MEMEBOX PRINCESS EDITION #2 SLEEPING BEAUTY

Memeboxes arriving thick and fast now! That's part of the intrigue I suppose, you order them without really knowing what is going to turn up unless you look at spoiler's (I don't) and they are bought so far in advance you forget they are coming, hence a glut of 4 all in one day.

This box is full of products designed to be used at night or maybe as a pamper. Another foot pack which is fine, I love them, never tried ReinPlatz so will be interesting to see how they compare to my usual brands.

A neck tightening cream, not sure on this one, they card says the skin on your neck is thinner than on your face hence why it sags so this Vella Neck Tight cream is anti-ageing and says it can be used elsewhere on the body. I will try this over next couple of weeks and report back.

There is also an eye cream packed with collagen and hyloronic acid *my 2 fave ingredients right now* but not only that it contains glacier water! how did they get that back to Korea I will never know, along with 7 different seaweed extracts.

2 Aloe Vera products, an all over body cream and a vaseline type pepperminty waxy cream, my only experience of alow vera is with sunburn so excited to try these.

The last product is a sleeping pack, again a collagen one. I like sleeping packs but have so many on the go that I may swap this one. Again not to shabby a box, if the next lot arrive as good as the ones I've received so far I can see me keep going with meme for a while.

MEMEBOX SPECIAL #49 HAIR & BODY SPA

This is my third memebox and so far they keep pleasing and surprising

The first thing to catch my eye had to be the foot peeling pack by Clean Foot, I have recently ordered the Tony Moly ones but waiting to for them to arrive so I'm intriuged, going to do a bit more research on them both before using them *have seen some pretty ugly pics of the effects*. But I will definately be using them at some point so will report back. I use foot socks all the time so this will be the next step *sorry not funny*

Milky Dress shampoo gets a thumbs up and has a lovely smell, looks like it will be good for my dyed hair so can't wait to give it a go. Mstar Malus Intensive Hair Treatment which I will be trying, doesn't say if you leave in or wash out but don't suppose it will matter, part of the fun of these boxes is that they don't always have clear instructions.

As soon as I unpacked the box I immediately thought of parma violet or oddfellow sweets and it comes from Nadu Skin Bathbooms, 4 tablet shaped coloured powdery bath bombs, infused with oils they claim to de-stress and I like how the instructions are full one for bath and half for foot bath.
One item I am still not exactly sure of it's purpose is the Swanicoco 100% Natural Healing Herb Pack, seems to be a 2 step process where you put it on a cloth and lather it with body wash. It's a powder inside the tub but I assume you need to provide your own body wash, if anyone wants to enlighten me feel free.

This box also contains Dermahouse Stretch care cream for use with stretchmarks from pregnancy etc so I will have to find another home for this. All in all a good box, only one thing I won't use that can be swapped out.

British Beauty Blogger Dream Box 2

Had to go collect some parcels from the sorting office and there were so many the postie gave me a plastic Royal Mail crate to cart them home!

Among them was the much anticipated British Beauty Blogger Dream Box 2 collab with Latest In Beauty. I really like Jane Cunningham's Blog so this was the first parcel I opened (even though there were 4 Memeboxes! and the Harveynicks/LIB box) and for £22ish have to say I'm blown away with the choice and quality of the products.

Most of it I will use and come back and give more detailed accounts of how they all fair, some will go into swaps.

This is what was in the box, a quick run down but I will try some of them and write more in depth reviews.

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick - WOW love this brand and needed some new winter lip protection so couldn't have come at a better time for me. There is also a free gift offer on if you buy 2 EA products just now in Debs so will investigate that.

LOLA By Pesse Lipstick (I got shade 007 Strawberry Fields) Delighted and will definately give this colour a chance!

Essie Nail Polish (I got shade 285 Toggle to The Top) Christmas party comes to mind, not sure if I will hold onto this as not a fan of many reds.

Moving on.....

Nude Pro Genius Treatment Oil- have several samples of this from various boxes but I like it so will use.

Burt's Bees Lemon Cuticle Cream - Not a fan, they are Ok as a brand but have tried a lot of their products and don't do it for me, will swap this one out.

