Here is my first Jolie box!!
My first impressions were initially a bit wary as they had issues with the dispatch email and then the news they'd been bought by Birchbox left me wandering had I joined too late as previously I've seen consistently good reviews BUT!!! I'm impressed!!
I won't bore you with what I got because this review is really late owing to my total lack or organisation this month the only thing different in my box was an extra gift of the So Susan Wide Awake Face Palate a little welcome gift from JolieBox so thank you for that much appreciated!!
My favourite items in the box were the Balmi Lip Balm which I received in mint flavour. I love this its cute, Its round and the balm inside is molded to the lid so is round too!! Easy to apply and so far no dry lips just nice soft moisturised lips which is nice! Has a little thing to attach it to your keys if you should wish but mine fits snuggly in my pocket.
The second item I loved was the Twistband. I received two one silver one yellow and I love them! However I don't love the price.
I think £10 for six of these is extortionate. They are basically Elastic trim or foldover elastic as its sometimes called, which you can buy two meters of in your favourite colour for about £2 on ebay and if you go to your local haberdashery store maybe even less. Thats what I did I bought 2 meters of red,blue and black and have made a huge pile of these bands for less than they want for six........ nuff said!
I like the packaging of Joliebox, the little drawstring bag is a nice touch and reuseable I hate that glossybox and the others always fill the space with that shredded tissue its very wasteful and this is a nice alternative. I also really liked the little magazine that comes with it, It had interesting and relevant articles in it so yes big thumbs up.All in all a good first box and I've just received Octobers box so I shall be uploading that soon.
