It's here!
Well It's arrived, I wasn't looking forward to this one after seeing what someone else had received and it wasn't what I wanted. I've gave a few products to my Mum because I've got enough shower gel and moisturiser to sink a small ship. Enough about me, back to the box. My initial reaction of the box was good, I think the design is very nice! I am pleased, I opened the box and I was impressed, my dog approved I've just caught him trying to chew the corner! The products are what I like, but I am a hoarder of shower gells and moisturiser (self confessed addict). 
This month we got 3 almost full size products, which I was more than happy with! The 'real' full size product I received was Anatomicals 'you need a blooming shower' Your nose smells rose Shower gel/body cleanser. It's a rose scented shower gel and too strong for my personal taste, I don't like rose scented products but the actual product itself is lovely! Well worth a buy at £5 for 300ml, the one in the box is 150ml, If I liked the smell I'd buy the product! So if you're into lathery strong smelling shower gels, this is definitely worth buying it feels expensive and the packaging is right up my street!
Next up is another almost full size product Dr (Docteur) Ranaud Raspberry soft cream Hydrating care (AKA, moisturiser). There is lots of foreign mumbo jumbo and the English paragraph took me a little longer to find, I've got to read the packaging of a new product and this wasn't designed for English people who also like to do that (lol).
It's no surprise the product smells of raspberry the product is thick and does feel like a higher priced moisturiser should feel, it's thick and it soaks into the skin fast and leaves you're face smelling (almost) edible. This product comes in at £25 for 50ml. The tube I received was 30ml. I've gave this to my mum, as last week I bought myself a new moisturiser and I don't need it. If you're looking for a moisturiser and have normal to dry skin, love the smell of raspberries and can affort to fork out a little extra, I'd recommend this to you.
Next up is another almost full size product, If you were to buy this it would come with an extra shade, so a trio of shadows for £18. So technically, it is full sized. I received my two favourite eye shadow colours as I'm a fan of lipstick I stick to golds and browns and when I do wear them I wear very little. I am pleased with this, the colours are creamy and very well pigmented, I really can't complain! It came with a little double sided eye shadow sponge, I prefer using a real brush while applying my shadows, as I really do wear very little, so that would be my only downfall, but I'm nit picking a little bit! So at £18 for three, It is a steal! Good job GB :D
This is a full sized product and a strange one for me a coffee shade of lipstick which when I swatched on my hand it was a burgundy colour, very creamy but will take a lot to build up to get a solid strong colour. Again, I will review once I apply make up and wear it. The actual shade is called Sienna and is a bargain at £8, although I'm not 100% on the shade just yet!
Finally was a little sweet treat! A cute heart shaped lollypop which I ate immediately after taking a photo of it, It was yummy! Enough said :D
In conclusion I have very mixed thoughts! I'm not delighted or disappointed, but I'll try to use the lipstick and blush soon and I'll review!
Happy Valentines day,
Love ClaLou xox
