Well I had recently signed up to I Love This Box (yes!!! another beauty box service! I'm a bit obsessed.) and I was so surprised this morning to receive it.
I love how it comes in a protective carton, and then you have the actual box. This just helps keeps everything much safer.
This months theme is all about Australia Day and being Australian. To celebrate this they have given 5 FULL SIZED products!!! Aren't we lucky ducks!
"I LoveThis Box" Angular Eye Shadow Brush
I love make up brushes!!! I don't think you can ever have enough. This brush is perfect for creating a smokey eye. It is so soft!! It was specially made for ILTB and they will be selling them, as well as other brushes, on their website. I love that you can use it with powders or creams. Alone this is $19.95.
Olive by Langlois Flavoured Lip Balm
There are 4 different flavours and I was lucky enough to get the vanilla. I LOVE vanilla! There was also a Musk, Lavender and Strawberry. So I am super happy I got the vanilla. They are made from fresh olives and botanical extracts. They are $7.95 each.
Linden Leaves Footcare Foot Reviver 85mls
This is perfect for summer. I am terrible at remembering my feet and they always get neglected. So this is great for summer days to use before bed. They are a NZ company, use natural ingredients and recyclable packaging. It is quite a strong smell so I wouldn't use it in the day. But once I am home I will spray it so it doesn't interfere with my perfume. Other boxes will have bath and body products instead of the foot spray.
Revlon Nail Polish
My colour was called "Plum Baby" and it is number 766. Its more of a pink than a plum, but perfect for summer. I wish they had done more "aussie colors" like yellow, green, blue, red and white. While I love my colour, pink doesn't really scream out to me "aussie." I haven't used Revlon nail polishes in forever, so I'm excited to use this to see the quality of the polish. These are $13.95
Revlon Luxurious Colour Eyeliner/Crayon Colour in Antiqued Gold
I'm really excited to try this! I don't own a gold eyeliner so it will be something really different for me. I love that it comes with the smudger at the end! These are $23.95 each.
The value of the box is incredible!!! It is over $70 worth in the box. I am really happy with all of the items and I like how there was no skincare! I am over getting lots of skincare. If there was purely a make up box I would sign up in a second.
Great job ILTB! Can't wait to see what is in the next one......maybe pinks and reds for Valentines Day :)
It was a great box this month! I got the strawberry lip balm, a peachy pink nail polish (mock snob) and my linden leaves product was a 70ml size aromatherapy body oil. I have to agree about the eyeshadow brushes..you can NEVER have too many. I'm super happy with the box this month. I already cant wait for the next one...yes, im addicted!!!
ReplyDeleteHow cool! I didn't get mine yet but couldn't resist a peak. The brush looks amazing xx
ReplyDeleteI am sooo excited to receive mine now as well... I just had to have a cheeky look though lol xx
ReplyDeleteKylie, I had a look and saw your nail polish colour when I was at the shops today and its pretty!
ReplyDeleteIngrid and Missbecky, I hope you love your boxes. I am also so cheeky and always look for spoilers on the boxes hahahhaa. So it was really nice to be completely surprised :)
Oh this looks sooo good! I can't wait for my box to arrive!
ReplyDeleteI got the same coloured nail polish which I really like, I got a revlon matte white eyeliner instead of the gold. I got the vanilla lip balm like you and I got a 85ml gingseng and orange blossum lotion instead of the foot spray. Loved this box!!!
ReplyDeleteStephanie - let us know what colours and flavours you had in your box when you get it :)
ReplyDeleteBlack Magic - ohhhhh the orange blossom lotion sounds DELICIOUS! :)
Just a quick query - I'm new to the box craze and VERY excited. I ordered on 29th Dec - do you think I will get the January box (which I really want from seeign all your awesome goods!) or will it be the Feb box do you think?
ReplyDeleteGood news Jessiegirl, you'll get a Jan box :) The cut off is the last day of the month. So since you signed up in Dec you get the Jan box. Let me know if your box was different XO
ReplyDeleteI couldn't help take a peek, I'm a sucker for spoilers! Hope my box hurry's up so I can see whats in it!
ReplyDeletePerfect timed reply - I got an email from I love this box this arvo saying it's on it's way! Also - just wanted to let you know that I love your blog - I'm coming to it everyday. Will let you know what I get! xo
ReplyDeleteThanks Jessiegirl! That means a lot to me XO
ReplyDeleteJimmi lou - let us know what colours you got! :)
Thanks for sharing your post with me! It's great to see the different colours/variations you received. I thought it was a great box! Kate xo
ReplyDeleteMy box arrived today - I love that it was 5 full products. I'm a little disappointed with a couple of my things; my revlon nail colour is called 'Emerald City' and is a Matte Suede green that I would never wear (or re-gift) and my Linden product was the conditioner. At only 85 mls (tiny) I find it hard to believe they charge $10.95 for it (which the website states) as I think it would do 3-4 washes and it states it is suitable for everyday use? Other than that (it's certainly not all bad) great value for money! I got the violet eye liner and strawberry lip balm too which are both great. What's some good ideas on how to wear a violet eye liner? xo
ReplyDeleteOhhhh Jessiegirl that's sad you're a bit disappointed. It is hard when you get small samples of haircare and skincare. You normally need to use it for a week or two too get the best results.
ReplyDeleteI got it yesterday, got the aromatherapy body oil, strawberry lip balm, white eye pencil and the sheer blossom nail polish! My posts are up if you want to see my opinions on them!
