The other day when i was online i decided to look into more beauty/hair subscription boxes that are not birchbox, glossybox or latest in beauty boxes as i already get them. I wanted to look for companies that i haven't ever heard off and that is exactly what i found with the Limebox.
The LimeTree hair clinic was founded by Emma Collins. Emma has over 13 years experience, 9 of which were spent working for Toni&Guy where she gained the possition as premier stylist and technical director. There is more information on Emma and her wonderful career with Toni&Guy on the website linked here.
After reading that this company was founded by a professional hair stylist i was very excited to try it out. The box for a one off month is £20 plus p+p and takes around a week to arrive (The one i ordered is Limebox plan A). Prices vary when you order different packages, such as Limebox plan B is £60 plus p+p thats a 3 month subscription, Limebox plan C is £110 plus p+p for a 6 month plan and Limebox plan D is £220 plus p+p for 12 months worth of subscription. When you see the prices they do frighten you a little bit but once broken down the 12month plan is effectivly only £18 per month, and if you ladies (& men) are like me then you'll spend much more than only £18 per month on hair products so in all fairness the price is very well justified if you look at it that way.
Just to add, after i placed my order i thought it was lovely that i got an email from Emma asking me for my hair type, length, colour, wether it was thick or fine, if my hair was chemically treated and the condition of my hair. No other company i have ever ordered from has ever asked so many questions to get a good idea on the products that will be best suited to my hair and it's needs.
Now lets get on to what i got in my box...
When i received my box the first thing i said was oh my it's heavy, that's always a good sign! The Limebox it's self is a lovely white box with a magnet fastening (definitely a box that i will get a lot of re-use from). When you open it up the first thing that i saw was a little handwritten note saying thank you for my order, another little detail within the whole Limebox process that makes the box feel as though someone has actually taken the time to personally pick, pack and send your order out to you. Plus in my opinion a hand written note to me is much nicer and more friendly than a typed one.
The theme of this months box 'June 2014' is Color Lover. The products contained within my box will protect colour fade, repair damage, fix frizz, give body, mend ends, detangle, give thermal gaurd and give a silky shiny appearance according to the paper information.
So when i opened my box there was bright lime green tissue paper and a lime sticker holding it closed, the shreaded paper inside is also bright lime green! Can i just say the first thing i noticed when i opened the actual box was the yummy smell that came from out of the tissue paper!
In side i recieved 3 full sized products all of which i am very happy with and excited to try out the new brands.
First 2 things i got are a duo of shampoo and conditioner from the brand British Hair. I got the ample volume shampoo and conditioner and these smell delicious! They both help colour preserving, they add nourishment, are paraben free, strengthen hair, promote volume and many more things too. These are full size at 237ml, the shampoo retails for £10.25 and the conditioner £11.25
The 3rd product in my box is the Framesi Color Lover Hair Primer 11. This product benefits your hair in 11 ways it retains colour, damage repair, silky & shiny, fixes frizz, gives body, mends ends, detangles, style support, no static, thermal gaurd and is weightless in your hair! I'm really looking forward to trying this product out, if it does everything it says it does then i won't need half of my other hair products! This spray also smells gorgeous! It says to spray it onto damp hair after shampooing and conditioning and then style as normal. This is also,full size at 125ml amd it retails at £10.40.
All in all i am 110% happy with this months box, the products sent are all the types of things i need for my hair. I will update you all on how i get on with the products, we all know that so many things sound good but don't live up to what they claim to do so only time will tell!
Thank you all for reading, i'm now away to wash my hair with my new goodies.
