Cohorted February is my very first Cohorted box and it did not disappoint I have been excited and waiting with baited breath for this box to arrive and as soon as the postman delivered it I dived straight up stairs box in hand to open my little box of treasures. This stunningly elegant Black box, tied with a luxurious looking black bow made for an even greater expectation for what was inside.
ELEMIS - Hydra gel eye masks
I was actually happier than I would have been a few months ago at receiving these eye masks, if someone would have given them to me then, my reaction would have been one of confusion but now having been an avid youtube watcher and blog reader I am fully aware of these little beauties, I rang my husband and told him he needs to be fully grateful if I let him use one of these precious gems, after all we do need a males perspective too right? After having them on this evening I can confirm that he does in fact have reduced fine lines....score ( my turn tomorrow ) RRP £15
Dove - True Tone underarm lightener
This one shocked me a bit as I didn't expect to receive a Dove product in my box of high end products and it does not appear in the booklet anywhere so I have had to do a bit of research, It sells for around £12 and seems to do its job, a bit of google image searching reveals a few before and after shots and various other armpit pictures :/ I suggest googling only if your OK with seeing some strange looking armpits, It states that its a night time cream so I will be testing when the appropriate hour appears, who knows you may even see some before and afters here as well :)
BareMinerals - Night treatment - medium
Next I saw this bad boy, I was thrilled to see this as I know about this product and it's apparent night time pore healing powers, I had never tried it for myself but its one I was considering buying for my own collection, I'm seriously considering a bit of laser resurfacing so anything I can do to help before that stage is going to be amazing, Very happy with this product Cohorted! well done. Also another plus is that it has a little colour so when you go to bed at night you don't have to look like a pasty, ghost like version of yourself, you can in fact look a little more even toned and fresh looking it however is not as covering as to make you look like you have freshly applied foundation. The real test is going to be break outs or no breakouts.......tomorrow morning we shall see. RRP £45
Marc Jacobs - Lola
This little beauty bonus smells delicious, I love a little perfume sample its just perfect for popping in your hand bag for a little freshen up during the day, a perfect little extra that was hidden down the side of the box.
Cargo - Longwear Lip gloss - Rio
My first cargo product, thank goodness it was a cute colour :) otherwise my introduction to the brand could have gone very wrong, I have swatched and tried this gloss on and I am questioning the longwear description as it seemed to stay for the same amount of time as any gloss but that's not to say I don't like it because I do, Its just the longwear part I feel is an unnecessary addition to the product, The colour is beautiful a coral pinky colour that has great payoff, this colour in a lipstick would be to die for, Can we have that next month please Cohorted...pretty please. RRP £10
Chanel - Longwear Luminous eyeshadow - Apparition
The item I was most excited about, this eyeshadow is BEAUTIFUL! depending on how you look at it, its grey, then its purple then its black, the shimmers are just stunning and make this eyeshadow just mesmerising to look at, It can be blended out to a very light grey or layered to create some very intense looks, I even used the quite stiff little brush that came with it to create some winged eyeliner and the shimmery effect that came with it was dazzling I simply could not stop moving my lid around in the mirror making it sparkle, If you couldn't tell I am a sucker for sparkle and this eyeshadow has me hook line and sinker, I do suggest using a primer as there was some fall out and slippage of product on the eye that didn't have primer on, this however certainly does not detract from my love for this eyeshadow, I have always used Chanel foundations but now feel there shadows will slowly start making there way into my collection if they are all as beautiful as this one!
Now please send out the white Boxes Cohorted I'm excited!
Until next time xx
