September Livbox '13

Hello!

Here are this months Livbox goodies. 
Seems like it's all about scents in this months box.


First, my favorite product in the box:


Clarins, Beauty Flash Balm
Sample size 15ml/0.53oz
It makes your skin brighter, tighter also makes your skin looking less tired. You should apply it on clean skin, without rubbing it in and apply your make-up immediately.
My thoughts: I really like this beauty balm and it really makes my skin look more brighter, not sure about the tighter part. The balm feels nice and absorbs quickly. To someone the smell might be too strong, but to me it is ok. I will buy a new one when I have money to splurge.
My advise is if you're sensitive to strong scents you should go to the beauty store and smell it before buying it.

 Max Factor, Wild Shadow Pots
Full size 2g
15 Vicious Purple
Full pigmented and trendy colors, gives a nice pop of color on your eyelids. For more intensive color use a wet/damp brush.
My Thoughts: Ummh... I hoped that this product would be all those things what the product card said. It really isn't. Color is ok, but it's very shimmery almost full off glitter and where is the pigment? Not in this pot. I'm still gonna try to use it and I hope the other colors are more vibrant. I'm might buy this in other colors.

 Not impressed.


DR. Bronner's Magic Soaps
All-One Hemp Tea Tree Pure-castile soap made with organic oils
Sample size 28g/1oz
 Contains coconut-, olive-, hemp- and jojoba oils, tea tree extract and vitamin E. Contains also fair trade ingredients. 100% vegan soap. You can use this soap on everything. 
You can wash your: face, body, hands, hair, clothes and dishes with it. Tea tree extract should help with acne and psoriasis.
My thoughts: The soap feels really creamy and nice. After washing my hands with it they felt really soft, clean and moisturized. You can smell especially the hemp oil and tea tree extract quite strongly.
Might buy this in different scent.


 Boss Jour Pour Femme, Eau de Parfum
Sample size
This is a light, elegant and feminine new perfume which continues Boss-fragrances classy style. Scents of Lime accord, honeysuckle, freesia and white birch. 
My thoughts: Nice warm scented perfume. I might use this sometimes, but I think this might be a scent for a 30+  women.
Not gonna buy the full size.


 Boss Jour Pour Femme, perfumed bodylotion 
Sample size 50ml/1.6fl. oz
Same scent as the perfume. 
Moisturizing bodylotion which should enhance the scent of the perfume.
My thoughts: Oh fudge! This is something I can't or don't want to use at least on my arms or near my face. Just no. Extremely strong scent, but makes my skin soft and moisturized can't argue with that.
Not gonna buy the full size.



 Louis Widmer, cleansing milk
 Sample size 25ml/0.85oz
Cleansing milk for every skin type, cleanses thoroughly. Leaving your skin feeling moisturized, fresh and calm.
My thoughts: Removes my make-up and leaves my skin feeling nice and soft, non-greasy. Scent is mild (thank you) I think this is just a basic and 'does what it's supposed to do' -product.
Might buy this someday.


This months Livbox was a smelly box.
Most of the products were heavily scented and I'm not such a big fan of that.
Some of the goodies were nice and I'm gonna use them to the last drop.

Hope you enjoyed this post and find it helpful!
