Happy Friday!
So today the very first beauy box from She Said Beauty arrived, been waiting on this baby for about 2 months now. To say i was excited is a slight understatement. I have to say, i'm really pleased with my first box, was worth the wait.
The principle is the same as Glossybox, Carmine, etc- a monthly subscription.
It arrived in a hot pink carboard box with a sweet little sticker:
The box itself is a beautiful sort of duck egg blue (reminds me of Tiffany's packaging), with a magnetic fastening. The products are nestled nicely in straw. It all looks very simple and chic.
Orly Manicure Miniature
I received this in the colour 'Black Out', i adore black nail polish so this is a hit for me. The colour glides on smoothly and has a very high shine finish. I also received an Orly Nail File.
We Are Faux Eyelashes
Oh you just can't go wrong with eyelashes when it comes to me, i'm a huge fan of them. They are an essential when it comes to nights out, etc. I received ones that are full and flirty, they are called 'Night Hunter'.
Collection 2000 Cream Puff
Now i haven't bought anything from Collection 2000 for years- it's never been a brand that i've been attracted to, so i was a bit disappointed to see this in the box. However i was pleasantly surprised with this. I received a beautiful colour, Cotton Candy. It applies smoothly and dries to a goregeous matt finish. I may just have to invest in a few other colours, it's that good.
Aveda Soot Infusions Trio
Three minis, a shampoo, conditioner and style- prep smoother. I've heard a lot about Aveda but have never tried anything from their range, so i'm excited. From the size of the samples, i'll get maybe two uses out of them.
Comfort Zone Good Night Kit
This is the product i'm least excited about trying mainly just down to owning too many creams, eeek i have them coming out of my ears! I'm also loving my Steam Cream from my Carmine box at the moment so i shall try this at a later date.
Jing Flowring Dragon Eye Tea
A light and fragrant green tea, i gave this to my mother as i don't drink tea. She's a fan of different teas: camomile tea, green tea, she loves them. I shall get her verdict on this later.
So there we have it...
The very first She Said Beauty Box!
If you are thinking of subscribing, they are currently offering you 25% off your first box (for a limited time).
What did you think of the first box, yay or nay?
Looks a good box :) I'm debating whether to subscribe to another one alongside JolieBox. Either this or Carmine...
ReplyDeleteI love the C2000 Creampuff! Have three already lol. I do find that they 'crackle' on your lips after a few hours though xx
Hayley I would defo recommend Carmine, I've been pleased with every box so far.

Oooh I was waiting for a review on this box before I subscribed! It looks amazing. I already subscribe to Glossy, Carmine and Jolie...but may replace Glossy with this one... x
ReplyDeleteHi Steph, I purchased the 3 month gift subscription to see if it's any good. I sub to the same boxes as you :)

Claire, you are the beauty box queen! How many do you sub too? Did you get the stuff I sent you hun? xx
ReplyDeleteOh Amy you make me laugh :) I sub to Carmine, Glossybox & Joliebox. She said is only a gift sub to see what it's like. I was going to ask... Was it the wonderful Chanel foundation sample and the shishedo? My mother opened some packages yesterday she thought were for her...blind as a bat without her spectacles :)

I think it's a pretty good box... The tea is a nice touch, looks interesting. :)
ReplyDeleteOh I wish they had something like these amazing monthly boxes in Canada! Everytime I look them up they're only available in the UK =(.
ReplyDeleteEverything always looks so amazing!

lucky you! those items are gorgeous!

I can't wait for mine to arrive! It looks fabulous, it's also a nice touch that the Orly colours are both lovely, so no-one should feel especially put-out.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous review! xx
The products that you received seem pretty decent, but what is the price of that box?
ReplyDeleteI think the idea of those boxes is great as you get to try out different things, but you can get testers for free behind the counters and I think there will be a lot of product that you won't like and use in the long run. I personally would not subscribe to one.
But hope you enjoy it!
Great blog btw!
Lots of LOVE
