On By Manda JanetteIn cruelty free, makeup, petit vour, skin careLeave a comment

The Petit Vour box is $15 a month and contains clean and vegan beauty products (4-5).

Fit Glow Beauty Plum Lash Primer $28

“A lash conditioning primer that instantly coats your lashes with superfood ingredients for fuller, thicker and stronger lashes. The plum hued formula delivers clump free volumizing lift…”

I’ve wanted to try a lash primer, so this is perfect!

Juice Beauty Prebiotix Instant Flash Facial $10

“ A facial, exfoliating mask and cleanser all in one.” I plan on trying this in all the different ways you can use it, lord knows my skin needs it.

Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses Moroccan Beauty Oil $21

This is delivers dermal vitality, uplifts tone, and deeply moisturizers. I am really weary of oils on my face. My skin jumps from oily to dry so fast, and I’m afraid using oils will make my breakouts even worse. I may pass this along to a friend.

Goldfadden MD Needle-less Line Smoothing Concentrate $15

I got two! So I may give one to my mom. It’s supposed to be a non-invasive solution to prevent and reduce the appearance of fine lines.

That is it for my Petit Vour box! What is your favorite vegan skincare item? Comment below!

AIA Beauty Bundle April 2022

On By Manda JanetteIn American Influencer Beauty Bundle, makeup, Uncategorized1 Comment

The American Influencer Beauty Bundle retails for $38 a month and contains an assortment of products from a different beauty brand each month.

This months featured brand is NudeStix!

Citrus-C Mask and Daily Moisturizer $38

This moisturizer is meant to be a hydrating moisturizer, sleeping mask, and makeup primer all in one. I am interested to see how it would work as a primer for me, but I also want to just use it as a moisturizer. It is supposed to improve elasticity and tone, and renew skin texture for soft, smooth, hydrated and glowing skin.

Lash Lengthening Mascara $28

Now, I’ve said this before, but I prefer more voluminizing mascaras. I am going to give this one a try but my hopes aren’t too high. The formula seems pretty wet and the wand is rather basic.

Nudies Bronze In Sun kissed $34

I have been wanting to try some of the NudeStixs blushes and bronzers, so I am excited to give this product a try. It’s a nice shade and it blends out easily. I prefer more cream products during the warmer months, so this arrived at a good time.

Magnetic Matte Lip in Boho $26

I love this shade! I think I am going to get a lot of use out of it. In fact, it is already in my everyday makeup drawer.

Magnetic Eye Color in Dew WAP $26

I love shadow sticks! I have this product in a few other shades and I really enjoy it. I’m happy to have another. This shade would also work great as a highlight. I am going to be reaching for it a lot to highlight my inner corner. That’s for sure.

This months box was great! NudeStixs is a brand I’m really interested in, so it’ll be fun to try more products. What is your favorite NudeStixs product? Which product are you most interested in? Comment below!

Petit Vour Beauty Box | August 2020

On By Manda JanetteIn cruelty free, makeup, petit vour, veganLeave a comment

Petit Vour Beauty Box is $15 a month. It contains 4-5 cruelty free, vegan, and usually clean beauty products.

Evio Cleansing Wipes $14

These wipes are biodegradable and made of hemp. They can remove makeup, cleanse skin, and keep it hydrated. I can always use more wipes and these seem to be a great option!

Josh Rosebrook Tinted Nutrient Day Cream x2 $2.50

Josh Rosebrook is a really nice, rather expensive brand. It will be neat to try one of their products. I am not sure what the tint is, as it doesn’t have a shade on the packets. This cream can be used to prep skin before makeup, or be worn alone for a glowy smooth finish.

Andalou Naturals Citrus Sunflower Shower Gel $3

This is a product I already own, and have yet to try. I am probably going to throw one into my travel bag for the lake this weekend.

Ursa Major Sublime Sage Spray Deodorant $18

I have never tried a spray deodorant, so this will be interesting. It is supposed to be instantly refreshing. And neutralizes odor causing bacteria; using plants, minerals, and enzymes.

Sahajan Brightening Mask $15

I could really use this right now. My skin looks dull and horrible. This mask has a blend of anti-inflammatory and brightening tumeric extract, oils, and glycolic acid to give the skin a glow.

I am really excited for everything in this months box, and I can’t wait to give it all a try.

My box came to a total of $52.50. For only $15!

Kinder Beauty Box | The Welcome Box

On By Manda JanetteIn cruelty free, makeup, Uncategorized, veganLeave a comment

Kinder Beauty Box retails for $25 a month. It contains all cruelty free and vegan products. You get 5-6 items, two of which will be full-size.

Glov Makeup Remover $12.99

This is so useful! I have been obsessed with my makeup eraser as of late, and I’m glad to have another similar product. It’s very soft and fits nicely on the hand for better control. Not only does it remove makeup, but it is supposed to help leave your skin balanced and soft.

Dirty Lamb Ultra Night Serum $52

Great timing! I am on the last few uses of my current night serum. This serum contains a high antioxidant blend of fatty acids to really hydrate skin through the night. It also has a hint of lavender, ylang-ylang, and orange. It smells great! I also love the little lamb on the bottle.

