Beneath the Lid; December JolieBox


Decembers JolieBox is here, so lets…………….


(A little pre post warning before I begin; when I started this post it was 3.30 in the morning, I couldn’t sleep and at the time it seemed like a good idea to get up and do something, meaning this! Hmmmm! So this post will be short and not as much detail as previous beauty box posts, because I now want to go back to bed but cant leave this unfinished as I have to drive six and a half hours tomorrow to go and get my mum for Christmas.  So please excuse any mad ramblings, dodgy pictures and spelling mistakes. Ta!)

Decembers JolieBox is entitled ‘All that glitters….’, a box with party-prep from head to toe in mind.

Lets go beneath the lid….





Bellapierre
Shimmer Powder

The colour I got is Tin Man, a silvery sparkly shimmer.  Bit too shimmery for me and I’m dubious on its staying power? Time shall tell! But great for the party season.







Dr Duve
Hand & Decollete Cream

Didn’t we have a hand cream sample in last months box? Its suppose to minimise fine lines and provide lasting moisture but again it’s a sachet so meh!




I Love….Cosmetics
Shimmer and Shine Lip Gloss

So it really is about shimmer this month, thought it was suppose to be glitter? Shimmer to me is totally different! The gloss is called strawberries & milkshake as rather surprisingly that’s what it smells like.  It’s a soft pink shimmer, nice and subtle.



Agua De Colonia Concentrada
Alvarez Gomez

This is the oldest Spanish perfume, a blend of lemon, thyme, lavender, eucalyptus, geranium and rosemary aromas.  I don’t know about you but the packaging makes me think of tequila?  Tequila, it makes me happy…..unfortunately the smell of this doesn’t!




Colour Club
Insta-this Nail Polish

This is one of the 2 exclusive shades made for JolieBox and unfortunately the shade I was hoping I wouldn’t get!  It’s a blue/purple shade; no shimmer no sparkle, plane and a bit disappointing.






Olay
Regenerist Skin Cream

Another beauty box, another Olay sample.  Nuff said!






Special bonus and Christmas prezzie from JolieBox……

Lindt
CHOCOLATE

Mmmmmmm yummy…..now get in my belly!

So that Decembers JolieBox.  Was expecting a bit more for a Christmas box, however the packaging this month is uber cute but is totally focused on giving a subscription to someone as a present……’here, have a monthly beauty box that sends mostly sample sizes and sachets most of which you wont like or use! Happy Christmas’, I think not!
A few pics of this months lovely packaging....








Im off to bed now, sorry for the short one.  Night all.
