I recently received my very first Vellvette Box and to tell you the truth, I was definitely impressed with the box. Yes, I know what you all are thinking - Not another box! and to tell you the truth, the same thought had crossed my mind too.
Last year many companies had launched their own versions of the extremely famous and popular Birch Box in India. However, these companies managed to send out one single box to all the subscribers and then seem to vanish from the face of the Earth without even a word. So, when I came across the Vellvette Box through a Facebook ad, I was little apprehensive and skeptical about the box and decided to do some digging.
Being a brand new company, I obviously didn't find any reviews on the box any where online, but when I did a little more digging on their website, I found out the price of the box, which was Rs 399 for 3 luxurious products, which seemed decent enough. However, what attracted me the most that they had a Cash-on-Delivery option and that got me interested. So, I decided to order the September box and immediately registered for it. Vellvette has various subscription options, such as 1 month (Rs 399), 3 months (Rs 1099) and an annual subscription where you get 16 percent discount. While registering I had to enter my preferences for cosmetics and beauty products so that they could customize my box and send it to me. Just before they had shipped my box, I had received a call from the company, as well as, a mail stating that the box had been shipped and would reach me withing four days time and it did!
I was really excited to receive my Vellvette Box and they definitely did not disappoint. It arrived in a cute black box wrapped in a pink ribbon with the company's logo on the box. (Very elegant, I should say.)

In the box, I received the following goodies:
- L'occitane Lavender Hand Sanitiser
- Clarins Gentle Refiner Exfoliating cream
- Clinique Raspberry glaze lipstick and Fireberry Lipgloss
- J Del Pozo Ambar perfume
Since, it was the company's first ever box, they had also sent across the perfume sample as a fourth product. (Yippee!!!!) Except for the L'occitane hand sanitizer, all the other products are sample sizes. The box also came with description cards for all the products sent in the box and also discount coupons for each product, which can be used on Vellvette's own website to purchase the actual size products if you like them.

My Experience
I am definitely impressed with the Vellvette Box! The box gives you three luxurious cosmetic and beauty products at an affordable price of Rs 399. Not only is it affordable, but the quantity is great too. I hope this box stays around longer than the other boxes as it is definitely is a great way to try out new products. I just had one small issue with the box, since I am not a keen lipstick user, I would prefer the company at least ask me for a preference in shade before sending the box across to me. I wouldn't want a colour that I don't wear to come in my surprise box the next time.
Overall verdict:
I love the box and have already placed an order for the next box! Will try it out for a few months and depending on the service and products send, I will then decide to go for an annual subscription.
Have you tried the Vellvette Box? What is your verdict about it?
