Febuary 2012 Joliebox

Hi everyone, this months Jolie Box has been much anticipated as with a break in January and the promise of something exciting I had a high expectations for this months box.  I can honestly say it's been the best box of all time for me!  I thought another companies box was good this month but this one blew it out the water!  The reason for me was as I have mentioned I am really getting into more natural products and love trying products that have less chemicals in and this months box was a natural nourishment themed box so I was already excited just reading the message card.

The products were inside the box as usual but this month instead of the usual paper stuffing in the box it contained a bag with the products in which in my opinion is much muh better as once you've had a few boxes you have soooo many paper bits everywhere!



I loved peeking in the bag!

Let's get on with the contents!

Jane Iredale Just kissed lip and cheek stain in forever pink
This was in a mini lipstick form and the consistency was almost a vaseline form lipstick!  It glided on amazingly, it really stained my lips a reddish pink and was almost glossy.  It looked gorgeous on my lips and was very moisturising for them too.  I will be using this in my handbag!

Lavera Basis sensitive organic hand cream
This was described as an organic hand cream with shea butter and almond extracts, my description would be the best handcream I have come across in a long long time!  I went to put this on the first time and got a clear oil out!  After a little shake up I got some cream out and it smelt lovely!  Then as I went to rub it in it sunk in within a few seconds and left no oil or grease on my skin but my hand felt like I had just let a load of good oils sink in to it.  I really was blown away by this hand cream and I will be keeping this with me at all times!

Macadamia deep repair masque
Everyone I know who has tried Macadamia oil loved it so I was really excited to see this in the box.  I haven't tried it yet but promise as soon as I do I will review it as I'm really hoping this lives up to the oil and I have a feeling I won't be disappointed!

KIMIA rejuvenating facial system
This nice little package came with a hydro-activator spray and facial oil to use together and again this smelt nice and I loved how this was presented too as the card it came on came with quite detailed instructions and sometimes in these boxes the instructions aren't always there so that was really good.  The product itself said to use the oil and then the spray after cleansing so I will be starting this tomorrow and again will review it fully but it is a lovely product to get and I'm so excited about new skincare products as they are my favourite things to receive,

TAAJ Himalaya Micellar water
This is described as an antioxidant and tonic make-up remover that will revitalise and purify the skin.  I haven't used many water based face products and so again it's one of those really exciting products to receive.  It smells lovely and almost spa like.  It is a very good size and will be perfect for my new less chemical skincare!

Verdict
This months box exceeded my expectations and I am so happy Joliebox did a natural box as it gives me a chance to try more natural products as this is something I'm finding more and more important.  All the products themselves were amazing and I'm so excited to try them all.  It's rare you receive a box that you feel every product will be used entirely but this is one of them and I am already excited for next months, thanks Joliebox!

October Boudoir Privé box

Hi everyone, for those who aren't already familiar with Boudoir Privé boxes, you pay a monthly fee and the lovely people there send you a monthly beauty box full of lovely sample products and believe me I look forward to it every month!
So here is this months.

I really was not dissapointed, I felt like a little girl on her birthday when I opened it and explored the products!
Here is what I recieved.

• Cetum illumnating mask and creme de lite
• Korres quince body butter
• Leonor Greyl Huile de Palme
• Memo Paris perfume sample
• Full size Rose & co Rose petal salve
• Full size Studiomakeup Liner styler pen in black

The first product I tried was this perfume, I am fussy with perfume and hate overbearing, too grown up scents!  I was really pleasently surprised with this scent as it was grown up but really gorgeous!  It was very sophisticated and kept the scent for a long time without being overbearing.  I have been using ths every day and am getting upset it's running out so I may be tempted to buy some for special occasions and evening meals out!

This is the Leonor Greyl Huile de Palme, now having recently had an awful haircut in which the lovely hairdresser took way too much off and messed up my layers I am now having to grow my hair back and as it looks awful down I have to leave it up, so I am saving this product for when my hair grows a little and I start abusing it with my dryer, tongs and straightners again as a treat!  I am super excited about his as it smells absoloutly delicious!

This is the rose petal salve and this has nt left my side since I received it!  I love, love, love it!  I have been using it mainly on my lips and I did use sme around my nose as the dreaded cold got me and I will definatly be repirchasing this when mine runs out-gorgeous thank you Boudoir Privé!

These are the Cetume illuminating mask and creme de lite.  This was another product I was delighted to recieve and I have to say I love them both and oh my goodness will be buying soon!  They did brighten my skin and my friend even complemented me on how glowing I looked that day so that sold it to me again!  Thanks again Boudoir Privé!

This Korres quince body buter is lovely and a real treat for my weather bashed body!  It is lovely and rich and has a lovely scent to it, please I love this months box, I am buying most things again!

This is the studiomakeup liner styler pen in black.  I have heard so many wonderful things about this product and other reviews have said it's one of the best liners they have used so tonight I am giving it a whirl and am sooo excited to be using this.

So that is it for this month and I have to say it was such an amazing box, I am counting down til next months and hoping it is just as amazing!  Thanks for reading x
