan range) and this feels chalky. It is so overpriced as well. The brush is awful, drags over your skin and doesn't really allow for blending. I love smokey eye pallettes however this is not the best I've tried and I really doubt I'll get much use out of it.

Fing's Nail Art Kit RRP $12.99

Ohhh love this! Love the look of studs/gold leaf on nails and this looks really easy to use. Excited to try this out.

Urban Rituelle Soothing Body Balm in Frangipani

This must have been my gift for completing the survey for last month's box. I received one of these but in a different scent in November's box. Love it, the lotion is beautiful on my skin and smells divine. Would definately purchase a full size product!!

 

I also received a voucher for $20 off at Le Black Book (www.leblackbook.com.au) code is 'herfashionbox' note that you have to spend $50 to be able to use it.

 

So overall, this month was good but not as impressive as previous boxes. I'm looking forward to January!
