We Are Onyx ONYXBOX July 2016 Subscription Box Review

OnyxBox from We Are Onyx delivers 5 deluxe-size or full size hair, skin, make up and lifestyle products curated for Women of Color from high-end brands from around the world for only $25 a month.

The card included tells a little about the theme of the box as well as how to connect via social media. This months box features travel friendly goodies.

Neatly packaged, like always!

Creme of Nature Acai Berry & Keratin Strengthening Hair Masque in 1.75 oz is available on the retailers website, however, I could not locate a price for this product. This is for dry and/or damaged hair and really helped to rid my hair of the chlorine that has been clinging to it since I’ve been doing a lot of swimming this summer. The scent is amazing, more like something you’d eat then an awesome hair product.

True Moringa Lavender Facial Oil, sample sized 2ml ($1.73). Per their website this is normally sold in a 1oz bottle for $26.

Lavender is my favorite scent, much to the disappointment of my husband, so I was extremely excited to try this oil. I will start off by saying the scent was subtle and beautiful, however, this was not a great product for my skin tone. I have pretty oily skin anyways and adding this facial oil made for an overly greasy morning.

Urban Skin Rx Even Tone Cleansing Bar ($7.50) there was no scent prior to the addition of water, which I liked because it didn’t feel like I was using the product just because it smells good. Once adding water there was a slight medicinal smell but it wasn’t unpleasant. I liked that this cleansing bar suds up a lot and it left my face feeling clean but not dry in the slightest.

Fro Butter with Emu Oil for hair growth, travel size retails for $7. I was a little apprehensive about using a product that includes the oil of an animal, once I put that out of my mind I was super surprised at how nice this stuff is! The smell is very fresh and clean. I did read some of the reviews and found that many customers did see their hair grow faster, I’m exited to give it a go. And the really nice feature of this product is that a little goes a long way. Seems like it would be wallet friendly.

Fro Butter with Jamaican Black Castor Oil Hair Thickener, travel size retails for $7. This smells just as good as the previous product. Goes on smooth and is easily applied to hair and scalp. I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be more like a lotion but because it sat in a 100+ degrees that it’s more like an oil. I am hoping that it does what it says and thickens hair in balding areas, as it could be a great product for both the males and females in my house.

Cantu Shea Butter Mositurizing Curl Activator Cream, 3 oz bottle. Not only does it smell like summer, shea butter, but it works great too. It gave my hair shine and defined my curls without the crunch of other products. It even perked up my hat hair and that is no easy feat.

Lauren B Nail Growth Serum, 2.2g retails for $75. This is the product I was most excited to try as I have struggled with weak, brittle nails for years. There is no foul smell that is normally associated with nail products and it goes on just like nail polish. And yes, this is the full size!

Once again We Are Onyx hits it out of the ball park with great quality for the price, roughly $89 value. Normally this subscription does not have a lot of other offers but this month they included an offer for camelliasandcurls.com as well as gift card for thebetterskinco.com. I’m eager to check out both websites because I have really fallen in love with the quality products that are represented and know what I will not be steered in the wrong direction.
