Goodiebox January 2015 - "Freshest Picks"

This is my second ever Goodiebox, the first one being the Christmas Limited Edition. I was so excited to see this being delivered to me in my office at work, I LOVE receiving packages…who doesn’t?!

So if you don’t know already, GoodieboxNZ is a monthly beauty subscription box. Once you have subscribed, the box will be sent out to you at the end of the month. It costs $29 + $4.50 postage (Total $33.50) and you can cancel at any time. Here is the link to Goodiebox if you would like to subscribe: www.goodiebox.co.nz

Anyway lets get into it:

This month’s theme is “Freshest Picks - Fun picks for you to try!”.

Here is what I received in my Goodiebox:

1. So Susan / Dual Brow Powder / Full Size 4g / RRP $25 “Brows are so very important to frame the face, so best create precise, defined brows with this smudge-proof dual-shade compact. Applies smoothly and gently using short light strokes to fill in brows for a completely natural yet gorgeous brow look!” -

2. Jelly Pong Pong / 2in1 Eyeliner & Shawdow / Full Size 2.8g / RRP $23 “Made with pure beeswax to accommodate especially sensitive skin around eyes. A uniquely formulated crayon that doubles as an eyeliner for bold, precise lines as well as a perfectly-blended eye shadow. Buildable and versatile, it’s no wonder this liner is loved worldwide!” - I received this in Bronze.

3. Manhatten / Quick Dry Nail Polish / Full Size 7ml / RRP $11 “This formula will literally dry in a jiffy, leaving your nails with long lasting, brilliant shine. Super cute and super efficient, now painting your fingers and toes will be an effortless breeze.” - No colour name shown.

4. Shiseido / Ibuki Refining Moisturiser Enriched / Full Size 50ml / RRP $78 (RECEIVED SAMPLE SIZE OF 18ml) “This multi-action formula intensively corrects the appearance of unevenness such as visible pores, breakouts/blemish marks and skin roughness by building skin’s strength to resist problems. Renews the skin’s surface to reveal an incredibly smooth, uniform texture. The appearance of fine lines caused by dryness is reduced, keeping skin hydrated all day long. To use: Smooth over the face after cleansing and softening at night.”

5. Dr Hauschka / Hydrating Hand Cream / Full Size 50ml / RRP $39 (RECEIVED 2 SAMPLE SIZED SACHETS OF 2.5ml EACH) “Dr Hauschka’s top seller! Fast absorbing and moisturising - this hand cream contains Bryphyllum which has intense regenerative and hydrating properties, supporting the skin’s natural processes of renewal. All natural, all organic.”

6. Glamourflage / Daisy Delight Lip Balm / Mellow May Lip Balm / Full Size 20ml / RRP $15.95 “Pucker up! These deliciously sweet lip balms are packed with delightful goodness including Vitamin E and natural moisturisers to soothe and restore lips, your pout will be irresistible!.”

I also received the following freebies:

1. Pureology / Pure Volume Instant Levitation Mist / Full Size 145ml / RRP $35-52 (RECEIVED SAMPLE SIZE OF 30ml) - This product is not listed on the card from Goodiebox so I had to research to find out the full size and also compare prices.

2. Shiseido / Ibuki Multi Solution Gel / Full Size 30ml / RRP $69 - I had to take a card into Farmers (my nearest Shiseido stockist) to receive my free sample sachet of 1.5ml.

I am really impressed with all of these products! I think I have lucked it quite well with this box. The colours in the So Susan Brow Powder are the exact shades that suit me, I am really excited to try the Jelly Pong Pong eyeliner/shadow, I have sensitive eyes so I’m crossing my fingers this doesn’t irritate my skin. I am also really stoked about the nail polish colour I received - I don’t usually go bold on my finger nails so I think this colour is quite subtle and won’t stand out like a sore thumb!

I have used Shiseido products in the past and absolutely loved using them, I am almost out of my night moisturiser so this came at the right time and I think this sample size will last a while. I was given a Dr Hauschka hand cream a few years ago and adored it so I am excited to receive these samples - they may give me the push to go buy some!

I am a HUGE FAN of lip balm so I was so excited to see one in the Goodiebox, mine is cherry flavoured - it smells divine (it kind of reminds me of those sparkler lollies you used to be able to buy) - can’t wait to use this everyday!! And last but not least, the freebies, woohoo - I received a Pureology product in the Christmas Goodiebox and still use it after every hair wash - I love it, my hair is real thin so this is perfect, can’t wait to use this volume mist!

