CurlBox Natural February 2017 | Unboxing & Review | Honey Baby Naturals

July 11, 2017August 6, 2017Leave a comment

This edition of curlBOX Natural was loaded with full-size products from Honey Baby Naturals. The key ingredient in every product is honey to moisturizer and strengthen your curls; I would even recommend it for your little ones. This curlBox natural did not disappoint!

Honeychild Moisture Balance Gentle Shampoo

This is sulfate-free shampoo that includes a blend of honey and chamomile to help soothes the scalp for a relaxing wash day experience that also restores moisture to the hair and dry scalp.

Sweet Softening Conditioner

Creamy conditioner that is infused with a blend of milk protein and honey designed to help hydrate coils and curls days after washing.

Honey Shea Butter Hair Smoothie

With ingredients like honey, shea butter, coconut, olive, sweet almond, sunflower seed, jojoba and carrot oils that promote hair glow. This smoothie smells delicious and provide great curl definition!

Knot My Honey Instant Detangler

As a natural with tight coils, a good Detangler comes in handy and this formula melts the knots allowing fingers to glide right through with minimal tangles. It’s also serves as a lightweight leave-in and can be used for daily maintenance on re-twisting and many other styles.

CurlBOX Natural September 2016 | Unboxing & Review | Uncle Funky’s Daughter

November 22, 2016November 22, 20161 Comment

15137516_10209675419260527_7106585025085094161_o When I opened this edition of curlBOX Natural I was overjoyed to see products from Uncle Funky’s Daughter. I have wanted to try Uncle Funky’s Daughter for years now; however, the brand seemed to almost disappear from the market due to the owners thinking of dissolving the company completely. However, in 2014 Renee Morris acquired the brand and began the work to revamp and revitalize the company and, boy, did she. You can learn more about that by reading her article at www.naturallycurly.com

This instalment of CurlBox Natural “Find Your Vive box was loaded with a host of versatile stylers from Uncle Funky’s Daughter, these products just right for refreshing or maintaining a hairstyle and adds that wow factor to 3 or 4 day hair. I found myself using the Thirsty Curls Leave-in Curl Revitalizer often. My hair was on point and just in time for fall trends.

‘Midnite Train Leave-in Conditioner’

A lightweight spray that penetrates strands making hair soft and adds strength. The mixture of nourishing oils and extracts including aloe, olive, rosemary and honey. (4-Stars)

“Supercurl Miracle Moisture Creme”

First, this creamy styler smells amazing due to the goodies like caramel, and honey. My kinky textured, tight curls felt super moisturized and the twist-out was on the next level and my curls were elongated. (5-Stars)

“Thirsty Curls Leave-in Curl Revitalizer”

Sometimes products can weigh your down; however, this lightweight spray includes an organic blend of extracts of nettle, comfrey, chamomile, calendula, sage, rosemary leaf and horsetail. Making the hair refreshed and hydrated. (5-Stars)

“Glossy Finishing Hair Polish”

If you are looking for that extra shine without that oily feel or weighed down curl then this is your new go to. The spray is infused with eight yes eight different oils that add shine to twist outs, braid outs etc. (3-Stars)

“Curly Magic Curl Stimulator”– I love how this product help cut the frizz, added moisture and help keep my curls elongates. This sample was just right can’t wait to get the full-size bottle for my arsenal! (4-Stars)

EverButter Love Box | Review & Coupon Code

September 23, 2016September 23, 2016Leave a comment

I first learned of EverButter at, ‘Embrace The Natural You’ Natural Hair, Health & Beauty Expo last year. The Co-found Kummbareh Owens taught a session on hair care for children. In December 2015, I had the opportunity to try the Buttermint Smoothie Moisturizing Creme and was very pleased. I’m not sure why it took me so long to purchase the full line. The only item that was missing from this box was a scalp oil; however, EverButter has a Spring Sensation that can be purchased separately. Photo Credit: NaturallyACT

The Box Breakdown

Morning Joy

I really like using no-poo cleansers; however, not all cream cleansers are created equally. Nevertheless I was very pleased with how fresh my hair felt after using the Morning Joy. Photo Credit: Everbutter

Coconut Cream Pie

Don’t you just love the name, this deep conditioner is so good my hair was so soft all I wanted to do was play in my hair. Photo Credit: Everbutter

Chocolate Souffle

Leave-In Conditioner is of my one my favorite items. The smell is amazing. No, like really amazing! It reminded of being at the Bellagio Spa. My hair was super soft and made detangling extremely easy. Photo Credit: Everbutter