100% Pure Bright Eyes Mask $7

These are a caffeinated eye mask to brighten and de-puff. I have tried these before and really enjoy them.

Fleur & Bee Eyes Eyes Baby Anti-Aging Eye Cream $22

This eye cream contains botanicals, vitamins, and moisturizing ingredients to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This is a really nice sized jar for $22. It’s going to last ages!

Medusa’s Makeup Eye Dust “Penny Wise” $8

This pigment is a really pretty metallic copper. I have other eye dusts from Medusa’s makeup and they are all wonderful and really pack a punch. If you haven’t check out Medusa’s Makeup, I highly recommend you do.

BONUS ITEM Folly Fire Lipstick “Full House”

I used a coupon code I found, which I believe was MSA, and got a mystery bonus item. Unfortunately, it is a lipstick I already own. However, it is a beautiful color and formula and I know one of my sisters will love it!

Over all thoughts?

I am so happy with my first box! I am blown away! I have replaced my VeganCuts subscription with this one, and I am very happy with that decision! For $25 I got a total of $101.99 worth of products. That’s fantastic!

Petit Vour Beauty Box | July 2020

On By Manda JanetteIn cruelty free, makeup, petit vour, veganLeave a comment

The Petit Vour Beauty Box retails for $18 a month. You receive 4 sample, sometimes full sized beauty items. All items are cruelty free, vegan, and non-toxic.

Mantra Mask CBD Collagen Mask $15

This mask promotes collagen regeneration to reduce inflammation and fine lines and wrinkles. I have tried masks from this brand before and did enjoy them.

Blissoma Photonic Facial Sunscreen and Mositurizer $17.50

This moisturizer skins into the skin quickly and provides 25 SPF to the skin. I used it as a primer today, and it works very well! My skin feels moisturized, not greasy, and I have that extra layer of SPF.

Kindred Beauty La Femme Body Oil $20

Fun fact about me, I am horrible at remembering to moisturize my body. I am trying to get better about it.

This body oil absorbs quickly and has a light rose scent. It soothes the skin, while leaving behind a very subtle shimmer.

Nude by Nature Natural Illusion Eyeshadow “Sunset” $20

This shadow is pigmented and very smooth. I have a feeling I am going to love this as a one and done shadow in the fall. I will make a future post look more in-depth into this shadow, maybe even more nude by nature products!

That is everything I got in my July Petit Vour Box. I am very happy with everything I got, and I’m excited to really get into testing it all.

My box came to a total of $72.50, for only $18! This box really does pay for itself!

Petit Vour Plus Box

On By Manda JanetteIn cruelty free, makeup, petit vour, veganLeave a comment

The Petit Vour Plus Box retails for $25 a month. You receive 5-7 full and sample sized cruelty free and vegan products. The products featured are supposed to be hits from past petit Vour (the original basic) boxes.

I do enjoy the regular Petit Vour box, so I wanted to test this one out. I did unsubscribe, because I wanted to try new things. Not repeat things. I have resubscribed to the original box though!

EIR NYC Active Face Wash $20

This is a face wash I have tried before and did enjoy. This face wash is made with African black soap. It is meant to minimize scaring and calm down breakouts. From experience I can tell you it definitely does it’s job.

Andalou Naturals Citrus Sunflower showergel $3 (deluxe sample)

I love citrus scents. This shower gel smells fantastic. It will be perfect for travel.

The Sea Weed Bath Co. Firming Body Cream $4 (Deluxe Sample)

This is another product I have tried before and liked for the most part. I didn’t notice it firming anything, but it felt nice! It has a nice minty scent.

Juice Beauty Blemish Clearing Serum $15 (Deluxe Sample)

This is another product I have tried before and I love it so much. I did wonders for my skin! This product is the reason that my face finally started to clear up after many many years. I am so happy to have this back in my skincare rotation.

Blissoma Refine Clay Renewal Mask $10 (Deluxe Sample)

I do already own another sample of this mask, but I have yet to try it. It is supposed to draw out impurities, refine skin texture, improve hydration, and clear breakouts. It sounds very promising! And, it was made in St. Louis, which is where I live, so that makes it even better.

Osea Atmosphere Protection Cream $48

Another product here that I have already used and love! It’s a daily moisturizer that protects against pollution, but it also makes an awesome primer for makeup.

That is all the contents of my box. I am happy to have a lot of old favorites again, I just prefer trying new things in subscription boxes, so I am going to stick with the regular Petit Vour box. My box contained a total of exactly $100.

If you are just getting into clean beauty, I do think this would be a great way for you to try out a ton of fan favorite, fantastic products.

Vegan Cuts Beauty Box | Light and Bright

On By Manda JanetteIn cruelty free, makeup, vegan, vegan cutsLeave a comment

Look at the cute pupper!!!!

The Vegan Cuts Beauty Box is $22.95 a month (US but does ship worldwide). You receive 4 plus full or deluxe sample sized, cruelty free and vegan beauty products. You are promised $50+ worth of products.

Some of the proceeds from each box goes to help different animal charities, hence the cute doggo.

