Joliebox review - June

My Joliebox finally arrived yesterday!  I am really pleased with the contents and I ended up getting the right box for my skin type.  In France, Joliebox are celebrating their first birthday and UK Joliebox was launched six months ago. (formerly Boudoir Prive).  The products are all French this month -

Yon-Ka Pamplemousse Protective and Vitalising Cream - normal/oily skin 50ml.  This is 50ml which is a great size to receive in a beauty box.  Joliebox say "This lightweight facial cream protects the skin from external factors making complexions look hydrated and bright".  Looking forward to testing this one, it smells amazing.

L'Occitane Angelica Hydration Cream 15ml - Joliebox say "A smooth facial cream that reinforces natural skin hydration and leaves skin looking radiant and fresh".  I'm currently using the cleanser and toner in this range so looking forward to complementing it with this moisturiser.

Institut Esthederm UV inCellium Spray 20ml - Joliebox says "A pre-tanning treatment which will boost skin's natural defences and ensure a long lasting tan".  I've heard of this brand but never tried anything - maybe if we eventually get a bit of sun I can test it out.  I've used the Elemis Tan Accelerator before and it definitely enhanced my tan and stopped me getting prickly heat - always a bonus!

Elysambre Lipstick in shade 203 3.5g - a frosted pink.  Took me a while to work out that its got a pull off cap before you twist it up like a normal lipstick.  Seems a nice enough shade but not one I'd chose.  A natural make up product.  Will try it out though.

Finally, a nail file - always useful.

A few money off cards - Free Delivery at the Joliebox shop with code, 30% off at Codage, a french skin care brand and a free L'Occitane cleanser when you buy the full size moisturiser.

Also included is the super informative and cute Joliemag and well as the goodies being packed in a limited edition birthday box.

What are your thoughts?  Did you get this box?  If you did, do you think it was worth the wait?

Carmine - November and December likes

I subbed to Carmine in November (I couldn't miss out on yet another beauty box!)  I had loads of hassle regarding my address detail and late delivery.  Carmine support assured me it would be fixed for the December box. 

December came and my box was again late - I eventually received it, and it was addressed wrong again! (luckily my long suffering postie knows I am a beauty addict and I  got it eventually!)  I have been assured it has been sorted for January - fingers crossed!

These are my likes from the November and December boxes.

November

Cosmetics a la carte Brow Ink – really ingenious product, love it.  Never used a brow ink before.  It can also be used as eyeliner. 

i-pout lipstick – loved this, beautiful colour (Berrylicious) and really handy on nights out with the built in light and mirror. I hadn’t tried this brand before the beauty boxes.

Lulu Time Bomb Flashback Night Cream 15ml – ideal try me size.  Lovely cream enjoyed using would maybe re-purchase (stocked up in a couple in swaps).

December

Institut Esthederm Time Technology Cream – I love trying new face creams and this is really nice.  Rich but easily absorbed.

KMS Freeshape Quick Blow-Dry –  spray on towel dried hair and it reduces drying time by 50%.  Love this product would buy full size.

Benito Brow Bar Free Eyebrow Threading card – A free eyebrow threading.  Not used yet but I can in either House of Fraser or Debenhams - valid until June.

The other items in the boxes I swapped (Weleda Pomegranate Body Wash, Japonesque Smudger Brush and Blingtone eyeshadow).  I gave the Dainty Doll Eyeliner and the NEOM body lotion as gifts.

I will see what the contents are of the next couple of boxes as I am not using all the products so this may be the one I will cancel.

What are your thoughts on Carmine?
