Goodiebox - March


I don't know about you guys, but after following lots of UK bloggers and reading about their Glossyboxes, I got a little jealous. I mean, who doesn't want to receive a neatly wrapped box with lots of beauty products inside each month. So I was super excited when I learned that a similar service, called Goodiebox, is offered here in Denmark.  For just 119DKK a month, I couldn't resist, so I signed up immediately.

Goodiebox is a new service, this is only their second box and they did have some delays this time. It was supposed to be a March box, but wasn't sent until almost two weeks into April. They compensated by adding a few extra things to the box. Mine arrived this morning and I'll take you through it now.

First look inside

The products


Pukka – Uplifting Toner / Full Size costs 179DKK
I can honestly say, that I will not be using this product. I really like the idea of toners, but with my allergies/asthma they're just not for me, I feel like I'm suffocating when I use products like this.
This one is scented with roses and orange flowers which many people will probably like, but I kind of dislike the scent of roses, so that just makes me want to put this toner even further away.

Kevin Murphy – Luxury Wash / Full Size costs 188DKK
This is probably the product that I'm most excited about in this goodiebox. I never splurge on shampoos, so it's cool to get to try something that I would never buy myself, which is also the reason I bought the goodiebox in the first place.

Now that I've tried it, I'm seriously considering getting a full size. The smell is so amazing and it's left my hair moisturized and so smooth, I really love it! If only it weren't so ridiculously expensive :/

Veet – Suprem’essence Wax Strips / Full Size costs 79,95DKK
Again a product I wouldn't buy myself. I've never tried waxing, so this could probably be an interesting test.

Oh My Gosh  nail varnish – Light Nutmeg / Full Size costs 39,95DKK
I was hoping for a nail varnish and this nude colour with a slight shimmer will be perfect for when I don't want to go too bold with my nails.

Blax – Hair elastic / Full Size (8 stk) costs 69DKK
Maybe I live under a rock, but I had never heard of these, but if I had, I'm sure I wouldn't be paying that price for hair elastics. So it's cool to try them. Apparently, they're the shit, haha. They do seem surprisingly good.

Aco – Sense & Care Hand lotion  / Full Size costs 48DKK
I think many will love this hand lotion. It leaves your hands feeling very soft and smooth with a nice scent. I don't really use hand lotion, only on a occasion, but I wouldn't mind starting to use one more often. But my problem with this one in particular is that it's scented. Again with my allergies and whatnot, I find scented products in general to be really bothersome, but I might use this one every once in a while.

Pukka – Nourishing Face Oil / Full Size costs 329DKK
I don't know about this sample. I have combination skin, so I'm always a bit wary of applying oily products. But maybe I'll give it a go one day to see how it is.

Pukka – Tea / Full Size costs 38DKK
Three tea samples; One with organic nettle, fennel and peppermint, and two with organic rose, sweet vanilla and chamomile. I'm a bit picky when it comes to tea, but I don't mind tasting something new, so I think these are a nice addition to the box.

Chocolate eggs / Three eggs cost 40DKK
They were goddamn delicious. That's all there is to say about these.

Overall
I think this was an okay goodiebox for me, I'm not over the moon about it, but I'm not down in the dirt either. It would have been nice to have received it on time, but what's done is done and I appreciate the extra products they put into the box to compensate.

I mean, it is a bit hit or miss with these kinds of things. They're obviously not going to please everyone every time. For me it was a bit miss, not be cause they didn't offer a wide selection, it's purely because (most of) the products don't really appeal to me. But that's the good thing about the goodiebox, I guess, you get to try products for a cheap price to see if it's for you, so you don't waste a lot of money of full size products you won't use.

There were a few highlights and I'm definitley staying on board for the next box. So if you live in Denmark and you want to sign up for the Goodiebox go to their site here. That's all, I think. I'm excited to see what they come up with for the next box.
