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?

JOLIEBOX - December



I was excited to receive my box this morning.  It's a compact black box (in the style of Glossybox) and filled with products (two extras).  I think it's a fab first box.  

It comes with a menu style card - listing what is included but doesn't list the size/price of the full size products.

OPI Gold Shatter Nail Lacquer 15ml - this is a full sized product which retails at £10.50. 

Mitchell and Peach Shower Wash 50ml - retails at £20 for 200ml.  This is a product I've been wanting to try as its free from parabens etc. but have been put off by the price - can't wait to try.  Smells lovely.  It's lightly scented with lavender, violet, ylang ylang and rose.

New CID i-gloss - full size product - Light up Gloss with Mirror in Shade Baby Doll.  Retails at £16.  A wearable pink shade.  As soon as you open the lid the light comes on - there is a mirror on the side of the tube.

Jane Iredale 24-Karat Gold Dust 1.8g - a multi-use shimmer powder in Rose Gold - can be used on eyes, cheeks, body, lips, hair.  Retails at £11.

Yon-Ka Vital Defense 5ml - Anti-Ageing Cream - never heard of this brand but will try the cream out.

Also included is two bonus items:

Kusmi Detox Tea - a blend of maté, Chinese green tea and lemongrass, full flavoured with lemon - love herbal teas so looking forward to trying this out. It comes in a cute little tin.

Joliebox Concealer brush - I don't have a concealer brush so happy to find this as an extra.  

A great box - such great value for money and fab contents. 


p.s. just had a mug of tea and its delicious with a strong taste of lemongrass and no green tea bitterness.  I just need to get a tea strainer rather than using a mini sieve!


I subscribe to all 5 - Joliebox, Amarya, Glossybox, Feel Unique and Carmine (for the moment).  The Amarya one I subscribed to first (for the year) before I realised other boxes existed.  Unfortunately, I can't keep all of the others on due to the cost.  Which one do you think I should give up? I am thinking either Glossybox or Carmine.  Ooh its so difficult to decide x
