Petit Vour January Subscription Box

January Petit Vour Box
This post is a little late, but I just received my January Petit Vour box in the mail the other day and was excited to write about it.  Not only is it my first box with this company but it's my first subscription box ever!  Petit Vour is a monthly luxury vegan beauty box and although I personally am not a vegan I find that vegan products tend to be more natural and conscious about their ingredients.  I figured since I have just recently starting switching over all my makeup and skin care to more natural brands that this was a great way to try out a bunch of products every month without breaking the bank.  This box did not disappoint.

There were four products in Januaries box.  Three full sized products and one deluxe sample size.  I'll start with my least favourite and end with my fave!  Hard to decide which I loved the least and most since all the products were great!


RawSKinCeuticals Rose Cream Blush
RawSkinCeuticals Rose Cream Blush: Blush is probably my favourite makeup item so I was very excited for this one!! I love the formula of this blush.  It is super pigmented, and a VERY small amount goes a long way.  I always have a hard time applying cream blush evenly but this blush was very easy to blend and dries to an almost powder consistency.  
RawSkinCeuticals Heavy Swatch
I wanted to love this blush but I couldn't get past the color.  The best way to describe it would be a pale lavender pink....wait is that even a color??  When it dries it almost leaves a white cast on my face.  It just did nothing for my complexion.  I am sure it looks beautiful on cool porcelain skin tones and although I have a very light complexion, especially now in the dead of our Canadian winter, it was still too pale for even me.  I will continue to play around with it, and it may be nice as a base to another blush.....but that seems like adding more steps to my already simple makeup routine.


Evolvh Smart Start Leave-In Conditioner:  I am super excited about this product.  Switching my hair care over to cleaner brands has been of a slower process for me.  I am looking forward to trying something in my hair that nourishes and protects my hair at the same time.  I am hoping that this will replace my chemically ridden heat protecting spray.  I have tried using this a hair refresher for second day hair but I find my hair responds better to a dry shampoo since my hair tends to get a little oily.  I really enjoy the smell of this product too, it smells so fresh and clean!


100% Pure French Lavender Hand Buttercream
100% Pure French Lavender Hand Buttercream:  I have been dying to try anything from 100% Pure and this hand cream did not disappoint!  It is so rich and hydrating but not greasy and it absorbs quickly.  It feels so buttery and luxurious as far as hand creams go!  The irony is that although the smell of lavender is not my favorite, I use it all the time for aromatherapy.  I find it so de-stressing and relaxing.


Modern Minerals En Pointe Eyeshadow
Modern Minerals Eyeshadow En Pointe:  This is such a beautiful rose-gold color!  Fall out is minimal for a mineral shadow and the color is so beautiful.  This was definitely my favorite of all the products, although as you can probably tell I really liked all of them.  The color payoff was pretty good and it built up pretty well.  It lasted all day with just a minimal amount of creasing, a little primer would probably go a long way to making this shadow really long wearing.



Overall I am so pleased with my first box and I can't wait till February's comes in!!  If you're on the fence about subscribing I would say do it!  It's $15 if you're in the US and $23 for Canadian subscribers.  The total value of January's box was $43.50 so even with the not so good Canadian dollar it was still a great value!
