Hello, ladies!
Ca multe dintre voi, am fost curioasa de conceptul Pink Box, un remake al mult mai celebrului Birch Box de care se bucura fetele din America, din UK, Franta si Spania, dar si al originalului Pink Box din Germania. La inceputul acestei luni am primit cea de-a doua cutie, pentru luna mai.
Am citit tot felul de pareri pro si contra vis-a-vis de acest gen de promovare si m-am decis la Pink Box, probabil si pentru ca avea cele mai multe review-uri pozitive si pentru ca mi-a placut in general ce au continut cutiile din lunile trecute. Cand am primit prima cutie, cea din aprilie, am fost placut impresionata de cutie in sine, frumos colorata si rezistanta, numai buna de folosit drept cutie de depozitare, astfel ca macar pentru cutie, pot spune ca a meritat banii.
Like many of you, I was curious about the Pink Box concept, a remake of the more famous Birch Box that girls from America, UK, France and Spain enjoy, but also of the original Pink Box from Germany. At the beginning of this month I received the second box, for May.
I've read all kind of pros and cons about this type of promotion and I decided to try Pink Box, maybe because it had the most positive reviews and because I generally liked the contains of previous boxes. When I received the first box, for April, I was impressed by the box itself, colored and resistant, perfect for keeping all kind of things, so at least for the box, it deserved the money.
Nici continutul nu mi-a displacut, mai ales ca tot ce am primit imi este folositor : un kit de sprancene de la ELF Studio exact ca cel pe care il folosesc, apa minerala pentru fata de la Elmiplant, ii voi face un review cat de curand, un mini lac de unghii LA Colors in culoarea corai, un ulei de fata mini-size cu extract de trandafir de la Mario Badescu, un pateu din soia si niste mostre de la Kerastase, precum si niste vouchere cu reduceri. All in all, si-a meritat banii, cu toate ca nu vad rostul acelui pateu, astfel ca am zis sa mai incerc si in luna mai.
I didn't hate the content either, more because all I received it's useful : an eyebrow kit from ELF Studio just like the one I'm using, a face mineral water from Elmiplant, I'll review it in the near future, a mini nail polish from LA Colors in nice coral color, mini-size face oil with roses extract from Mario Badescu, a soya foie gras and some samples from Kerastase, and some discount vouchers.
Cutia pentru mai mi-a placut si mai mult, recunosc, pentru ca imi da ocazia sa incerc cateva produse pe care chiar le doream. Asa arata continutul cutiei:
I like the May Box even more, I admit, because it gives me the opportunity of trying some products that I really wanted. So this is the content:
First of all, this box contains 5 products, without other samples, 4 in full-size and 1 in mini-size : a thermal water Herculane from Ivatherm, a lip balm from Ivatherm, a body lotion from Sabon, a day nourishing skin cream from Himalaya and a hyaluronic cream for wrinkles from Thalgo.
Cel mai mult ma incanta apa termala de la Ivatherm, de mult vroiam sa o incerc. O sa urmeze un review cat de curand. Pentru moment, va pot spune ca pielea ramane catifelata dupa ce se usuca si este foarte racoritoare, perfecta pentru vara.
I'm mostly interested in the thermal water from Ivatherm, I wanted to try it for some time. A review is coming as soon as possible. For now, I can tell you the the skin remains velvety after it dries out and it's very fresh, perfect for the summer.
Tot de la Ivatherm am primit un balsam de buze nutritiv si reparator. Este incolor, nu este foarte lipicios si are o aroma subtila de citrice. Ca rezistenta, nu va pot spune, pentru ca doar l-am incercat. Nu ma omor insa dupa aplicatorul rotund, se va murdari si in plus nu este foarte igienic.
Also from Ivatherm I received a nourishing and repairing lip balm. It's clair, it's not very sticky and it has a citrus flavour. I can't tell you if it's resistant or not, because I just tried it. I'm not very happy though with the round head applicator, it'll become very dirty and it's not very hygenic.

Cutia pentru mai mi-a placut si mai mult, recunosc, pentru ca imi da ocazia sa incerc cateva produse pe care chiar le doream. Asa arata continutul cutiei:
I like the May Box even more, I admit, because it gives me the opportunity of trying some products that I really wanted. So this is the content:
In primul rand, acest box contine 5 produse, fara alte mostre, 4 in varianta full-size si 1 mini-size: o apa termala Herculane de la Ivatherm, un lip balm de la Ivatherm, o lotiune de corp de la Sabon, o crema de zi hidratanta de la Himalaya si o crema hialuronica pentru riduri de la Thalgo.

