I've combined the past two months boxes into the one post for one main reason. I haven't loved the past two boxes. Their birthday box from a few months ago was amazing. I wrote a raving post on how impressed I was with the items I received. Sadly, this level of expectation has not been met in the past two boxes - and I hate saying that, but I strive to always keep these posts honest. Instead of talking about all the products that I haven't really loved, I'm going to summarise the two boxes, and then gush about the one product that stood out among the rest.
September Box (top two pictures)
The standout item in this box for me was the Designer Brands Twist n Go nail polish remover. I haven't had a chance to use this yet, but I've always wanted to try a nail polish remover pot. This product is vegan and they don't test on animals - which is always great to see! The other items in the box were a lip liner, whitening toothpaste, sample size hair products, lip tint stick, and a sample tea bag. Sadly, just run of the mill products, nothing too memorable for me. In saying that though, the toothpaste and hair products will come in handy whenever I travel. As for the lip products, I'll be passing them on to friends who I know will appreciate them more than I could.

I did like the look of this box a bit better than the month before. It included an oil based hair treatment, nail polish, eyeshadow quad, sample moisturiser, sample tea, chocolate, and a highlighter. Even though I have oily hair, and I still plan to try out the hair treatment because I've never used anything like that before - so my hair could probably use the treatment! The nail polish will be passed on to my mum, and I will also be passing the eyeshadow quad onto friends - I'm just not game enough to wear that shade of blue. The one item that impressed and excited me the most and made me forget about all the products I didn't love, was the highlighter. I've been on the hunt for a good highlighter for quite some time now, but haven't found one that I really loved, until this arrived on my doorstep. It packs some serious glow, but there is no glitter to be seen. It's also Australian made, vegan, cruelty free, and contains natural ingredients - YAY!
I'm hoping that next months box will go back to being amazing, but overall I can't complain. I am so blessed to get the opportunity to try these boxes and review them for you all, and that in itself is good enough. Plus, did I mention how much I love that highlighter!
