Carmine FEB BOX 'alternative' box

So i always buy carmine boxes, but i wont be after this one. I always buy the boxes as 'one off's' and i loved carmine because everyone got the same. Been buying like this for months with no problems, however this mth i decided to subscribe since i have unsubbed to joliebox and feeluinque has finished....., despite me subscribing 3 weeks before shipping, they decide new subscribers would get their 'leftovers' from a previous october box. Which i bought!!

Anyway rant over! 
this is what is in the ALTERNATIVE box :( might be good if you dont already have the items, but i bought the october box, and after liking the daniel sadler i bought it in 3 other colours lol




Yardley perfume sample
daniel sadler shadow in ice
andrea fullerton nail varnish
white glo toothpaste
fratboy blush

as i already have the daniel sadler and fratboy, they wont be used. neither will perfume sample

the toothpaste and nail varnish are nice and i will use these


i actually got 2 carmine boxes (double dissapointent lol) and i got the nail varnish in 2 diff colours (yay)
Naomi and Joanna
they are really good nail varnishes and excellent colours, although i like any colour varnish
i did 2 coats for the pictures and prob 1 would have been enough. great quality





Final thoughts....well lets just say its a good job i get my next 4 boxes free due to referring my friends this month!
. getting pretty sick of being let down by beauty boxes. I will now only subscribe to Glossybox and buy latest in beauty when they bring a box out

Glossy box & Boudoir Prive/jolieox DECEMBER

Ive been a greedy girl and ordered 4GB. I received one the other day which i reviewed. got 3 more today and my joliebox.
Heres what i got. soooo excited i LOVE the December boxes





Ive tried the opi today...cant get a good photo of it but i love it, gives a really good effect and the glitter means its perfect for xmas. ive put it over white today.
The 24carot shimmer is amazing. got it all over trying to break the seal lol, but another which i will use at all the partys these next few weeks.
Now the CID gloss i was very happy to see and in a lovely light pink which i can use daily. Im more into gloss than lipstick. Love how the light is auto rather than having to switrch it on like on the lipstick from Carmine last mth.
I always love to try new shower wash. however im quite stocked up with the GB ones (which i love) so wont be used for a while.
The tea i will give a try, nice little extra! plus the make up brush which i nearly forgot about and had to rumage in the box to find it lol
Only thing i wont use is the wrinkle cream. I have loads already.

Sooo Glossy boxes. So happy i got the make up palettes as i got the mascara in my first one. I got 2 dark and 1 bright. I actually prefer the bright unlike most lol. 
Ive sorted out my beautybox gift present for my sister and made a few little crackers with the deborah nail varnish in for my neices...and this is what is left over for me.... well worth it when i paid around £20 for the 4 lol


and ive made good use of all the boxes




I think Glossybox, boudoir prive and Feelunique have all done amazing this mth....bring on Carmine
