It really doesn't seem all that long ago that June's Joliebox hit my doorstep?
Not that I'm complaining surprise goodies in the post never fail to bring a smile to my face!
As I have in the past I will give you a little peek into my Joliebox
and will update in approximately a week with a full review of each item.
I must also apologise that my box is missing the description card
so I have no idea which if any products are full sized.
I will of course do some research etc and clarify on the situation next week in my update.
Nail Girls London Nail Polishes - I received the Gold and Copper shade but I believe some boxes
may have received a silver - luck of draw in this case.
Both look really pretty and are great shades to slick on to compliment my holiday tan
Etat Pur, Active Pur Salicylic Acid 300 - This is to treat spots, blemishes and blackheads
and I truly don't think I have ever been more excited about a skin care product in all my life.
Let's hope it works so I can have my vision of perfect skin!
Wen by Chaz Dean, Sweet Almond Mint Cleansing Conditioner - A really interesting concept you
apply this to the entire scalp and ends (when the hair is wet) and massage to produce a foam
which is very unlike a typical conditioner, perhaps it is just a fancy way of marketing a moisturising shampoo?
Until I have tested it I can not comment but it does have a lovely fresh mint scent.
Jane Iredale Tantasia - Basically a tinted gradual tanning product,
it smells pleasant enough but I do feel that the sample is a little on the skimpy side
and although it says it can be used on the face or body it is not something I would apply to my face.
I shall have to patch test this due to size of sample.
Institut Esthederm Bronz Repair Anti Wrinkle Tanning Cream - I'm a little alarmed that this
has not been clearly marked with an SPF, to my understanding it is a cream that maximising tanning potential
that is to be used on the face, neck and décolletage. I can tell you right now that if it contains no SPF
I will not be testing it but I will do a little research before throwing in the towel!
Joliebox Toe Separator's - Cute little foam toe separator's that help prevent smudging when painting
your tootsies...not much I can really say!
What do you think of this month's box?
Joliebox* is a monthly subscription service, you can find out more - here.
I dont think any of the products were full sized this month, but i got a Etat Pur mask instead of the Salicylic acid so cant be sure. I got the Bronz repair in last months box and still dont completely know what it does.
ReplyDeleteI cant wait to try the conditioner, thought it was quite different!

I think you may have been short changed here, I swear people got 'sorry' products for them being delayed last month

The toe separators are the extra products in everyones box, there's also a second product which differs from box to box, I got a nourishing oil thing. The extra in this box seems to be the institut tanning cream :) x
DeleteI can't wait to hear how the Etat Pur, Active Pur Salicylic Acid is!
ReplyDeleteThe salicylic acid product sounds so good, it's definitely like something I need right now! The nail polish colours are pretty, too. XO
ReplyDeleteI hadnt heard of this box before but the products look interesting. May have to give it a go.

I have the Etat Pur Salicylic Acid and it looks full sized here to me! Be careful with it, it's quite concentrated so can cause blemishes if it isn't applied to the correct area! I made the mistake of applying to it most of my face hoping for miracles and soon realised, it actually made it worse! Then I learnt that less is more.
ReplyDeleteLovely box, I'm quite attracted to Joliebox boxes x
that box looks really good, the etat pur product sounds really iteresting and the gold nail polish is lovely!
ReplyDeletei just did a review of this month's she said beauty box, here - http://cloudsandcuticleoil.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/she-said-beauty-box-july.html

Institut Esthederm rate their tanning and protection products in a different way to standard SPFs, I believe that Ruth at A Model Recommends did a post on this a few weeks ago explaining how they work. Also Lisa Eldridge mentions it in her Sun protection video from a couple of summers ago. The Chaz Dean product has been out for ages- check out the shopping channels for American style infomercial presentations- its a conditioner than is supposed to cleanse your hair at the same time. xxx
ReplyDeleteLove the look of the nail polishes, especially the copper one. It looks like a good range of summery products to get ready for the summer - if only we had hot weather!
ReplyDeleteonly a couple of products I would have used in this one, pretty glad I didn't subscribe! can see how others would like it though

In my opinion this box looks superior to the 'Birthday box' last month (or in my case 2 weeks ago!) I also received the Institut bronze repair last month and wasn't too impressed with it, I don't think it contains any SPF but I'm not 100%

I received the salicylic acid too and also got very, very excited by it! Possibly the most exciting product that I've ever had in a beauty box. It is also full size :) x
ReplyDeleteOoo the Wen and Salicylic acid looks really interesting! I might get this box!
ReplyDeleteThe salicylic acid is full size http://www.etatpur.co.uk/index.php/pure-actives-spots-skin-blemishes-salicylic-acid-300.html
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to trying this product. Hoping to get the mask in my second box which I'm awaiting delivery of. x
Pretty pleased with it too! Skimpy for that little tube of tan is defiantely an understatment! I'm not sure if it would even cover someones hand! So excited to use the hair conditioning treatment though, have you tried anything out yet? x
ReplyDeleteMy review is here if anyone is interested - http://laurenjadem.blogspot.co.uk/
I like how the products are different from other boxes... We frequently see the same products popping in different boxes...
ReplyDeleteI'd like to know about the salicylic acid product!
