February 2015 Pink Parcel - Heart stoppingly good?

I'm feeling the love with this month's Pink Parcel. As always not only do I get all my months worth of tampons but I also get several full sized beauty products, chocolate and tea. With a Valentines theme ... did it steal my heart? #TotallyCheesey!


Organic Surge - Skin Perfecting Face Polish
This face polish has a very fresh scent coming from the lemon and rosemary essential oils. You can feel the olive stone granules, although a small amount doesn't contain too many so it doesn't give an intense exfoliated feel. With a smooth creamy texture, great scent and mild exfoliating granules this would be great for daily use in your morning routine. 

Mad Beauty - Pop Heart Lip Balm and Mad Glitter Nail File

Two very cute items from madbeauty.com. The lip balm is coconut scented with a white smooth to oily texture. The little pot looks so cute but it's only half full of balm which is a shame. The file looks great with glittery lips but it's filing texture is on the rough side. Overall both products look so sweet and Valentines themed but they aren't top quality, just some fun.



Pukka - 'Love' and Divine - White Chocolate

I'm looking forward to trying this tea. It contains rose, chamomile and lavender. I've never tried rose before in a tea but I'm sure it will taste floral and calming. All Divine chocolate is melt in the mouth delicious so I'm saving this for my birthday next month so I can enjoy it with no diet guilt. I know white chocolate isn't everyone's taste but there are just times in your life when milk chocolate is just not enough.

MUA 'Romantic Efflorescence' Eyeshadow Palette and Bellapierre Eyeshadow Brush No.35


This was quite a surprise. I've never had an eyeshadow palette in any of my beauty box subscriptions so to get this from Pink Parcel kinda blew my mind. 

My swatch pictures aren't the best (still trying to work out lighting for the photos) so head over to MUA for some slightly higher quality ones. I popped on their website and noticed they are currently offering a free mascara if you buy this palette.


I love the shadow names (from top left to bottom right): Mesmeric, Tempt, Corrupt, Obsessed, Lavish, Fiery, Bewitch, Magnet, Exposed, Siren, Reveal, Captivate.


The colours range from plums through to browns and metallic's. There is a mix of mattes and shimmers, with the shimmers slightly heavier in pigment. If you're looking for high pigmented matte's you will have to layer it thickly.


The Bellapierre brush is a perfect eyeshadow brush with a medium amount of bristles, small head to get into your eye creases and a lovely long handle. I've just realised you can't see the brush in my picture so check it out here. The brush alone is £14.99 which covers the price of the whole box (plus some). As always Pink Parcel has gone beyond my expectations of a beauty box ... without being a beauty box.  


Check Pink Parcel out .. £9.99 a month for all this plus your months supply of tampons!
