My Vellvette Box (March Edition)

Hey everyone!
I know I haven't posted anything in a month but I've been really caught up with exams, fever and a lot of things in between. Exams are still going on but I have a study holiday today :D
I received my Vellvette Box today afternoon (so much for it being a Holi box.. more like a Ugadi Box for me now). I'm really disappointed with my box as well as the Vellvette team efficiency this time. I finally paid for my Feb box as well (there was some sort of mix up and they thought I had a prepaid box). I wrote to the Vellvette team on 31st saying I hadn't received my box yet (because I had been out the day before and they might have come that time.. even if they had- I would've got a call from the delivery guy if no one was there to collect the Box right? It wouldnt've gone back to Mumbai!).. my box was shipped on 3rd (Wednesday) and I received it today. Why wasn't my box shipped in March? :( Anyway, 2 Boxes in my birthday month then, yay! :P

Anyway this is what I got:
Undamaged box.. Yay!



Though it isn't a crucial point, I received just 3 product descriptions, the introductory note and the discount coupon. What happened to the two other products' descriptions? Why the irresponsibility, Vellvette team?

Dream Cream - Lush (10g). Its close to the size of my Maybelline Gel Liner!

The tub was so slippery and difficult to open initially.. I then realized it was because it was leaking from inside and formed a slippery layer on the outside! Nonetheless, it smells good and I've always wanted to try this one so I like it :)

NYX Round Lip Gloss Sparkle. I was initially very excited to try this out but the shade is just plain wrong on me! Don't know how they went wrong with this but gave me the perfect shade of the Anna Andre lipstick!

Remy Laure DNA Beauty Cream. I HATE sachets because you have to finish them all at once and it's so hard to remove the amount of product you want! Arghh! But I'm excited to give this a try.

Ofra Hydrating Whitening Mask. Not really excited to use this but if it's that popular I guess it's worth a try, right?

Anddd I've saved the worst for last. I'm a vegetarian and have no intentions of using this. It would be nice if they had a question regarding whether we are vegetarians or non-vegetarians in the questionnaire because this product is a total waste for me (though if I were a non vegetarian I would've loved to give it a try!)

I'm actually glad Vellvette is giving different brands and not the same brand-different products thing that's been happening these few months! A lot of others got Nyassa and Mary Kay (though I have a feeling I might end up getting it in my next box).

Overall I'm highly disappointed with Vellvette this time. You'd expect an amazing box when they make offers of an extra sample per month! I've subscribed for the 3-month box so hoping the next 2 months are better. Also, it would be great if they sent a message to the recipient a few hours before the box arrives so that we can inform them if we are not at home. I hope Vellvette takes these things into consideration and improves soon!
What did you get in your box? Are you happy with it?

      I agree, but they're facing quite a lot of harsh criticism now so I'm sure they'll work on it and improve their services soon :)
