On Friday I received the very first Violet Box! I've been really looking forward to this box, as I'm such a fan of subscription boxes, and Violet Box has just hit the market! I've heard a bit of hype around Violet Box in the last few months, so having it arrive on Friday was pretty exciting!
The box itself is a chic black cardboard box, with their gorgeous and classic design in purple. I love that it's easily reusable without looking too tacky!
I love the design on the information card. The card itself is not unlike those of other subscription boxes, giving a quick description of the products included.
All of the goodies. I'm seeing a few interesting products!
CK One Gloss Eye Color in Ultra
At first I thought this was a lip gloss, and when I pulled it out to see a shimmery silver I was a little bit confused. Then I reread the box, and was pleasantly surprised! While this "eye gloss" is extremely sheer, it's also really beautiful. I could definitely use it to create some lovely looks, and having received a silver colour, I'm happy that this is so versatile.
Calvin Klein Sheer Beauty Perfume Sample
I'm always happy to receive perfume samples, as it's probably the most usable thing you can get in subscription boxes. It's the perfect way to properly test a perfume, and practically every woman can take advantage.
Lash Control Clear Coat Mascara and Brow Fix
I'm oh so excited to receive this! I've been on the hunt for something like this for a little while, but never got around to actually buying one, so this works out perfectly! I honestly can't wait to test this one out!
Eau Thermale Avene Gentle Gel Cleanser
While I'm happy to receive a 50ml sample, I wonder why Avene gives their samples to practically every sample box! There's only so much Avene us girls can use! A cleanser never goes astray, however, so I'm not displeased. I haven't received this in any other box, as far as I can remember.
John Plunkett Essentials Glyco Peel
This is a night time exfoliator, and I can't wait to test it out! I've been hearing a lot of good things about this brand, so I'm pretty excited to receive this!
Argania Hair Oil Light
I'm always happy to get hair products, and this is a nifty little bottle! I like that it's light oil, as I already have fairly natural oily hair, it's good to use something that's not too oily. Can't wait to test this out!

Overall I think this is a pretty good first box. I think it's a fairly strong box, and I'm excited to see what else is in store from Violet Box. A subscription for this box will set you back $22.95, which is a little extra compared to a few of the other boxes. I'm not sure how I feel about this, as I'm not sure I see a whole lot of difference between this and Bellabox/Lust Have It... but time will tell! I like to receive a few boxes before making up my mind.
