About a month before I got this parcel I've received an email saying they will no longer have that service. I felt a bit sad because I like the frequency of the parcels and the content was good too. I suppose if it didn't make them much money it was time to pull the plug. So this is what I got in my last parcel...   1. QV Hand cream...value $6 Gentle, simple and unscented hand cream that does a good job at relieving dry hands. I don't think its easy to find unscented hand cream these days so its a perfect option for those who don't like everything smelling like roses etc. It also absorbed really fast so I would definitely put it in my work drawer. 2. Revlon Uniq One Hair Treatment...value $29.95 I haven't seen this product before, maybe because on the box it says its a salon-only product. It is a leave-in treatment that supposed to repair hair, add shine, volume, make styling easier, act as a heat protector and make hair smoother. I like products that sav...

I was very impressed with the early delivery of The Parcel this time round. It is all about summer and has everything to make you more tanned, protect you from the sun, rehydrate your hair and get rid of the unwanted body hair. Upon closer inspection "Chemist Warehouse" came to mind as the majority of the brands on offer can be found at the discount pharmacies and Priceline. Nevertheless I am keen to try them out. 1. Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturiser...$10.99 This product caught my eye the other day when I was browsing my local supermarket. It is a gradual tanner that supposed to keep your skin nicely moisturised and not have that fake tan smell. To me it smells very similar to Dove gradual tanner, lets just hope that the formula gets absorbed nicely unlike Dove that likes to sit on my skin. 2. Avene Micellar Lotion...$30.95 I get a new bottle of Micellar water in nearly every box which I don't mind as I do use it (takes me ages to go through a bottle ...

A week after my delayed Winter parcel I got my hands on the Spring'16 edition. From the first glance I knew I was going to like it. It contains a lot of goodies to prepare you for the coming warmer season and achieve that glowing bronzed skin, revive hair after winter and inspire you to get a new scent. So here is what I got... 1. Essano Argain Oil Shampoo and Conditioner...value$15.99 They are 50 mls each so they are perfect for a prolonged overseas trip or enough for you to try out the product. They are supposed to be professional quality but at the same time they don't contain any "harmful chemicals". 2. St Tropez Tanning Glove...value $11.99 Tanning gloves changed my world! No more stained hands and patchy application. I will definitely use this one a lot once my current tanning glove dies. 3. St. Tropez Bronzing Mousse...value $12.50 Cult tanning foam that has been around for many many years. This one is supposed to have new scent. I love t...

My review for winter edition of The Parcel was long overdue. No, I haven't been slack, in fact I only received it the other day after writing them several emails and making inquiries at my local post office. Turns out it was delivered to a completely wrong person who signed for it. I was initially told to chase it myself but it resulted in nothing. So I have demanded a tracking number for my spring parcel outlining the whole situation and finally got an apology and the parcel was delivered to me.  My initial thought when I opened this box was "Priceline's finest selection". I don't have anything against Priceline, in fact I love getting some products from them but this is supposed to be a higher end box and I can't see any high-end products in here. 1. Colgate Optic White Toothpaste...value $2.50 I work in a dental office so I get the abundance of samples. Plus I know that this products doesn't really work and is likely to make my teeth se...

Couple of week ago I got an email advising me that I can go and pick up my parcel from Marie Claire. I went there with my card but instead was handed a huge parcel from The Catch of the Day. I never shop with them so I've suspected that something went wrong. It turned out that the sticker from my parcel peeled off at the warehouse and got stuck to the wrong parcel and mine was apparently sitting at the warehouse without any identification. Australia Post and Marie Claire were contacted, few days later I was informed that the new parcel will be mailed to me and today it was waiting for me in my letterbox. I am so glad I received this parcel because I love every single thing! 1. Gilded Cage Unleashed Lipstick in 117...value $40 Luxury orange red lipstick that comes in a gorgeous dark green container and it is made in Italy! I don't tend to spend a lot of money on lipsticks so I love the fact that I will get to try a premium product that I probably wouldn't buy myself....

I was impatiently expecting my MC parcel arrive in early September but it was delivered to me only few days ago. I was particularly excited about this one as it is a special 20th Anniversary edition. So this is what I got... 1. Redwin Coconut Balm - value $5.99 I love the original PawPaw Ointment and keep coming back to it after trying other alternatives. However I am keen to give this product a shot. It basically has lots and lots of various oils plus a bit of beeswax. 2. Frizz Ease Smooth Start Shampoo and conditioner - value $32 I find John Freida products is somewhere in-between your stock standard supermarket brands and higher-end professional products. I know that this particular line been around for a long long time so they must me doing something right. As a bonus it smells very nice and has creamy consistency. Hopefully my fine blonde hair likes it too. 3. MOR Rosa Noir Hand and Body Milk - value $5 I prefer milk consistency of body products in summer as it is a...

Last week I received an email from Marie Claire notifying me that my parcel has been dispatched so sure enough I had a card waiting for me at home. So I walked couple of kilometers to the post office to pick it up (I really enjoyed my walk the the weather was glorious, another positive of not having a car right now). So this is what I got: 1. John Frieda Beach Blonde Shampoo, Conditioner and Sea Salt spray, trial size...value $7.50 I thought it was a bit strange to include summer range of hair products into this pack but I guess it brings nice memories of the beach. I will probably hold off using it until summer months as I prefer to use richer and more moisturizing hair products in winter. However I do love the smell of these, shampoo and conditioner have clean marine scent and sea salt spray smells like vanilla and coconut. 2. Neutrogena Hydro Boost mask x 3...value $15 I can see myself soaking in the bath with oil, wearing this mask and ...

  I picked up my Marie Claire parcel the other day . It 8 items, of which 3 were luxury trial sized products,and 5 full sized mass - market products.  1. Garnier Miracle Skin Cream. Full size, value $19.95 Looks greenish white in a tube but transforms into beige once applied to skin. Supposed to have anti-aging and brightening properties and has barely-there coverage. I am a bit wary of anti-aging products as they tend to be a bit too rich for my skin plus I would prefer something with a bit more coverage so I will give this one away to my mum. 2. Rimmel BB Cream Radiance. Full size, value $12.95 Not sure why they decided to include two somewhat similar products in the same parcel...but I like this one better. I am actually wearing it right now. It  looked quite grey when it first came out of the tube but then it adjusted to my skin tone nicely. I got medium and usually I go for light but it seems to look nice and natural on me. It is perfect fo...
