Dr Bronner's Soap pillows - magic all in one soaps loved by the A list clens and revives from head to toe.
Phil Smith Be Gorgeous Dry Clean Revitalising Dry Shampoo - This dry shampoo blitzes oily roots and leaves hair feeling fresh and clean.
So Susan Cosmetics Lip Cushion - A sheer gloss to tint and moisturise chapped lips.
So Susan Cosemtics Wide Awake Palette - A palette of skin enhancing colour tools to give you a summer glow.
Joliebox Leather Styling Lace - A leather lace to create endless updo's.
I have tried the Phil Smith dry shampoo already on day 2 hair and I was impressed. I don't like dry shampoo that leaves a residue or has too much of an overpowering smell. This has neither - just leaves a fresh smell and pumps the hair up nicely. I actually prefer it to the Redken one that I have been using that can tend to leave a bit of a grey residue in the hair.
The soap pillows look gorgeous and I think would be lovely in a guest room welcome basket. Not that we have one at the moment as my husband is using it as a home office - roll on next spring and our new extension!

A closer look at the lip balm that does have a lovely shimmer to it.
The So Susan Palette looks lovely too, but I think I am going to give it as a little gift for someone who has been having a rough time lately and deserves it more. It is so pretty and the colours are still sealed . It comes with a small brush and tiny tweezers too.
As for the lace - I am not sure I would tie my hair up with it , but the Making Queen ,aka my 5 year old daughter, will find a use for it I'm sure. Nothing stays around for long in our house. If it isn't nailed down it will get made into something before too long!
So - another good box I feel from Joliebox. Or maybe I just am enjoying it because it is still pretty new to me? Oh and I must mention the glorious colours on the box. Just lovely! I am finding all sorts to store in these - you pay a fortune to buy little boxes in the shops for storage so include that in what I am paying and I do feel it is good value for money. Loving it.
Hi Claire! After forever and a day, I was able to accept your Laine award. Thank you for thinking of me and my little blog. I hope we get to keep in touch! -Michele

ReplyDeleteI FINALLY was able to accept your Laine award. Once again, thank you so much for thinking of me. It meant so much. I thought I posted this before, so it may be another comment on another post or.....I wrote on someone's blog and they now think I've lost my mind. They'd be right. Have a beautiful day, and once again, thank you!
ReplyDeleteLooks like there are some lovely things in this box and agree about the boxes coming in handy for all sorts of things!
ReplyDeleteI keep my ridiculous nail polish collection in the empty boxes i have! So handy xx
ReplyDeleteSee my review at http://laurenjadem.blogspot.co.uk
The lip balm looks great(I love balms with a bit of tint)and the dry shampoo! My little girl would also take the lace off my hands! xx
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what else I'd do with it! There has been a lot of 'making' going on this wet summer holiday...... XX
DeleteHi! Just dropping by to give you the good news: Congratulations! I've nominated you for the Liebster Blog Award. Check out my blog to see how to accept:http://thegreekhousewife.blogspot.gr/2012/08/my-first-award.html?showComment=1346196713289
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!! That is very kind of you! I will pop on over to check it out. X
DeleteThe lace thing is weird but I'd probably turn it into a wrist wrap bracelet or necklace. But that's just me given the nature of my hobby for making jewellery.
ReplyDeleteOoo I'd love to see some on your blog - I love individual jewellery. I'm not good enough with the fiddly bits to make things like that myself! Xx
DeleteLovely selection of goodies.
