As a Jolie Box ambassador sometimes I received my box a little earlier than some
and as it arrived this morning I thought some may like to see what is inside this months box?
I must stress that I have not tested any of the items other than those that are products I have tried in the past.
So what was inside the box?
Marvis Classic Strong Mint Toothpaste 10ml Sample
Toothpaste is a fairly odd inclusion to a beauty box wouldn't you agree?
None the less I have tasted a little and have to agree with the strong mint claim...holy smokes it is minty!
The 10ml size is good for travelling or for those who like to brush their teeth when out and about,
I can't be the only one who carries a toothbrush around, can I?
Topicream Sparkling Body 3D Effect Body Lotion 15ml Sample
This is such a beautiful product, inside the black tube is a light slightly fruity body lotion
that when applied disperses tiny flecks of golden shimmer.
This product is perfect for the upcoming party season and would look wonderful applied to the
decollage or down the shin bones, truthfully this is the only product in the box I would re-purchase.
Dead Sea Spa Magick Gentle Cleansing Facial Wash 25ml Sample
As I recieve a good few beauty boxes I have encountered this brand and this particular product countless times and sadly I am not a fan, I strongly dislike the scent Dead Sea Spa Magick products have
and have yet to find a product from the brand I enjoy.
Vav Manucure Absolue Hand Cream 2ml Sample
This seems a nice enough product but sadly as it is only a 2ml sample it is very hard to pass proper judgement I would have liked a small sample tube rather than a sachet but hey you can't win them all.
Jane Iredale Glow Time BB Cream 2ml Sample
Again a sachet which once more is slightly disappointing as I would have liked to tested it out fully,
from the sachet I can tell you that the BB Cream has a nice consistency - not too thick nor thin
and does seem to have a nice dewy finish.
Yardley Royal Daisy EDT 1ml Sample
Yardley Daisy is a lovely light yet fresh floral scent and a scent I wore fairly religiously last Spring.
It is a scent that I feel will take most by surprise as I feel we all have preconceptions about Yardley
and its products - a granny brand but give this scent a try I doubt you'll be disappointed.
This months box has left me on the fence, I liked a good few products within but felt that the sample sizes
were a little too small and not adequate enough to properly test out.
Are you looking forward to opening your box?

I de-subbed from Jolie Box a few months ago, and none of the reviews i've seen since have convinced me to sign back up. I'd definitely be on the fence with this box too.
ReplyDeleteYikes that's a paltry amount of products. So glad i don't sub to any sample boxes anymore. I honestly think they're all having a laugh taking people's money and giving nothing much in return. I

Yikes, this is a dreadful box! I am eagerly awaiting my Glossy Box, I have high hopes!

What an awful box. I really wouldn't have been impressed with this, especially after see what some Glossy Box subscribers got!
ReplyDeleteI thought JB were supposed to be the better of the bunch.not good this month at all! Th Yardley came in th November SSB box too
ReplyDeleteI'm just not a fan of any of those boxes. I really like to pick and choose my makeup myself.
ReplyDeleteRight I'm unsubscribing!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you posted this missy! I suspended my account last month just because I need money (more moneys for GDO!!) and I was gonna reactivate it for this box, I wont be doing that now, looks terrible!

Looks like a pretty unexciting box, boxes seem so old now, no appeal for me!

Its going down the nick, fast. X
ReplyDeleteIt looks awful this month :( I hate Royal English Daisy.
ReplyDeleteOh that looks rubbish, not excited about it at all and not looking like good value for money!
ReplyDeleteWow that looks disappointing. I haven't tried Jolie but recently resubscribed to Glossy Box and am ridiculously excited for my November box to arrive x
ReplyDeleteWoah this is seriously disappointing... I guess I will retract what I said about always being thrilled with Joliebox! :( xo
ReplyDeletethanks for this review, Im becoming more disappointed with jolie box every month lately and have been considering cancelling, this has made my mind up and after dec, i will no longer get them, its a waste of £10 a month and I could spend this money elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteThis box is terrible! I always thought they were the more decent of the lot but this is an appalling selection. Even worse than the latest She Said Beauty. I'm tempted to send it back for a refund but after postage costs I'm not sure i can be bothered. Awful.
ReplyDeleteI got the same but without the perfume sample! Terrible box! x
ReplyDeleteI got that box and it's absolutely disgraceful. The contents are worth about £5 (I worked it out). Considering we paid £12 for the box, they're taking a piss.
ReplyDeleteI have just received my box and am hugely disappointed. I saw your post and thought maybe they'll drastically alter the box after you posted (wishful thinking, after I saw how rubbish the contents of your box were!) Alas, my box came today and it's terrible! How they can justify sending samples that amount to less than the price of the subscription I do not know! x
ReplyDeleteI got this box this morning and I hate it! Plus my BB cream teeny sample was ripped and there was nothing inside it and I was missing the toothpaste! Also the person who delivers the box keeps leaving it outside, even when there are people home and the box and Jolie Mag are always soaked! 100% going to cancel now! Awful x
