Joliebox Review - October


My October Joliebox just got delivered.  The theme this month is "Pure and Natural".

Here's the contents -

Ritessens Velvet Cleansing Milk - a full size product - 125ml from a French brand I've never heard of before.  This is what I want to see in boxes - products which are new to me.  Free from parabens, SLS, artificial colours etc. It contains Argan oil and natural plant extracts.  This brand offered a choice of cleanser or exfoliant. Looking forward to trying this one out. 

Lov Organic Tea 6 muslin tea bags in Lov is Beautiful - an organic blend of white and green teas and are packed full of antioxidants and zinc which have proven skincare benefits.  Love herbal tea so looking forward to making a brew.  There are some delicious sounding blends on the website.

JASON Bee Healthier Lip Balm Stick - a full size product which retails at £1.99. It's scented with peppermint and packed with shea butter.  I love lip balms so will definitely be happy to use this.

Balance Me Balancing Face Moisturiser 10ml - just received Amarya's October Box which was a Balance Me featured box and included this cream.  I will use it (eventually!) although my heart sank a little when I saw it in Joliebox this month.

Moa The Green Balm sample pot - I don't like the scent of this one so will pass it on.

All in all I was happy with my box this month.  I love Joliemag - I find it a really informative read.  Fleur from Fleur de Force, is this month's cover star.  What are your thoughts on the box?

  1. Looking forward to the cleanser or exfoliant. Definitely not looking forward to seeing Balance Me! The Moa balm is good, my dad uses it on his rosacea x

  7. I didn't really like this box, first Joliebox that I have been disappointed with. Too many repeats of products for me!
