How Does It Work?
The Petit Vour’s model works like most beauty subscription services in the market; you go to their website to purchase the subscription plan that works best for you.
What sets them apart is their beauty profile. To ensure that you get only products that are relevant to you, the company provides a questionnaire with questions about your skin tone, eyebrow color, lip colors you prefer, and so on.
Once you fill-up the beauty profile and pay for your subscription, your monthly box will ship around the 10th to the 20th of each month.
However, Petit Vour does provide the caveat that if there is a waiting list, your subscription could start on the month after you purchase your subscription. This language is clearly indicated on the sign-up page.
Another unique aspect of Petit Vour is their review system and their online shop rebate system. If you opt to review the monthly box that you get, you can earn up to 400 Petit Vour points each month, which equate to $4.
You can spend those points or save them; it is up to you. Purchasing from their online shop also grants points, which is a fantastic way of assuring customer loyalty.
Types of Products Available
The main product of Petit Vour is their beauty box, a luxury-curated, cruelty-free, monthly beauty package. Each monthly beauty box contains four products that are non-toxic and plant-based.
The Petit Vour’s team carefully curates them to your beauty profile. Products included in your box can vary from make-up, skincare, and hair care items.
Petit Vour’s online shop is massive and the selection of products could fill-up a hundred pages.
However, if you want to learn more about their brand partners and the selection of products available for each of them, you can go to the Petit Vour brands page.
Pricing
Petit Vour has two subscription plans available, monthly and annual. They lay out the monthly and annual cost of each plan according to your location:
- USA = $18 /month or $180/year
- Canada = $23/month or $240/year
- Worldwide = $25/month or $264/year
Company History
Petit Vour came into existence in the spring season of 2013, founded by its current co-CEO Madeline Alcott. Madeline founded the company based on her dissatisfaction over the lack of transparency in the fashion industry.
She wanted to create a brand that was not only fashionable but one that followed a strict ethical code.
The company’s name comes from the founders’ favorite confectionary, petit fours, but with a modern twist. The name Petit Vour is their take on “a delectable selection of luscious vegan beauty.”
The company started in the early years of the subscription era, at a time when searching for cruelty-free and vegan beauty products meant going to local health food stores that only had a limited and often lackluster selection of goods.
But this was unacceptable. High-quality, cruelty-free, and non-toxic cosmetics and skin care products should be available to everyone. With that in mind, Petit Vour set out and searched the globe for brands with the same mission they espoused.
Curating the products these brands produced and holding to an impeccable standard, the company came up with their first beauty box in the spring of 2013.
Immediately after launching their beauty box, the company found that subscribers were not satisfied with receiving only a once-per-month discovery package.
They realized that their clients needed a modern online retail store that held all of the products the company included in the monthly beauty box. Thus, in the Winter of 2013 the company launched their online store to great success.
Since then, they have branched out from beauty products, adding fashion, accessories and wellness products. They hold all their products to the same incredible high standard of the company.
Alternatives
If cruelty-free and vegan make up isn’t something that you espouse, or you find Petit Vour’s offerings aren’t to your liking, here are a couple of beauty subscription services that you can look into as well.
BirchBox
BirchBox is a New York City-based online subscription service that also focuses on beauty-related products.
The monthly “Birchbox” they send out to customers includes four to five selected samples of make-up, skincare items, perfumes, organic-based products, or other collections of cosmetics.
Allure Beauty Box
Allure is one of the cheapest beauty-related subscription services out there at roughly $15 per month.

Petit Vour Review Verdict
Overall, Petit Vour is a delightful surprise. Their strong stand against animal cruelty and their curation of vegan cosmetics allows them to create genuinely unique monthly boxes.
Some of the products may come from lesser-known brands, but that doesn’t mean that they are not top-quality products.
The price is in the mid-range to lower end of subscription services related to beauty products, and the contents are worth a lot more than the subscription cost.
If you want to test out and discover vegan products, Petit Vour is a subscription that you should have.
