Lets take a lil looky inside this month's Petit Vour vegan and cruelty free beauty box, i show you the items in the video as well as mini written reviews!



Lily Lolo Sculpt & Glow
I'm super excited to add this to a future giveaway since i already have this product and even have a review on it you can check out if you'd like to.

Overall its a really convenient little contour and highlight palette with great shades in! I'm so stoked they included it in this months box and think a lot of people will LOVE it.


Formulary 55 Body Polish
I decided to mix mine with coconut oil as it suggested and it made a really nice scrub. The grains are fine and do a good job of exfoliating without being too scratchy and the oil added left me super moisturized.

The scent wasn't very strong at all but still fresh and soothing. I definitely think this would be a lovely treat once in a while or a nice little gift for your perpetually stressed out friend/family member.


True Moringa Lavender Facial Oil
I wasn't really sure this was something i'd love right away but applied after a hot bath and some toner, it left my skin feeling moisturized and firm. It didn't feel like traditional oils that can feel almost too slippery when applied and sunk in very quickly.

Definitely a great option if you want to try a facial oil but don't want to feel... oily.


Box Naturals Luxe Towelettes
Now, i'm very picky about wipes or towelettes and can't stand those flimsy ones you end up poking a finger through. Luckily, these are not like this; the towel itself is thicker, strong and stretchy as well as being a decent size!

Like i mentioned in the video, i'm not usually into products designed for "intimate use" not only because they can throw your delicate pH off balance but because i think its weird that some people feel shame about a very natural thing... body odor. I think thats why these appealed to me more because they can be used ANYWHERE but you know they're safe for your downstairs if needed!

Reading their website, i fell in love with the fact they identify as feminists and really want to celebrate that and i think thats a really refreshing thing for a company to state so freely.



These should all be available to buy in full sizes at their store soon so i'll update the individual products as soon as they are. In the meantime, you can sign up for your own Petit Vour subscription box here or check out their store here (be warned, theres LOTS of good stuff).

I had a little rummage through my collection to find some old favorites to show you guys. Beauty bloggers try new products all the time so its easy for favorites to fall by the wayside.


This includes LOTS of products, i'm aware. I just figured it was a great way to show you lots of old favorites in one video!

Personally, i'd have named this the "cutey contour" because of its size but i guess Lily Lolo had other ideas. Let me show you what i thought of this little duo...

We all know i love a good 2-in-1 so when i saw Lily Lolo had one and the colors looked gorgeous, i grabbed one for myself.

The Contour Duo retails for $26 and comes in the tiniest little package, perfect for an easy travel glow or touch ups through out the day.


The bronzer is the perfect shade for contouring and bronzing (bronzouring?) in one swoop and makes for very easy application. I use it on my trusty Eco Tools Stippling Brush and swirl around my hair line, cheeks and jaw line then use a little on an eyeshadow brush to contour my nose!

The highlight is a beautiful slightly cooler-than-usual champagne and looks gorgeous on the high points of the face. I've even used it when i'm not wearing other makeup to get a bit of a glow when i'm feeling flat. You can built it up from a subtle glow like i have in the picture above right the way up to a bright glow more similar to what you can see when i swatched on my finger.


Overall i'm really glad i picked this up, not only for its slimline shape but because the products are just incredible and so easy to use.

What are your favorite Lily Lolo items?

I hate to sound over-dramatic but i can officially die happy now i've found my ultimate dupe.

















The process of switching over to vegan makeup was pretty smooth sailing but there was one product that i could never find a replacement for. Knowing this, i kept the remainder of the Bare Minerals "well rested" concealer i had so that i could compare products to it until i found it's vegan counterpart.

The thing i loved about the BM concealer was the finish, it wasn't quite matte but it also wasn't really satin either and i loved it for the under-eye area. The products i compared it to were always either the wrong color, didn't provide enough coverage or ended up very cakey. Until, that is, i found the Lily Lolo mineral concealer.


Lets get the stats out of the way first...

Bare Minerals concealer- 2g of product for $19

Lily Lolo concealer- 5g of product for $18


The Lily Lolo concealer comes in 4 shades and the one i guessed might work for me was "barely beige". They have awesome color guides on their website which i always appreciate, their concealer one is here and their foundation one is here.

Although "barely beige" is a little lighter and less yellow than "well rested", it gives the same flawless effect only better!

















Lily Lolo's concealer doesn't have the same sheen the BM one does but i still prefer it overall and think it gives a much less heavily "made up" look while still providing the same awesome coverage. It doesn't have the same tendency to crease as the BM one and looks just like (hate to say it) very well-rested skin.

















While the color is a little lighter (that could totally be remedied by getting the next shade up), the only other thing the Lily Lolo concealer lacks is the SPF20 of the BM one has. For me, this isn't an issue since i always apply SPF underneath my makeup anyway.

I'll definitely be using it in up-coming tutorials so keep an eye out for that!

Share any of your favorite vegan dupes below :)






























One of you requests this almost every day so here you are... my updated makeup collection video!

My previous post about Petit Vour.


Petit Vour is a monthly, vegan, luxury beauty subscription box that i've been receiving for a couple of months now.
Generally i've been too excited to open it up and use everything in it but this month i exercised some restraint and took some unboxing pics for you guys.












Subscriptions are $15 a month and so far i've been really happy with it. I wasn't impressed with Birch Box when i had it but this is much more down my street; i'd rather have fewer products that are a decent sized and vegan rather than 15 tiny samples that get repeated every month.
