New Beauty Box!

I got an extra special beauty box delivered on Saturday. 

Nardine from Live...Laugh...Love agreed to put together one of her fabulous boxes for a few of us who met on the Beauty Box Swaps page to see what she could do with the same amount of money that we pay to other beauty box companies.

We paid her £13.30 including postage and this is what I got in my box....


She personalised all our boxes

Wrote us all little notes

Wowzers!

(Sorry for the funny angle on this pic, I took it with my iphone and I can't get it to rotate - if anyone knows how to do it please comment below!)

I laughed when I opened the box at the Oh Henry chocolate bar.  Henry is our naughty dalmatian and Nardine knows how much mischief he gets into so this was a really funny personal touch.
Nail goodies!
OPI Cuticle oil - this comes in a twist up applicator and I'm going to take this to work and put it on my desk so I remember to use it a few times a week.
Body Shop Nail File - this is perfect for my handbag, big and bright enough so it doesn't get lost in the bottom of my bag.
Orly mini polish in Witches Blue - I really like small size polishes and I haven't got this colour.

Naked Boost Revitalising Hair Treatment - I love a nice hair mask and this is 97% natural. As my hair is only shoulder length I will probably get two uses out of this sachet.

Three Vanedo paper face masks 
Collagen
Red Ginseng
Marine Algae

A black eyeliner 
Wet n wild Mint Infused Lip tint with SPF15
BB Cream Pearl Luminous
The gloss is a lovely colour and smells really minty.

I've never seen an eyeliner like this before! Its like a big black crayon.

The BB cream is nice and pale so suits my skin tone, it leaves a lovely sheen on the skin.


I really like and will use everything in the box :)


She also put this funny book in my box! 
It really does sum up naughty Henry!

  4. I enjoyed this post :) I think Sleek do (or did) an eyeliner similar to that and the nail file body shop is really good. I got one a few years ago with the matching buffer and they last a looooooong time. I think I still have the buffer :D

    I want Henry to come and play with Millie, I think they would have a ball :D

    1. Is Millie a dalmatian too? Henry is getting much better behaved but he does have days where he does nothing but cause mayhem! x
