I can't believe October is here. Wasn't it just March? The October Boxwalla Beauty box is here and it features one of my all time favorite brands-Naturallogic. I've talked about Naturallogic on here multiple times. This box actually features two of my favorites from the brand. Elemental Advanced Hydration Red Wine Essence is utterly divine and if you like essences or light hydrating layers you need to try it. I actually am so close to polishing off my first bottle I bought when this launched so this box couldn't have come at a better time. It has a light gel liquid essence texture that hydrates & sinks in well. It's got red wine (hello love this idea for AHAs & antioxidants), hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, panthenol and red algae. I love the minimal glass packaging with the pump applicator. I had no problem happily finishing this essence so I most definitely loved it. It's unique, hydrating & plumping and one I would definitely repurchase.
I'm not a huge wash off mask user but one of my favorites from Naturallogic is Unmask. It's such a unique mask. It has a fun jiggly gel texture. This is unique as it not only hydrates but it detoxes with activated charcoal. It also has niacinamide, MSM, castor bean oil, aloe, AHA complex (sugar cane extract), chamomile, willow bark and a few essential oils. Now yes it has essential oils but Naturallogic does them well. This is mostly citrus with some lemongrass and clove. The scent is light and not really strong. What I love about this charcoal mask is that it actually never dries down. It is actually hydrating. So this is the only charcoal mask I have in my cabinet honestly. All others were kicked out once I found this one. I just love the lightweight hydrating gel texture plus it's unique. You can see how light it is in texture in the swatch above. I can see why this won a Beauty Shortlist Award.
Lastly in this box is new to me brand Fine Cosmetic. I love the overall aesthetic of this brand. The Daytime Radiance Eye Serum has a super light gel serum texture that absorbs quickly. It's supposed to help with reducing crow's feet, dark circles, de-puffing and firming. It has witch hazel water, lactobacillus ferment, sea water, Persian silk tree extract, niacinamide, sodium hyaluronate, panthenol, ashwagandha, grape leaf & elderberry extracts. Persian silk tree helps tighten and protect the skin from glycation. I love the idea of this in an eye product. It's also got sodium hyaluronate, soothing panthenol and ashwagandha which is an adaptogen (soothing and calming).
So honestly this seemed great, liked the idea of it but it does dry my eye area out. I notice they got drier after I started using it, then I switched to using this on one eye only and the dryness continued on that side but not the other side I quit using it on. That usually tells me when a product doesn't work for me. Keep in mind I have super dry under eyes. There are a lot of products that don't work for me that work for others just fine. I find them drying in the eye area but many don't. I'm kind of sad as I really wanted to try the Persian silk tree more. I'm not sure if it was the witch hazel or not. If you don't have really dry under eyes you'll probably be fine with this.
This box has a $181 value and you get it for $49.95 when you subscribe. The two Naturallogic products alone are well worth getting this box. And maybe you'll get a new eye serum out of it if you don't have super dry under eyes like me. Subscribe HERE.
