Last Month's Beauty Boxes: Looking Back on May 2012

Hello! I'm sick at the moment, so I'm not really in the mood for writing a long post, but I noticed that I was due for my monthly review of last month's beauty boxes. There were only 2 last month, so I think I can cope with some short comments on them. As always, click on the heading to see the original box review.

Lust Have It
ModelCo Shine Ultra Lipgloss in Showgirl Red - I love this lipgloss. It went straight into my makeup basket and I've been using it semi-regularly for special occasions and when I want to feel more glam.

Evo The Therapist Calming Shampoo and Calming Conditioner - I haven't used these yet, but I definitely will. I'm trying to use up some of my smaller samples first.

Bioderma Crealine H20 Makeup Remover - I'm going to use up my current makeup remover before I use this, but it's definitely in the queue.

Calvin Klein Sheer Beauty Perfume - the scent isn't as interesting as the DKNY perfume I got the month before, so I put it away for now.

Lush Soap in Lust - went in my soaps bag in the bathroom and I'll use it after I've finished up my hotel guest soaps (I like to take advantage of the hospitality whenever I'm on holidays!).

Caron Laboratories Bump eRaiser Medi Paste - I never get ingrown hairs, so this went in my box of products I'll probably never use.

Nicole by OPI Ultimate Trendsetters Nail Lacquer in {shade name not given} - I liked this nail polish, and though I haven't used it yet, I'm planning to soon.




Bella Box
Avene Eau Thermale Ystheal Emulsion Moisturiser AND Eluage Eye Contour Cream - these went in my sample bag and I'll use them in due course. I'm not really raring to go with them though, I have to admit.

A'kin Rose & Geranium Pure Creamy Cleanser & Toner in One - this is in my queue to use after my current cleanser, and - I can't wait!

Bobbi Brown Extreme Lengthening Mascara - again, it's in my queue to use when my current Bobbi Brown mascara goes manky.

Silk Oil of Morocco Lip Gloss in Moroccan Ruby - aside from swatching when I first got it, I haven't looked at this again. It's an unfortunate coincidence, but it's just too similar to the Model Co lip gloss I got in my other box.

Sebastian Professional Volupt Shampoo, Volupt Conditioner and Potion 9 Wearable-Styling Treatment - I use these eventually, but I have to confess I'm not really excited about it: when it comes to hair (and I have a lot of it!) the sample sachets are a bit too small to get a good idea of what a product is like.
