June Joliebox

Bon Anniversaire Joliebox!

Joliebox celebrated it's 1st Birthday in June, so I was very excited to receive mine. This box promised to be packed with a selection of their favourite French skincare products. Due to the shipping troubles, I received mine a little late so better late than never, here's what I received.


1. Yon-Ka Pamplemousse Protective and Vitalizing Cream for Normal to Oily Skin.
I love the fact that this is the first 'customised' box which meant that I recieved this product which was specifically for my oily skin type. This is a really rich moisturiser which doesn't take long to sink into the skin. It has a light citrus scent and feels lovely once applied. I am very keen to see how this works over a period of time, given it is a very generous 50ml I will have a chance to try it out properly.

2. Elysambre Long Eyelashes Mascara.
Although not the colour I would have chosen - a dark plum - I tried out this mascara and didn't have any major issues with it. It is a smaller brush than I usually use - I like them thick - but it applied well and separated my lashes nicely. Once applied it was hard to tell it wasn't black so I can definately get away with this for daily wear. It was also really easy to remove with a gentle eye makeup remover. This is a full size product and one which I shall certainly use up.

3. L'Occitane Angelica Hydration Cream.
Another facial cream, this time for hydration. It feels deliciously indulgent on the skin - a real treat and has a gorgeous fresh scent. If this is as good as it seems this could be the one product from this box I would definately re purchase.

4. I Love My JolieNails Nail File.
An additional non offensive product added in as a little space filler, not exactly luxury but hey, nail files get used.

5. Institut Esthederm Bronz Repair Body Lotion.
The final product is a tanning cream designed for use before and after tanning to help repair sun damaged skin and give a healthy glow. It is the one product I've not used as sadly I have no plans for a summer holiday this year *sob* but I do plan on giving this to my Mum who is returning from her holiday this week, to help moisturise and prolong her tan.

With 3 products which I know I will undoubtedly use up, I am very happy with this month's box.

What did you think of June's Joliebox? What is your favourite Beauty Box?

  2. I've avoided signing up for any beauty boxes in case the products were a total waste with them being a random pick, tempted now though that they are customising them :) x

    1. I agree, I think customising them will attract a lot more customers! x
