April 2021 Boxwalla Box featuring Twelve Beauty

Hi Fam!

I received my Boxwalla Box for the month of April and wanted to share my thoughts on it! If you don’t know, Boxwalla is a subscription based company that sends out Beauty Boxes every other month. They have other options like book subscriptions, etc.

I have tried one product from Twelve Beauty before which is the brand’s Lip Oil! I loved the packaging and the ingredients but thought I’d wait to try more from the brand as I knew this box was being released.

Twelve Beauty is a Spanish brand and aims to combine the potency of nature with skin-safe science. The founder comes has a combined background in pharmacy, botany, and cosmetology. The brand is especially known for creating products for folks with sensitive, reactive, and stressed out skin.

This month’s box includes two products a the price of $49.95, while the actual retail is $287 (which is a lot)!

The first product is the Twelve Beauty Intelligent Frontier Oil- 1oz (retail value @ $215).

  • This is a lightweight Oil, which absorbs pretty fast, but is really soothing an has antioxidant properties
  • It’s been known to help with repairing the skin’s barrier
  • The oil is made in a base of Meadowfoam and Sacha Inchi Oils
  • The scent is very very mild, and almost undetectable and whenever I put this on my skin, it feels nourished

The second product is the Twelve Beauty Nutritive Repair Emulsion (retail value @ $72)

  • This has a semi-matte finish, and is truly a quick absorbing cream
  • The cream is great for soothing sensitive skin that is stressed out
  • Has ingredients like Spelt Grain Wax, Shea Butter Extract, Glycerin
  • Has a slight medicinal scent

Overall, I don’t know what I was expecting with this box, but it has helped heal my skin in so many ways. I was dealing with extremely dry skin due to the allergies here in CA, and my skin felt really tight no matter how many hydrating products I added and how much I exfoliated. Then, this box got delivered to my doorstep last week and I added these products into my rotation immediately, and I noticed a HUGE difference the next day itself in terms of dryness.

I have a feeling it’s the moisturizer that’s doing the trick, as I have been using it everyday. This has truly been a surprise for me, because I don’t like semi-matte moisturizers and prefer more dewy ones! And, I never thought it would do much for me.

It’s a great time to treat yourself to this box, as I think this past year has definitely taken a toll on our skin!

Today is the last day to subscribe to this box, and if you can get your hands on it, I would highly recommend it! Here is the link if you are interested : https://www.theboxwalla.com/product/beauty-box/.