Buttermint Smoothie Moisturizing Creme

This product and truly become stable in my hair regimen. I use the smoothie on both freshly washed hair and to refresh an old twist-out. Photo Credit: Everbutter

Genesis

Hair Butter is my absolute favorite item in this box. My hair looks and feels so amazing. The moisture retention in this product is next level. Genesis hair butter locs in all the goodness from the moisturizing cream making my hair shine. My hair tends to be very dry and look ashy (yes my hair looks ashy sometimes) yet this butter leaves my hair shiny but not greasy #LOVE. Photo Credit: Everbutter

Lovely Curl

The moisturizing spray works so well to refresh my day three and four twist-out. I used with a little genesis butter and my hair gets that extra boost of goodness. Photo Credit: Everbutter

The EverButter Love box

This line has everything needed to feed your hair, keep it feeling and looking amazing! My hair tends to be on the dry side naturally; however, the right products can make a world of difference. The Love Box comes in 3 sizes: small, large, and extra large and the price ranges from $25.00 – $105.00. As a blogger I am constantly investing and/or have products sent to me to try, so I chose to get the small Love Box. I should have gotten the large box. Photo Credit: NaturallyACT

curlBOX Natural March 2016 | Unboxing & Review | Mielle Organics

May 31, 2016July 6, 2016Leave a comment

If you have been following my blog for any amount of time, you know how much I love getting curlBOX Natural. If you are new to my blog then you can learn more about curlBox by visiting: www.curlbox.com. You can also check out my other subscription reviews including curlBox Body , curlBox Natural – Eden Body Works, and curlBox Natural – The Mane Choice.

curlbox_natural2 It’s important to have a good regimen when you want ‘stuntworthy’ hair. This curlBOX Natural Volume XII delivers just that with a complete growth regimen from Mielle Organics. It was loaded with all-natural ingredients known to deliver including the vitamins needed to stimulate growth, cleansing and styling products to retain the length and strengthen hair. This box is so necessary to helping you reach those #HairGrowthGoals by building a regimen from Mielle Organics.

curlBOX Natural is a non-subscription hair beauty box ($40.00).

The March 2016 box breakdown

Healthy Hair Formula Vitamins ($18.99)
Detangling Co-Wash ($13.99)
Moisturizing Avocado Hair Milk ($15.99)
Mint Almond Oil ($13.99)

Mielle Organics Healthy Hair Formula Vitamins ($18.99)

Mielle Organics Healthy Hair Formula Vitamins Vitamins are a critical factor in supporting hair growth internally. These pills include: Vitamin B1 & 2, Niacin (Vitamin B3), Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin, Biotin, Copper, Folic Acid, MSM, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, and Zinc. That promote healthier, stronger, longer, thicker hair. I have not tried the Vitamins yet due to currently taking a multivitamin. Once I have completed this dosage I’ll give these a try. *Photo Credit: curlBox.com/box-breakdown

Mielle Organics Detangling Co-Wash ($13.99)

Mielle Organics Detangling Co-Wash As a natural in the 4C category, it’s imperative to find a good detangler. One that not only makes it easy to use but actually works. This is good stuff, it’s a little lighter than I’d prefer. I tend to like my cream cleanser to be super think. My other detangler is awesome; however, this detangling co-wash is good. I love the fact that this is created to be used during the wash process, and helps prevent knots and tangles. (4-Stars) *Photo Credit: curlBox.com/box-breakdown

Mielle Organics Moisturizing Avocado Hair Milk ($15.99)

Mielle Organics Moisturizing Avocado Hair Milk My hair tends to be dry so I like to use a mix of creams and butters to lock in moisture. Avocado is known to add hydration and moisture to dry, thirsty hair and that’s just what this product did. I used the milk as a style refresher and my hair felt extremely hydrated and moisturized. (4-Stars) *Photo Credit: curlBox.com/box-breakdown

Mielle Organics Mint Almond Oil ($13.99)

Mielle Organics Mint Almond Oil I was skeptical of this oil only because I have a nut allergy. However, I tested on the back of my hand and didn’t break into hives. I really like this Mint Almond oil, it may be a little strong for some; however, I found the oil to be very refreshing. I used it with my scalp invigorator and my scalp felt so good, well stimulated and worked a sealant for my strands. My scalp never felt dry. (4-Stars) *Photo Credit: curlBox.com/box-breakdown

ADDITIONAL INFO

I purchased the March 2016 curlBox Natural for $40 included shipping. According to www.MielleOrganics.com the total value is approximately $62.96.