So that’s another Goodiebox done! I will use these products and put up reviews of my favourites soon. Feel free to let me know what you received in your Goodiebox and what you liked the most! Also, are there any products you don’t think you will use? Look forward to hearing from you xx

GoodieBox Christmas Edition 2014

WELCOME to my very first beauty review, and what better way to start than with a Christmas Limited Edition Goodie Box! As I said in my previous post, I literally discovered the world of beauty subscription boxes a month ago. Upon googling many sites and oohing and ahhing over several I stumbled across Goodie Box which not only looked fantastic but even better it was based in New Zealand! Right then and there I saw they were selling a limited number of a Christmas Edition Boxes – must be a sign – had to get it!!

I can suddenly hear lots of voices saying “Just get on with it will you” – I’m listening so here we go: Here’s a picture of the box that all the goodies came in (and I assume they come in a box like this every month). It’s a thick hardboard which I love the feel of and the lid is a flip lid with a magnetic closure. The second picture speaks for itself – all the beauty products wrapped in pink tissue. They’ve got the pink theme running consistently!

So anyway – Here is what was included in my Limited Edition Goodie Box (and info as per written on the card):

1. Glamourflage Vera Vamp Body Cream – I received a full size 250ml worth $36. “Blessed with 11 different moisturisers, pH balanced and laced with natural Mica particles to give your skin a beautiful pearly glow. Apply this rich and luxurious body cream all over your body while skin is still damp after your shower. Vera will sooth your skin to make sure it stays protected from the summer sun!”.

I LOVE the brand design – it is so feminine! I also love the round tin the cream is packaged in and the size is very generous (I love being able to dig in and get as much cream as I need and knowing none will go to waste at the end). I love body creams/lotions to use straight after a hot shower so I was excited to see this in the box. I will just say however that my senses do not like overly powered scents and I found the scent of this cream to be too strong for my personal liking – I wanted to like it though as a touch of it on my skin felt amazing! I was happy though that I was able to re-gift it as a Christmas present, and that person loved it – yay!

2. Teeez Spectrum of Stars Eyeshadow – I received a full size 2g worth $32. ”All the way from the Netherlands, Teeez cosmetics is an international rising starlet that we’re absolutely in love with – from the gorgeous packaging to their high quality products. This shadow has a high gloss, semi-metallic finish that applies wet or dry. With added Argan Oil means a luxuriously smooth, velvet texture that is long lasting”

WOW! I didn’t even want to open the box! It is so inviting to the eyes so at the same time I just wanted to rip the box open and discover my little slice of heaven. This is definitely my favourite product out of the Goodie Box. I will admit I’m not much of a beauty product know it all but this eyeshadow is as described – smooth, velvety and luxurious. The colour I received is called “Sepia Shine”. I usually stick with charcoal colours so it was nice to receive this brownish colour tone. I am often scared to branch out and try something new so this colour I guess was the perfect way to start using a new colour on my face! 100% happy with this product.

3. Australis Eye Pencil – I received a full size 0.28g RRP $14. “Australia’s best selling eye pencil. Glides on effortlessly in one easy stroke, long lasting and super pigmented, this eyeliner is sure to make your eyes a statement to show off at your Christmas parties!”.

I was happy to see an eye pencil in my Goodie Box, however I wasn’t particularly sold on the colour I received – Olive. This colour is a bit out of my comfort zone and can’t actually imagine me wearing it. BUT… I did do a small swatch on my hand, even though I’m not a fan of the colour, I will definitely be buying this brand next time I need a new eye pencil. It did glide on my skin effortlessly and felt amazingly soft.

4. Mode Cosmetics Nail Enamel – I received full size 15ml RRP $4. “Quality nail polishes CAN be inexpensive! Mode is fast-drying, chip free and mess-proof – your nails will look party-ready in no time. Available in all your local pharmacies.”

I’m a nail biter from way back unfortunately and I get so angry at myself for the bad habit – I just wish I had beautiful longer nails (not long just longer). I received the colour “Happy Snaps” which is a blue as you can see. My initial reaction was “is this for real, a blue nail polish for the Christmas season, where’s the red?!!”. Upon application, I was surprised, this colour is super likeable, it is perfect for summer. I straight away painted all of my nails and am absolutely stoked with the colour choice! Tip: Apply an extra coat to get a nice vibrant blue Happy Snap!

