Carmine - February

I received my Carmine box yesterday.  I am loving it.  Included is 3 full size products!


Balance Me Rose Otto Body Wash 125ml - I already love this product having received it as a magazine freebie before. Smells of Turkish Delight.  Gently foaming and sulphate free.

STEAMCREAM - Steam infused skincare 75g - I'd read about this cream before but have never tried it.  Can be used top to toe and packed with natural ingredients - oatmeal infusion, orange flower water, almond oil, lavender oil and other essential oils, jojoba oil and cocoa butter. It's quite strongly scented with lavender so not sure if I'll use it on my face but be a great product to take on holiday. Looking forward to trying this out.  Packaged in limited edition aluminium tin.  Very cute - I got Capri.

Andrea Fullerton Nail Varnish 5.5ml - in shade Matthew. This and the ones above are full size products.

White Glo Extra-Strength Whitening Toothpaste 24g - was pleased to see something different in the box - looking forward to trying this out.

Diego Dalla Palma The Lipstick - I got shade 47 a frosted coral shade - be good with a tan!  Nice product, felt nice on the lips and I'm keen to try some of the other colours - there are 20 shades.

Also included is an extra a sample vial of Yardley Peony EDT - quite nice fresh and floral.  Not sure I'd buy it but nice extra.

A great box. I am really pleased with the contents this month x

  2. I liked the look of tbis box, but thankfully they sold out so I couldn't be tempted ha. Bit of a hoo haaa going on over on the fb page now about them not putting the steam cream in the later ordered boxes as they ran of stuff. Seems some people only ordered it for the steam cream. But thats the risk you take if you wait to see whats in it first ;)

    Ps dunno if you're interested but theres a few mag freebies on at the moment. Glamour - Percy Reed hair stuff (4 to choose from) and cosmo has Clinique stuff on it. I got the hair mask on the Glamour mag, Smells nice, dunno what it will be like to use though. x

    2. The steam cream is great. Saw that on FB. I know I am going to the newsagent tomorrow to pick up Percy & Reed hair mask and maybe they styling product. Marie Claire has a Neals Yard moisturiser. Will check out Cosmo, do like a freebie! x

    3. If you get the styling product, let me know what it's like please :) I couldn't decide on that or the mask or both. I settled for just the mask, as I think I have something similar to the other one that I never use lol. x

  3. This looks much better than the Jolie Box I got this month. Especially with the inclusion of Steam Cream and Balance Me products.