new-mantabolism-plus_medium_782c2f46-1f11-4958-bee6-0aee6f812980_large These vitamins supplements support hair growth from the inside out. I actually have two bottles. Received one in this box and one from a natural hair event. I’m excited to see how my hair transforms. *Photo Credit: curlBox.com/box-breakdown

The Mane Choice Multi-Vitamin Scalp Nourishing Growth Oil ($11.99)

Growth Oil I used this oil so quickly, it feels so good on my scalp. The oil is known to help hair growth by stimulating slow and or inactive hair follicles. The oil is lightweight; perfect for scalp treatments. I used daily with my scalp invigorator to help sooth and massage my scalp. *Photo Credit: curlBox.com/box-breakdown

Shampoo The Mane Choice Easy On The Curls Detangling Hydration Shampoo ($12.99)

I really love this shampoo, it’s hands down one of the best detanglers I have used. My hair is prone to single strand knots and is easily tangled. This shampoo made my wash day so much for effective almost eliminating the big knots and tangles. After shampooing I was easy about to comb through my hair. *Photo Credit: curlBox.com/box-breakdown

The Mane Choice Easy On The Curls Detangling Hydration Conditioner ($13.99)

The conditioner is very hydrating the blend of Biotin and Vitamin E left my hair shining. I almost wanted to leave it in. Along with the shampoo I was able to comb through my hair with ease. I also like the pleasant smell it was not to strong.*Photo Credit: curlBox.com/box-breakdown

Conditoner 2 The Mane Choice Soft As Can Be 3-in-1 Co-Wash, Leave In, Detangler ($12.99)

I was a little sceptical of this product because it’s 3-in-1. Most products that claim to have multiple benefits don’t work that well for me. However, I have found this to be everything it claims to be. The 3-in-1 serves as a pre-cleanse detangler, a creamy co-wash, and a daily leave-in moisturizer. My hair not only felt amazing it was soft and easy to comb through. Tried it as a rinse-out and leave-in, the results were both great although I prefer to use it a s leave-in. *Photo Credit: curlBox.com/box-breakdown

ADDITIONAL INFO

I purchased the January 2016 curlBox Natural for $40 included shipping. According to www.themanechoice.com the total value of products range from $61.98 to $77.95. (YES it’s worth it!!)

ESSENCE® BeautyBox! Subscription Review

January 13, 2016January 13, 2016Leave a comment

Beauty boxes are my favorite!

I feel like I’m getting surprise gifts in the mail every month. Box subscriptions provide the opportunity to tryout some of the latest beauty products. The best part is discovering more about brands and new products.

What is the ESSENCE® BeautyBox?

The ESSENCE® BeautyBox is a service to help women of color discover beauty products. To honor and support the talents and entrepreneurial spirit within our community, each ESSENCE® BeautyBox will feature a product from an independent, Black-owned business.

*Photo Credit: @NaturallyACT And now to the good stuff….

The October 2015 ~ Inaugural Box

Photo Credit: @NaturallyACT

(I call this the Birthday Box because I’m an October baby).

Creme Brûlée | by Curls

As a kinky curly/natural girl, it’s alway great to get products I can use; however, this box had two items that may not for subscribers who are not natural. That being said I am VERY happy with all the items in the October box. The customization options will be great once implemented.

*Photo Credit: essencebeautybox.com

Coconut Shea Leave In Conditioner | by Eden Bodyworks

I received Eden Bodyworks in a different beauty box and fell in love with how my hair come out with the product. The best part about this items is that is travel size.

*Photo Credit: essencebeautybox.com

Shea Butter Hand Cream | by L’occitane

In my opinion, you can never have enough hand creams, it’s great in harsh midwest weather. The one negative regarding this product is that it’s quite expensive; $28.00 for 5.2.oz, and $12.00 1 oz.

*Photo Credit: essencebeautybox.com

Eternity Now | by Calvin Klein

Such a great citrus scent! The fragrance was not overpowering and it last a long time.

*Photo Credit: essencebeautybox.com

The Brow Architect 3-in-1 | by tarte

I have very thick and very full eyebrows so this product was not a great fit for me; however, I think it’s a perfect fit for people who need add a little something to their eyebrows

*Photo Credit: essencebeautybox.com

Overall, I really like this box. I will be using all but one of the products, yet it still gets 5-Stars.

The November 2015 ~ Surprise & Delight Box

Photo Credit: @NaturallyACT

No-Poo® and One Condition Decadence™ | by DevaCurl

I like that they provided the cleanser and conditioner, and not just one of the items. Overall, I’m a fan of DevaCural. I don’t use it often; however, I do like the way my hair feels after using. For now, I’ll save these items for when I travel.

