Last month, newest Aussie subscription box Violet Box launched! I was lucky enough to be one of the first signed up, and I was pretty pleased with the first box. (You can read all about the first box here.)
This month I've already noticed a change in their box - it now has an adorable purple bow to keep the lid closed, and the box is a lot more sturdy! I love sturdier boxes as they can be used to store all sorts of things, so good change, Violet Box!
Catalina Geo Long & Deep Mascara + Refill
As if I need any more mascaras (see my mascara collection here) but I'm always happy to receive a makeup product! I love that there is a refill included, so if you really fall in love you have another tube there! Although I'm a little bit skeptical about the marketing of this. Isn't the point of the mascaras expiring after 6 months not a fault with the actual formula, but because you're using the same wand on your eyes day in day out? So the point of a refill is a bit silly, in that aspect. But for someone like me, who doesn't care about the 6 month rule, I'm happy with it!
St. Tropez Bronzing Mousse
As you can tell from the picture above, this is a miniature size! You'll probably guess that I'm not much of a tanner due to my pale skin, and the fact that you've never read a review on a tanning product here before! Either way, I am considering trying out tanning products come summer - so I'll probably give this a go!
Peony Eye Cream
I actually love the look of this little tub! I'm a bit lazy when it comes to eye cream usually, but I think I'll give this one a go. While there's only a small amount of product, there's more than enough to test this out for a few months!
Model Co Shine Ultra Lip Gloss in Strip Tease
This is actually my third Model Co gloss in Strip Tease that I've received in subscription boxes! I gave my second one away to my sister for her birthday, but this one will be thrown into my giveaway bag for somebody who will actually use it! (One is enough, thanks!) I wonder why Model Co have so many glosses to give away! Either way, this one is fairly handy with the little mirror on the side!
Adorn Cosmetics Eye Shadow Samples in Coral Pearl & Golden Quartz
I really love the look of these! While like some people I am a little bit of a beginner when it comes to mineral or pigmented makeup, I do really like the effect it gives! These colours are gorgeous and neutral, which means I'll definitely be able to get a lot of use out of them! I particularly love how shimmery they are!
Coupons & Extras
Just a few little coupons and deals - one from Catalina Geo and one from Adorn Cosmetics! I can see myself using the Adorn Cosmetics deal - as I already love the look of their makeup!

Overall, I'm pretty pleased with this month's Violet Box! At first glance, I didn't think too much of it, but after writing my review here I definitely feel more positive about the box! I think I'll keep my subscription going for a little while longer to see what else they come up with, as I'm really like it so far!
