#2 Carmine

January 31, 2012


I’ve had this post ready to go live for days, whoops. I kept getting distracted by other things. So anyway, here’s the January Carmine box review, this is my first ‘surprise’ box and I was happy with all the goodies we got this month. As always there are a few things I’m not fussed about (2x moisturisers) but overall I was happy with the selection. My favourite goodies were the Eyeko fat eye stick & the Eldora eye lashes. I get far more excited about makeup treats than I do skin care products. I’m still glad I chose Carmine as my beauty box, although having said that this months Glossy Box did look quite good as it had a few beauty products included. I think i’ll carry on with the Carmine monthly box for a while, but I may eventually just start gifting myself the ones I like (as I did with the December box) as that way you know exactly what you are getting and can mix to whichever beauty box you fancy each month.
What do you think of this months box? Do you receive Carmine or any other beauty boxes, which is your favourite?

      Hey!

      My favourite has to be Glossy box.. have you recieved yours? I was lucky and got the two Clarins products in mine.

      I am also waiting on the Carmine box to arrive it will be my first box.. but I managed to get it for £5.75!

      Not too sure on the bath salts in this one to be honest..and the rest of the bits.

      Check out my review of the glossy box for january / february 2012

      Hugs

      I have a voucher for a half price Carmine box but if I’m honest it doesn’t overly appeal at the moment anyway: I don’t take baths (shower girl), don’t use falsies etc etc

      I had subscribed to Feel Unique and gave it 3 months then cancelled as I was just gettig more and more annoyed as the months went on that I hadn’t recieved 1 item I would maybe use! So changed and just recieved my first ever Glossybox. I’m quite impressed so we’ll see how we go ;-)

      This looks good but I got the korres in a jolie box a few months ago!
      So disappointed about my glossy box this month. Blogged about it and cancelled my sub!