*Photo Credit: essencebeautybox.com

Color Splurge™ Luxe Matte Lipstick | by Black Opal

Nothing like a good red lip! This color looks great on me; however, I was just a little a disappointed with the size of this lipstick. Overall, I was pleased with the way it looks and feels.

*Photo Credit: essencebeautybox.com

Full Exposure Mascara | by SmashBox

I only wear mascara once maybe twice a week so it took me a while to try, yet this mascara did not disappoint. Although it clumps a little I like the fact that my eyelashes have an extra pop of awesomeness!

*Photo Credit: essencebeautybox.com

Professionals Moroccan Infusion Body Lotion | by Suave

I’m not really a fan of Suave products. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to try it or just give it away. For now it’s in my giveaway stach.

*Photo Credit: essencebeautybox.com

Hair Fragrance Mist | by Fekkai

At first i was like, what!!?! Fragrance for my hair? Then I realized it can be put to good use after a hot yoga class. Still haven’t tried it; however, I do think it has a nice scent.

*Photo Credit: essencebeautybox.com

Once again, I am happy with this box, I’m still on the fence about one of the products; however, I’ll still give ESSENCE® 5-Stars.

The December 2015 ~ It’s a Celebration box

Photo Credit: @NaturallyACT

Outlast Longwear Lipstick | by Covergirl |

Love! Love! Love, this color on me. I didn’t think it was going to work, but its does. It not your typical red lipstick because, it as an orange undertone with a great matte finish.

*Photo Credit: essencebeautybox.com

Pearlized Eyeshadow | by Vera Moore

I have really been into golden/brown eyeshadows lately, and this color did not disappoint; it’s bold yet soft.

*Photo Credit: essencebeautybox.com

Mango Body Wash | by Boots Extracts

Love the smell and it feels good on my skin. It’s perfect for traveling.

*Photo Credit: essencebeautybox.com

Sacred Tiare Combing Crème | by Carol’s Daughter

I have to admit, I am skeptical about trying this product. The last time I tried a Carol’s Daughter hair product, my hair felt extra-dry and brittle afterwards. I’ll most likely use it ask a giveaway at an event.

*Photo Credit: essencebeautybox.com

Biotin and Collagen Conditioner | by OGX

I’m on the fence about using this. I feel like it’s a better fit for heat styled naturals, or non-naturals.

prod_egyptianmagic_bonus

Bones Item: Egyptian Magic Cream | by Egyptian Magic

Best bones item ever. This product is, ‘everything’, it’s not greasy and feels great on my skin.

*Photo Credit: essencebeautybox.com

I was going to give this box 3 stars; however, the Egyptian Magic Cream makes this ESSENCE® box 5-Stars.

CurlBox Body Review

December 15, 2015December 31, 20151 Comment

If you don’t already know how I feel about this curlBOX movement, Then I don’t know where you have been LOL 😀

I am such a fan of the curlbox line created my Myleik Teele. I have been inspired by Myleik’s raw uncut, tell it like she see it personality, her drive, business sense, passion, companies, book recommendations and podcast are top-notch.

When I learned that curlBOX was releasing a body vision non-subscription to the original curlBOX monthly subscription of hair products I was soooo excited. The first two boxes didn’t disappoint (well almost)! curlBOX body volume I included Carol’s Daughter Almond Cookie line not bad I just didn’t enjoy the sent, however it made a great gift. Below you will find a list of curlBOX body volume I through volume III

curlBOX body volume I had six full-size items that included (not all pictured):

Carol’s Daughter Almond Cookie Sulfate-Free Cleansing Gel
Carol’s Daughter Almond Cookie Dry Oil Body Spray
Carol’s Daughter Almond Cookie Shea Souffle
OGX Miracle In-Shower Oil
Secret Clinical Strength Clear Gel
Harlem Soap (Patchouli & Lavender) * MY FAVORITE ITEM in this box.

11760219_10153386508882597_2749766958295521301_n

curlBOX Body Volume II included five full-sized items and a duel sample pack.

Olay Moisture Outlast Ultra Moisture Bar
Shea Moisture Superfruit Complex Hand & Body Scrub
- w/ Body Wash & Lotion sample
Palmer’s Eventone Sun Care Collection:
- Moisturizing Sunscreen for Face
- Moisturizing Sunscreen Lotion
- Moisturizing Sunscreen Balm

There are so many benefits to box subscriptions like curlBox Body. These boxes allow the opportunity to try a variety of beauty products at a great cost. *CurlBox body is NOT a monthly subscription box as of yet

…… AND now this is the third installment of curlBOX body:

curlBOX BodyVolume III November 2015: Site description:

Dropping temperatures mean more layers, ESPECIALLY for your skin. Lucky for you, volume III of curlBOX Body is stocked with everything you need to keep skin smooth, supple, and infuse with MAX moisture all winter long. This is NOT a subscription box (YET).

