January - Carmine Beauty's Best In A Box Review


Before I start blogging what's in the the box of January please let me tell you a short review about Carmine Beauty's Best In A Box.

Carmine Beauty's Best In A Box is the version of Birchbox in USA. You'll pay £10 (+p&p*) per month as part of your monthly subscription and you will receive 5 different beauty samples in different brands. Two to three of their products are in full size then the rest are pretty decent amount sample size. You can unsubscribe whenever you like, no hassle at all. I am a subscriber since they first started. And as a subscriber of Carmine, they haven't disappoint me yet. I love every single products that they sent me even though I haven't tried some of them because I don't need it but you can give it to someone whose needing it or you can give it as a gift to your loves ones! Aside from that, the retail price for each of them are pretty damn pricey and your only paying £10 for the beauty box..? So, I can't really complain. :D

Anyway, lets jump in the January Box! This month I received false eyelashes, moisturisers, make up and bath salt.. 


Now, the first product that I am really into it is the false eyelashes. I love love this one, its absolutely pretty and I can't wait to wear it at the party! Hmm.. maybe this Valentine's Day I can wear it in our dinner date with my hubby! It's not a bad idea. :)


The second one is.. KORRES, Wild Rose 24-Hour Moisturising & Brightening Cream. This one I really need because I have discolouration in my skin these days caused by blemishes. So its a perfect timing. I'm hoping this organic wild rose will repair my complexion. I already had a go this morning.. So will see the result in the future!


And the third is.. Eyeko Fat Eye Stick in Satin Taupe. Now, what I love about this product is you can use this as a base before you put eyeshadow and you can also create a perfect smokey eyes. So, I really love this one..!!


Next.. "Highly emollient yet super absorbent, our 100% naturally active face oil enhances skin lacking in lustre with a rich, repleneshing blend of highly moisturising ingredients including Amazonian buruti nut, camellia, rosehip, yarrow and benzoin oils, to help smooth away the visible signs of ageing." -- I don't need this. I'll just probably give this to someone.. sounds good stuff though :)


Last.. "Straight from the Himalayan mountain range, this natural, mineral-rich treasure will transform a 30 minute soak in the bath into a detox that's equivalent to a 3-day fast! So you can relax, refresh and repeat!-- I finished the whole pocket (100g) last night when I had a bath. It's actually cool seeing the dirts left when I was draining the bath. I know sounds yucky but yeah it seems really working and nice detox for your body. I don't know if I will purchase it though even its only £2 per 500g. Maybe I will..


Okay I think that's it guys. Hope you like this review and I'll catch you later! Bye. x

Glamour Magazine Review

As a subscriber of Glamour Magazine, I get lots of freebies! It makes me happy when they compliment their subscribers.


Previously they sent me NAILS INC. Polish which will cost you more than a tenner for one of these. Great quality and I love this brand!


Couple of years ago they sent me two Matrix Biolage in full size which amazing!
Matrix Biolage Deep Smoothing shampoo
Matrix Biolage Ultra Control Deep Smoothing Masque

And this two as well; BEAUTY BRILLIANCE, Multipurpose Highlighter Stick from MINERS COSMETICS. At first I haven't got a clue what's this for. I only find out recently that I can put this for my cheek as highlight. :D

Now I renewed my subscription this year. They sent me these stuff from RITUALS.. I couldn't believe when I googled the price. Its a lil bit pricey!

DUO EYESHADOW, ROSY DUSK £14.90

SUPER SHINE LIP GLOSS, SUGAR ROSE £10.90

COLOUR CONTOUR EYE PENCIL, BLACK £6.75-£7.50

For the total of £32.55/£33.30 for the whole thing is pretty damn good. I'm so delighted!


I post this review for Glamour Magazine because I love what's inside it. I love discovering new beauty products, new trends, new style, ideas or what so on.. And I only paid £6 for six months subscription which saved me £6 buying Glamour Magazine from the stands for £2 each edition. Plus you'll get freebies as part of your subscription. So if you love reading beauty magazine and wants to receive free stuff then try Glamour. I really recommend it! I'll say its a great beauty bible and also amazing freebies beautiful ladies..!! x
