Bean's mum's blog

My third degustabox box arrived today and I was very excited as I had saw other peoples boxes yesterday and knew what was going to arrive so knew, in advance, that I was going to love it.

Not sure what happened this month but my empties went potty so I will only do small reviews for each of my empty products as otherwise I will be here forever and my blogposts are backing up as I have been lazy and my birthday presents are coming in pre birthday so I have a lot to do before my march boxes start.

These are my February 2014 boxes.

Hubby is gone for work for the night so I have decided to try out these foot masks tonight. These are by Cettua and are supposed to give me soft and moisturised feet.  They contain urea, salicylic acid, be tone, Shea butter and peppermint oil and are alcohol, paraben, PEG and pigment free as well as being hypo allergenic.

I have broken my no buy and this close to my birthday I really can't be bothered to get back onto the horse again. I got my birthday money early from hubby so I got some products I want to try, either for my blog or my own personal use or through pure curiosity.  This was done over a few weeks and has some items from superdrug, Asda, yves Rocher, the body shop and a magazine freebie. I also have a few more items coming, including one huge purchase, but I want to clear this stuff from where it was so I am splitting my haul. My first items came from superdrug and are mostly bought for blogposts or through curiosity. From left to right I purchased: Tanya Burr lipgloss in 'Vampire Kiss' Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in 005 Crush Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in 220 Showy Maybelline New York color tattoo 24hr in 35 On and on bronze. Vitamin E skincare Hot cloth cleanser with muslin cloth. I really wanted to try the hot cloth cleanser as miss ...

My sixth edition memebox came this morning and it was a little bit of a surprise as it came really fast and the man rang my bell at half seven this morning.  Poor guy almost got a mouthful as I thought hubby had rang the bell instead of using his keys after a night shift but I was happy to see him as normally parcelforce comes after noon. I really liked my 5-2 box and after seeing spoilers on makeup talk I am guessing I will love this one too. I love these pink boxes as they are so girly and I love all things girly. This box is nicely full and mostly skincare so I am over the moon.  So, what is in my box? The first item in my box is the silky and shiny foot mask by Cettua that is a sock application and probably the most interesting product I have seen for a while and I really look forward to using it.  According the back of the pack it soften calluses and moisturises feet, leaves feet smooth and refreshes and release...

I have to admit to be slightly over a lot of the British boxes. They either have reoccurring products or are terrible, apart from a few exceptions, so I have started to look at foreign boxes to get some variation.  This is my second foreign box this month and it is the memebox #5-2.  Meme box is mainly skincare and it is from Korea. I saw it on YouTube and wanted to try it myself and this is my first box from them, although I have a few on preorder too. It arrived in an outer bag but inside is this beautiful pink box. I love the colour and it arrived really fast since it was only shipped from Korea last week. So, what was inside? These are the contents of this box. It cost me $29.99 including postage, so just under twenty pounds, and has quite a few items inside it. The first sample in my box is a 7 sample pack of lipozone body ampoule. According to the leaflet they increase the skin firmness and reduce fat cells and cellulite. Sound great in...

My souksouk February 2014 box turned up today and I was really excited to see it here as it was only dispatched yesterday and they said we had an extra valentines treat. As last month I love the magazine and this month it focuses mainly on skin are which I like as I prefer skin and body care to cosmetics. Underneath the magazine was a pack of lavender sleep patches. According to the packaging these remove waste and promote relaxation. They are patches that you apply to the ball of your feet while you sleep. I might try these tonight. The trial pack we received has a rrp of £3.99. Under the patches were the rest of the products. To be honest nothing really excites me like last month's lipstick but unlike my glossybox I can, and will, use it all as I like trying out new skin and body care products and the chocolate won't last long. This was the extra in my box and was consumed very fast. I really enjoyed it and have eaten this brand be...

My second notanotherbill package came a few days ago and I was really excited, although from the one sneak peek I was saw I was expecting a bag. The packaging was chevron patterned this month and was really beautiful. As per norm, Edward saw it and got excited. He loves Momma's parcels. It was beautifully packaged and I loved the black ribbon. Inside was a beautiful leopard print scarf. It is huge and beautifully soft. It is made by Becksondergaard and is 100% cotton and like last month with my ring I am in love.  It is so beautiful I couldn't help but take this picture of how the fabric looks when you wear it and it isn't flat. Just like last month with my ring that is currently on my left hand notanotherbill has outdone itself. Roll on next month. x-J-x If you enjoyed this review and would like to read more you can follow me using one of the methods on the sidebar or you can follow me on twitter @edwardsmum2011.

My February glossybox came early morning, my Hermes lady is ace btw, and after last weeks ridiculous box I was looking forward to seeing if this one was as bad or if last months was unusually bad. The box is valentines themed, which is stupid as they knew we wouldn't get it until after valentines day. I like the box but I don't like how shiny it is as I preferred the matte boxes. But what did it look like inside. These are my products. To be honest it is a bit of an anticlimax but I love the packaging on the product on the right. I know I have the nail varnish already and won't use it and there are two eye products I can't use as my eyesight is very bad and the body shimmer don't appeal to me. You can't see it but there was also a Lindt milk chocolate bar in it, like the ones I got free in my asos orders, and I enjoyed that. But what were all the products. First is the Toni and Guy creative stick it up gum.  Really, g...
