My August 2012 rubybox | August rubybox review

I am loving my August 2012 rubybox, as it contains two products that I have been wanting to try for a while now and a new fragrance to add to my travel, fragrance collection! We went away this weekend and I found it is so much easier taking the tester size fragrances in my toiletry bag, rather than the full size breakable-glass bottle!!!

Esse Gel Cleanser – this locally produced, organic, deep-cleansing gel cleanser combines the natural oils of peppermint and spearmint, which help improve mirco-circulation, in the skin. It gives your skin a bit of a wake-up call and leaves it feeling well cleansed and refreshed. Esse is a range I have heard so much about and I was super excited to discover it in this months box! It is recommended to use this cleanser on normal, combination skins and oily skin in the morning and the evening but only in the evening on dry skin.

Maybelline Great Lash “lots of lashes” – This iconic mascara is loved by make-up artists and beauty editors the world over but is one of those products that I have always seen at the store and heard so much about, but not actually tried! Well now I have the chance. I am a Maybelline girl anyway so I do not need any convincing, I usually use the Define-A-Lash Mascara but I must stay I am now a convert. As part of Great Lash’s 40th Birthday Maybelline have added the new “Great Little Grabber” brush, which amazingly gets to every lash, giving your lashes awesome definition and a wonderful curl. This is definitely a must for your make-up bag!

Paco Rabanne Lady Million – This fragrance is described as being “sparkling yet sensual”! I love bold fragrances and Lady Million certainly packs a punch, it has distinctly fruity undertones, with one of favourites, neroli oil taking the lead. The wonderful fragrance is further enhanced by the wonderful scent of jasmine, gardenia and the spicy warmth of amber. Can you tell I LOVE it!

rubybox professional Classic Angled Blush Brush – One can never have too many make-up brushes! This brush aims to define your cheekbones to the max. The angled bristles allow you to create a dramatically defined cheek with great precision, giving you a truly sculpted finish.
