She Said Beauty Box - October

Bonjour!

I received my She Said Beauty Box for October last week.  Apologies for the darkish pics, it was one of those gloomy days.  Just a quick rundown of what was in the box...




Biao Beauty Rejuvenating Night Creme - 2 x 2ml sachets (full size $24.50/118ml) - this is supposed to 'soothe, moisturise and protect against premature ageing' - sounds like a lovely product but unfortunately only 2 sachets to test.

Cellnique Advanced Bio Renewal Masque - (full size $51.00/50g) - this is apparently an 'unparalleled scrub masque' - sounds ideal for my skin at this time of year but this is a 3g pot which isn't even full, barely enough product to cover my kite so maybe one usage - if that?

B.liv Off With Those Heads - 3ml (full size $49.00/30ml) Another teeny tiny sample. Want to try this as I do have combination skin and occasional blackheads. Will give it a go.

Amy Childs Fragrance by Jigsaw ESL - Quite a sweet and sugary fragrance - will put this in my little girl's Christmas Stocking.

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Travel Size Lotion - full size £1.19/50ml - I do like Palmer's - this is a handy little size but nothing mind-blowing.

MyVitamins - good idea in theory, however I already take a cocktail of vitamins (vitamin D is included in my multivit) so don't want to take anything else at this point. Will give this to a friend at work.


I don't know, is it just me - am I being too picky? I'm just not feeling any excitement at all this month!  The contents are ok in theory  (although shame there wasn't a make-up sample included) but the some of the samples are so small ... I've had better boxes - never mind, not the end of the world.

Hopefully next month will be better?

  3. I was really unhappy with my Jolibox last month, but actually when I started to try the products it wasn't as bad as I thought! However I think I would have liked something instead of the cocoa butter as that is easily obtainable and cheap anyway? The masque and the night creme sound good, but like you say a bit on the small side? Let us know how you get on with it ! Xx
