So, the first item to catch my eye was, of course, the largest. Its the 'Avado' Sensitives Organic Gel Exfoliant. This product contains a heap of natural oils and some avocado oil. It smells amazing. The combination of the oils is refreshing and not overpowering at all. This retails for $14.99 and is a full sized product.
Next, the Chikii Natural Salon Quality Mineral Cosmetcs - "Embrace" Mineral Blush. Also a full sized product (glad I have a couple of 10g makeup jars sitting around so I can depot!). Retails for $40.00 (omg!). This blush is super pigmented and, super cute! Its a lovely dusty/pinky/mauve colour (if that makes any sense at all!) and has glitter in it too. I'm not normally a fan of glitter, but I will give this a go. It could maybe be used as an eyeshadow too. Being a mineral product, it shouldn't be a prob!
Shanga - Mineral Eyehsadow. I recieved the colour 'Orchid'. Its a lovely dark mushroom colour, slightly hard to describe, but extremely wearable. The claim is that its infused with 'anti-aging' minerals - but honestly, I don't think I'd use it as often as required to see any kind of result! Beautiful in the crease or as an 'all-over, by-itself' product. Its another full sized product and retails for $24.95
The Maybelline - Colour Sensational Lipcolour. The colour I received is #645 Red Revival and all I can say is WOW!!! I would call it a Cherry Red. I have never in my life worn a red lipcolour. My husband encouraged me to try this on and I was pleasantly surprised. I think if I were to go out or want to do a 'pin-up' look, this would be the colour for it! Its incredibly creamy. This lipstick glides on your lips like a lipbalm, its that smooth. Maybe I should wear it around a bit to get used to the colour??
This lipcolour retails for $16.95
Last but, certainly not least, is the Just D'Lish - Gift Wrap Soap. Mine is Sage & Pomegranate. The packaging on this soap is super adorable. A lovely green textured paper that looks handmade also, and a slip with the product details on it. It contains various oils and also Shea Nut. I'm keen to try this one out when I relax in a bath next!
So. This months Box has impressed me as much as they all have. From the cute packaging, to the amazing products - its money well spent. For my $14.95 subscripton this month, I have recieved $101.89 worth of beautiful, sparkly, aromatic, creamy, pigmeted gifts! Thank you ILoveThisBox!!!! Looking forward to next month, and the month after that, and the month after that... !!
PS!!! I forgot to mention the dividers that came with this months box aswell! In the spirit of being a mainly organic, 'getting back to nature' theme, this months box also comes with cardboard strips to turn your box into a jewellery box, makeup organiser etc. Very clever if you ask me. I have used a couple of the lids from previous boxes to corral eyeliner pencils and other tubular type items together in my makeup storage drawers, so I can see the benefit of being able to re-use these wonderfully strong little boxes!
That is all. ;o)
