Be Pretty Box from Vita Cost

I think I've mentioned before how ambivalent I am about beauty boxes. On one end, the idea of getting a box full of surprises, as well as scoring expensive stuff for cheap sounds extremely appealing. On the other end, almost every time, I real a blog that covers one of those boxes, I'm disappointed - it just never seem to be worth the money and expectation.

And so, the compromise that I found with this is going for a box from a supplier that I already had good experience with. It started with Julep Maven, a box of great nail polish and beauty products which is all from the same company, than I got the pretty wonderful coastal Scents mystery box was was also really nice (especially, since one of the eye shadows became my favorite blush in the past week).

And now, I got the Vita Cost "Be Pretty" box. I order t mostly because Vita Cost have my favorite toothpaste at 2/3 of the price and I had to order that anyway.

For $14 including shipping, I got a not very sturdy cardboard box that felt very heavy. I was very curious to see what's inside, since it felt quite full.

And this is what was inside:

2 little bottles of Kiss my Face liquid soap. not too exciting, though I do like this company, especially their sun block. At any other time I'de be disappointed, but I'm going on vacation in a couple of weeks, and so, this is just perfect. I'm very pleased.

A full side bottle is $7 on Vita Cost for 17oz. so this is about 2$ worth of soap.

4 little saches of eye serum and face serum by Desert essence. I've never used this, but I do like this company, so I'm happy to give it a shot. 

Coral active moisturizer for acne prone skin. Never heard about this company before, but it sounds good, I do suffer from acne and always looking for that one product that will actually do something.
This is priced at $13, which is pretty cool since this was the price of the whole box + shipping.

Deep Steep moisturizing stick. I'm not quite sure if this is a lip balm or what, but the packaging is really cute. I like everything passion fruite and though I have more then 20 open lip balm at the moment, I'm always happy to try a new one. 

Price: $3

2 small unscented soaps by Out of Africa, again, a company I never heard about, and again something I wouldn't usually be too happy about, if it weren't for my upcoming vacation. those would be perfect for that. 

A full size of this soap is $3, so thought 2 minis are about 1$ each. 

Eye Gelee by Reviva Labs. I adore this company, I only tried their Glycolic acid peel and it's one of the more effective facial treatments I've ever used. I'm so excited to try another product by them. the bottle say "use in the morning" but I just tried this in the evening after a long day of sitting infront of computer screens and found it really soothing and refreshing. For me, this is the highlight of this box.

Price is $6.5

Last is some color! Yay! Lip plumping lip gloss is a really beautiful color! at least in the tube, I haven't tried it yet. It's nice to get some makeup after all the skin care and soap. And I'm glad they went for a color that's really pretty and doesn't feel like a chance to get rid of all the lavender brown horrible gloss no one wanted. 

Price is $5

Over all, I'm really excited to get this package. The total value is about $28 or maybe a little more. All of the products are totally new to me. I can see how for someone this can be disappointing, but since I needed a bunch of travel size products and I'm super happy about any acne products and any Reviva Lab products, I feel like this box was made for me.

I don't know if I get this every single month, but I'm excited and curious to see what's in the next one.
