Showing posts with label beauty box

Hi girls,

I couldn't wait any longer and I want to show you what I had in December Amarya Box :) I kinda skipped reviewing the November boxes so I hope I'll find the time to do all the December ones (except Boudoir Prive/JolieBox). I subscribe to all of the boxes I will review, I don't get any of them for free.

My Amarya Box arrived yesterday - 7/12/2011 which is about a week later than last month. I had only three items in the box but they are nice samples and good value.

The main product is REN Neroli Duo Gift box - Zesty, invigorating, uplifting, REN's Neroli and Grapefruit duo contains a reviving body wash and a fresh and richly hydrating body cream. Perfect for sporty types, our Y chromosome friends and those who love a refreshing wake up shower in the morning.

I'm still not sure wether to use it for myself or to give it as a gift but Neroli and Grapefruit are not exactly the scents I would pick for myself. This gift box retails at Amarya website for £28 so here you get your value for money. Both are 200ml bottles. Overall it is a nice product with amazing packaging.

The second sample in the box is Dr.Hauschka Cleansing Cream - A beneficial approach to healthy facial skin care is to use Cleansing Cream, with its mild and very effective action. Features: A very important core product in the Dr.Hauschka facial skin care range. Deep cleansing. Maintains the pH balance so that the acidic barrier protecting your skin is not broken down. Maintains and supports the skin's natural moisture level.

I am very happy to try this Cleansing Cream as I've never tried anything from Dr.Hauschka. Full size is 50ml and retails for £14.95. The sample is 10g so the value is approximately £2.99

The last is perfume sample - Acorelle Citrus Verbena EDP. The unmistakable fresh citrus scent in this Verbena Eau De Parfum will delight your senses working in perfect harmony with your skin.Soothing notes of petitgrain, litsea (an evergreen tree), cedar, and neroli have a calming effect on the senses. Additional notes include mandarin, bergamot, armoise, cut grass accord, clary sage and cedar.

Family: Green Flowery Hesperidium Woody
Top Notes: lemon, tangerine, bergamot
Middles Notes: petitgrain, jasmine, notes of freshly cut grass, neroli
Base Notes: cedar

This is a first perfume sample I'm happy about! Yaaay! :) I like fruit and citrussy scents but not all of them appeal to me. Also the sample has a little spray pump so that makes it even nicer to use. The full size is 50ml and retails for £29.99

So that's it, my December Amarya Box. Can't wait to see other reviews and if we all got the same products :)

Hi everybody!

I know it's a little late for the review of the October boudoir Prive Box but I received it just two days ago and really really excited about it! why? Because I saw reviews on other bloges and the items inside are just great!

And Why I got the box just two days ago? Well unfortunately my first box got lost in the post. Lovely people at Boudoir Prive sent me the second box and I couldn't believe it but it got lost again!!! OMG I was so angry at Royal Mail staff because obviously there must be somebody who knows about beauty boxes and steals them and since Boudoir Prive was not sent by recorded delivery (till now) it is impossible to find out where the package got lost. After second lost box I honestly said goodbye to the October BP box. I was very pleasantly surprised when Boudoir Prive sent me a third box! This it was via recorded delivery (thank you!) and box was delivered next day. I really have only positive things to say about Boudoir Prive staff.

Box came nicely packed again and under the pink ribbon I found an invitation from RMK to receive a complimentary skin consultation and relaxing mini facial at Selfridges including a goody bag while stocks last.

So what I got in my box?

Korres Guava Body Butter - I absolutely love this one! The smell is really yummy, I actually prefer it to my current favourite smell - Body Shop Coconut Body butter. The Koress butter is nice an rich and at the same time it soaked to the skin fast and didn't leave the familiar oily film on the skin that Body Shop butter does leave. This is a generous 50ml sample. Full size is 150ml and retails for £12.50

Cetuem Illuminating Mask - This is a 5ml sample of brightening mask. I haven't tried this one yet but the sample looks like it might last at least two applications.

Cetuem Creme de Lite - a moisturizer that is supposed to be applied after the mask...I'll try this one later too.

Rose & Co Apothecary Rose Petal Salve - Full sized tin of Rose petal salve...smells like turkish delight..you know that rose-y smell? I'm sure you do :) This is a very nice moisturizing balm that can be used on lips as a balm, over the lipstick to make it glossy, on dry elbows or as a eye gloss...cool, right? I have my eye on the some other scents. One tin costs £5 and has 20g which will last you quite a while.

Leonor Greyl Huile de Palme - Huile de Palme is a pre-shampoo conditioner that was soften and nourish dry and damaged hair. Haven't tried this treatment yet but it sounds pretty interesting. However it will be interesting how I'll get it out of the bottle as it just doesn't want to move :D The sample is 25ml and full version retails for £25 for 95ml.

StudioMakeup Liner Styler Pen - a black felt tip eyeliner in a full size. "The slim and soft tip provides precision in a single stroke". It has nice pigmentation but it dries very long time. I'm not a fan of felt tip eyeliners, I like to use gel liner and eyeliner brush so this baby will go to the swap box :) This product itself is worth £12!

Memo Paris Les Echappees Jannat - Jannat features notes of bergamot, citron, petitgrain, mandarin, frangipani, neroli, liatrix, clary sage, tonka bean and musk. Not really my fragrance as bergamot and neroli give me headache :-/ But it doesn't mean that somebody else won't like this smell.

Overall I was over the moon with this box, I love the Korres body butter and the Rose petal salve the most and I still haven't tried few items! You can subscribe to Boudoir Prive box HERE
