DISCLAIMER:
This box was purchased with my own money, I did not get it for free or any compensation form the company for reviewing this box. The review of this box is simply my honest opinion, nothing more. Thank you.
I was so excited for the 20th Anniversary this month since Marie Claire has been hyping this up like crazy so I decided to order my first box!
Since this is my first box, I don't know what the normal size and weight is but this box seems substinally bigger and heavier than a Bella Box or a Lust Have It Box so I was pleasantly surprised.
The packaging is so pretty!
The contents~
John Frieda Frizz Ease Smooth Start Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner $15.99 each
Seeing the shampoo and conditioner solved the mystery of this quarter's heavy box. Honestly, I find them kind of disappointing since I feel iffy about things containing oil since I have oily hair but I'm going to try them anyways.
Redwin Coconut Balm $5.99
This balm is an organic balm that can be used on lips as well as dry and cracked skin. Firstly, the coconut smell is lovely and summery which I really enjoy. However, I don't really feel like this belongs in a spring box as it's not usually moisturiser season (for me anyways). I would've preferred a light facial moisturiser or SPF or something instead.
St. Tropes Gradual Tan In Shower 200ml for $39.99
I never tan and I doubt I ever will so I have no use for this. I'm disappointed in this product as I feel as it's a bit generic and boring and sadly something not everyone can use.
MOR Rosa Noir Hand and Body Milk $34.95
Another moisturiser type product... As I said before, I'm not really a moisturiser person in spring/summer so as lovely as this smells, I'm saving this for autum/winter.
Clinique Smart Custom-Repair Serum 30ml for $80
Awww yiss! A serum, one of my loves along with sheet masks. I'm very excited to try out this product although I'm very skeptical of its claims. A serum that detects your skin's needs and address them sounds kind of crazy but I would love so much for it to work!
L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Lipstick $21.95
I got the colour Mon Jules, a deep berry shade which I feel would be more of an autumn/winter colour rather than a spring/summer colour. When I think of spring and summer I personally think of peaches and corals rather than deep colours. The colour looks quite pretty but I think I'm going to save it for the colde months.
Estée Lauder Modern Muse Le Rogue EDP 50ml for $120This perfume smells quite lovely! It's a fruity floral and I think would be a beautiful date night perfume~ I'm very happy to get this and really enjoy it.
Final Thoughts:
Overall I feel some of these products don't really belong in this box. For a first box, I felt kind of disappointed especially with how much they hyped it up. Honestly, I expected more for a 20th Anniversary Box but I will still consider getting another one despite the disappointment I feel.
