Unboxing June 2015

It's that time again when I get to unbox my three subs and compare them.

First up, The Test Box June

This month's box focused on protecting coloured hair, and we recieved the following 100ml bottles Paul Mitchel from the colour protect range, 
Shampoo- R75 - mild and gentle enough for daily use and has a nice fresh scent.
Conditioner- R95 - will protect hair against sun damage and detangles at the same time.
Colour Locking Spray- R104 - with sunflower extract locks colour in and protects against the sun.
Total value of this box is R275. 

Next up is the June Beautique Box, I didn't recieved last month's box as Rubybox had a system issue. All Rubies were debited one last time on the 15th and this will be the last boxes Rubybox will be sending out. A pity as they had some nice boxes over the years.


I Received three sample size products and one full in this box
John Frieda Full Repair Root Lift Foam 200ml -R104
Africology anti aging SOD spray 25ml - R100-
Kerastase Elixer K Ultime Sublime Cleansing Shampoo 30ml - R33-
Elizabeth Arden Ceramide lift and firm Day Cream 30ml - R387 
This box did not really impress me compared to past Beautique Boxs total value of this box is R624 I have to add that the Elizabeth Arden full size product is 50ml so a 30ml bottle is very generous. 

This month's Retail box Was the Secret Box 12 and sold for R190 plus R50 for delivery.

The Secret Box 12 had three Full size products from Schwarzkopf BonaCure hair therapy.

Oil Miracle Barbary Fig oil and Keratin Restorative shampoo 200ml - R190- a clear purple shampoo that is very thick and creates a rich creamy lather and the smallest amount goes a very long way. I used a R5 coin size amount and it was way too much. It left my hair clean but not all dry feeling and I could have gotten away without any sort of conditioner. 

Oil Miracle Barbary Fig oil and Keratin Restorative Conditioning Milk 150ml - R190 -
A leave in conditioner for very dry and brittle hair. Just a few sprays is enough as the shampoo does not leave hair striped.  After shampooing, I towel dried my hair and sprayed in four spritzers and then combed out the knots with my basin comb. My hair felt good at this point but I like just a tad more moisture and silkiness to my hair which i achieve with an oil.

Oil Miracle Barbary Fig oil and Keratin Restorative Treatment 100ml - R240 -
A clear and very viscose treatment for dry and brittle hair. After using my basin comb I dispensed two drops to my palm and heated it up by rubbing my hands together and then I run my hands through my hair starting at mid length working down to the ends and then from the scalp using whatever product is still on my hands. I don't like to put and lot of oil near my roots. This oil really made my hair feel great, and price wise it is well worth it. My split ends felt good and my hair was super shiny without build up and didn't look oily at all even after three days. 

I am so hoarding these three products as I love the way they make my hair feel. Total value of this box was R620 that's a huge saving.  The Secret Box is fast becoming a favourite of mine and was definitely my favourite box this month.

Ciao, PHOENIX
