January Pink Parcel 2016

For those of you that haven't read my previous blog posts on Pink Parcel I shall tell you, in short, what it is.

Pink Parcel is a monthly subscription box all about your period. Every month they will send you a box filled with enough tampons or sanitary towels (depending on your preference) to get you through your period as well as a selection of other goodies to make you feel good, all for the bargain price of £12.99.
This month has definitely been one of my favourite boxes so far purely because there were a few products that were exclusive to Pink Parcel, which is always nice!


Be Happy, Be Healthy, Be Lovely notebooks - Three little pocket sized notebooks, designed by Pink Parcel. I mean, you can't really go wrong with notebooks can you? They're always going to come in handy, to make shopping lists with, blogging ideas, doodles, phone numbers, addresses etc!

Twenty First Century Herbs Skin Balm - This product is to help combat dry skin or eczema which, luckily, I don't suffer with this that unfortunately means I can't really rate this product. I didn't really like the smell of it or the consistency I found it was a little bit too runny considering it's a balm but it was a decent sized sample of the product!

Jealous Sweets Fruitilicious - If you like fruity sweets you will love these, as well as giving you a sugar boost they're also packed with vitamin c so you can't go wrong with that! I'm not a massive fan of jelly sweets and I have mentioned this before, I think it would be great if the option was there to pick what sort of confectionery you would like in your box each month!

Kiss Cosmetics Kisstick - Usually I don't do lipsticks I much prefer lipgloss or lip balms HOWEVER this lipstick goes on so smoothly, doesn't dry your lips out and the colour lasts! Amazing!! Really moisturising and great colour pay off!

Fablittlebag - Pink Parcel did it again!! They included tampon disposal bags despite the fact my subscription is for sanitary towels!! 

The London Tea Club Vanilla and Almond - If you have read the other Pink Parcel blog posts you will know I don't do any other tea other than regular.  This month was no different! HOWEVER the way that this was packaged was absolutely adorable!!!!! The loose tea leafs were in a plastic test tube and in a little brown envelop were two empty tea bags, obviously for you to put the loose tea leafs in. I honestly thought that this was such an amazing and unique idea. If you have a friend or family member that loves tea then I would highly recommend getting them something special from The London Tea Club for either birthday or, dare I say it, Christmas!

Bellapierre Shimmer Powder, Snowflake - This is one product that can be used in several different ways. You can use it as a cheek highlight, a brow highlight, an eye shadow and you could even lightly dust it over your shoulders and collar bones for a body shimmer. The product itself is a loose powder so if you are not careful it will go everywhere!! I have been using it as a cheek highlighter and let me tell you it is super pigmented so you need only the smallest amount BUT if you do accidentally get too much product on your cheek (or wherever you put it) don't worry because it blends in really nice!


Pip and Nut Coconut Almond Butter - Definitely more coconut than almond so if you don't like coconut you will hate this. I had mine on toast but I actually think it would have gone better in a banana smoothie! The concept is great though, especially if you're in a rush in the morning, you can just grab one of these little sachets, throw it in your bag and spread in on some toast when you get to work!


Sass Refreshing Wipes - Just before Christmas Pink Parcel teamed up with the brand Sass to add a feminine hygiene product in each box. I'm going to be really blunt. I don't like the products at all! I don't like the smell and I find that the wash is too soapy for downstairs! I would recommend femmefresh for a feminine hygiene product, not sass!


Saving the best until last Vichy Normaderm Beautifying Anti-Blemish Care - Vichy used this months Pink Parcel to launch their new product , this was with Pink Parcel subscribers before it was out on the shelves!!  The sample itself is only tiny, I got three uses out of mine, so that isn't enough to tell you if the product worked or not BUT it smells amazing and because it's a thin moisturiser you don't need a lot to go a long way!! This is definitely something I will be purchasing!


Click on the bold pink writing to be directed to the websites for the relevant products, the only ones that do not have links are the Pink Parcel Notebooks and the Sass wipes because you can't get them online.