5.De Lorenzo Tricho Sensitive Shampoo & Conditioner – According to the card I received a full size of each 30ml RRP $8.60each, however I did do a search and discovered that a full size of these products is 200ml RRP approx $30 each.

I have heard of this brand and have always wanted to try it, but living on the budget I have I could never bring myself to spend that much on shampoo. I was excited to try these out! I found the shampoo quite runny…is this normal? I did shake it to try thicken it up just in case it wasn’t normal but it was still thin and runny. The bottle says to lather it up but this did not lather up in my hair. The second time I used it I used a fair bit more and was able to get a nice lathering! The conditioner was thicker than the shampoo which made it easier to apply. The small bottles only allowed me to get 3 uses but my hair did feel amazing after each use. I wish we did receive full size in this product, I absolutely love it!

6. Pureology Precious Oil – I received a sample size of 30ml; Full size is 125ml RRP $43 (Sample Size Value $10.30). ”An oil that lives up to its name of being the precious gem of hair oils! This oil will penetrate deep into your hair fibres to boost your locks. Use on hair to intensify shine, increase suppleness and protect colour. TIP: A little will go a long way. Use on damp hair and dry as usual.”

Another favourite product received in my Goodie Box – I’m in love! Goodie Box was right when they say “A little will go a long way” – I squeeze a tiny bit on the palm of my hand, rub my hands together a little and swish my hands through my hair – I don’t notice any difference while my hair is damp but when it’s dry my hair feels amazing. After each use my hair not only smells delicious like I could eat it but it feels so soft and luscious! I am extremely happy with this product, and even though it’s a 30ml sample size, I can see it lasting at least a few months (who needs a full size – not me – give me a sample size for $10 any day!).

7. Elegant Touch Nail Wraps – I received a full size 18 wraps RRP $13. ”Multi-Award winning brand Elegant Touch comes as a salvation to all us creative girls. These nail wraps will give you salon quality nail art, quick. Just press on and your nails are ready to go! TIP: Cut into desired shapes or strips for D.I.Y nail art, make sure to use clear base and top coat for extra long lasting results!”

I have to be brutally honest here – I wasn’t that pleased to see these for two reasons 1. I don’t have long nails so really these are no good to me (but to be fair I’m probably the only person in this world who still bites their nails?!); and 2. I received these in a “Dotty Nude” colour – that’s a bit cringeworthy! I wasn’t expecting these at all, but when I did see them I guess I would be expecting something more festive like a red colour with white snowflakes or green Christmas trees – do you know what I mean? Luckily I have another friend who is in love with nail creativity and I put these in her Christmas stocking as a surprise from Santa!

8. St Moriz Tanning Mousse – I received a full size 100ml RRP $20. ”Raved about by beauty bloggers worldwide, this is the perfect self-tanner for newbies and tan fanatics alike. Best try this for yourself! The light mousse formula glides on for an easy, streak free application every time. Get ready to glow. TIP: Apply using gloves or a tanning mitt to avoid staining your hands.”

Right so I can see the sense in including a tanning product in a summer Goodie Box so that’s great, and a full size even better. I’m always nervous about using self tanning products as, hey, I’m not a professional! I’ve used them before and I can never get a perfect application without streaks, and might I add without smelling really yuck. I received a “Medium” shade and it looks quite dark in the bottle so I’m not quite sure about using this one. I’ve recently bought a sunbed concession and I’ve got a lovely light natural looking tan which I love, I don’t think I can bring myself to use the mousse over the top. However, this is definitely a product I’ll hold on to and try out for myself.

Total Value of Goodie Box: Approx $146.50 – Total Paid: $60 (Sorry I can’t recall whether shipping was included, free or $5 – one of them).

Final Thoughts: I was extremely happy with the majority of items but I would have maybe modified a couple of products; ie swapping the dotty nude nail wraps for something more festive, making the tanning mousse a sample product as the colour shade is not for everyone but a sample would give you an idea of the shade you would buy (and of course replace this with a full sized item…cheeky much). I also would have maybe included an application glove to apply the tanning mousse to make it less of a hassle to go out of my way to go buy a box of gloves (ah yes third world problems!). Overall I think the $60 value is definitely in the Goodie Box – not entirely sure of the RRP of $146.50 however – but each to their own – we place our own values on things we love and dislike!

I think this box has convinced me to subscribe to Goodie Box and purchase the next 3 boxes for 2015 – surely it’s gonna be Good! Check back for my review of the January Goodie Box – thanks for reading!
