This month
I decided to try out a box just like I have previously with the likes of
Birchbox and Glossybox however this one is not only for beauty lovers. I am of
course talking about the Pink Parcel which is a monthly box created around
your period. Simply put in the details
of when your period is due, when its easiest to ship out and then choose
preferences like tampons or pads, regular or heavy and finally a brand you use
or want to try. They will then ship it out to you near to your period starting.
The first box you get will cost just £6.99 for that month then followed by £10.50, however whats best about this box is the fact it not only has the essential products in the box but every month there is some extra treats to make your period somewhat comfortable.
This is
anything from beauty to food, since I signed up just before the November box
was finished I got the LOOK Magazine box, this included a whole range of
products in the “for you” box.
Like previously mentioned before the main aim of this is to provide the recipient with period essentials whether you are a pad user only or use tampons. They provide sanitary items and liners in case required, there are a range of popular brands as well such as Tampax and Body Form. The most useful thing that was in the box, I found, was a cute drawstring black pouch which has a selection of pads/tampons and a few liners for on the go.
In the box
was:
SeacretUltimate Hair Trio – This is a cute travel sachet with three products, a Deep
Cleansing Mud Shampoo (10ml) which combines Dead Sea Mud, Argan Oil and silk
protein. A Mineral Rich Reviving Mud Hair Mask (10ml) which helps to restore
lost moisture and reveal a beautiful healthy glow. Finally, in the trio is the
Nourishing Hair Serum (3ml) which claims to “enrich the fibers and creates a
moisture barrier, while enhancing smoothness and soft manageability”. All of
these products are quite expensive £34.95, £79.95 and £79.95, with top reviews
on the actual website I would say these are maybe worth the price depending on
your budget. For me however it’s not something I would purchase after, I will
save this trio for an indulgent night in where I can “treat” my hair.
CiateLiquid Velvet in Pin Up – This Berry liquid velvet “lip slick” is a long
wearing and ultra- vibrant, moistening matte liquid lipstick. The berry shade
that I received is definitely something I would wear, it is in fact long
lasting and conditioning however it does tend to get a tad patchy during the
course of the day. At £17 it is fairly priced with several other liquid
lipsticks you see advertised on the market so I wouldn’t say it’s expensive, I
don’t think I would repurchase. If anything I want to invest in Jeferee Starr
liquid lipsticks ASAP!
RenGlycolytic Radiance Renewal Mask (15ml) – This mask is a cult favourite and
something I have wanted to try for a long time, and it did not disappoint. The
mask removes dead skin cells to “renew”, creating a brighter and more radiant
complexion and also combats blackheads and blemishes. At £32 for 50ml I would
consider it to be perhaps an indulgent purchase (especially for me) but
something I will definitely add to my list.
A sample ofChai Latte Spiced Sachet – This is a sweetened blend of tea, skimmed milk and
spices perfect for a cosy night in. Just simply add the sachet to hot water or
milk dependant on preference and it’s a nice alternative to hot chocolate or
tea. A 250g tub is £2.28 which is a pretty good bargain for someone who likes
warm drinks during winter.
I
absolutely love this service, it is a mash of glossy box and a womans monthly
essentials which works perfectly for me as I can justify paying £10.50 a month
for essentials and more. I think it ticks all the boxes for that time of the
month, chocolate, drink, nail varnish and body polish etc a good range for any
woman. I would 100% recommend to all my friends it makes the time of the month
slightly less annoying and you never know you might even look forward to that
time of the month….
That's all for now my lovely readers,
Leah.
