This is my first Pink Parcel!!! I am really happy with what I have received! I couldn't resist checking the spoilers, and the box totally made me look forward to "these" days of the month!
The Pink Parcel subscription costs £9.95 (including P&P). This was my first box and I paid only £5.95, an offer available to all customers ordering their first box! How amazing is that?!? The box contains 25 tampons (sanitary towels will be available soon according to Pink Parcel) and a few treats. What makes Pink Parcel different for me is their customer service. I was always included and informed of any delays. I had to contact the team because of a small problem with my order, and everyone was polite and helpful. In their webpage it is written that if you need more than 25 tampons, you should let them know. They really work hard to keep their customers happy! (and I don't think it is easy when dealing with women having their period!) I feel like I have a friend taking care of me!

This is what I received in my box:
Garnier 5 Sec Optical Blur Smoothing Perfecting Primer
My primers is almost over so the timing is perfect! Garnier 5 Sec Optical Blur Primer promises to blur the appearnance of shine, fine lines, wrinkles and the appearance of pores. I have fine lines only around my eyes, but I need a product for my pores and shine bits! Bring the primer to me! I tried the primer and I really like the result. Pores are covered and my skin looks smooth! It gives a mat finish and it is a very good base for make-up! I will definitely use the whole tube!
price: £9.99 full size you can buy it in Boots.
value to me: £9.99 It works exactly how a primer should work! I am happy to pay £10 for the result it gives.

Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Maximum Volume Black Mascara
Wow! An Elizabeth Arden product!!! Full size!!! I can't believe it! There was an Elizabeth Arden in one of the previous Pink Parcel boxes! I didn't think that they would include another Elizabeth Arden product! I have already 3 mascaras open, and I received another one in Birchbox this month (new mascara month!) so I will wait before I use this one. The colour is black and I will definitely use it. I wear mascara everyday and it is a must-have product for me! Amazing choices so far!
price: £6.50 I found it in fragrance direct. Boots sells it for £21!!! I think it is the same product.
value to me: £8 This is how much I spend usually for my mascaras.

Witch Anti-Blemish Redness Relief Moisturiser
I haven't heard this brand before to be honest. This Anti-Blemish Redness Relief moisturiser fits perfectly to the theme of the box! It is another full size product! It contains hazel extract and corrects redness while it helps to soothe skin. I do get occasionally a few spots when I get my period, I will try it next time! price: £2.68 full size (30ml), as sold in amazon. value to me: £2.68 I don't really know the brand and I didn't have the chance to try it. |
Doisy & Dam chocolate & tea pigs bag
Ooops... Someone ate the chocolate before I could take the picture! lol I couldn't resist! I love chocolate and during my period I have a reason not to feel guilty eating it! The box included a Doisy & Dam small chocolate! I usually don't like dark chocolate so much but this one had a nice crunch (cacao nibs) and a sweeter taste because of the vanilla in it.
There was also a teapigs tea bag included, caffeine free, tummy tonic, pepermint leaves! How sweet! I like peppermint and I think tea is a cute addition to the box!
price: £2.00 for the 40g chocolate(!!!) wow! I feel special! + 20p the tea bag
value to me: £1.20 I am not sure that this 40g chocolate is worth £2 but I definitely enjoyed eating it!

U by Kotex tampons
When I ordered my box I could choose between tampax and U by Kotex tampons (regular, super or super plus). When pink parcel launches its new website it will offer also sanitary towels. U by Kotex is an American brand. I watched some reviews comparing the two brands in youtube and it looked like I had to try the U by Kotex. They looked better than the tampax. Now they offer also the Lil-lets but I have bad experience with their sanitary towels so I'll stay away from this brand. I received 25 U-by Kotex tampons. (If you need more in one month, you should send an email to pink parcel.) 5 of them came in a small pouch with the wording "for now". You can use this pouch to carry the tampons in your bag! The rest of them came in two boxes neatly packed, "for later"!
price:$4.75 (~£2.85) not currently sold in UK
value to me: £2.85 Sounds a reasonable price for 25 tampons

Cafe Rouge - free glass of bubbly with main offer
