The Handmade Beauty Box is definitely a new concept in
beauty subscription boxes! When we were approached to review the newest beauty
subscription box, we were rather skeptical. Honestly, we like our beauty boxes
filled with pre-made goodies. But, never ones to shy away from a challenge we
met the new concept head on.
We received the Handmade Beauty Box March 2015: Cuticle Balms and Lip Balms box, which happened to be perfect
timing as we were in need of some serious cuticle rescue.
In The Box:
- Shea Butter
- White Beeswax
- Avocado Oil
- Passion Fruit Rose Fragrance & Flavor Oil
- 15 Mini Tins
- 2 Droppers
- 1 Cuticle Pusher and Mini Nail File
- Finished Labels
- Instructions
Everything that we needed to make cuticle cream and lip
balm was included! All we needed to do was grab a saucepan and measuring cup in
the kitchen. Creating the balm was very simple. We mixed the shea butter,
beeswax, and avocado oil together in the saucepan over a low heat (the
directions instruct to use the microwave – but we like to color outside the
lines!) until the ingredients were melted. We then added Passion Fruit Rose
Fragrance & Flavor Oil and mixed. We carefully filled the provided tins and
after allowing the balm to cool for a few hours, viola … cuticle and lip balm!
We applied the provided labels after, and we actually should have done so
before adding the balm to the tins, but live and learn. The finished product
was good and this was a fun DIY project.
Handmade Beauty Box is $29.99 a
month (shipping included), and you can order just one month or sign up for 1-,
3- or 12 months. The Handmade Beauty Box was conceived by Anne-Marie Faiola of Bramble Berry Soap Supplies and all
recipes are tested before they go out to customers. Overall, the Handmade Beauty
Box is an interesting experience and easily worth the price. Plus, there is an
entire “Handmade” community that shares their tips. Not bad for the DIY crew.
