Essentielle Beauty is a brand new beauty/retail site that curates the best global beauty products and trends, then provides them individually or in pre-selected and themed boxes. Originally Essentielle Beauty was started to share some of the amazing beauty products that aren't always readily available worldwide. Brands on the site were chosen because they provide quality products and use natural ingredients (over artificial whenever possible) including herbs, flowers, essences, honey and oils. Many also use cutting edge and/or patented technology at the forefront of beauty advances.
Essentielle Beauty carries several subscription beauty boxes: Simple Skincare Box, Deluxe Skincare Box, Makeup Box, Mystery Box, and Starter Box.
I received the Mystery Box.
In the mystery box we mix everything up, with a little skin care and a little makeup. No promises but each month we will try to add a new must have discovery.
Cost: $39/month + Shipping.
Ships: Internationally - Shipping fees apply.
FYI: Box subscriptions are available to US only at this time. Canadian and international customers can only purchase the 1 month box.
Promo Code:
- PB2015 - Save 10% off any box or perfume.
- LISA - Save 14% off any order excluding boxes and perfume. (Exp. May 30/15)
No fancy packaging, products come in a regular postal box, but upon opening there were lots of full size products which was great to see! No product info card either, but I wouldn't necessarily expect to see one in the Mystery Box since all will be different.
The Face Shop Real Nature Mask Kelp
$1.99
A purifying mask sheet that contains kelp extracts to help enable a pure skin appearance. The air pockets within the sheet contain a handful of nutritional essence, providing natural moisture and nourishment to skin.
I don't use masks often, but this one seems like a good one.
The Face Shop Smart Peeling Apple Jelly
$12.99
This transclucent jelly moisturizes and mildly exfoliate. It contains AHA from apples to softly remove dead skin cells without irritation. Other ingredients include natural sugar, vitamin B5, vitamin B9, pectin and vitamin C.
I've wanted to try products from The Face Shop, so I'm happy that 2 products from this brand are in the box. I really love peeling gels, they do such great job of giving me smooth skin!
Secret Key Aloe Soothing Toner
$13.99
I also love toners! I'm really liking this box so far! This toner is suitable for all skin types and moisturizes without giving skin a greasy feel, so it's perfect for anyone with an oily skin complexion.
Privia U New York Glittering Eye Shadow (Glittering Green)
$6.99
The packaging is pretty cute, but to my disappointment I received this light green shade. I know what colours work well with my eye colour, but unfortunately this green is too bright for me.
Klairs Illuminating Supple Blemish Cream
$26.99
This BB cream works well for all skin types but is especially useful for those with troubled or oily skin. It adds very light coverage but does not irritate blemishes (which most “cover ups” do). The shade is a natural one, without the grey undertone in some BB creams and it feels light on the face. Klairs BB cream has won multiple customer awards for best BB cream. It also includes light sun protection, with SPF 40.
I have used this product before and it really did nothing for me. I found it made me look ashy and I didn't like the consistency of it. I was pretty surprised that I didn't like it because it sounds like it's made for me.
Ariul Stress Relieving Purefull Cleansing Foam
$8
This is actually what I've been using lately to clean my face which I received in a previous Memebox. It's a cream cleanser that's just a good everyday cleanser. I don't know why it's called foaming because it doesn't foam up. I wish it did more for stress relief though haha!
The Essentielle Beauty Mystery Box had a total value of $70.95. This box totally exceeded my expectations and am happy with the products and value! The products are all full size and high quality. These are the kind of products I love trying and I think Essentielle Beauty is a great replacement for those who loved Memebox but can't order from there anymore since they no longer ship internationally. While this box had mostly Korean beauty products, Essentielle Beauty will not be limiting the products to Korean brands but want to offer the best and undiscovered products. When you sign up for a box there is a questionnaire to fill out so that boxes can be customized to your skin type which is great. Who wants a box filled with products all wrong for their skin type?! Not me! I'd also like to mention that the owner, Megan strives to bring customers the very best in beauty products from around the world. All the products on the site are ones that she has used, chosen, and curated to offer a balanced mix of excellent and branded products.
