Today I received my November SheSaid Beauty Box. Every month I always feel I receive mine quite late compared to everyone else?? From reading the 'Sneak Peek' on the website I was quite excited about finally getting my box......
Here's what was inside...
So....?
Brit Body Spray So....?
Reminds me of being at school and getting those tiny perfume sets from Boots every Christmas....so has much changed with them?? The simple answer is no! I'm not keen on the smell; it smells too much like talcum powder and flowers for my liking and much more suited to someone of a 'younger' age than mine. One thing I do like is the design on the can......very patriotic.
Weleda
Wild Rose Smoothing Night Cream
'Smoothing night cream, with oil from organically grown rose mosqueta seeds, aid the regeneration of the outer layer of the skin during the night'.
I already have this cream, I think from a latest in beauty box so I'm not likely to use this one. I'm not fond of rose scented products and worry that they will play havoc with my sensitive skin. I wish I could give a better review of this product, but the whole 'rose' thing is just too much for me.
Redken
Smooth Lock Shampoo & Conditioner
'Smooth lock shampoo cleanses, refreshes and nourishes hair with smoothness while smooth lock conditioner eases detangling and instantly helps improve manageability with frizz-free smoothness and luscious looking shine'.
I'm looking forward to trying this, although sometimes shampoo and conditioner can just be shampoo and conditioner but sometimes it can do something magical to your hair.....lets wait and see.
Makebelieve
Enhance Shimmer Lip Gloss
'Indulgent moisturising lip gloss for a luscious pout with a hint of shimmer. Apply to the lips for a natural looking enhanced pout or over your preferred lip colour'
There were 3 products on offer from 'Makebelieve' this month; Sunbeam Bronzer and Brush, luminize Skin Highlighter and this lipgloss, out of the 3, the lipgloss was the one I was hoping I wouldn't get! Apparently the gloss is designed to enhance your 'Makebelieve' tan......um tan, what tan? There's too much shimmer in this for me, it's very VERY sticky and smells like synthetic orange. The bonus is that's its full size and worth £10 alone.
Yardley
Royal English Daisy Eau De Toilette
'An elegant dewy fresh, green floral fragrance, reminiscent of flower filled meadows in the spring sunshine. It opens with a burst of energetic top notes in the form of fresh green leaves and apple, combined with a heart hyacinth and white roses, enhanced with warm base notes of sandalwood and musk'
I'm sorry but Yardley just makes me think of nanny perfume and doesn't belong in a beauty box. I LOVE getting perfume samples in a beauty box but not from a brand that is associated with the nana label. It's a very fresh and floral scent and not one I would wear. Think this one shall be passed on to the mother, along with the previous Yardley perfume sample SheSaid palmed us off with!
Murrays Manicure
MatchBook Nail Files.
This was my 'SSB Treat'. 15 tiny sized nail files, small enough to fit in your purse however I would have preferred if these had come in some kind of 'matchBook' covering, as once out of their plastic sleeve they will have the ability to scratch up the contents of your purse or bag.
-------------------------------
Having seen the sneak peek from the SheSaid website I've got to say I'm not impressed with my box. Yes the total value of the box compared to the sub price is good but I would have preferred some of the other products on offer. I know this is the deal with beauty boxes and you can't pick and choose, but I can still be disappointed that I didn't get the products I would have liked. On another note it seems that new subscribers also got the 'Collection; Primed and Ready smoothing Makeup Primer". Yes I know that regular subscribers got this a couple of months ago but what happened to looking after the subscribers you already have??? Bad show SheSaid :(
Are you a subscriber of SheSaid? What did you think of this months box?