Tot de la Ivatherm am primit un balsam de buze nutritiv si reparator. Este incolor, nu este foarte lipicios si are o aroma subtila de citrice. Ca rezistenta, nu va pot spune, pentru ca doar l-am incercat. Nu ma omor insa dupa aplicatorul rotund, se va murdari si in plus nu este foarte igienic.
Also from Ivatherm I received a nourishing and repairing lip balm. It's clair, it's not very sticky and it has a citrus flavour. I can't tell you if it's resistant or not, because I just tried it. I'm not very happy though with the round head applicator, it'll become very dirty and it's not very hygenic.
De mult ma gandeam sa incerc un produs de la Sabon si iata ca o pot face acum, cu lotiunea de corp cu ulei de masline si de avocado si aroma de Patchouli, Lavander si Vanilla. Nu contine parabeni si nici uleiuri minerale. La prima incercare, pot sa va spun ca m-a lovit mirosul foarte puternic si dulce, nu gluma. Chiar si la cateva ore de la aplicare pe piele se simtea destul de tare. Nu imi plac lotiunile de corp cu parfum puternic si dulce, dar o sa-i dau o sansa pentru ca intre rapid in piele si lasa pielea foarte catifelata.
I was thinking for some time to try something from Sabon and here I can do it, with the body lotion with olive oil and avocado oil and Patchouli, Lavander and Vanilla flavour. It doesn't contain parabens and mineral oils. From the first test, I can tell you that the very strong and sweet perfum hit me hard. Even after a couple of hours after applying it, I could still feel it. I don'y usually enjoy body lotions with heavy and sweet perfum, but I'll give it a try, as it's absorbed quickly into the skin and it leaves it really velvety.
In cutie mai era si o crema de fata hranitoare pentru zi de la Himalaya. Are un miros puternic de plante si intra usor in piele. Ii voi face un review peste putin timp.
In the box I found also a nourishing day cream from Himalaya. It has a strong herbal smell and it's quickly absorbed into the skin. I'll write a review in the near future.
Ultimul produs este o mini crema hialuronica pentru riduri pronuntate de la Thalgo. Pe aceasta nu am testat-o, i-o voi face cadou mamei, pentru ca nu este un produs care mi se adreseaza, mai degraba este destinat tenului la +35 ani.
The last product is a mini hyaluronic crem for deep wrinkles from Thalgo. I haven't tested it, i'l give it to my mother, because it's not a product that adresses me, it's mostly appropriate for the skin at + 35 years.
Pe langa acestea sunt si cartonase cu descrierea si pretul real al fiecarui produs. Per ansamblu, m-am bucurat de continutul cutiei de mai, pentru ca sunt lucruri folositoare si destul de variate. Apreciez in primul rand promovarea brandului romanesc Ivatherm si a apelor termale de la Baile Herculane, dar si includerea unui produs din gama Himalaya, brand cunoscut la nivel international, dar prea putin la noi, produsele regasindu-se preponderent in magazinele cu produse naturiste.
As vrea sa vad totusi pe viitor o dezvoltare mai aprofundata a modului in care Pink Box se preocupa de clienti, si anume posibilitatea crearii unui profil in care sa se poata specifica detalii importante ca : tip de par, tip de piele, alergii etc., cum se intampla in cazul Birch Box. Ideea e tocmai ca cei care cumpara Pink Box sa poata sa testeze produse care chiar li se potrivesc.
There are also some cartons with the description and the real price of each product. All in all, I enjoyed the content of May box, because there are useful things and pretty versatiles. First of all, I appreciate the promotion of Romanian brand Ivatherm and the thermal waters from Herculane Bay, but also the including of a product from Himalaya, an internation brand, little known in Romania, as the products can be found especially in the natural product stores.
I would like to see in the future a more profound developpement of the way Pink Box sees the clients, by giving the possibility of creating a profile that can specify important details as : type of hair, type of skin, allergies etc., as in the case of Birch Box. The idea is that those that buy Pink Box to test the products that really suits them.
