I was introduced to Vanity Trove, a beauty box by my blog-sphere friend, Choi Yen. I also got tempted to give it a try by subscribing one on monthly basis. Then I thought choosing Vanity Trove would be a wise choice since they featured more brands.
However after subscribing it, I saw people blogged about the March edition. Majority of them were quite disappointed with the content that they’ve received for that particular month’s box. Then I began to worry about the April edition which I’ve just subscribed.
Received my Vanity Trove box few days later than my friends. So many of them posted photo about their box….so, no longer a surprise to me edi lor….But its okay la…I’m happy to see people felt satisfied and happy with the April edition. So am I. Waited eagerly for mine to arrive. Still happily opening the box. LOL!!
Ohh ya…Valerie from Beauty Box is very nice to reply my queries promptly about my payment and all. ^^
Theme for Vanity Trove April Edition is The Shower of Summer.
As usual, the contents are nicely placed in a good quality box. And its nicely wrapped with plastic too.
Hurmm…let me study the contents. A one page leftlet were included in the box…giving a brief information about the products that we’ve received. Urm..Arm…Urmm…Arm…OK. Done reading. But not memorized :-p
Look…An eye shadow from Kate. Nicely nestled in the box 😉
I am happy to receive an eye shadow by Kate. Been liking Kate’s eye shadow all this while. Because it has nice shimmering effect. I assumed eye shadow is a gal’s favorite. “Strawberry Shortcake” agreed on that too. *later I help you apply kay* :-p
I received this earth tone. Suitable for every occasions. Easy application.
Kate Eyeshadow DB (RM 49 for 1.6g)
5 sachets of Clarins Intensive Bright Serum and a 50% discount gift voucher on any face or body treatment at Clarins Skin Spa KLCC. I’ve tried using the 1st sachet. I like its texture, not sticky tough. It absorbs very quick leaving my face smooth and supple. Moreover it has nice scent but not strong. A sachet is able to use up to 3 applications (myself)
For the gift voucher…I dunno when only I will use it. Anybody wants it? I don’t mind giving out. By post express kay….hehe….
Clarins Intensive Bright Serum RM295 (30ml)
3 sachets of Gemstone Nano Platinum Aqua Watery Cream by Oriks. Honestly…this is the first time I’m hearing this brand :-p
Gemstone Nano Platinum Aqua Watery Cream by Oriks is developed in France, product of Korea. A moisturizer that smoothens wrinkles, tightens pores and brighten your complexion. It contains more than 90 types of natural minerals to boost skin vitality and protect your skin from harsh environmental stressors. Expensive brand huh.
I’ve tried the first sachet. The cream texture is abit oily. Can’t apply too much, because I have oily T-zone.
Oriks Gemstone Nano Platinum Aqua Water Cream-RM 398 (50g)
Woah….pretty nail wrap by Perkins. I saw people getting different designs. Ya…they are total 21 designs. Mine is with floral prints with a thin glitter strip. Feminine cum vintage. I like! But I sayang to use it..Gonna pick an auspicious day for this. LOL!
Perkins Nail Wrap is a product of Korea. It is a transparent nail wrap base that allows fuss-free sticking and creative mix and match with its wide range designs and colors.
Above is the demo on how to use the nail wrap ^_^
Perkins Nail Wrap- RM39.90 (20 Strips)
A miniature perfume….easily for me to place this in my bag (wristlet) when I go out. However I don’t quite like the fragrant. Felt that the scent is abit strong and mature type. I actually was expecting to receive Issey Miyake’s T_T
Narciso Rodriguez For Her (EDT)-RM278 (50ml) & RM378 (100ml)
Ohh…there’s an additional stuff in the box.A piece of Licorice & Job’s Tear Whitening Mask by KilaDoll.
I like using sheet masks…simply because they are convenient. After using then buang. LOL! BTW…this sheet mask is very cooling and your skin feel supple after that.
Conclusion : This month’s box is alot better from previous month’s..there are 2 full size items in it which cost more than the subscription fee. I also love trying Clarins product
Vanity Trove has now reduced the subscription fee to RM50. Which I previously subscribe this box for RM60. So, now got discount RM10 la hor…YAY!

(Random photo of the day). Today’s quote: “There are three things life brings us: tears, smiles and memories. Tears gets wipe away. A smile fades away. But memories last a lifetime”
oooo, it would actually be a mystery for me to figure out how to use the contents of this box. i had never known or heard about nail wraps before, so the video is quite educational! 😀
Sean – LOL! Its okay…Now you can know them 😉
Yeap…becos I wasn’t quite sure on how to use the nail wrap either. haha
Ohey! Would you look at that, I’m a Melissa, too 😀 Haha! How you doin?
oh so you succumbed 😉
this month’s Vanity Trove seems more sincere, with full-sized products…
Constance Ant – Ya…probably they are aware that many unsatisfactory on last month’s box.
Love your quotation at the end. That’s why it is up to us to make things happen – make memories to cherish a lifetime.
Thanks STP. But we human tend to forget hw important to cherish everything.
Another goods selection of goodies! I tried using a nail wrap but was so clumsy that it looked terrible on my left hand and perfect on my right hand. …I am technically a right hander. LOL.
I am also a right handed person. But the video above look as though its very simple hoh.
These nail wraps are not easy to apply neatly I think. I’m giving mine away anyway since I prefer clean nails. I think we got the same colours for eyeshadows. I love Kate’s products. Agree with the oily Oriks cream too.
I also rarely apply nail polish. Unless there is any special occasion.
That Oriks cream is not suitable to u also?
I think most people find it too oily. My face looks so shiny afterwards.
So proud to be partner in crime for each others, LOL
Muahahaha! Ya…right