Invisibobble Traceless Hair Ring - Will give this a go, don't really tie my hair up much but keen to see what the fuss is about.

Sleek Pout Polish (I got shade 958 The Show) - Again have never tried this product, only own sleek eye palletes so not sure if this is my thing, have heard the pout paints are good but this is a tinted polish or lip conditioner, may also swap this out.

Le Courent des Minimes Gardener's Hand Healer - love the smell of this cream, apparently contains shea butter and seven magical plants! my french is not great but appears to have rosemary, marigold and mimiosa among others. This will get used up as I work outdoors a fair bit so always need hand productsss.

Next up we have.....

Keratase Bain Satin 1 and Keratase Lait Vital - I've had a couple of thigns from this brand in the past and really rate them so was happy to get these 2, one is a shampoo and the other a leave in conditioner sort of thing. I've been heavily colouring my hair lately so been using lots of leave ins and if this is as good as L'oreal mythic oil then I'll happily buy the full size.

Mio Double Buff Dual Action Enzyme Exfoliator- never heard of Mio, this is a body exfoliator and contains pumice so should be nice and gritty, also bamboo, papaya and pineapple, have to say I'm not getting much of a scent of it.

Body Shop Satsuma Beautifying Oil- anything orangy is ok in my book so will find a use for this oil.

Then.....

Vichy Aqualia Thermal Light Cream - A big claim here, 48 hours of moisture Vichy reckons! don't have much experience of Vichy but they are paraben free so will see how it goes although the smell is kinda old fashioned if that makes sense?

Eyelure Brow Crayon - Really don't know when I'll get round to trying this as I'm still experimenting with my Tony Moly 7 day tattoo but what can I say it's mid brown which suits me just fine..

Ciate Lashlights- Nail Varnish is normally what I think about when seeing Ciate and I'm thinkng they should stick to what they know best, won't be using this electric blue mascara, will gift it away.

Last but by no means least....

Ardell Demi Wispies - again keep hearing about this brand in blogland so excited to try them and at least it's a semi noraml looking pair of lashes so happy to get these.

Bourjois Delic de Poudre Bronzing Duo- I don't use bronzer at all so will swap this item but have to say it really does smell of chocolate.

Agent Provocateur Fatale- love fragrance samples so this will add to the pile.

Lorac Mega Pro Palette

Never having owned anything by Lorac I was totally swept away in the hype and rush of getting my hands on such a limited edition. It sold out almost immediately and for some stroke of fate I got one on amazon.com. When I ordered it came through looking as if I had bought it as a gift for myself and the invoice said it was a gift to me from me! pretty weird.

There are 32 shades and 28 of them are new and from what I hear once stock is gone it's gone and won't be out again. So 16 mats and 16 shimmers. What attracted me to this palette were the plums and teals which are ideal for my green eyes.

I have to say I prefer the shimmers already even though I've only done 2 looks. The mats are fine on their own but when I tried to blend them they didn't perform as well as they should. My favourite shades so far are Mulberry, Smokey Topaz, Copper and Orchid. This palette will be getting a lot of loving over the winter.

Skin Pep Prize from Glossybox

I was lucky enough to win a Glossybox competition for a full set of http://skinpep.com/ anti ageing treatments.Delighted is not the word especially when I totalled up the value into a whopping £229.92!

Obviously these are anti-ageing treatments and are heavy on the collagen and hyloronic acid but they have no nasties and lots of other goodies like snail serum, algae, grape seed and various natural ingredients. I will try them this weekend and do a review.

Muji 5 drawer units

Woohoo these 2 babies arrived today. I had swithered over them for ages, lets face it they are pricey. I do have some smaller Osco ones that were a bargain find and some other acrylic bits from ebay (quality is just not there) however these were on my lust list and hey ho I work hard so bit the bullet. They arrived within a few days and packaged well. Can't wait to re-organise all me make-up now.

Picture quality not great but I will take more when they are settled into their new home and filled with awesomness.

Favoutire single eyeshadows

Been having a real love affair with single eye shadows recently. My current favourites are the Maybelline Colour Tatoos and the Bourjois Colour Edition 24H.

Must mention some of my L'oreal ones too as these have never let me down.
