April Jolie Box

My April Jolie box arrived today - and unlike last month, I'm actually pretty happy with it.

Here's what I received:

  

Here's a rundown of what I received in my box:

BellaPierre Mascara - I'm always happy to try a new mascara, and I like the look of this one, it has a nice 'normal' brush - I don't like gimmicky brushes! I'm on the hunt for a mascara that is thickening as well as lengthening, but without being full of irritating fibres, so hopefully this will be nice.

Balance Me Daily Essentials Cleanse and Smooth Face Balm - I love cleansing balms, and this is a good size to take away for a couple of nights. It contains anti-oxidant Artic Cloudberry, which sounds intriguing, and oatmeal. Incidentally, this is the sort of product that I'm most likely to repurchase. Other than nail polish, I have a bit of a skincare obsession.

Pure Fiji Exotic Bath and Body Oil - This is the product I'm least excited to try, but it smells lovely, like holiday in a bottle! I always have dry legs, so I do quite like oils.

Tropic Skincare Skin Revive - This is a nourishing skin cream. It looks quite nice, but my sample is tiny, the pot is half empty! Smells good though! I'll try the little bit I have and see how it is.

KMS California Freeshape Hot Flex Spray - This is a protective heat styling spray. I'm looking forward to trying this, I got a KMS California product in a GlossyBox which I still use and love, and since I straighten my hair every day this should be useful! I'm getting my hair cut next weekend (finally - I look like a Lego man) so I'll trial this once my hair isn't annoying me!

So, overall, I'll happily try everything that's in this box, and I'm really looking forward to using the hair product and the cleansing balm.

March Jolie Box Review

I did this with my GlossyBox so I decided I'll show you what I got in the March JolieBox too.

This is only my second JolieBox, and whilst I was quite pleased with last month's, I can't make up my mind this time.

The most exciting moment?

All full size products

What I received:

Yardley Luxury Body Wash in Lavender: I really, seriously don't like lavender, so I was a bit disappointed not to get one of the other three scents. I'm sure this is lovely, but I can't use a lavender product...it's just me, I know.

Davines Authentic Moisturising Balm: I tried a little of this on my hands, and it's supposed to be rinsed off which is unusual, but it made my skin feel lovely and soft and smells sort of like jojoba/lemon.

Eyeko Skinny Eyeliner: Another one I'm disappointed with. I love the design of the eyeliner, but I can't imagine who would find a use for a Powder Pink shade. I don't want to use pink on my waterline and it wouldn't show up on my skin very well at all. Odd. I would have loved a black pencil.

LCN Nail Polish in a peachy colour: Naturally, I was happy to see a nail polish. This is a nice peachy colour with some sparkle. I will swatch it very soon, it looks like it will be sheer with a nice shine.

JolieBox mirror: A nice touch, but I would probably have preferred a sample or product in all honesty, as this isn't the nicest quality, and I have a lovely Ruby and Millie mirror that my mum bought me in my handbag. But I appreciate that JolieBox put these little extras in.


So, overall, I like the balm and I like the nail polish, but the other products are just not for me. I don't believe that many people at all will like a pink eye pencil, and the Yardley product is just too old fashioned for me. I'm not yet sure whether to keep my subscription.
