I hope you are all doing great on this crispy cold Sunday. I wanted to share with you my thoughts on this months Pink Parcel.
If you don't know what Pink Parcel is, let me fill you in. Well for us girlies, there is a hateful time of the month. A time where we hate everything, feel pain and always want to be near a toilet to avoid leaks. We buy our stock of sanitary items to tide us over for the 'period'. So i found Pink Parcel. You go on to their website, fill in your details let them know if you wear towels or use tampons. I use both. So i chose this option. Each month I get night sanitary towels, a mix of tampon sizes from light to extra super. This box is £12.99 which for all your sanitary items isnt much more than you would be paying anyway.
On top of these items you get a box of goodies for you to enjoy. There will always be one edible item and one teabag. Ive had everything from chamomile to ginger. They are different everytime. I love the excitement of what the edible item is lol, is that sad, it is isn't it lol. I don't care, I am very rarely disappointed. I have had chocolate bars, popcorn's, crackers, and more.
This month our tea is English Rose from Whittard and is £5 for 25 teabags, it is a lot and I will most likely not repurchase, but I will try this out in the morning with my breakfast before editing my videos for the week. The snack was coconut bites from Ape. I have seen these in stores. I was tempted to buy the coconut curls and after trying the bites I will be buying more. They were sweet, crispy and very enjoyable. 20g bag is approx £1.
Getting in to the beauty items we have:
Pick me up Coffee Scrub from Optiat. £6.99 for 20g
This product is different from any of the other coffee scrubs I have tried. It is not a dry scrub for a start. This one you massage in to the skin and rinse away. It smells of Lemongrass, which I love. This I will be repurchasing. I love a good coffee scrub. It felt gorgeous on my skin. It left me feeling exfoliated and cleansed.
Moroccan Rose Superfood Facial Oil from Dr Botanicals £54.90 30ml
This smells Divine and I don't normally like the smell of roses. This made my skin feel smooth and moisturised. I was concerned it would leave me feeling greasy but it was a fine oil, it did not feel as heavy as some other facial oils I have tried. This is definitely a luxury item that won't be on my repurchase list, but will be enjoyed while it lasts.
Hylauronic Plumping Mist from Balance Me. £16 30ml
I can't say I think this is doing much plumping but it is definitely refreshing. I sprayed it on before my makeup and then again later on to refresh my makeup and it did give it a new lease of life.
The Super Matte Lipstick from Jelly Pong Pong £18
This was a gorgeous red colours and I really liked it, though my husband never likes a red on me, sometimes I think that makes me like it more. This lasted through tea, coffee and me having my dinner. However I don't usually pay £18 for lip products. I am a cheap lass when it comes to my makeup, I like to get things cheap as possible. However if you like a little luxury this could be for you.
Puckrup Lip Plumper £19.99 5ml
I hated this. It was burning. I didn't even use that much of it. It felt like I was on fire! It did have a slight plumping effect but I don't believe it was enough to warrant the pain it caused me! The effects didn't last very long either. I was disappointed, I wont be using this again and wouldn't recommend this to anyone.
Thank you for reading this months review on the Pink Parcel. I hope you enjoyed it and found it informative. I love getting this parcel, it always makes my day just before my period is due. I love trying new products each month. I think Pink Parcel is probably my favourite subscription, however I am fickle lol, so that could change.
Anyway, see you all soon. xxxxxx
