This month's box theme: Fame and Good Fortune. What Carmine say:
"They say that everyone in life will get their 15 minutes of fame, and well it looks like that very special time is finally here. This month's box is famous. (Yes, famous.) Every product in the box is somehow linked to a celebrity - from Nicola Roberts to Lulu to Bono and Adele. So, enjoy this month's fabulous products and the spotlight - without the paparazzi!"
What's inside?
1. Lulu's Time Bomb Flashback Night Cream: An overnight anti-aging cream. This is a lovely consistency, not too thin and not overly thick. It contains 'powerful phytoplids, botanicals and vitamins for truly intense moisture and dramatic results.' It's very moisturising and smells amazing! The Flashback cream is so relaxing, with notes of lavender - perfect for just before bed! It's supposed to work it's magic whilst you sleep leaving a 'fine rice bran and wax formula on your skin, so you wake-up looking fresh and well rested.' Full size: 45 ml - £30.75
2. New CID i-Pout Lipstick in 'Very Cherry': I really have loved using this lipstick - deffinately not a shade for the feint hearted as it's a deep, dark wine colour. However, I personally have rather enjoyed braving the strange looks for these perfectly vampy lips! (See the photo below of me wearing it!) It's equipped with a built-in mirror and light, making this little stick of colour the perfect makeup companion for any woman on the go. This lippy is also packed with nourishing vitamin E, making it incredibly moisturising! Full size: £15.00
3. Dainty Doll Eyeliner Pencil in Shade '004': Nothing super special to report on this one. A lovely turquoise colour but I've found it quite hard and difficult to apply without feeling scratchy! It's a nice colour but just not a fan of the formula. I prefer much softer kohls. It does smudge great though so perhaps could be used as an eyeshadow base? One interesting fact about it is that it actually contains skin-loving antioxidants and vitamin E. Ooh la la! Full size: £10.50
4. NEOM Organics Real Luxury Body Lotion: The smell of this body lotion is divine! I am considering purchasing the full size ;) it really is one of those scents that leave you feeling pampered and clean. One whiff of this and I am calm and soothed. It is made up of all organic ingredients and contains lot's of lavender and jasmine. The consistency is lovely, soaks in nice and fast and didn't leave my skin feeling sticky. Lovely and moisturising too. Full size: 240ml - £23.50
5. Cosmetics A La Carte Brow Ink - Taupe: Mixed opinions on this one. I think because of the fact that mine has pretty much dried up already! A great idea though and the concept of such a precise felt tip brow pen is fabulous. It really has a lot of potential and if mine wasn't so dry it would have been one of my favourite products for a quick, easy and natural looking brow. It's a smudge proof semi-permanent formula and delivers the finest of points, allowing you to actually draw in tiny individual hairs. Can also be used a liquid liner! Full size: 1.2ml £22.00
