July Joliebox 2012

Wow the doorbell surprised me today and as I signed for the parcel I guessed I was receiving a beautybox but was amazed when I opened it and it was this months Joliebox!  Only a week after my last one too!
You will have to excuse my shakey hand, I am feeling a little unsteady today due to nervous energy but more on that in a personal post another day!
The first products I will show you were bonus items as an apology for last months fiasco (the less said there the better!)  Toe seperators and RMK make up base which I think I got in another Joliebox previously.  Nice additions and it's nice they are apologising for last month.
Etat Pur Pure Active A22-Salicylic Acid 300  This is a new French skincare brand and the product contains an ingrediant that is well-known in dermatology and is meant to be very effective on acne prone or blemished skin.  I work with a dermatologist so I am going to show him this product before I use it as I am having a creakout on my chin at the moment and I'm hoping this may clear it up, however I like to be sure it will be fine for my sensitive skin first!
Jane Iredale Tantasia Self Tanner  Thank you Joliebox, you have saved my summer!  The English weather continues and although I don't actively sunbathe I tend to get a little colour on my face but haven't as yet this year.  I will be using this on my face and neck and will report back with my findings!
Nailgirls Gold and Bronze  These colours were inspired by the olympics and I'm actually really excited by these as I am doing a few olympic themed things over the summer and feel these would be fun as I don't really buy gold or bronze polish.
Wen by Caz Dean Sweet Almond and Mint Cleansing Conditioner  This smells more mint than almond and it says it's bursting with natural herbs and botanicals which can only be a good thing.  I really need a good cleansing shampoo and conditioner so if this is good then I may repurchase!

Verdict on this months box
For me Joliebox have made up for last month, I stuck by them as I felt I have always liked their boxes and have found them fairly reliable compared to others and if the new delivery company means it will come as promptly as that every month then I know I made the right decision.
As for the contents (probably the more important thing) I really like the variety and feel there are a few products that I'm looking forward to using!  One I'm a bit jubious about (Etat Pur) but the rest I will honestly us and am already looking forward to next months box!
