October Pink Parcel Review

October Pink Parcel Review

In this month’s parcel I received the usual tampons, next month they say they plan to add pads, and a little box of full size goodies.

I got my teapigs tea and a little bar of Doisy and Dam chocolate. Just what you need when you’re all bloated and craving chocolate.

Tea Pigs - Chocolate Flake Tea Bag

You steep the tea for 3 minutes and then add a little milk. It’s different; I enjoyed it but am not planning on rushing out and buying a box of this flavour.

Doisy and Dam – Ginger, Chilli Flakes and Hemp Seed

Not my favourite.

This month I got three full size products and one sample size product. They were:

Yardley – Energising Peony Body Lotion (sample size)

The first thing I noticed was the smell; it was nice but a bit grandma-ish. It had a really thick luxurious feel and sunk in quite quickly, isn't sticky once dried and my skin felt really soft. I enjoyed the sample but wouldn't buy it. The smell is a bit overpowering for me.

OPI Nail Lacquer – Girl Color

The colour is really nice, a very light iridescent pink. It goes on well, dries quickly. It’s OPI, so it’s amazing.

Kubiss London Lip Gloss – Super Smooth, Number 14

Let me just say, I do not like lip gloss, it sticks to everything. This one is no exception and seemed super sticky to me. It smelt like fake grape but it’s really pretty on. I haven’t heard of this brand before, so I was excited to try something new.

L’oréal Paris – Revitalift 10 Repair, Night

As a 24 year old, I don't really use these products and don’t want to have to for the next few years. I tried it out anyway in the spirit of fairness. I have really sensitive skin and it’s heavily perfumed, so I had a slight reaction to it. My skin felt really soft and hydrated. The cream was very thick and I am sure it would work for someone who needs it.

I have noticed that a lot of the products I get with pink parcel are for older skin. I just give them to my mum, but I do wonder why that is.

I love Pink Parcel and cannot imagine not getting it. It make’s that time of the month much easier. It is the perfect little treat each month.
