I love this company!! Yesterday I got an email from SheSaidBeauty saying the June Beauty Box had been posted and then this morning there in the Postman's hand was the hot pink box announcing it's arrival!!
So What did I get??? Well in mine was a Yardley Perfume sample 1ml, A Balance Me hand cream (full size!), Elemis bath Elixir 50ml, St Tropez Gradual Tan Body Moisturiser 75ml, Let's Go Lashes, and a bonus sample of Ginerva Green Tea Nude Cover BB Cream.
I love the St Tropez Moisturiser, my sample is Medium to Dark which I wouldn't have bought, I would have gone for the light but I love it!! I've wapped some on my legs and obviously no immediate results but it smells gorgeous and absorbs well as you'd expect from St Tropez so I'm really pleased with that.
Next up is the Elemis Bath Elixir, I've heard a lot about Elemis but haven't as yet tried any of their products so I can't wait to have a soak later and try it out, I've had a sniff and it does smell slightly masculine but I actually like it so we shall see!
The Balance Me super moisturising Hand cream splits my opinion!! On the one side I do get very dry hands from work as I'm constantly washing my hands or working in water so any hand cream that can keep my skin soft and stop it cracking is welcomed. On the other side I hate Lavender and am very particular about the scents of products I use, I'm really not a herbal smell kinda girl and this smells of Lavender.....But!! I have tried it out and it's made my skin super soft and my problem areas seem instantly softer which to me is amazing and whilst the smell isn't my taste its not horrific and if it can help my poor hands I'm happy to give it a chance so another tick for SSB.
As for the rest of the samples I would rather not have had lashes again I got the same ones in my GlossyBox and whilst these are a better style (No.1!) I'm unlikely to use them plus we had lashes last month. The perfume sample I hate!! I don't like it when they're included as a main sample it annoys me, If I want perfume I'll go to a department store and get the sample for free myself, finally the BB cream is a very small sample but its a bonus so I can't complain, I've not heard of the company but I will try it out as I'm into my BB creams at the moment and the fact its SPF30 would make it ideal for my holiday so I'll have a go and see what I think.
So that was my box, perfume sample aside I liked it I was happy and the main three products I received made the perfume sample less of an issue!!
I really like how SSB communicate well with their customers, the boxes are early rather than late and so far have all been really strong boxes and the fact their cheaper than GB make them all the more appealing.
I haven't used their website properly yet but I'm going to have a play and see what its all about, I've peeped in the past and it does seem to have a community feel with real reviews from real people.
So all in all another great month for SSB, loved my box and the products and will definitely be continuing my subscription :)
this looks a great box (apart from the lashes!) x