I couldn’t agree more the dry harsh midwest weather requires lots of moisture. Ever since I received the Harlem Soap (Patchouli & Lavender) in the first curlBOX body, I have been enjoying using natural soap bars in place of body wash. I was really looking forward to trying the two soap bars that came in volume III.

Jolie Bloom Royal Oats Shower Bar ($10.00) has real oats in it and I just love that, however the scent was a little overwhelming. After visiting Jolie Bloom site I decided to get the WAKE UP: Coffee And Cane Sugar Scrub, Ill let you know what I think on a later blog.

TGIN Natural Soap Olive Oil with Shea Butter + Olive Oil (Sugar Pear) $4.99 is a winner for me. The soap feels great on my skin and the smell is just right. I have been looking forward to trying some TGIN products for a while and was super excited to see the soap in my box.

I have not used the Egyptian Magic All Purpose Skin Cream ($26.00 for 2-oz jar). I yet I have heard mostly good things. I’ll be sure to keep you posted!

I am pleasantly pleased with Cantu Softening Body Butter ($9.99), I must admit I’m not a big fan of the Cantu hair-line however the body butter is great, I really like the texture and soft sent.

The Shea Yeleen Shea Butter Cream – Vanilla Almond ($14.25) feels good on my skin however the sample was not enough ill have to purchase a full size to give it a real review.

I’m not a fan of OGX Nourishing Coconut Oil Weightless Oil Body Mist ($6.99 ) I don’t have anything bad to say its just not a product I liked using. I prefer to used a mix of Jojoba Oil, Vitamin E and Essential Oils. That being said I really like Bolden Shea Oil I found the mint sent to help give me a boosts energy.

The Bolden Shea Oil – Butter Mint ($29.50) this oil is amazing the small is a great pick me up in the mornings.

Hope you enjoyed this review, overall I have been pleased with my curlBOX body products. I enjoy being exposed to companies/products I never head of. The best part is being able to try out some items on my list. See below for more information on the products mentioned:

All opinions regarding these products are my own. All products mentioned in this blog post were purchased as part of a non-monthly subscription in which I purchased. This is not a paid nor sponsored post. For additional information on how to get curlBOX visit: http://www.curlbox.com

CURLBOX NATURAL JULY 2015 FIRST IMPRESSION / EDEN BODYWORKS REVIEW

September 30, 2015October 1, 20151 Comment

Better late then never 😀 finally getting around to using my July 2015 curlBOX Natural. This edition included a cleanser, a masque, conditioners and more from the all-natural EDEN Bodyworks Coconut Shea Collection.

My first impression of the box was excitement, I have wanted to try the EDEN Bodyworks line after receiving a sample packet at a natural hair meetup in Detroit. The sample packet left a good impression yet wanted to try out more options for the full experience.

curlBox Natural is a quarterly subscription box made up of 90-100% natural ingredients. The box included five full size EDEN Bodyworks products and a few sample products from Qhemet Biologics.

*Pictured Q-Redew, curlBox Natural box, Scalp Massage Shampoo Brush, Large wide tooth comb, Denman brush and EDEN Bodyworks Coconut Shea Collection. Not pictured Qhemet Biologics samples.

Product Received: Coconut Shea Moisture Shampoo ($8.99) Size: 8 oz

Product Description: Sulfate free & mild cleanser that restores moisture to hair, a gentle cleanser for all hair types.

Review: After washing my hair felt clean and fresh, the smell is not my favorite. However will use again. The slip was nice and felt good on my scalp.

Product Received: Coconut Shea Hair Masque ($8.99) Size: 16 oz

Product Description: Penetrates hair shaft to transform dry, brittle hair through an intensely moisturizing botanical blend of Coconut Oil and Shea Butter to deliver softer, stronger hair.

Review: This was my FAVORITE!!I Love the way natural curls look while the product was in my hair and work well for detangling. I let the product sit on my hair for about 20 mins and used my Q-Redew to help lock in the moister. I will defiantly use this masque again and buy this product again.

Product Received: Coconut Shea Leave In Conditioner ($8.99) Size: 8 oz

Final thoughts

On a scale of 1 to 5, I give this product a 4 , because I wouldn’t necessary buy all of the items again. Overall I like the products they worked well and would you recommend giving it a try for yourself. I would repurchase the Hair Masque and oil again, my hair felt soft and moisturized.
