My first curlBox!

I was completely ecstatic when I came home and saw that my mail lady had left a package for me a couple of weeks ago.  I would've posted sooner about it, but I wanted to review the products first.

For those of you who don't know what the curlBox is.  It is a monthly subscription service that sends you about 5 product samples in the mail designed specifically for curly, wavy, and kinky hair.  It is a perfect way to sample products before you buy.  It is an addiction, and it is a box full of joy!

So, here's my unveiling:

I would curse the mail service, but their under fire right now. Plus, they aren't the only one's who jack up boxes!

The   opening:

Oh my...what's that on top??

My box!!

Oh! USPS!!

Open up:

Twisted Sista Curl Activator, Nothing But Cleansing Conditioner, Curl Sealer, and Pure Pudding, Palmer's Olive Oil Formula deep conditioner

So, I have already tried all of the products in the August edition of the curlBox.  And here's my review.  For, the smaller samples I received, I first tried the Palmer's Olive Oil.  There was so much product in this sample if I wanted I could have had 2 applications.  But, I loved this deep conditioner!  It only had to stay on for 5 minutes, and my hair felt extremely soft post-rinse.  Palmer's your grade is A!

I next tried the Nothing But Cleansing Conditioner, Curl Sealer, and Pudding.  Ok, at first, the smell of the cleansing conditioner was  a little strange, but I quickly got over it.  It smelled kind of like detergent.  And, it was nice.  My hair was clean and still soft when it was all over.  Then, I used the pudding first and applied the curl sealer second.  That was when the smell overwhelmed me!  I was very close to gagging!  I could barely get through putting it on my hair.  Then, I had to smell it as my hair dried.  Awful!  Then, the product didn't really do much for my hair.  It looked greasy.  F!!!!

The last thing I tried was the Twisted Sista Curl Activator.  The sample was too small for the amount of hair I have.  But, for the part I used it on, I could tell my hair was curly.  The thing I didn't like, however, was the fact that it separated my curls and made my hair kind of 'poofy'.  So, I'm going to put this one in the middle at a C.  Maybe I will try it again or maybe not.


The two full size products I received with review:

Cantu Shea Butter Coconut Curling Creme

Review:  Delightful!  The smell is divine!  Coconut is always a favorite.  It works well also.  It brings out my natural curl pattern while keeping my hair moisturized. A+









The last product, and my most favorite!

Carol's Daughter Hair Milk Pudding

Ms Lisa Price knows what she's doing.  This pudding really brought out my curls.  They were extremely defined, and I got compliments on it all night at work.  A+++

 curlBox = completely sauced!  Can't wait for my next one!!
