Want your own?

Ricky’s Cult Crushes is a monthly beauty box subscription.  The cost for this box is $11.00 per month, which you will be auto billed for toward the beginning of each month.  In my experience (thus far) it appears that there will be 5 products in each box that make up a kit, or specific theme.  The themes from Nov-Jan have consisted of: ‘The Perfect Lip’, a box consisting of products to prep, plump and create the perfect lip look, a glitzy box containing items to create a full on glam, party look and this month’s box, ‘Classic Cat Eye’ which contains everything you will need to create just that.

Sign up.

The Box:

Lock in Moisture

The Goods:

Nügg Face Mask in Soothing: 1 single pod $3.99

I love these little wash off mask packs from nügg.  This version is designed to intensely soothe, balance & hydrate troubled or sensitive skin and leave it soft & smooth.  This mask is great for reddened skin that’s under stress.  Simply spread on skin, leave on for about 10 -15 minutes and wash off.  This is a great AM mask type for me.

  Skyn Iceland Pure Cloud Cream:  Deluxe Mini.  Full size $55.00

Skyn Iceland Pure Cloud Cream is a soothing, comforting, super light-weight, yet very hydrating cream that works well, even on very sensitive skin.  This product was formulated to rescue skin from external aggressors like harsh weather and provide comfort after dermatological procedures and surgeries and to calm and soothe seriously stressed skin with irritation and inflammation.  I’ve used and own Asian beauty brand cloud creams, so I was already familiar with the product type.  Skyn Iceland makes some great products and this is one of them.  The texture of ‘cloud cream’ is somewhat unique and a bit hard to explain, to differentiate it from a typical moisturizer…but it is so light and airy feeling, with instant water like moisturizing.  It feels very cool and soothing on your skin and I love it when mine is irritated…which is most of the time

and… it is free of parabens, petroleum, mineral oil, chemical sulfates and phthalates. 100% vegan and cruelty-free. Dermatologist tested for sensitive skin.

Lipsmart:  Foil Packet.  Full Size $30.00

This lip treatment is designed to moisturize, hydrate & combat signs of aging while plumping lips naturally without irritation. LipSmart contains a patented bio-active fusion of naturally occurring amino acids clinically proven to plump up your lips while improving contour and definition.  While I certainly have not noticed any ‘plumping’ or improved anything else within the time frame I’ve used this small packet, it has worked really well to smooth up and hydrate my dry, chapped lips, post Tahoe 🙂

Phytocitrus Hair Mask: $14.00

This hair mask uses a blend of citrus fruits and proteins to lock in color, reconstruct the hair fiber and boost radiance and shine.  It’s hard to say, from my perspective, how this product performs in the color protecting aspect; I’ve only used it once and only have my hair toned.  Because I get it done every 6 weeks and wash it once a week with purple shampoo, I never have any issues losing my toned shade, or becoming brassy as is.  As for the other components of this product it did help with the condition of my hair a bit, making it softer and appearing healthier than it actually is.  I own another hair treatment from this brand, of the leave-in variety, that I like as well.

Ricky Care N0-Crease Bow Clips:  $6.99

These cute little bow clips were designed to hold hair back while applying makeup (or masking products) in a way that will not leave any dents or creases in your hair.  Simple, cute & functional.

This was not the most exciting box but I’ve been using the little clips, really love the cloud cream and I can always use another nügg mask.  I feel like this beauty sub is a bit unique in comparison to the many others I currently receive and have received in the past.  I enjoy the themes and am always curious what the next one will be.  For only $11.00 a month I think it’s totally worth it for anyone considering this box.

Well; what do you think about Ricky’s NYC’s contribution to the beauty sub world?  Who’s crushing?!
