So Susan - Wide Awake

So I thought I would do a review on the So Susan Wide Awake palette that I received in my September Joliebox. 

When I first opened this I thought the packaging was really cute and girly. I have now been using it for a couple of weeks and don't think it's brilliant!  Both the illuminating cream and the highlighting cream feel quite greasy and crease when you put them on your skin. They kind of felt like a product you'd buy from Claire's accessories when you were younger - if you know what I mean?
The Eyebrow sculpting colours are a bit odd - the top and the bottom one are shimmery and one of them is a purply colour and the other is an olivey colour - the middle one is OK though! The tweezers that come with this palette are probably the only thing that I'd actually use!

So overall not a brilliant product - I have never heard of this brand and can't actually find this product online but I think I have looked before and it was £15.00 - which I personally wouldn't pay for this. 
I have been on the So Susan website and cant find a shop or anything where you can buy their products either! 
I would like to try some other So Susan products to see if I like any of them!

Have you tried any So Susan Products - I'd be interested to hear what you thought of them!

Joliebox - September 2012

Today I finally received my Joliebox! I have been waiting on this arriving as the first one that was sent to me got lost in the post!

So this month's Joliebox is a London Fashion week special - it includes 3 full sized products, one sample sized product and a few extra sachets to try. My box also included an extra full sized item as it is my first ever order!

Balmi - Lip Balm

This was the product that I was the most excited about. I have seen loads of great reviews on these - everyone's favourite seems to be the raspberry flavour unfortunately I didn't get that one I got the mint. I love the packaging of these, they are very similar to the EOS balms, I can't comment on the actual product as I haven't tried the EOS. Balmi have SPF 15 and they contain shea butter, jojoba oil and vitamin E, so they are supposed to keep the lips very moisturised, these retail at £5.00. I will do a review on this once I have used it for a couple of weeks!

 

 

I love... Mango face mask

Im looking forward to trying this, it says that it "refreshes skin and removes dead skin cells." This is a full size 15ml product. I can't find the price for this online, on the I love.. website it is in the "what's new" section but no price is advertised- i'm guessing it would be no more than £1.00.

So Susan - Wide Awake

This was my added extra for my first order with joliebox. It looks pretty but I have only seen bad reviews on this product, so I will try it and then I'll write my view on it within the next couple of weeks. RRP - £15.00

 

 REDKEN straightening lotion

Redken is a popular brand you can buy their products online or in some salons. I don't straighten my hair that often so I don't know how much use I will get out of this.

twistbands

I didn't really understand these when I first saw them but after reading more about them they seem quite handy. Basically you can tie your hair up with these and when you take them out you won't have a kink, if these work I will carry one around with me in my bag for sure!

 Dr Bragi - bio marine exfoliant

98% natural ingredients - designed to eliminate dead skin cells. I'm looking forward to try this. RRP = £25 for 50ml.

 

So Overall I am quite happy with my first Joliebox - It took me ages to decide whether to order Joliebox or GlossyBox - If you subscribe to either of these let me know what you think is best - Glossy or Jolie?
