SheSaid Beauty Box July 2012

Hello! So I received my July SheSaid beauty box about a week ago now I think? But I have been a bit slow to post about it because I've been working so much! I'm actually writing this right before I go out to work AGAIN for the 5th day in a row, I'm sure this is meant to be my summer holiday....
Anyway! Enough of that, here's what I got in my box:




Miners Cosmetics Bronzer and Blusher Blend - a full size product, score! I'm excited to try this one out, it doesn't look too dark like it would overpower and look dirty on my pale skin, and I really like that it's a blusher and a bronzer! I'm very pleased to receive this in my box, especially as it's (meant to be) summer, so I've got another bronzer try out! I also think that this looks really pretty with the swirl pattern on the powder, lovely!

The Vintage Cosmetics Company Vintage Eyelash Curler - another full size product! I love the packaging these come in, just as cute as the Vintage Cosmetics False Eyelashes I received in my May She Said Beauty box! I'm looking forward to trying these out and seeing the sort of effect they have on my lashes, fingers crossed it'll be a good response!

Murad Time Release Blemish Cleanser - yet another full size product! This is an anti-ageing and blemish reducing, cleansing product, I'd probably be a bit more excited about this if it wasn't anti-ageing, just because I'm only 19 and I don't really want to start with all that yet. I'm not sure I'll be trying this one out, just because of the anti-ageing thing, maybe I'm just being silly, but I do love that they've put in another full size product and it's a brand that I wouldn't have thought to try or have heard very much about before!

Stylefile S-file - and another full size product! shesaid have really outdone themselves this time! I don't clip my nails, I only ever file them, so this should come in handy! I wonder whether how it will compare to my old faithful boots essentials naile files...

Freeze 24.7 Ice Crystals Anti-Ageing Prep&Polish - this was a teeny tiny little sample sachet, which I didn't mind at all because of all the other full size products in the box. Again, it's another anti-ageing product, so I'm not really excited about this, it sounds a little scary too, described as "a powerful resurfacing cocktail" I tend to go for very gentle and natural products to use on my face and this sounds like it could be really quite harsh! I am slightly enticed by the promise of "a fresh new glow" because that's something I'm always searching for! But in all honesty I think I'll be giving this one a miss because it sounds a bit harsher than the sort of thing I'd want to be putting on my face, but again, this is another brand I've never heard of, so might have a look if they have anything more to my taste on offer!

I also received a Debenhams Beauty Club Reward Card in my box (Debenhams is a department store in the UK) which I thought was a little bit weird actually, but anyway...

So overall, not my favourite box from SheSaid Beauty, but still a good box nonetheless! Has anyone else subscribed to SheSaid Beauty Box?

    1. hahaha! It's a new product that's only just come out in the UK, it's a nail file in an "s" shape, it says on the box that it follows the nail's natural curved shape and makes filing quicker and easier? And it says it lasts for up to 12 months! I haven't tried it out yet so I'm not sure if it will be easier than a normal file, I'll let you know when I get around to it! haha :)

    1. I get glossybox too and I haven't been impressed either, I remember seeing the boxes last year where people were receiving nars highlighters and burberry lipsticks, now they're full of perfume and bubble bath samples... not cool!! I'd definitely recommend the shesaid box though, I've been continually impressed with the stuff they've sent, check out my older posts on past boxes if you're interested :)

    1. I know, it looks pretty cool, it's good though because it's not the sort of thing I'd spend my own money on, so it's nice to get the chance to try it out! I guess that's what the beauty boxes are all about :)
