Joliebox May 2012





Hi all, and welcome to my Joliebox blogpost. I'm not going to go in to too much detail about each product as I'm sure you've probably already seen quite a few of these posts. The theme for this months box is Joliebox in bloom, it's basically a mix of products with plant and flower ingredients or theme to them.

Essential Care - Organic Moisturiser
You get a 15ml sample of this which I think is ok, I would have liked a bit more but it will give you enough to have a few applications. The moisturiser is paraben, petrochemicals and artificial fragrance free, so that will please paraben haters. I haven't used it yet, but I'll let you know what I think when I have.

Talika - Eye Therapy Patch
This is a re-usable patch that apparently 'instantly smooth's the eye area using extracts of safflower, avocado and rosehip'. Hmmmm, I'm a bit sceptical to be honest, but we'll see. You get one patch in the silver pack.

RMK - Make Up Base
I was really pleased to have this in my box as I love to try out new make-up primers. You get 15ml in a cute little bottle with a silver lid. One of the ingredients in this shea butter which is great for moisturising - hopefully this will be good for my dry skin.

China Glaze - Nail Polish in Drastic
As you've probably noticed by all my nail polish posts, I'm really getting back in to nails and even started with some nail art (watch this space) so I was soooo pleased to receive a China Glaze polish. It's a little dark for my tastes, but I am trying to go a little out of my comfort zone so I'll give it a go.

As you will have noticed, there are only four items in this box when you are supposed to have five. I'm not entirely sure why this is, as even when we've had full sized products before, there's still been five or six products in the box.

Overall I'm happy with what I have in here and I'll be pleased to try everything out. Ok so that's me done for now, but I'll be back soon.

Take care all, byeeeeeeeeeee x :-)

    Hmm, nice products but I would be e-mailing them about the missing product!

    How much is Joliebox? I'm tempted to have a change from my Glossy Box

      I think there was only meant to be four products this month as the card only had details for the four products I received.

      Joliebox is £10.00 and £2.95 delivery the same as Glossy Box x :-)

Orly Top 2 Bottom, 2 coats Ciate Bon Bon,,  Stamping White Konad, Orly in a Snap Top Coat , with flash.  Puja from Cute Nails has set up a new group called We Love Nails . I will be doing a nail challenge every week on a Tuesday. If you'd like to know more,  click here   to check out the post on Puja's blog, This weeks challenge was to do a french or reverse mani, so I got my stamping plates out! I decided to use one of my new freebie polishes as the base colour and I chose Ciate Bon Bon . She is a beautiful purpleish taupe and sooo pretty! I wont go too much in to detail about this polish now, as I have a review of her coming soon!  As above, no flash. For the stamping I used this absolutely gorgeous design from my Bundle Monster plate BM217 with Konad White. The design is actually flowers, but I think it gives a beautiful lacey effect, don't you? I have to admit, I found it a little difficult lining up the design on the right place on my n

My First Experience Of Stamping...

Image
I was really eager to get stamping away when my new plates arrived so I waited until my little girl Gracie was in bed and got all my nail things out. I have to say that I did think I was going to get it straight away and I got very frustrated that it wasn't coming out perfect straight away until some other people told me that you just need to practice a few times. I wasn't sure whether I should post the pics as it was a massive fail, but actually it's good for other newbie stampers such as myself to see what my experience has been like. So to start off with I had a little lap tray with all the equipment I needed and covered it with some kitchen roll as I'd heard this can get quite messy. Then I picked out a stamping plate, the one I chose was BM210. Next was to decide which polish I wanted to stamp with, well that wasn't too much of a choice as I wanted to use one of my new Konad Special Polishes and I only had them in black or white, so I chose white.
