Benevolent Beauty Box Review – July 2016

No affiliate links in this post! 

 

Benevolent Beauty Box is a subscription that sends out beauty products that don’t contain the tears of puppies or kittens. Basically, they are all about cruelty free cosmetics, because getting pretty doesn’t mean you have to get ugly! Yay!

There are two options you can choose from: 

The VIP: 4-7 full sized items for $29.95 month to month and less with longer subscriptions

The Mini: 2-3 full sized items for $15.95 month to month and less with longer subscriptions

You fill in your skin tone, color preferences, eye color, and hair color which leads me to believe they do try to match products to your preferences! Yay for not getting a lipstick that you hate!

I really like all the info they give us about each product

Mineral Hygienics – Mineral Bronzer: Well it is that time again where I have to try to look like I have a little bit of a glow or else when I do go outside everyone will know that I spend most of my time living among boxes inside a dark cave…

If you are interested in tying their foundations they have a free kit option on their website!

This legit looks like cocoa… Should I eat it?

Modern Minerals – Eyeshadow (Surya): This is awesome and something I wanted to see in this box which is a NEW color. This is why you pay a little more for this type of box! Modern Minerals is a company with the focus of “non-toxic emotions.” Which I can get behind!

I get toxic emotions when my subscription boxes are late…

Saturated Color – Colour Switch: This is super interesting and I can see Onderria trying this one out. Or her sister. I haven’t met her sister though, so this is all conjecture.

Whoa, talk about getting off topic! This lipstick is white, and the idea is that you can put a little or a lot as a base on your lips before you put on another lipstick color. This will change its color and allow you to have a little fun with your lipstick collection!

My collection of lipstick is beyond robust. However I am really happy when I see these type of products in a box because they are fun! These are the types of products I would want to play with but not actually buy!

Using this doesn’t count as a magic trick I don’t think…

Terre Mere – Matte Lipstick (Someone Special): This is such a pretty color! It is nice that they included a lipstick to go with the other lipstick. After all who wants to wait to play with these things? I am guessing most people…

I should NOT have gone to this website because now I am OBSESSED with the purple lipsticks they have! I will report back on the wear of this, however due to my huge supply it might have to be given and tested by a friend or one of the ladies here.

Or at the very least “Someone Special”

Terre Mere – Bronzer Brush: I will say it over and over again: I love love love getting brushes in boxes! Yay! Also it is thoughtful that they included it with the bronzer! I very much dig this brush because it is so soft and the handle is long. It is perfect for apply check color.

I feel bad using this because of the white fibers being so pristine and perfect…

Verdict: This month was a really awesome month for Benevolent Beauty Box! I can see the thought that was put into the box and the items went together really well. I am glad I was able to find all the products to be current and for sale. This being a smaller more niche beauty box means you can count on each item fitting the cruelty free theme. I am excited to see what is in store for next month!

    Fun box! So what color is the eyeshadow? I need a swatch! And how does the Colour Switch change the color of lipsticks? I mean, does is make them brighter? Darker? Muted? That Terre Mere lipstick looks pretty and like it could work well for different skin tones.

      You are so right!!! I will swatch the eyeshadow it is a copper/brow/kinda purple deal so it did not photograph well at all. The lipstick is just white so it should make it lighter. Or at least it is supposed to act like a primer to hide your regular lip color. I thought about giving both lipsticks away but will ask them to do a few pics. I am on the fence now though and might keep lol then I will just update hahah I just have so many open and figure they could go to someone who actually will use it and not reach for a jar of Carmex like a feen…

    Yes, everything that Heat said!

      I will fish the stuff out soon and give you all what you want lol!!! Woot!!! (plus the pic of the eye shadow I took was pretty crappy upon going back and looking at it… does need a swatch for sure!)

    Woo! This is a good box! I would have fun playing with that lipstuff, and my sister always borrows my makeup when she visits haha. I still have that BB Arrow lippie that changes your lip tint and is very moisturizing, love that.

      I will toss it in to your box and then maybe you guys can take a pic or something to show it? I just don’t want to use it once and then throw it into the magic drawer

      • July 10, 2016 at 3:41 pm

        I will show off the magical lip pencil then!

        • July 10, 2016 at 4:10 pm

          Yes show off the lipsticks and let us know if it was cool or not. My review was not in depth enough for our readers!!! We are hardcore!!!
