I'm a little late posting this as I was away on holiday when a lot of people got their boxes, but I wanted to post anyway because I thought you guys might want my thoughts, and I'm pretty excited!
I've always had a soft spot for Boudoir Prive - the high end, niche brands appealed to me a lot, and I was more than excited to discover a wedding invitation dropping through my letterbox informing me that the beauty box was teaming up with Joliebox from France and becoming Joliebox UK. As lots of you know I'm a huge Francophile having lived there for a bit, and I am head over heels in love with French skincare. I was already a fan of Boudoir Prive but this development left me excited for the access this would give them to even more brands, particularly ones that are harder to get hold of outside of France. The box is now sleek, black and polished and I'm more than a little in love with it.
The contents of the first box didn't disappoint, here they are:
1 OPI Gold Shatter Polish - Shatter polishes aren't something I use a lot, but having tried some of the 2true metallic ones towards the end of 2011, I found that they could be surprisingly wearable, so I'm excited to use this!
2 Mitchell and Peach Shower Wash - This smells very fresh and clean, lots of lavender so perfect for a pre-bedtime shower. Very handy for travel, in fact I'm writing this from my hotel room where I brought it along!
3 New CiD Cosmetics I-Gloss - Yet to try this, but if its anything like their lipsticks I'm sure I'll be in love.
4 Jane Iredale 24 Carat Gold Dust - A multi-use product that I will likely use on my cheeks. Very pretty.
5 Yon Ka Vital Defense - At the ripe old age of 26, products like this are things I'm thinking more and more about!
(Bonus) Kusmi detox tea - I love tea, so this will be nice to try. I like the fact that they are thinking of beauty from the inside out.
(Bonus) Joliebox concealer brush - A lovely touch and a brush I'm sure I'll get use out of.
Overall, colour me impressed. Some great full size products and a well rounded box. Very excited to see what else they have in store.
If you haven't seen my Battle of the Beauty Boxes video where I compare the services yet you can watch it here.

I'm signed up to glossy box but tempted to sign up to this now too! x
I really liked this box. Joliebox seems to be good, but I prefer Glossy Box and Feel Unique much more. xx
Love the OPI nail polish <3
