My first Jolie Box - my thoughts
The Jolie Box is the rebranded Boudoir Prive box and I am a new subscriber. I already subscribe to the Feel Unique beauty box which I love so I thought I'd try the new Jolie Box too, if I don't like it I can cancel just as easy.
The box is a matte black with the Jolie Box emblem in the middle. When I took it out of the packaging the black was slightly scuffed and compared to the Feel Unique box, it didn't look as nice.
The inside looked so pretty! The samples/goodies were wrapped in tissue paper and then tied together with a piece of hot pink ribbon.
Contents:
OPI - Gold shatter polish
Kusmi Detox Tea
Jane Eiredale gold dust shimmer powder
New cid i-gloss lipgloss
Mitchell and Peach shower gel
Vital Defence face cream
Jolie Box concealer brush (not in photo)
My thoughts..... I was looking forward to receiving this but I have to admit I was slightly disappointed at the contents. My favourite items were the OPI and the Mitchell and Peach shower gel. I don't think I'll continue my subscription as I prefer the Feel Unique box.
What did you think to this box or do you subscribe to another one?

Christmas crafting - Part 2
My second crafting post, I was meant to post this ages ago but I've only just finished them. I decided o make my own gift bags this year and here are my creations! Excuse the messy windowsill background!
I bought the plain kraft bags and decorated them using digi images, ribbon, metallic paper, bows, die cut snowflakes, glitter and gems!

Christmas crafting - Part 1
Sorry the photo isn't very good but here is a quick look at my christmas cards that I've made this year. I've only done 4 mainly due to time limits but they were so simple to make and anyone could make them.
What you need
Cards
Corner punch
Ribbon
Spotty paper downloaded from Pink Petticoat
Let me know if you've done any crafting for christmas this year!
The week that was....
This week was my last at work this year! It's so nice to be able to have christmas off and to relax for a change rather being rushed off my feet at work.
I also took my mum to see Russell Kane as a part of her christmas present. I took her to Nandos for tea first and then we went on to the gig. It was really good and she enjoyed it even though she said he got a bit rude at times!
I also decided to dye my hair again so I now have a red cast to it and it's only semi-permanent so it's no big problem if I change my mind about it in a few weeks!
And finally Harry won strictly, I think it was right he won but I loved Jason and Kristina.
I'm also going to try to schedule a few posts this week to make up for me having no time recently to blog and I'm also going to start my end of year post. There's going to be a few changed to my blog in the new year but I'll tell you more in that post.
Hope you all had a good week!

New - Lumiere cosmetics
A while ago I was contacted by Lumiere Cosmetics and asked if I wanted to try some products from their mineral range. Of course I jumped at the chance as I love mineral cosmetics. I was asked what colours I normally wear and was asked to send a photo so that they could colour match their products to me. So what did I get?
I received 7 samples of products: 3 eye pigments, 2 foundations and 3 blushers.
Eye pigments:
Charcoal Silkies
Graphite
Intrigued
Blushers:
Sweet Cherub
Autumn
Foundations:
Cool Cashmere
Cool Luminesse
I thought the foundations were a little to pale for me but I've tried them and they don't look too bad, perfect for winter. I've also tried one eye pigments and one blusher and they both looked great and these sample post will last ages! The powders are really soft and they blend and apply nice. Overall I'm impressed with them!
Lumiere is an American company and you can buy from them here.
