Unfortunately, my camera has snuffed it and I can't get the photos off so please forgive the poor photos of the info card, unfortunately this will have to do until I can get my phone sorted.
I really wanted this box when it first came out but didn't manage to get it so when it was restocked in November I snapped it right up!
I have tried most of the items in the box, however only once so this will be more of a first impressions and the reviews will come later (once I've had a good play).
This box was based on the ingredients for Pumpkin Pie and I feel it sticks to that theme very well. All the items in this box are full sized.
What's in the box:
This is a wash-off pack (mask) which is supposed to deeply replensh dry skin, and clarify and brighten dull, eneven complexions. The packaging is cute I guess, but not something I would have on display as I think it's better suited to a teenager than a 31 year old such as myself. This product has a fairly indistinguishable, faint and inoffensive smell. It has this amazing thick, spongy texture which is a lot of fun to play with and to apply. It is kind of like putting whipped cream on your face but much thicker, it feels really nice. I didn't really notice any great effect, however I did apply makeup and go to work straight after I used it so I didn't really have a chance to feel my skin. I am certainly looking forward to using this again and will report on how it performs.
Insobeau Multi Complex V-Line Repair Sleeping Mask RRP: $42
The packaging for this one is much better, it's light pink with a chrome lid. Still not a display item for me but much more grown up. Again, the texture of this overnight mask is a lot of fun. If you have ever cooked custard in the microwave from powder you will know that, while it looks like a liquid it's actually quite solid. This cream does a similar thing. This cream looks very runny but is actually firm - like sticking your finger into thick custard. It also smells really lovely and feels nice to put on. I have only used it twice and my skin feels nice and smooth. I haven't noticed any great difference to my skin, however i was already using the Mangchee sleeping mask from the Wine and Cheese box and swapped it out for this one as this one's expiry date is much sooner (June). It also has a great, clean scent which is quite relaxing. I wouldn't think much of this product if my skin had gotten worse, however it has stayed the same so i'm very glad to have this product. You use this product twice per week so i'm confident i'll be able to get through it before the expiry date.
This is a nice refreshing handcream. It has an amazing lemon sherbot smell which I am just obsessed with. It is quite a thick handcream so it does leave some greasy residue but it is certainly not as bad as some I have tried. There isn't too much more I can say about this, it's a fairly standard cream with a lovely scent. I'm certainly glad to have this one and it has been my go-to handcream since I got it.
Tonymoly Gold Black Sugar Mask RRP: $7
Well, my first impression was one of disappointment with this one. It is the first Tonymoly product I've received and after seeing how amazing this brand's packaging can be I found this packaging extrememly boring. Other than that essentially small issue, I am very happy to have this item. It is an exfoliating facial mask which claims to bring suppleness and a healthy glow back to your face. I have used this once to give it a go. It is very thick and feels a bit like smearing grainy honey on your face. It has a really strong scent which to me smelled of brown sugar and soy sauce, needless to say this is not my favourite scent. It did feel great to rub off. Unfortunately I broke the skincare gospel and used this the day after exfoliating so I can't really comment on how it performed. I think i will be writing a full review on this product as I have never owned anything like it. i have to finish off my current exfoliator before I can really dive into this one. I will link the review here once it has been posted.
Enesti Day to Day Rice and milk Foam Cleansor RRP: $14
I haven't opened this product yet as I still have a few to get through first. I haven't had a foaming cleanser since I was 21 and i quite liked that one so i'm keen to give this one a go. It claims to cleanse away makeup residue and other impurities as well as clarify uneven skintone. I will update this once I have used it.
The Verdict:
Overall this is a fantastic box and i'm so pleased i finally managed to get my hands on it. i will be using every item in this box and have even got a couple of items I either haven't had anthing like before, or i haven't used in a very long time. i'm very much looking forward to really diving in.
