little white truths

Look what showed up today - woot woot! It was a good day for this one to arrive since I've been feeling rather sorry for myself now that I'm on a spending ban, and it's not a great day outside so I was definitely in need of some cheering up.

This is another good box from Marie's Claire's Ageless Parcel, and while I don't think it's quite as good as the last one, it's still excellent and I'll get lots of use from it - plus it's good value as always.

There's a good variation in products, with everything from skincare to haircare and hand cream.

I'm most excited about the Essano Rosehip Collagen Repair Serum and the Garnier Miracle Sleeping Cream - partly because I'm low on similar products - and the Elizabeth Arden item looks interesting too.

According to the card, this was created specifically for hands and is a nourishing, fragrance-free treatment that contains the skin-brightening fruit extract phyllanthus emblica. It also contains vitamin c to help reduce the appearance of dark spots, vitamin e for moisture and vitamin b3 to even the skintone.

I have so many hand creams at the moment that I don't know what to do with them, so this will be added to the pile and I might get to it next year if I'm lucky! It does sound good but I really don't need it. I'm sure it'll get used in the end.

This is a thickening spray that's infused with antioxidants and omega 3s to help plump your strands and target the first signs of ageing hair. You can apply it to either wet or dry hair.

I'm not that interested in haircare as a general rule but this does sound good and I have nothing like it on hand. Another product that might get opened straight away : )

Lonvitalite C8 Collagen Crystal Eye Mask (RRP $32 AUD for six masks; received one)

If I see one more Lonvitalite sheet mask show up in a sub box, I'll crack it. At least this is an eye one, although I've used it a couple of times before at least (they always seem to appear in sub boxes) and I remember not being impressed.

It's apparently formulated with 100 per cent natural plant-based collagen and it's meant to help reduce fine lines and dark circles. I don't remember any of that happening, but we'll see.

In sum

This is a good little box and I'm pleased with it. The RRP value of the contents is well over $100, so you're certainly getting your money's worth.

It mightn't be my favourite sub box ever, but it's definitely a good one and I'll probably keep and use everything, and you can't ask for any more than that.

Did you receive this box? Let me know what you think if so : )
