Hey Everyone. I hope you are all having a glorious weekend. Today I want to show you the contents of my April JolieBox and my initial thoughts of the products. This month's box is named 'The Changing Of The Seasons'.
Left To Right:
Balance Me Daily Essentials Cleanse and Smooth Face Balm ~ £20.00 For 125ml/£4.00 For 15ml
The Information:
Cleanse and smooth face balm is a daily must-have for its dual cleansing
and smoothing action to enhance your skin’s natural radiance.
Anti-oxidant rich Arctic cloudberry, gentle Roman chamomile and
skin-brightening red mandarin smooth away daily grime and make-up
leaving skin soft, radiant and calmly clean. Gently polishing oatmeal
sloughs away dead skin cells and encourages cell renewal. Shea and cocoa
butter, softening rosehip, camellia, kukui nut and virgin coconut oils,
rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins and lipids provide a layer of
skin-boosting goodness which benefits both young and more mature skins. This balm is recommended for normal to
dry/sensitive skins but it also works very effectively on all skin
types.
Application:
Warm a small amount of balm in clean hands. Smooth over face and neck,
gently massaging the balm with your finger tips in circular movements,
allowing the oats to polish the skin for at least 30 seconds. Apply warm
water and continue massaging for a further 30 seconds. Close eyes and
wipe carefully over lids and eye lashes, avoiding direct contact with
eyes. Wet a muslin cloth with warm water and remove balm
residue from your skin. Pat skin dry then apply moisture-rich face
cream or radiance face oil.
Ingredients:
Prunus amygdalus dulcis (sweet almond) oil, Colloidal oatmeal, Cera alba
(unrefined beeswax), Mangifera indica (mango) seed butter,
Butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter***, Theobroma cacao (cocoa) butter,
Polyglyceryl-4 caprate, Oleic/Linoleic/Linolenic polyglycerides,
Hydroxystearic/Linolenic/Oleic polyglycerides, Rubus chamaemorus
(cloudberry) seed extract, Cocos nucifera (virgin coconut) oil***,

Camellia oleifera (camellia) oil, Citrus reticulata (mandarin red)*,

Coriandrum sativum (coriander)*, Tocopherol (vitamin E), Rosmarinus
officinalis (rosemary) extract, Limonene**, Linalool**, Citral *natural
pure essential oil **naturally occurring in essential oils ***certified
organic ingredient.
My Thoughts:
This product feels smooth on swatching. This is a liquid-gel formula with a citrus scent. I think this will be quite refreshing to use. I haven't used this type of liquid/gel wash off cleanser/make-up remover before so I am looking forward to seeing if I like it. The information for this product is not on the JolieBox website yet.

The Information:
It’s suitable for all skin types and contains gorgeous and organic
ingredients. Bursting with vitamins and pure plant actives that help to visibly firm and intensely nourish the skin. The Shea Butter softens and hydrates the skin whilst
blueberry is used to revitalise and rejuvenated. The Echinacea and Sea
Kelp improve elasticity and help smooth fine lines.
Application:
Warm a small amount in the palms of your hands and massage into your
face and neck in a circular and upwards motion. Before applying makeup,
allow at least 1 minute for the rich ingredients to be absorbed into the
skin. For best results apply after cleansing twice a day.

gum,sodium.
My Thoughts:
I am not sure about the smell of this, but it does smooth into the skin very easily. I wasn't too sure if this was for my face or body before looking up the information on the JolieBox website as it wasn't clear on the information card. I will give this a try.
Pure Fiji Exotic Bath and Body Oil ~ £24.50 For 235ml/8oz
The Information:
For centuries Pacific islanders have used a blend of virgin coconut oil
and exotic nut extracts to moisturize, nourish and protect both skin and
hair. This nourishing blend absorbs quickly and will rejuvenate,
replenish, hydrate, nourish and firm your skin.
Application:
Use as a massage oil,
bath oil or daily moisturizing treatment.
My Thoughts:
Another multi-tasker which I love the idea of. This product can be used on the body, hair and scalp. Coconut fans will absolutely love this scent. It smells gorgeous, just like an exotic holiday in a bottle. It sinks into the skin instantly and is not at all greasy like some oils can be. The product information for this is not yet on the JolieBox website.
BellaPierre Black Mascara ~ £19.99
The Information:
Bellapierre long lasting black mascara was formulated to help create thicker and fuller lashes.
Application:
Apply the mascara to the upper lashes first.
Take the brush and hold it underneath the top lashes close to the roots
and sweep brush upwards from roots to tips. Apply a few coats to build
your lashes to the desired volume. For bottom lashes, use the tip of the
brush to apply a thin coat of mascara in delicate strokes.
Ingredients:
Water, Iron Oxides CI 77489, 77491, 77492,
77499, Polyisobutene, Acrylates/ Octylacrylamide Copolymer, Butylene
Glycol, Glyceryl Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Peg-100 Stearate,
Copernica Cerfera (Carnauba) Wax, Hexylene Glycol, Caprylyl Glycol,
Phenoxyethanol Potassium Hydroxide, Sodium Polyacrylate, Cholesterol
C12-13, Iso-Alkylate and Olea (Olive) Europaea Oil Unsaponisiables Silk
Powder.
My Thoughts:
A mascara is always handy. It's nice that it's a full size product. I love finding a great mascara so lets hope it is for £19.99. I do like the packaging. It's simple and chic. This was not on the JolieBox website either.
KMS California ~ £Various
The Information:
Flexible
shaping and elastic hold. Unlimited, protective heat styling without the damage.
Styles last until the next wash. Humidity resistance. Restyleability.
Anti-breakage.
Application:
Spray into towel-dried hair, blow dry and shape with hot tools. For maximum shaping, spray section by section.
My Thoughts:
I could not find this on the JolieBox website and when I looked on the KMS California website there was product information, but I could not find a price so I have added a Google search link above. I guess this product is meant to work for people that wash their hair every other day, but may style it with hot tools every day. It's good if it works, but I'm not the best tester for this as I only blow dry my hair.
So now onto the 2nd issue of the JOLIEMAG.
There is a variety of goodness in this month's magazine including interviews, April Pastels, Contour and Highlighting Tips, Spring Trends and Flawless Face Tips. There is also a discount code for boticca.com.
I will use all of the products in this month's box, but the ones I am most looking forward to trying are the Balance Me Daily Essentials Cleanse and Smooth Face Balm, the Pure Fiji Exotic Bath and Body Oil and the BellaPierre Black Mascara.
