Hand picked from the influential beauty scene in the ever trendy London and sharing its luxe contents with the rest of the world, MINTD Box* offers monthly or bi-monthly delivery options of the latest, most sought after prestigious skincare products. Because how many times have you signed up for a ‘beauty box’ only to receive filler items like water bottles or bluetooth speakers? Like, what do you even do with a bluetooth speaker?
My connection to subscription boxes goes back to the beginning of… subscription boxes really. You see, when my husband and I lived in Manhattan, our upstairs neighbor actually shared office space with a small startup known as, are you ready for this one? Birchbox. Yes, I even started with the OG.
My Ex-Box stories…
Of course, I greeted MINTD initially with healthy skepticism. When the January box arrived, however, it was like Christmas all over again. If you’ve been burned by beauty subscriptions before, I feel you. Over the last decade, I’ve done them all-the budget friendly and those at the high-end. Exhausted and unimpressed, I threw in the towel and cancelled every single one.
The Key Difference.
Curated to perfection, MINTD focuses on trends, innovation, and beauty industry newness. The biggest draw for me? The spotlight is always on skincare (though there may be an occasional lifestyle item included…think candle or silk eye mask, perhaps?). Finally! A box I can get behind! Driven by the most exquisite finds and imports, MINTD offers the best of the best with a signature element of surprise.
Big. Huge!
MINTD stands out for its comprehensive assortment of full and deluxe size treatments. Cliches aside, you get what you pay for. Every delivery boasts weeks if not months of decadent anti-aging formulas coveted by retailers such as Harrods, Harvey Nichols, and net-a-porter. If you’re a skincare enthusiast and strive to catch up with the ever growing beauty industry, this box is not to be missed.
January Box – Rejuvenate
Each MINTD Box has a cohesive theme to it. With the Holidays behind us, it’s time to focus on ourselves, to relax, and to rejuvenate. Covering every step in a proper skincare routine, the January picks include some of the biggest names in the luxury market segment; a worldwide exclusive with a little something big from dermalogica. The helpful booklet guides you through each product featured, tips on how to use it, and a list of online suppliers for restocking.
What’s in it?
The aforementioned dermalogica daily superfoliant literally just launched and MINTD is the only sub box that brings it to you in a travel friendly deluxe size. This next level skin detoxifier, pore purifier, and gentle exfoliator fights the signs of premature aging caused by exposure to the environment.
New to me MAGICSTRIPES is a German brand known for their clay infused sheet-masks that deep clean and tighten any lackluster complexion in need of a radiance boost. The full size three-pack will easily carry you through the month. Save one to use before that special outing, on a rough morning after a late night, or to erase fatigue from jetlag if you’re traveling in the near future.
MINTD includes Sönd Hydrating Face Spray to rescue you from ANY skin sensitivities resulting from the cruel January weather. This soothing solution works great as a toner, refresher, makeup setting spray or try it on your Beauty Blender for color application.
Truly posh, a deluxe pot of EviDenS Day Moisturiser is my treat of choice this month. The lush texture melts into my skin giving it an instantly brighter and more rested appearance. Fueled by Triple Collagen along with revitalizing plant extracts, this ‘Made in Japan’ formula is all around flawless. So on my list of brands to explore at Harrods next time I’m in London.
Saving the best for last, African Botanics Marula Botanical Hand Cream is a New Year’s Resolution in itself. Always have it on hand. Literally! This elegant hand treatment happens to be one of my all time favorites and its presence in this month’s MINTD Box was the ultimate highlight. Rich and creamy yet completely non-greasy, this fast absorbing gem is superb.
