I wish it didn’t take me so long to get to this Petit Vour January 2016 Box Review, but life has been busy this month, so here it is finally! This is by far my favorite PV box. I just love the basic, simple, and few-ingredients products in this box. And the tiny jars, oh, the tiny jars obsession!

S.W. Basic Cream

I saw this cream in a few Petit Vour January Box spoilers and couldn’t wait to get my hands on it! I’m obsessed with cute little jars, not only because they’re convenient to carry around with you or store in your nightstand, but also because you can use them to store various tiny items.

This cream is fabulously simple because it only has 3 (yes, 3!) ingredients: Shea Butter, Coconut Oil and Olive Oil. Less is definitely more when it comes to skincare. The Shea Butter used is this cream is wild-harvested in Ghana. I love love LOVE Fair Trade products and what they stand for!

Basic Cream is very rich and moisturizing. It left my skin feeling baby-soft for a long time. I love to put it on my elbows and other dry areas for that extra moisturizing care. You could also use this cream on your face, but my face doesn’t do good with rich creams, so I’m not risking it.

Kaia Naturals Bamboo Tapioca Beads

This is a powder cleanser that you activate by adding water or cleansing oils to it. It is very gentle and can be used daily to remove makeup and cleanse your face. This exfoliating powder formula is made from 100% natural ingredients (coconut, chickpeas, clay and tapioca). Tapioca absorbs all the extra oil, while the deep cleansing clay clears your pores.

My skin has become quite sensitive, but this powder works perfectly without any irritation. After massaging the wet powder into my face, I leave it on as a mask for 5-10 minutes. My face feels softer and very smooth afterwards.

The only thing that I didn’t like about this cleanser is the strong chalky smell. But it does make my skin softer and smoother, so it’s a little price to pay for the great results.

French Girl Organics Rose Lip Polish

I’ll admit it, I don’t feel like paying a high price for a lip scrub product because it’s there for a few seconds until it’s literally going down the drain. But I am definitely not saying they don’t make any difference. I love how well this lip polish exfoliates the delicate lips skin while leaving it moisturized and super soft. It is perfect for winter months when the air is drier and your lips need a little extra love.

This lip polish is filled with quality ingredients such as Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, Cocoa Butter, Rosehip Oil, Peppermint and Sea Buckthorn Oils, as well as plant waxes and essential oils.

This product is perfect for prepping your lips for your favorite lipstick or for a French Kiss =)

Evelyn Iona Natural & Organic Gel Eyeliner and Wooden Liner Brush

When it comes to makeup, my ritual is very simple: eyeliner! So this natural gel liner got me super excited. I ran to try it out first thing after I opened this box. How could I resist the cutest tiny jar?! It’d be perfect for travel or those on-the-go days.

This liner came with a simple wooden liner brush, but you can use whatever brush your normally use. The sharp tip of this brush gave me enough control to produce a simple thin line. The gel liner applied smoothly and looked very natural. I can see it being used for a smoky-eye look if you blend it a little. I had a busy day at school that day, and the liner stayed on without smudging or fading on a humid Seattle day.

The best part is the ingredients of this liner: infused with Grape oil, Castor Oil (hello eyelash growth!), Candelilla wax, Oregano and Vitamin E , this liner doesn’t dry out on your lids and promotes beautiful eyelids skin and longer lashes.
