Cult Cosmetics BlackBox Review


The last thing I need is more nail polish, but after looking at Cult Cosmetic's nail art kits, I just HAD to sign up for their new subscription service.  BlackBox promises to send you 3+ polishes and a nail tool every month for $20 plus shipping.

I honestly have no idea if this is the June box or the July box.  I was billed in June and it shipped in July. Cult Cosmetics has posted things on their Facebook page that make me think this isn't July's, buuuut a lot of girls have apparently already gotten that box.  So...no clue.

Mash Tweezers: ($3.99)  I've always just used a spare pair of eyebrow tweezers whenever my nail design required it.  After using these to place the glitter flakes on my manicure last week, I don't know how I've survived without them.  It's amazing how much of a difference the proper tools can make.


Loose Silver Glitter: This is super pretty.  I love loose glitter.  I used it for the "stars" on my 4th of July manicure.


Gold Nail Studs: I love clothing with studs, and I've seen awesome nail designs with studs, so I can't wait to give it a go for myself. 


KM Nail Glue: ($1.25) For use with the above studs.  Any time I've used nail glue, I've wasted about half the bottle on my hands, arms, and fingers.


 Essie The Girls Are Out: ($8) In the bottle, it looks very similar to Bottle Service, but on the nail it's much more purple.  And shiny.


Essie Bottle Service: ($8)  This color is neon, which I love.  I have a couple neon pinks, but none this exact color.


Essie Avenue Maintain: ($8)  I love blue nail polish, but for some reason I don't have many.  I used this on my toes and I can't stop looking at them.


Here are some hurried swatches of The Girls Are Out, Bottle Service, and Avenue Maintain.  Bottle Service is brighter in person.


They also included a Cult Cosmetics decal.



 The total value of the box is over $30, plus it has reignited my interest in nail art.  The customer service over at Cult Cosmetics is really good, too, which counts for a lot.  Right now, they're offering your first BlackBox at 50% off, no code needed.  They also have nail art kits that are very reasonably priced...and very tempting!
