This time last year I wrote about three beauty boxes which appeared on the Czech market. Two of them joined forces and became one, the third disappeared completely. So, there is no comparing this time (only to the last year's issues).
What I ordered then was Ladybox which swallowed Senzabox and now they act as one under the name of Ladybox. The same ugly pink box arrived filled with white paper worms which subsequently filled me with terror. Fortunately no hair popped out. My camera still refuses to give me some of the pictures I take so I only managed to take out this picture of the box's content:
1) Lavera mattifying balancing cream sample. Wow, what a flashback :-)= But I remember it smelled nice so I will use it at some point.
2) Bell Aloe Vera cotton pads. Aargh. Just when I decided to be more environmental friendly and bought myself washable pads, they send me this. Just great. It's a step back for me but they are useful at least.
3) Matcha chocolate. I don't like food in make-up boxes, however, I've ever wanted to try this matcha thing everyone has been so into lately so I am eager to try this out.
4) Ziaja olive micellar water. I've already had this one and must say it doesn't remove make-up well. It's ok with foundation but mascara is a no go for it.
5) Alva loose shadow in Soft and Gentle. I generally have problem with application of loose eyeshadows because they somehow fall all over my face. This color gives sublte shine and even though it looks like a skin tone, it's too light when applied and it makes my eyes look weird. I'll probably mix it with something else and see if I can find a use for it.
6) Xhekpon cream. This is something which promises one those anti-aging life-defying results. We shall see...
7) MeMeMe Beat the Blues in Pearl Pink. Now, finally something I've been trying to get my hands on for ages but haven't had the opportunity to do so. Can't wait to see how illuminated I'm gonna be! :-)=
I dunno but my overall impression of this box isn't nice. I was hoping to see something new (sure, Xhekpon is, but that's not very thrilling for my age group) and that was fulfilled by that chocolate which is not a normal thing to be in a beauty box. The only thing which I know will be used is the skin illuminator and that's it. Old, boring stuff anyone can get.
You've gotten worse, Ladybox...
