PRODUCT REVIEW - MARCH JOLIE BOX

I'm a really big fan of Jolie Box, I've had a few boxes from them and I haven't been disappointed by a single item I've received and this box is no exception. I like how all their boxes are the same so there's no ''this person got this why didn't i?'' criticisms. The March edition is the first box to provide you with all full size products inside their own branded draw string bag and the first edition of their magazine. I did only receive my box today, but as I've already used 3 of the products before i thought I'd put my post up today and give you an idea of what you can get this month.



£10 + £2.95 P&P*


YARDLEY BODY WASH £3.50 200ML
I LOVE Yardley products so i was really happy to see this product in this months box. I received some of their products for Christmas in other scents, so I'm very much looking forward to trying 'Royal English Daisy' body wash. This product comes in three floral scents which leaves the skin feeling very soft and hydrated. This is an absolute bargain of a product and i totally recommend it, it's just so lovely!

DAVINES MOISTURISING BALM £11.99 75ML
This natural and conditioning balm is used for hair, face & body to leave you feeling totally nourished and looked after. This balm is 98% natural and contains lots of oils & vitamins so it's really good for you. I'm not usually a fan of oil products on my skin, but i find this one to be really good considering the different types of oils there is. I've tried a sample of this product before and i really liked the couple of times i used it so i'm really looking forward to giving it a longer try. I think this product is truly worth the price tag and it will certainly be reperchasing it when this tube runs out.

EYEKO SKINNY EYELINER £9.50
The only thing to critics about this product is the fact i already have the exact same colour (purple) which i received in another beauty box. I know this isn't Jolie Box's fault, but it would of been nice to maybe try another Eyeko product which hasn't already been doing the beauty box rounds. As i still have my other pencil I'll probably be giving this away as I'd rather it go to a good home! I'm still not overly fond of the 're branding' from Eyeko and i still wouldn't say it was worth the price tag!

LCN NAIL POLISH £5.50 8ML
I applied this polish as soon as it arrived and so far so good. The first coat gives a really nice pale white gloss with lots of shimmer, but the more coats applied the more opaque the colour gets with glitter specs rather than fine shimmer. It says it's fast drying, which i might have to dosage with as I've tried other brands who have dried a lot quicker, but it's ok! This brand new product comes in four pastel shades, so it'll be perfect for this years S/S trend.

The final item is a Joliebox mirror! A perfect handbag size.




I'm really excited to see Jolie Box bringing out a magazine as i think it sets them apart from other beauty boxes. The magazine gives you 23 pages of reviews, hints & tips, shopping ideas and interviews with an in depth look at the JB products they've bought to you in previous boxes. The layout is aesthetically pleasing and i really hope they continue with it!


Overall i really like this box, just like the other two i've recieved. I can see some keyboard warriors maybe being disappointed that one of the 5 products is a mirror and maybe the polish is quite a small size, but when you add up the total of this box it's worth £30.50! That says it all i think!

Do you receive a monthly Jolie Box? What do you think of the March edition?

  1. I signed up for JolieBox yesterday so I'm excited to see what I get in my first box. I do really like the idea of the magazine, and the fact that it comes in a bag rather than all of that messy packaging in other boxes. This does look like a really good box with a variety of products, the mirror is such a cute idea too. I'm disappointed that Carmine has joined with Glossybox rather than continuing on its own as I feel Glossybox is hyped up with the majority of us ending up disappointed when they ignore our 'beauty profiles' and send us 3 very similar products in one box. JolieBox is definitely something I'm looking forward to try and hopefully continue with in the future :)

  6. Looks like a really good box. I cancelled my JolieBox last month as I couldn't afford to keep that and my GlossyBox subscription going. I got the Davines balm in my valentine's glossybox was really impressed with it :)

  8. Although I don't receive the JolieBox, I am quite envious! Lovely array of products (and they're so big!) that I thought were interesting. I'll have to check them out somehow.

  15. I was so excited when my email came to say it was on its way with full sized products in tow. I've now tried all the products I received in this month's box and I've got to say, I love them all! Can't wait for next month's now, and I agree with everyone else about the magazine.. It just puts Joliebox that step ahead of all the other boxes and it's a great way for them to interact with their customers as well as showcase products! :)
