Jolie Box July

Its this time of the month again when all the beauty boxes land on the door step.

The Jolie Box arrived early this morning.
The box has some interesting things in it for me to have a go at and try and hopefully blog about them.
First thing i noticed it was back to the plain black box exterior and the normal black little bag inside. Of which i must be the only one who hasn't found a use for them yet.




The first product i noticed when i looked inside the bag, was the  NailGirls mini nail polishes, they are from the  Medal collection that's inspired by the Olympics. I got the shades, gold and bronze. There is also a silver shade in the collection.





The next product I got is the Etat Pur Biomimetic skincare B09- Express purifying mask. Its a French brand of skincare products and I got the mask. The other thing I could have got instead of the mask is the Pur Active A22-Salicylic Acid 300, which helps heal spots and blemished skin. I would have preferred that but I'm still happy I got the face mask, as I need to find one that helps my skin that can get very bad breakouts.

The next product i received is the Wen By Caz Dean sweet almond and mint cleansing conditioner. This is a multi purpose use conditioner, you can use it on your hair like a normal conditioner, use it as a deep conditioner and a leave in conditioner at the ends of your hair. It smells amazing and I cant wait to use it!!




The product I'm most disappointed in this month is the Jane Iradale Tantasia self tanner. Myself personally look stupid with most fake tans, as they go too dark, or they streak and go orange. My skin tone is very pale with a lot of freckles, I also have the ginger hair, so i have the Celtic look, so fake tan is a big no no for me, unless i have dyed my hair brown or blonde, both of which i haven't done for some time now.

This month after the late arrival of the June boxes, we have a special extra gift this month.
I got the essential care organic rose moisturiser, this smells absolutely lush!! I'm in love with the smell of this, to me it smells like Turkish delight. Its for all skin types,its also free from all the nasty stuff that can be found in moisturisers/skin care.
We also got a little jolie box toe separator thing in the box too, along with the july edition of the joliemag.

Anyways I'm off to enjoy some of the sunshine :)

Jolie Box Review

SO... the Jolie Box eventually came yesterday after about two weeks of disturbances with the delivery, but it came.
As it is the Jolie Box birthday box, I was expecting big things from this box...
As I've not tried all the products yet but on first glance, I'm not sure its anything spectacular. Reason being is that i have two similar products, but I am excited to try both of them when i run out of my existing moisturiser. Saying that the box it came in was a very gorgeous shade of orange.... My favourite colour.

                                                  The products and Jolie mag.


Lets get into what products i got in the box this month and i can give my opinion on them.

                                         Elysambre Lip gloss
This is a full sized product, by a French all natural make up company, Elysambre. Ive never heard of this brand before, not too keen on the colour of lip gloss I got. Its a cross between a pearlescent and sheer colour. This is a product that would find its way to the bottom of my make up drawer if i don't give it to someone who will get use out of it. As I'm more of a colour on the lips kinda gal. Its a nice texture though, not too sticky and it feels like it moisturised my lips when i put it on to test it.

                                          Institut Esthederm Bronz repair body lotion

This Lotion is by another French brand, again that Ive never heard of. This is one Ive not tried as it not sunny in Edinburgh yet. But on  the information card, it says it helps battle the damage done by the sun and reduces the signs of ageing and gives the wearer a nice glow. This is slightly out of my comfort zone with beauty as I'm fair skinned i don't tan very well and when i do require a sun kissed glow, id rather fake it. So again this product is useless to me, but I'm sure lots of subscribers will get a lot of use out of it.

                                          L'Occitane Angelica Hydration Cream

This is one of the products I'm excited to try. Ive not heard a great deal of stuff about this brand, but it smells nice and its very creamy. On the information card, it says it reinforces the natural skin hydration an leaves the skin looking fresh and glowing. I cant wait to try this out in a few weeks time.

                                         Yon-Ka Pamplemousse protective and Vitalizing Cream

This is the customised product, you got if you filled in the beauty profile, which i did. So i got the normal-oily skin one. This is the one I'm going to start using today, once Ive cleansed. Its quite a large sample size at 50ml, so enough to know if it does any good to my skin. On the card it says the cream is a lightweight face cream that protects the skin from external factors and it makes the complexion hydrated and bright.

Another little thing we received in the box was a Jolie Box nail file.
So all in all i think i would give the box about a 6 out of 10, as there is two similar products and two that I'm not going to get any use out of. But a very pretty box.
