I've decided to start a blog purely dedicated to hauls and reviews!
First up is November's I Love This Box!
After my HSC my source of retail therapy came in the form of sample boxes. This was after procrastinating by watching youtube videos of Americans opening their Birchboxes and the UK with their Glossy Box (which is also now available in Australia YAY! Will be reviewing this later!) This was the first one that I ordered for $14.95 including shipping and it arrived yesterday!
The packaging is great, the box is slightly shimmery and is quite sturdy. It also felt quite substantial and smelt great!
The box contains:
Caudalie Paris (Set of Three Skincare Samples):
- RRP $80 for 30-40mL
- Sample is 9mL = $18-24 value
The set includes things like anti wrinkle creams and since I am only 18, I will just pass this on to my mum. I really like the cute little trinket bag and everything though :)
NVEY Eco Eyeshadow in Taupe #172
- RRP $29 for 1.5g
- full size = $29 value
I really do like this eyeshadow. It's organic which is a plus and comes off as a silver shimmery brown colour. I think I'll be using this for the inner corners of my eyes!
Essie Nail Polish (French Affair Collection)
- RRP $18.95 for 15mL
- Samples is 5mL = $6.30 value
There were three colours available, a lilac, blue and nude. I was so happy to receive the lilac as I don't have this shade in my nail polish collection! Such a beautiful colour - this is easily my favourite product from the entire box. I was hesitant in purchasing a full bottle of nail polish simply because I don't want to pay almost $20 for a bottle of polish. However, I'll definitely try this out and if it performs well, I will certainly consider it!
Keratinology by Sunsilk Colour Therapy Shampoo & Condtioner
- RRP $10.99-$13.99 for 100mL-200mL)
- full size product = $22 value
This was the source of the amazing smell when I first opened the box! However, I'm not a real hair-care person and have plenty of shampoo stashed away so still on the fence about this one. Will try it though!
POD Gradual Tanning Face Serum
- RRP $40
- full size sample = $40 value
This would be a phenomenal product for those who love to use fake tan. Getting yet another full sized product makes this box's value just so great. However, I am naturally quite tanned already so this product is pretty redundant. Does anyone know if you can use this for other parts of the body? (If it's gentle enough for the face, you could use it for evening out tan lines, right?)
Apparently, there was also supposed to be a $10 off voucher at Magnolia Jewellery stores but this was not in my box, so this inconsistency is a little disappointing.
Total value = $115.30 AUD to $121.30
Overall, I'm not ecstatic about the products, but I am satisfied. I would have liked to have received more make up products!
