JOLIEBOX (june)

First things first, I know it's now July, but JolieBox had some delivering difficulties so I only received my box today. Its still always a nice surprise to get a beauty box, so I'm always happy on the day I get one. Its JolieBox's first birthday, so they decided to produce a limited edition box. I love the design of the box, it's so cute :)

The items in the box;

1. Elysambre lipstick

2. Institut Esthederm body lotion

3. L'Occitane cream

4. Yon-ka cream

5. Jolie nail file

1) ELYSAMBRE - LIPSTICK IN 108
- Elysambre's gentle Makeup and Nail ranges were made using innovative technologies and features all-natural vegetal active ingredients.
-Its a nude-brown that personally I love but I'm not sure if it would suit all skin tones. I know that other people have received different shades that they haven't necessarily loved. It did take me a while to figure out how to even open this lipstick, and it's definitely an evening lipstick.

2) INSTITUT ESTHEDERN - BRONZ REPAIR BODY LOTION
- This lotion battles damage caused by the sun and reduces signs of ageing, whilst also helping skin achieve a healthy glow.
- This spray can be applied before or after makeup, as well as all over the body. I find it strange that it doesn't have an SPF since its to be used in the sun but apart from its a great product. I am very conscious of the damage that the sun does to my skin, and constantly like to apply suncream to my face and body, so I'm definitely really interested in this product and see its affects. Its a clear spray, that's lightly scented and soaks quickly into the skin.

3) L'OCCITANE - ANGELICA HYDRATION CREAM
- A smooth facial cream that reinforces natural skin hydration and leaves skin looking radiant and fresh.
- I absolutely love L'Occitane, so was thrilled to see something from them in the box! Its a really light moisturiser, so if you have oily skin, this is suitable for you. Its very moisturising and doesn't have a strong scent, so not overwhelming. It contains organic angelica water and essential oil which is the source of why this cream is so hydrating. The results are meant to be plump, smooth and radiant, which I cannot yet comment on.

4) YON-KA - PAMPLEMOUSSE PROTECTIBE AND VITALIZING CREAM
- This lightweight facial cream protects skin from external factors, making complexions look hydrated and bright.
- This facial cream is full size, but I think it is a little strange for JolieBox to put two facial creams in one box. This one is customised (if you filled in your beauty profile) to your skin type. It smells amazing and is a really thick consistency. I'm not sure why I received the 'normal to oily skin' one, when I put in my beauty profile that I have extremely dry skin, oh well never mind.

5) JOLIE BOX - NAIL FILE
- You can't go wrong with a new one. Its your average double sided nail file, one side pink other white.



Also included in the box is...
-A voucher for Codage where you can receive 30% off their products online.
-A free delivery from the Jolie website.
-A free Angelica cleanser (worth £16) when you buy a full-size Angelica moisturiser.
