Hey YouTube World, it's me Evelyn. And these are my thoughts about curlBOX Body.
This counts as a #BGBB don't get it twisted. Black Girl Beauty Brand. Boop! [ding]
This box was 25 bucks including shipping.
In the box, there was this Secret Clinical Strength, um, clear gel deodorant. I don't
really too much use aluminum zirconium [struggles to pronounce word] octagloctaly.
I didn't use this at all. The deodorant I do use - Crystal. Hypoallergenic, fragrance
and paraben free. It has no aluminum chlorohydrate.
You know it's real because on the back, it says you must apply this to clean skin. It's
5:30 and you going to a lil' happy hour? Nope! Sure can't use this!
But I've been using it for years, I live in Austin, Texas, and it was fine!
Next up in the box was the OGX argan oil of Morocco miracle in-shower oil. Now the fragrance.
It's kind of nauseating. I'm one of those people who likes to smell like either dessert
or patchouli, like --
Essential oils of the earth, or I like to smell like chocolate cake. I don't really
like perfume smells that much, and so, after using this a couple times, it would fill my
shower and it's hot and steamy...
It would make me-- [gags]. It would give me, like-- [gags]
I do love the bottle. The way it goes on like this. I love this container. As far as the
product itself, this product is made of silicones. The first ingredient is [struggles to pronounce
words] cyclo...tricycle -- girl, I don't know.
I think this, hair serum, and...slip and slide product, on a molecular level they the same thing.
But it do give you a nice sheen though! The only thing I notice when I apply it in the
shower, is that I'm ashy very soon thereafter. And it ain't real. A bottle of grapeseed oil
will cost you what? [shrugs]
The Carol's Daughter Almond Cookie trifecta. I have no complaints about the body wash.
It's sulfate-free, so I did notice that my, um, skin didn't have that squeaky clean, ashy
feeling. You know how you use like a cheap dollar store bodywash cuz you forgot it and
that's all yo Mom had in the guest bathroom, ya feel what I'm saying?
How yo skin be ashy under water?
This did not give me that feeling. My skin felt very moisturized.
I wouldn't buy it again though, and I'll tell you why [stammers] coming up in a little bit.
Then the Carol's Daughter Almond Cookie Shea Souffle. This was great because I don't have
like a water-based lotion or cream product. I use oils, or um, shea butter whips. Those
don't have any moisturizing content.
It's very creamy. It rubs in really nicely. Sometimes it takes forever to rub in, sometimes
it doesn't. And it leave you with a nice sheen. Look that gloss! Ooooh!
First couple ingredients are water, coconut oil, caprilyc triglyceride - which is a form
of coconut oil I think, glycerin, and shea butter. And cetearyl alcohol which is a fatty
alcohol. Good top ingredients. Wouldn't buy this particular one again, and I'll tell you
why in a second.
The almond cookie softening dry oil body spray. Now I much prefer this to this. This is not
real. It's called an in-shower oil, it's not oil. This on the other hand, is oil.
And like, my skin can tell the difference. It has no silicones, no mineral oil, no petroleum.
My skins is just like "yaaaassss!"
It's a very light formula. And it sprays [sprays product] -- Oooh!
Bow! Bow! [sprays product] and when you're wet in the shower, just rub that in! I feel
so greased up and nourished, you feel what I'm sayin'. I feel loved on, I feel cared
for. [chuckles]
It also came with a push top? I don't know if that's what they're called. Push top like
this, which is really helpful so you can decide whether you want to spray it or pour it.
The reason why I can't buy any of these. And probably won't too much utilize them? The
fragrance.
It's giving me cherry almond. [sniffs]
It has a little sweetness to it. Upon using them and putting them on my body! My body
chemistry transformed these products from almond cookie to baby powder.
On my skin, it smells like some Johnson & Johnson. That is so disappointing because I really
enjoyed these products.
I hate the smell of baby powder. Who said babies have to smell like powder? Personally,
I want my baby to smell like frankincense and myrrh. You don't know! Why are you choosing
for me??
[coughs] It's in my throat, you feel what I'm sayi--[coughs]
I need to cut the fan on.
And I saved the best for last. Harlem Soap Shop spearmint and orange bar of soap. This
is what's left of it. This is my absolute favorite product in this curlBOX.
[sniffs] It's giving me Doublemint Twins. [sniffs] It's giving me taking a swig of orange
juice after brushing your teeth.
I never would have thought to put spearmint and orange together. [sniffs]
But it works. My God, it works!
[ding] This is actually a Black Boy Beauty Brand! You can find him at harlemsoap.com.
It is pum-pum safe! You don't wash - you don't need to wash it, but I'm saying the residual
effects of using the soap are fine. No reactions, no burning, nothing. All---
All good! All clear!
There's absolutely no doubt that curlBOX Body is a value. You do save money if you think
about going out and purchasing all these products separately. It is a lot more than the $25
including shipping.
Would I get curlBOX Body again though??
As far as what I'm looking for in a subscription box, I'm looking for products that are usually
out of my price point. Meaning that it's really revolutionary that I get a box with it.
Or I'm looking for indie brands, brands that are accessible to me, but I just have no way
of knowing about them.
So for that reason...
What's gonna happen, is I'm not gon' get the next box, ima see all the pictures of the
second box and it's gon' be poppin', it's gon' be fire, and I'm gon' be mad, I'm gonna
be in my feelings.
FOMO. Fear of missing out. That will make me buy the second curlBOX. I don't know if
I'm gonna buy the next curlBOX Body. If I do, you'll see a first impressions video,
now won't you?
That's it. Hope you enjoyed this video, Hope it was helpful. If you got the curlBOX, let
know your thoughts on it in the comments below, and I will see you on the internet somewhere.
Bye!
Go 'head give you that collar bone! [sprays] Give you---- Ooh! OOOOh!!! DAT COLLAR BONE!!
