This my first review of the Nina Garcia Quarterly subscription box. This box has been on my radar for some time, so I couldn't be more excited to finally check it out for myself! I'd like to point out that if you order this box you will receive the next one which ships in February and I have some details on what the theme will be. I'll let you know at the end of the review.
The Nina Garcia Quarterly subscription box is curated by Nina Garcia, Creative Director of Marie Claire magazine. Boxes include stylish trends, such accessories, beauty, skincare, jewelry and more, all handpicked by Nina Garcia.
Cost: $99/quarter
Shipping: US - $8, Canada - $30, Rest of world - $30-$45
This quarter's box features some of the best brands creating eco-friendly, health conscious, and sustainable products.
I love how each item is wrapped in this custom Nina Garcia tissue paper.
French Girl Sea Spray (Jasmin/Neroli)
$12
This texturizing spray enriched with 3 varieties of organic sea salt and nourishing essential oils gives hair effortless style. It's made with organic and vegan ingredients and never tested on animals.
Maya Water Facial Mist
$40
The fine facial spray allows the skin to absorb the water immediately, helping to nourish, cleanse and apply moisture on bare skin, or over your make up. It's made with clean, mineral-rich and pH neutral water from Skogshorn in Hemsedal to revitalize and cleanse dry, tired skin. I love using these type of sprays during the colder months to refresh my skin.
W3LL People Expressionist Mascara
$21.99
This mascara has no harsh artificial chemicals or petroleum derivatives that can irritate the sensitive eye area. It's 100% cruelty-free, petroleum-free, paraben-free, gluten-free, coal tar-free, aluminum-free, fiber-free, and clump-free! It gave my lashes a natural look and I like that the slim brush was able to get at all my lashes.
Synergy Organic Clothing Tissue Infinity Scarf
$24 $14.40
This scarf is made of 100% organic cotton and low impact dyes. I love how lightweight it is and the colour will go with just about anything! It's a scarf I'll wear a lot.
Ariana Ost Key Necklace
$80
This necklace is handmade and handcrafted in the US, and uses recycled chains. It's a great everyday piece that can be worn alone or layered with some shorter, delicate necklaces. I like the long length and the hand sewn french threaded tassel, crystal beads, and cameo logo tag for branded detail are cute.
Johnny Fly Co. Sunglasses
$90
I love the style of these sunglasses. They're a new twist on the classic Wayfarer style with a tortoise pattern frame and redwood wooden arms. The glasses are made from acetate and solid natural wood.
They're even packaged in a sustainable wooden case.
Good Cloth Fiesta Clutch
$60
This clutch is made from upcycled Huipiles, a traditional hand-loomed Mayan blouse by fair trade artisans in Guatemala. It's very well made and it adds some excitement to what can sometimes be the muted colour palette of fall. I love clutches and am happy to add this one to my collection!
The total value of the Nina Garcia Quarterly #NGQ08 box is approximately $318. I really enjoyed this box and everything that was included. I especially liked the theme and was introduced to some pretty amazing brands! Now, a bit of a teaser for the next Nina Garcia box which ships in February... the theme will be something along the lines of work desk chic, with items directly from Nina's desk at Marie Claire.
What do you think of the Nina Garcia Quarterly #NGQ08 box?
