My Pretty Pink Box review & giveaway

Posted in: Current Giveaways,Reviews | February 26th, 2010

~ CLOSED ~

Have you ever wanted to try a new beauty product but were too afraid to actually purchase a full size container for fear that you would not like it or the product would not do what it claimed? I know I’ve been there and actually been disappointed a few times in my purchases.

Well, surprise… you no longer have to do that with My Pretty Pink Box! Linda Granillo recently sent me the February box to give me an idea of what you might find in a typical My Pretty Pink Box. Each month is different. A new surprise every time. It’s like receiving a nice little Birthday gift of something you didn’t expect.

Wanna know what was in my box? Here, take a peek….

Ok, now I’ll tell you. hehee. My box contained:

A full size bottle of Simply Stylin’ hair product. This is a no-frizz styler that gives you longer, healthier, shinier hair.

Beauté Minéral Alluring Eyes Mineral Eye Color in Athena sample. Beauté Minéral creates makeup that looks and feels natural.

Dr. Michelle Copeland Skin Care Daily Moisturizer with SPF-30 and 2 packets of Rewind Eye Formula. Dr. Copeland’s skin care products are clinically tested and specially formulated to reduce signs of aging—helping you achieve and maintain supple, vibrant, healthy-looking skin.

Pin Up Cosmetics Glamour Mineral Face & Body Shimmer. Pin Up Cosmetics carries natural and vegan products which are always cruelty free.

Purus Cosmetics Shaliners in Cinnamon Tea and Leafy samples. Use these Shaliners as eyeliner, eyeshadow, face color, highlighter, blush, bronzer, mix in the nail polish, lip gloss, and more!

Lue Cosmetics Mineral Blush in Antique Rose sample. Lue Cosmetics brings you a truly natural blend of minerals with a color palette you will enjoy.

Each My Pretty Pink Box will contain at least 1-2 full size containers. Prices vary per month and is announced a few days before each release. The price of the February box is $11.99 + shipping.

My Pretty Pink Boxes go on sale once a month at 7:00 am Pacific time. If you would like, you can receive an email prior to each release. There is a purchase limit of 3 boxes per account, per month.

I honestly had never tried any of these products before and I had fun experimenting with each. The label on the Pin Up Cosmetics sample reminded me of a risque calendar my Grandpa had hanging in his garage. Va Va Va Voom! hehee. Though I don’t think I’ve become a huge fan of any of the samples in this specific box, they really were not bad. I do love mineral makeup because it gives you a nice, smooth, matte finish so that would have to be my favorite of the mix. I’m very interested in seeing what next month will bring.
