The Parcel - A New Beauty Sample Subscription Box from Marie Claire Magazine

While watching Sunrise recently, I was in awe of a segment detailing a brand new edition to the sample subscription box world in Australia from our very own Marie Claire, The popular magazine is shaking things up with The Parcel. 


The parcel is a new luxury sample subscription box for Australian beauty lovers and Marie Claire readers, Delivered 4 times a year, each box will contain samples from the best brands selected by editorial staff. 


Yesterday I received the first installment - The Spring Edit - heres what I got! :) 

- The Spring Edit -



Lancome Visionnaire Advanced Skin Corrector – 7ml Sample
RRP : 30ml $97

I have never purchased skin care from Lancome, in fact the only thing I have ever bought from this deluxe brand was a foundation. A little research after receiving this product tells me this is a cult skincare serum that may just be exactly what I need claiming to ‘visibly correct wrinkles, pores and the skins texture in 6 weeks’ Im looking forward to trying this deluxe mini sample and possibly purchasing a full size to see how I go over 6 weeks. 

So far I think the little mini sample bottle is adorable and the product itself smells so good!

Revlon Colorstay Moisture Stain – Full Size in Shade London Posh
RRP : Full Size $25.95 each.

Revlon continues to impress me lately, I have been favoring the colorstay liquid foundation for some time now and even though I have only swatched and worn this new lip colour once it is a new fave that has already earnt a spot in my handbag makeup kit.

This shade is a very pale coral with a slight gold copper finish. I love the combination of a lipstick / gloss hybrid its high shine but not sticky like a lipgloss and wears well like a lipstick.



Gwen Stefani By OPI  Nail Lacquers – Full Size in colour I Sao Paulo Over There
RRP : $19.95 each

I will never complain when a new beautiful and awesome quality OPI Nail Lacquer enters my world and my collection and this charming new shade called “I Sao Paulo Over There’ is no exception, however it is not in fact a part of the Gwen Stefani for OPI collection its actually a lovely crème finish brown taupe shade from the OPI Spring 2014 Brazil Collection.

Never the less I am looking forward to having this pretty polish on my nails asap.


Benefit They’re Real! Push Up Liner & Beyond Mascara Samples
Benefit Push Up Liner RRP : $35
Benefit Mascara RRP : $38

I cant believe I got these just after (finally) purchasing a full size mascara and intro size push up liner while I was in Sydney recently. (look out for a blog post / review soon!) such good timing to help me ease into using a brand new eyeliner! Another amazing brand to be on board for The Parcel.

Loreal Paris Elnett Satin Hairspray – Purse Size / Sample
RRP : $4.95

I am really looking forward to trying this cult product from a favorite brand I have heard nothing but good things and I love the convenient size.


Pantene Pro-V Daily Moisture Renewal Shampoo & Conditioner  40mls each
RRP: 200ml $4.99 each.

Im looking forward to trying this shampoo and conditioner, they smell amazing and are a perfect size to take with me on my next trip and even though my hair is improving 'moisture renewal' and 'intense hydration' is just what my poor recently bleached locks need!

I am so impressed with the first installment of The Parcel – The Spring Edit -  from Marie Claire. Some amazing brands and new products to try!