I resubbed mid June, so I am not sure which box it is. The card does state that some products on the card may be substituted and all but one of mine were.

Flora•py Even Tone Sheet Mask $8

This mask is meant to brighten skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots. The essential oils in the mask are meant to promote harmony, synergy, and joy. I could use a little bit of all of those things.

All Good Sport Sunscreen $4.67 1FLOZ

I can always use more sunscreen in the summer months. The protectant in this sunscreen is Zinc and it is oxybenzone free.

Aethera Everyday Botanical Brightening Concentrate $7.30 0.16Oz

This concentrate uses cherry, guava, and papaya to give your skin a nice glow. A perfect trail size for summer!

Delizioso Chamomile Night Cream $39.95

“With skin calming ingredients like chamomile, calendula, aloe, white tea and hemp oil, the rejuvenating night cream leaves the complexion soothed, soft, glowing and supple. Added essential oils of geranium and lavender work towards leaving skin clear and refreshed.” Their website gave the perfect description! I am definitely going to cycle this into my routine soon.

Dr. Botanicals Lemon Superfood All in One Rescue Butter $12.95

This rescue butter can be used anywhere! Face, lips, hands, elbows. It’s very rich, but skins I to the skin easily. And it smells like lemons!

That was my entire Vegancuts Beauty Box! My boxes total came out to $73.07. Not too bad! I got a ton of products I am excited to try, and can’t wait to see what the next box brings!

100% Pure Pretty Naked 2 | A Look and Review

On By Manda JanetteIn cruelty free, makeup, veganLeave a comment

Today, we are going to dive into a cruelty free, vegan, and natural face and eye palette that is pigmented by fruit.

The 100% Pure Pretty Naked 2 Palette

It currently retails for $22 on the 100% pure site. It contains a highlight, blush, and three shadows.

Illume: A pale slightly pink highlight.

Afterglow: A pink peach blush

Beam: A nude gold with gold sparkle

Splendor: A taupe shadow with a charcoal undertone and bronze shimmer

Vivid: A charcoal purple with ruby sparkles

  • I used a fluffy brush and buffed Splendor I to my crease, and out towards the edge some.
  • I used a more precise blending brush and placed vivid in my outer V
  • I packed Beam all over the lid.

  • I ran Splendor under my lower lash line and popped Illume in my inner corner and under my brow bone.
  • I applied Illume to the tip and bridge of my nose, on my Cupid’s bow, and blushed up my cheeks ( and my nose a bit) with After Glow.

Over all thoughts

I really enjoy this palette. I have been reaching for the highlighter a ton, even though it is subtle, and after glow is my new favorite blush. The shadows are great for creating and quick and easy smoky eye.

I 100% recommend getting your hands on the 100% Pure Pretty Naked Two palette.

Have you tried any of the 100% Pure palettes? What are your thoughts?

Petit Vour Box | March 2020

On By Manda JanetteIn cruelty free, makeup, petit vour, Uncategorized1 Comment

Today, we have a cruelty free, clean, and vegan monthly subscription box unboxing. Petit Vour!

Each month you get four beauty products, deluxe sample sizes and at least one full size. This box is skin care heavy, with usually only one makeup item.

We all know unboxing posts can get long, so let’s jump in.

EIR NYC Active Face Wash $20

This foaming cleanser is meant to exfoliate, being scaring to a minimum, and stop break outs. It sounds like everything I need in one bottle!

Alima Pure Natural Definition Eye Pencil $18

Alima Pure is a brand with some wonderful products, especially their setting powders.

This is a traditional eye pencil, but it is jet black and creamy as can be. I am going to go through this girl quickly.

Inkling Scent Roll on Perfume “Sultry” $15

This scent holds notes of sandalwood, amber, lotus flower, orchid, and Bulgarian rose, and vanilla.

My first thought when I smelled the scent was floral, yet a bit masculine. I have to be honest.. I think this is my new favorite scent!

Pacific Coconut Water Micellar Cleansing Tonic $5

This is a product I already know and lovey. This is a great size for travel- not that I will be getting to do any of that anytime soon.

I am very pleased with this months box! I discovered to amazing items, got one I already love, and another I am hoping will answer my facial prayers.

Let’s dive in to the box!

Little Barn Apothecary Honeysuckle and Grapefruit Body Oil $14

Little Barn Apothecary is a fantastic brand, I am always happy to receive products from them. They have a facial oil that I love for makeup removal.

They smell is beautiful, like and floral. It’s like spring time in a bottle!

I have very little experience with natural deodorants, much less with cream deodorants.

I am excited to give it a try and see how affective it is, and how my body reacts to it.

This mask is meant to draw out impurities, refine skin texture, improve hydration, and prevent and treat breakouts. It seems to be exactly what I need at the moment!

BONUS ITEM! K. Voss Bronzing Potion

I don’t think this item was meant to be in my box, as it is not listed on my info card. I am always happy to receive an extra product!

I think this bronzing potion will be perfect for the up coming warmed months. I have never used a product like this, so I am filled with anticipation to try something new!

That is it for my box! For $15 I got some amazing products!
