Carmine smashs GlossyBox this Feb!

Ok so with trepidation I accepted the hideous Orange box that signals the arrival of Carmine's February box, after the epic fail that was GlossyBox this month I didn't dare hope for anything amazing but how wrong I was!

                                               

Three Full size items, two generous samples and a bonus perfume sample made up this impressive offering and Here is what I got;

Andrea Fulerton Nail Varnish full size in Julia, great product the first coat went on easily smoothly and had great coverage, the colour isn't me but I would defiantly buy. I think you can get this in Superdrug and if not definitely online!!

Balance Me Super Moisturising Body Wash Full Size, so I had a quick shower tried it out really liked how silky it made my skin feel but not so keen on the Herby smell but that's my personal taste I would use it again but I'd probably buy the Rose one just for the smell factor!! I liked last months Balance Me radiance oil so this is nice to compliment that.

SteamCream Tin moisturiser full size, Okay so after 10 minutes of trying to get into the bloody thing I succeeded and yeah its a cream!! Doesn't smell bad absorbs quickly and isn't greasy can be used from head to toe according to the blurb and I think its one for popping in my handbag for on the go moisturising! 

White Glo toothpaste 24g, Unusual to see a toothpaste sample but I kinda like it and lets face it as a tea drinker anything that can help keep my teeth white has got to be good!  

Diego Dalla Palma Lipstick in N0.32 mini sample, Ok well the colours naff on me but the lipstick went on nicely and gave good coverage and is still there now! Not sure I'd buy as I'm happy with my current lippy but it's a quality sample.

Yardley London Peony fragrance sample, Nice touch as an extra but would have been pissed if this had been counted as a sample!! But that's just my fickle self!! Smells ok not sure its one I'd buy but its not terrible.

So yeah that was my box and I'm really impressed, to give Three full size samples made this box extremely good value and they were nice samples. Not everything was to my taste but they were what they should be which is luxury samples from quality brands. 

So big thumbs up to Carmine both boxes from them have been consistently good value and more importantly fair! 

Everyone who subscribes gets the same samples the only variation being the colour/fragrance or design which for me puts them a notch above GlossyBox who just has too much variation in the value and quality of their different boxes. 

I wait to see what March brings and whether GB can redeem themselves!
