Showing posts with label beauty products

Hi everybody,

the craze about beauty boxes continue and now I can show you a new brand Carmine. Carmine Beauty Box service went live last week and I've subscribedfew days after launch. Today postmen brought me me a bright orange and red box with carmine logo! Yay! That was fast... After opening the orange box I found elegant black box inside. I had a little trouble to open it because you have to lift the whole lid like with GlossyBox except with Carmine box it's bigger.

If you would like to subscribe to Carmine box, please use this referral link: http://www.carmine.co.uk/0dcO3  It will get me some points towards free box

Right now Carmine has only 5 listed brands but I hope this number will rise in the future.The first carmine box includes 5 items from 5 different brands. so what I got in my box?

Trind Nail Repair Natural
Daniel Sandler Eye Delight in Peach
Balance me Super Moisturising Hand Cream
TheBalm FratBoy – All-in-one shadow/blush
Caudalie Quenching Sorbet-Creme

I like the box and the items but they are not the right shades/types for me so I'll try to swap most of them for better suiting stuff. However I'm very curious about the Trind nail product.

I think I'll stay subscribed for another month and if I'll have items I will need to swap, I might unsubscribe. maybe if there would be more brands, that would keep me interested. What do you think of Carmine box?

It's here! Feelunique October Beauty Box arrived and I couldn't wait to open it!

It comes in a black sleek box with hot pink writing and inside. The box has small drawer with a ribbon on the right and inside you will find all your products. My box theme is Pre-Winter Warmers and I saw on another blog that there is at least one different box. So not every subscriber will receive the same products. Great for swapping (e.g. HERE) but not so great if you'll fall in love with different box than the one you received.
Well I really like my box! So what was inside? I know you want to peek :)
