My Envy Box, May edition, knocking my door.
May in Bloom |
Orchards are fair; Branches of fruit trees Make gardens of air. Flowers of fragrance Bloom in the light; Fall like the snowflakes Showering white. Orchards of heaven Grow with a grace, And like a blessing Perfume the place. Each tree in blossom, Each lovely spray, In this month of Our Lady, Bring glory to May. Helen Maring The Magnificat. Volume LXVIII. Number 1. May 1941 
Hey guys, May is here bringing in scorching heat, that means extra care for your skin and hair. This is when we wish for a relaxing spa. My envy box has come up with Spa edition in a lovely green box, the color, which I found very refreshing. The box consists of 5 samples of Vana Vidhi. To be honest I have never heard of Vana Vidhi, hence I further looked it up on the net. I could not find much about the brand, but it says that it is a luxury ayurvedic brand which is a complete natural bath and body product. It is also vegan and hence not tested on animals.The products are also completely parabens free, sulphates free and has no added colors.
 Contents of the box:
The Vana Vidhi samples in the box are Darjeeling Green Tea Luxe Summer Spa products. The miniatures are each 40 ml, well they again remind me of my hotel stays, where the toiletries were something I looked forward to. Not all hotels had quality stuff but I did get some amazing ones from few luxury hotels. The 5 samples in the box are as follows:
Green Tea Natural Face Wash: 40 ml. 115 ml costs Rs1899/-
Aloe Vera and Green Tea Body Wash: 40 ml. 200 ml costs Rs1899/-
Green Tea Shampoo: 40 ml.115 ml costs Rs1500/-
Green Tea Hair Conditioner: 40 ml. 115 ml costs Rs1599/-
Green Tea Natural Moisturizing Body Lotion: 40 ml. 115 ml costs Rs1500/-
Darjeeling Forest Incense Sticks:2 sticks. 12 sticks cost Rs399/-
I tried the products before writing the review, so here is my take on my first Envy Box:
Green Tea Shampoo and Hair Conditioner: 40 ml is too less a quantity. I finished the miniature conditioner in just 2 wash. I have almost long and thick hair, hence I use a lot of conditioner. Shampoo may last me for 3 hair wash, not more than that. Both shampoo and conditioner could not play any magic on my hair and left my hair dry and wry. So its a thumbs down from me. I am never gonna use it.,NEVER.
Green Tea Natural Face Wash: I like the face wash. It left my face refreshingly clean, soft and subtle. The sample might last for 2 weeks.
Aloe Vera and Green Tea Body Wash: The body wash was as good as the face wash but like me, if you are looking for lingering fragrances on your skin after shower then these products are not for you.
Green Tea Natural Moisturizing Lotion: The lotion is the winner of the lot for me. It absorbs easily in to the skin without any stickiness. Though I might keep it in my hand bag as hand cream coz of its size.
I am not into incense sticks, so I just put them away.
I don't think am making anyone green with envy with the box. I was actually hopping for some makeup products in this month's envy box like the April box, was a tad bit disappointed with this month's products. Then I kicked the teenager out of me and instantly felt better coz the products are luxury ayurvedic products and is a must try at least once. Personally I am not a sucker for ayurvedic products but I do try them once in a while. I feel life is too short to take yourself or your skin too seriously. For me which ever skin or hair products does the job, I keep them. You can subscribe to My Envy Box here.
I have read such good reviews about My Envy Box that I went ahead and took a 3 months subscription. My sister tried the April box and she quite liked it.
P.S. For the summers keep hydrating yourself and do not venture out without a sunblock and shades!
