I like it when things get personal — skincare that is. And if there’s something Vain Pursuits does best, that’s personalization.
Vain Pursuits, based in Montreal, Canada, is a new online personalized skincare service. Their unique concept and approach towards all things beauty is what piqued my interest and I couldn’t wait to take the quiz. You’ll receive your very own ‘vain kit’ but rest assured it’s not one of those typical beauty box. It’s so much better than that. It’s a kit that is all about YOU, your unique needs and wants. As Vain Pursuits puts it.
So how does it work?
It’s quite simple really.
- You fill out your Vain Profile (this is the part where you tell them your product preferences, likes and dislikes or any skin concerns).
- Then you test your Vain Kit.
- Have a good chat with your skincare confidant (for any little tweaks)
- Buy what you love.
The personalization and product minis come with a fee of $20, which you can use towards your full size (ranging from $48-$80). Not bad, huh?
Vain Pursuits is great if you’re still searching for that perfect product to solve any skin troubles or issues you may have. Products that are actually formulated to suit your skin from its texture, consistency, its purpose, down to its very scent. Because, why not? After all, you’re special! And that’s the whole idea about this service. All about what matters to you.
I have very sensitive skin and so I have tried many creams, lotions and other sorts of potions that promised smooth, healthy-looking skin. But fail. So imagine how much I must have spent over the years trying to pin down ‘the one’? Hopefully, this will change from now on.
Experiencing Vain Pursuits firsthand was something I couldn’t keep to myself. I had to share. Once my products were ready to ship, I received a notification from my gal pal Ruby and a few days later, a personalized envelope arrived, containing another envelope with.. wait for it. My name all over it. Inside were 3 sample products (facial milk, day lotion and facial moisturizer) wrapped carefully with tissues. I also received a welcome note that if I sum it up, it tells me it’s ok to be vain or that I should admit I’m a little bit vain. And yes, I can be. Ha ha.
The kit came with handwritten ‘post cards’ about why my Vain Pursuits skincare gal pal picked the product for me and scent notes involved. Ahhh, I love this type of treatment.
Wait there’s more. To make sure that you know what you’re doing (from start to finish) they include a guide on how to use your Vain Kit. I also love the fact that they only use plant-based ingredients in their products, are cruelty-free, and free from parabens, phthalates, sulfates and synthetic fragrances.
And the best part, I get to name my favorite product! I’m digging my Day Lotion a lot so I’m going to call it… Beauty Bean!
