Spread Indie Love Box Swatches, Review & Reveal

by Lisa Heath

Press Sample

A few months ago I received an email asking if I would be interested in reviewing an indie box that would have an assortment of indie offerings in it. I’ve always shown a lot of love for indies on my blog and social media, so I thought this was a great concept. Finally the box has come together and it landed on my steps just a few days ago.

This is the Premier Summer/Fall Spread Indie Love Box and it features 8 amazing brands (4 polish and 4 bath & body products) as well as samples from 8 more incredible brands. So all together you get a selection from sample to full size of 16 current indie brands. All items within the box are exclusive in some way – either the color, scent, packaging or formula.  A few of the items in the box were from brands I’ve worked with in the past and several were new to me, so it was a fun box for me to play with and look through.

Ready to see the Spread Indie Love Box? Make sure to read to the bottom for all details on purchasing.

We’ll kick this off with the polishes

There are 4 polishes in the box. 2 of these brands I’ve worked with before (Sweet Heart Polish & Indigo Bananas) and 2 are new to me (Polished For Days and Bliss Polish)

Indigo Bananas Everybody Say LOVE!

Everybody Say Love

How do you say LOVE for indies? With the shocking coral pink glass fleck shimmer ‘Everybody Say LOVE!’ by Indigo Bananas. A deeper pink indoors, and a glowing coral in the sun, this matte finish polish can be worn with and without top coat for two different looks. Can you say LOVE? Yes!

I used 2 beautiful coats for these photos and a glossy top coat.

ALL THE LOVE! is a clear glitter topper filled with a mix of matte, metallic and holographic glitter in periwinkle, lime, green, pinks and blues. I used 2 thin coats over OPI Coney Island Cotton Candy and a glossy top coat.

Northern Star Cosmetics is a brand I’ve worked with before and have samples the cuticle oils before, so I know they are good. For the Spread Indie Love Box she provided a cuticle oil in the scent Enchanted Apple. This comes in a plastic roller ball applicator.

Northern Star Nourishing Cuticle Oil in Enchanted Apple: a special blend of crisp apples and bergamot with hints of tangerine and lemongrass, the scent of late summer days fading into autumn. Combining six nourishing oils specially selected for those seeking moisture while dealing with allergies and sensitive skin, all ingredients used are cruelty-free, vegan friendly, and free of tree-nuts, gluten, and phthalates. Ingredients: Jojoba Oil, Apricot Kernel Oil, Avocado Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Rosehip Seed Oil, and Fragrance.

DazzleGlaze is a new brand to me, but this stuff is AMAZING!

pre-GLAMMING Luxe Sugar Scrub is designed to get your hands ready to rock your best manicure (although don’t hesitate to put it all over)! This scrub exfoliates and moisturizes at the same time, sloughing off all that dead skin and conditioning everything to be super smooth and silky. This exclusive scent is a sweet mix of lush orchid, fragrant jasmine, and fresh freesia, with a hint of wooden musk and vanilla

The scent is so relaxing and it smells incredible.

Stardust Polish brings us a product I’ve heard about and wanted to try but hadn’t just yet. Absolute Zero 2.0 Acetone Additive!

Absolute Zero 2.0 Acetone Additive is a half ounce mixture that you add into your acetone or pure acetone you have at home. It makes the acetone moisturizing but still as effective as 100% acetone. The ingredients are all organic and they are: Glycerin, Jojoba Oil, Grapeseed Oil & Distilled Water.

I have acetone remover here – but I’m not sure why because I think my bottle is a few years old. When I use it my skin gets too dry and chewed up looking, so I stopped. Now I’ll need to bring it back out and give this stuff a whirl because it sounds like a great concept!

I am familiar with Rica’s polishes, but not with her bath and body goodies. For the Spread Indie Love Box, Rica contributed Babushka’s Miracle Salve! You can use Babushka’s Miracle Salve to treat many things such as skin irritations of all kinds, eczema, psoriasis, cuts, scrapes, bug bites, itchy skin, dry skin, rashes, burns, even baby diaper rash! You can also use it on chapped lips. Babushka’s Miracle Salve is very versatile. It’s all natural. There are no chemicals. This special salve has antifungal and antibacterial properties that aids healing. Ingredients are all organic and nut-free.

This salve’s formula is so gentle and can be used on newborns. It is also safe for dogs.

I love products like this I can carry in my purse for myself or my 9 year old!
