With
the set-up of my beautiful new blog, I totally neglected to put together posts
for the July Moi-meme box, or the lovely quarterly box that arrived last month
as well. With a box due later in August, this does mean you’ll be owed not one,
not two, but three posts all about the contents of the various boxes, and my
thoughts on them.
As
it’s the first of the two boxes I received in July, it only seems fair that I
talk about what I got in the July Monthly box first.
Moi-meme
Original Candle
If
you are anything like me, you’re probably a stickler for candles. I just love
how much they can completely transform the look, feel and atmosphere of a room.
To me, a room with lit candles always has so much more of a romantic and relaxed
feel to it than one without, and so they are something I can never have too
many of.
I
can be a little funny when it comes to scents, in that I’m quite picky. Not
that I think that’s abnormal at all, naturally you want to like the scent of
the candle you are lighting as its going to fill the room.
A
little while back Moi-meme put a lovely citrus scented candle in one of the
boxes, so I was thrilled to see they’d done another, which was bigger than the
last. This one is aptly named for the time of year: Summer Punch. I found
myself putting off burning this candle, simply because it smelled so good and I
didn’t want to use it.
For
a little while it sat on my vanity and I found myself picking it up to sniff it
whenever I went past it because I loved the smell so much. When I finally did
decide to light it, it just got even better. It filled the whole room with its gorgeous
scent without being sickly or overpowering. The candle provided a slow and even
burn, indicating it’ll last well, which is great news for me as I light it
frequently!
SugarSin
- Sparkling Rosé Gummies
The
previous monthly boxes have had chocolate as the sweet treat – which I am not
complaining about in the slightest! However, month was a little different and
instead of chocolate we had these delicious gummies. Rosé flavoured no less!
Having
a massive sweet tooth and being a lover of food, naturally I was just happy to
have something I can put in my mouth… not like that! But seriously, these
gummies are all natural, gluten and dairy free, so if ever there was a ‘healthy’
sweet for you to turn to, this is certainly it, and they are absolutely delicious
and oh so moreish!
Phase
Zero Gloss
This
is a brand I’ve come across before thanks to Moi-meme as they’ve previously sent
a pretty pink blusher that I adore so much I use daily. Whilst it made me very
pleased to see another Phase Zero item to try, I admit that I wasn’t ecstatic about
it being a gloss.
I
get that gloss is the go to for summer, but I’ve personally never liked them. For
a start I prefer a matte finish, but also any gloss I’ve used in the past just
ends up being sticky, and I get so iterated with my hair getting stuck in it I
end up cleaning it off. It would be unfair for me not to at least try it
though, and actually when I did I was pleasantly surprised.
The
colour is subtle, which is typical for a gloss, but it was pretty shade, and
complementary to my natural skin tone. The gloss wasn’t tacky or sticky like so
many I’ve used in the past but I would say the wear time is about what you
would expect for a product of this type. You’ll need regular top ups throughout
the day, which personally isn’t something I can usually be bothered with.
It
did do something I hadn’t expected though, and that was add a little punch of moisture
back into my lips. Given its subtle appearance and lack of sticky texture this
would make it nice for those no make up days, where it doesn’t matter if the
colour has worn away or not. So I guess in summary, whilst lip gloss may not be
my thing, this is by far the best one I’ve tried in a long time.
All
in all I was really pleased with the July box. I’m not sure if its deliberate or
not, but all of the monthly boxes so far have been of a pink theme, which has
made them really enjoyable to do photos for! The June box had been a little bit
of a slump for me, but they really brought it back with the July box, and I can’t
wait to see what we get this month!
