September JolieBox Uk

 What's in the beauty Box this month?

I have had the JolieBox beauty box delivered for about 5 months now and I have been delighted with each one. The boxes are pretty and reuseable. The contents are well labelled and wrapped and there is a good quality extra as well. However this month, JolieBox, come on! It is a bit on the light side and I don't think I am the only one  who is disappointed in the contents. It is not so much what they are, but the expectation of a decent full size product for your money which for me this month did not materialise.

So here we go - a pretty two tone blue box - lovely . A good start!

The contents:

• A sample size of Redkens Protective Straightening Lotion ( 30 ml - 1 fl oz) I am looking forward to trying this, but I feel this could have been a bigger product to pack the box out a bit.
• Balmi Lip Balm wuth SPF 15 . This is full size, but of course small as it is a lip balm. Ok, but nothing special.
• Twistband Hairbands - two bits of ribbon really that are slightly elasticated. I put my hair in one last night and it fell out. These are labelled as a full size product!
• Dr Bragi Bio Marine Exfoliant - two small samples labelled as extras.
• I Love Face Mask in a sachet labelled as full size!

Full size product? Twisted Hairband.

Balmi Lipbalm

Am I being a little harsh? I shall give them a few more months, but do have my eye on the Amarya Beauty Box so may well be changing sooner rather than later if things don't pick up.

June's Joliebox

Better Late than Never?

I expect you have heard about the delays and frustrations surrounding the delivery of the June Joliebox UK. Apparently caused by problems with a mailing issue that resulted in boxes not being dispatched. Anyway mine has finally arrived today !! So, although I don't intend on doing a monthly review of all the products that are in my monthly box ,as lots of people are already doing this very well indeed, I am doing a photo gallery of "whats in my box" instead. This is particularly for a friend of mine who is keen to see what it is all about ... so 'J' this is for you ! x

Pretty Orange Box( already in love!)

I think every girl should sign up to a box - it is such a treat ! Joliebox customise some of their items as well, although because of the mix up with the mailing this month they couldn't guarantee you would get the right box. However mine was ok - I got the volumizing shampoo, which I will use and the shade of lipstick is just perfect - a deep cherry pink. The L'Occitane product is fabulous already - shame that isn't a full size one, but it it should last a week as you don't need to overload your skin with good quality creams . The only downside is the Pamplemousse full size product is for normal to oily skin which is wrong for me so that will have to be given to a lucky friend.... I'm going to give Joilebox another month to get this right as I don't think the posting problem was their fault and the box was lovely - beautifully wrapped with good quality items , which is what you want from a beauty box. My July box shouldn't be long anyway!
