My pink parcel is here! And again this month I couldn't resist and I read the spoiler on the pink parcel webpage...! The box contains 25 tampons (I chose U by Kotex but other brands are also available - and hopefully in October towels will be available as well) and some extras to lift your mood! One of the advantages of this box is that the box is slim and it fits through most letterboxes! No need to worry that you have to collect it from your post office!
This is what I received in order of preference:
This is what I received in order of preference:
L'Oreal Revitalift 10 Repair Night Cream - 50 ml full size
I am so happy to receive the L'Oreal Revitalift night cream! Last month I received an Elizabeth Arden mascara, now a L'oreal night cream! Amazing job Pink Parcel! I am out of night creams and this saves me from buying a new one! It is sold for £15.99 in Boots, so already this cream covers the cost of the box! I think that the cream should come in a box, but I am not 100% sure. My guess is that pink parcel had to remove the box to fit the cream into the slim box. The box was bursting with products when I opened it!
price: £15.99 50ml, full size
value to me: £15.99 It's a good price for a night cream! I usually pay that much or even a bit more for my night cream

OPI Nail Lacquer in Girl Color (pink with shimmer) - full size 15 ml
This is a very big sized nail lacquer by OPI! 15 ml! The one I received is in Girl Color, which means light pink with a bit of shimmer in it. It looks really pretty and subtle! I had OPI nail polishes before, and they are good. I don't have a similar shade so I am happy with this product as well!
price: £7.27 15ml, full size. This is the amazon price, the usual price is £11.95!
value to me: £4 I wouldn't spend £7 for a nail polish (£11.95 no way!) and there are more some good more affordable brands out there.

Kubiss Lip Gloss No 14 - full size
There is a bit of a pink theme this month (See also the chcolate I received). I don't know if it was intentional or it just happened! The 3rd product I received is a full size Kubiss lip gloss. I haven't heard of this brand before but I am happy to discover new ones! However, I don't wear lip gloss, lip gloss never stays for more than 10 minutes on my lips! This will be a gift to a friend.
price: £1.99 I found only one webpage selling it.
value to me: £1.99 I haven't tried it but £1.99 it's a very low price. I just hope that the quality doesn't match the price.

Little extras
This month I received my usual Doisy & Dam chocolate in ginger, chili flakes & hemp seed flavour, a teapigs tea temple in chcolate flake flavour and a Yardley blue orchid body lotion sachet.
Chocolate is a must for this box! This month's Doisy & Dam chocolate was a bit hot for me! But the colour of the packaging is so cute! I like that both the chocolate and the tea are different to the ones I received last month!
The Yardley body lotion is also an extra with a £1 off coupon at the back (shop at www.yardleylondon.co.uk and use code FLORAL14 at checkout).
price: £2.00 for the 40g chocolate + 20p the tea bag
value to me: £1.20 I am not sure that this 40g chocolate is worth £2!

U by Kotex
This is exactly what I received also last month. 25 tampons (you can ask for more if you need more). I chose the american brand U by Kotex and I was happy with them last month. I hope that Pink Parcel launches finally the new website so I would be able to buy towels instead.
price:$4.75 (~£2.85) not currently sold in UK
value to me: £2.85 Sounds a reasonable price for 25 tampons

My impressions
The price of this box is £9.95. (if you are a new customer your first box will be £5.95!)
Total value of the box: £30.33
Value to me: £26.03
Another great value box! Thank you Pink Parcel! I am going to use most of the products. I am going to gift only the lip gloss and I am thrilled I received a full size night cream in my box! Keep up the great work pink parcel!
