carmine

before coming here i've already heard so much about beauty box...why malaysia dun hv these kind of things one...
so...
after reading a lot of reviews of beauty boxes based in the UK...
I've decided to give carmine a try...
what is beauty box?
beauty box is something that u subscribe every month with the subscription fee of 10 Pounds and you will get a box with 5 or more luxurious beauty samples...
some of the samples are even in full size, which is a great deal for 10 Pounds..
the beauty of this box is that you don't have to spend a lot by buying the full product and you get to try any  new high end beauty products...
good for people like me who has an unhealthy appetite with cosmetics and skin care..XD  
so...the first beauty box i've known is called the birch box which is based in the US...
after that UK came out with their own beauty box companies too...
like glossy box, feel unique, boudoir prive and now carmine...
although getting so many samples with just 10P is consider a great deal but after converting it's still a bit too expensive...><
but thanks to fleurdeforce, i get to get my first carmine box 5P off..XD which is super awesome!  
after watching her review on the october carmine box, i decided to get for myself..woopie~~  
and i've just received it today ^^ 
it came like that which i think it's kinda hideous...hahaha 
but in actual fact there's another box inside..haha..a sleek black box that's good for storing...one down side is that it's quite hard to get the lid off..

after opening, it looks like this...so posh looking lor XD 
it comes with a description card telling you what samples you're getting
 now the fun part~
tada~~~  5 reasonably big samples~ and 3 of them are actually full size products
 1st product- trind nail repair natural , it's to strengthen and protect your nails which i totally need it now....my nails are in a very vulnerable state...chips off like nobody's business...annoys the hell out of me..
 balance me super moisturizing hand cream, i definitely need this, with this weather my hands gets dehydrated so easily and plus i just finished one tube of hand cream == 
 daniel sandler's eye delight in peach , it's a loose eye shadow which can be used either as an eye shadow or an eye shadow base which gives you some shimmer and chic effect...
 caudalie quenching sorbet creme, this is to hydrate and refresh your skin  which is also a perfect product for the dryness of autumn...
the balm-frat boy all in one shadow/blush, it's a multi purpose shadow/blush which comes with a peachy-apricot shade which compliments any skin tone...i mean who can't take pink blush?  

super like this box~ i will have to see next month's product to decide whether to continue subscribing or not coz 10 pounds can feed me more than a week...== which is horrible...why things here are so expensive..><

gotta mention this~ 
was baking with my flatmates yesterday ^^
halloween chocolate brownies ^^
