The Parcel Winter Edit

Hey Readers, 
I hope this post finds you well. Got a surprise this week when I received an email that told me that the winter edition of the parcel had been posted!! Things have been so busy for me that I had not been expecting it this month. So was excited to see it arrive and couldn't wait to see what this edition included.




OPI Nail Lacquer received the shade Makes Men Blush.
Marie Claire chose from the 50 shades of grey, Coca Cola and Classic collections to give us a polish to inject a bit of fun into the winter wardrobe. Makes Men Blush actually comes from the soft shades collection so once again I have received a polish not apart of the collections stated!! Makes Men Blush is a soft pink with a slight iridescence it is really a my nails but better shade,  just a bit of something to make them look nice without being too in your face. While I would have liked to receive a polish with a bit more colour. I am looking at wedding manicure options at the moment and this makes a great base coat for a glitter top coat!!!



Loreal Paris Volume Million Lashes So Couture.
This mascara says it will add volume and extension to lashes whilst remaining clump free its brush head sports 408 mini bristles that with capture each lash coating them with this silky mascara formula. I do love a good mascara particularly one that gives volume and length as well as being clump free. Excited to try!! also love the packaging of this mascara cannot wait to see what a more expensive mascara is like.



Lanolips Lemonaid Lip Aid  
Containing 70% medical grade lanolin and organic lemon oil this balm says it will not only replenish chapped lips but also naturally exfoliate them leaving them soft and supple. I struggle with dry lips all year round so interested to try this one.



Estee Lauder Revitalizing Supreme Global Anti Aging Creme received a deluxe 5ml sample fullsize is 30ml. 
Not only can this face cream be used both day and night but it also works to soften skin, smooth lines and boost luminosity happy to see this included will give a try whilst I don't really have anti aging concerns always interested to try something that will help keep my skin soft and luminous.



Neutrogena Hydro Boost Mask For Intense Hydration received three full size pack is five. and Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes received a deluxe sample pack of 7 full size is 25 wipes.
OK so normally I wouldn't be that impressed with a mask or receiving a product I received in the last edition of this box BUT I am very impressed with the generosity of Marie Claire to include three of these masks and given I already use one of the hydro boost daily moisturisers and love it. Happy to see what another product in the range are like. As for the wipes while I am receiving them for a second box in a row they do explain on the card that they are to help prepare your skin pre mask. I prefer a small pack for travel so  to be honest  happy to have a back up for that. 




John Frieda Beach Blonde Cool Dip Purifying Shampoo, Smooth Seas Detangling Conditioner both 50ml deluxe samples full size is 295ml and Ocean Waves Sea Salt Spray 30ml deluxe sample full size is 150ml 
Despite the name these products aren't just for blondes!! The Cool dip shampoo says it will cleanse thirsty heat damaged hair and Detangling conditoner says it will untie knots and snags. As for the sea salt spray this is a texturising spray that says its perfect for creating gorgeous beachy waves!!! I am not one for beach chic hair but do really like the smell of the shampoo and conditoner so interested to try and see what they are like.



Woolworths Select Quick and Easy Nail Polish Removal Wipes pack of 20.
Surprised to see these included to be honest. This box has become known for including more premium brands so interested to see a home brand supermarket item this edition however these wipes are really handy to have hanging around and are great for travel.




So that ends the Winter edition of the Parcel. Overall I am still impressed with this box and excited by the products included. Will definitely be trying all the items I have received and interested to see how they go. Until next post happy reading and happy shopping

Everlynne.
